Introduction

Yang Bao, a cross-disciplinary artist and pianist based in New York, classically trained in piano performance at The Juilliard School and New England Conservatory of Music.

His works create an all-encompassing soundscape that is precise in texture while hypnotizing in motion. His experiential music is visceral, sometimes reckless, and strikingly unself-conscious. Bao is a realistic dream constructor who believes in the power of imagination — there is so much to experience just by being a water drop melting into the ocean or a shiny rock sitting on Mars. Through his sensory-based “physical music,” Bao takes the audience out of their everyday life into a boundless void where anyone can design one’s own reality and live it. His keen interest in quantum mechanics inspires him to engage with every single molecule in the universe through an intimate and reciprocal relationship. Further enhanced by film and technology, Bao’s music is a mirror through which one may look at oneself and the world a little differently. To be anywhere. To be anything.

Bao embraces a wide range of influences, from electronic music to contemporary art. His film “DUALISM” in collaboration with Kaija Saariaho and Jennifer Koh was exclusively featured on Apple Music. Bao has garnered critical acclaim for his multimedia exploration at the nexus of art and technology. He founded Yang Bao Studios to bring together live music, contemporary dance and new media, leading a group of talents who have performed extensively worldwide with top-tier ensembles and venues.
