About Zoe Lin & Interval Studio
A tech-savvy composer, Zoe Lin earned her DMA degree in music composition from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, with a focus on technology and music theories, programming, and research.
She is the founder of the Interval Studio, which focuses on developing multidisciplinary works in music and software engineering.
Her multidisciplinary musical work includes the music, sound effects, and 3D immersive mixing of the VR film “Diving into Siraya;” the VR app “VArt Journey;” the algorithmic composition within the app titled “The Forest Breath;” and the algorithmic music parts of the sound and light installation “The Image of the Light Score,” a part of the permanent outdoor exhibition at The Taiwan Music Institute.
The VR film “Diving into Siraya” with her music composition has been exhibited at the internationally famous film festival BIFAN in Korea and Immersive Pavilion at ACM Siggraph, United States in 2021, and her multi-media work for solo saxophone, piano, and electroacoustic music “Journey into the World of Dimensions” which is the first contemporary music with VR scene in Taiwan (possibly in Asia or the world in 2016), has been performed at World Saxophone Congress 2018, and other countries, such as Germany, UK, Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
Her research includes algorithmic composition, reinforcement learning, neural networks (especially NLP), Unity 3D, and VR development. Her music pushes the boundary of contemporary musical aesthetics and media. She is presently experimenting with auditory-visual synesthesia in electroacoustic music compositions and developing new immersive mixing techniques in binaural format.
Zoe Lin has worked as Chief Music Officer at an music AI company in charge of the AI music compositional system. In academia, she is one of the course designers of the national project “/PLUS: Programming Learning for University Students.” Currently, Zoe Lin is teaching“Learning Programming for Music at National Taiwan Normal University, and music composition at Fu-Jen Catholic University in Taiwan.
