Wei Gao is the creative force behind RESONANCE, where the audience becomes the instrument. With a simple movement of a finger, people in the room shape the performance along with the musician. Enriched by their feelings and preferences, RESONANCE is a unique live music experience that evolves and reshapes itself like a kaleidoscope.
Wei brings more than a decade of technology and music discipline to the work. Wei also co-founded MetaOrigin, which builds AI tools for music education, and has spent years exploring how people learn to listen and cooperate.
RESONANCE started from a simple question: what happens to a room when the people in it help shape the music? What I have found out, surprisingly, is that people don't just express themselves. They need to collaborate, compromise, and experiment. It is like a metaphor for exploring life and finding beauty in it.
