Liew Niyomkarn

Liew Niyomkarn is a sound artist and composer with a background in experimental sound practice and performance. Her work primarily explores layers of sound, repetition of notes, harmonic spectra, and resonances achieved through acoustic string instruments such as the zither and lyre, which she employs to craft various tuning systems. She integrates field recordings to capture the essence of time and the narration of memory through sound. These elements are woven into her sonic palette, highlighting the intrinsic properties of sound—its polyphonic characteristics, slowness, nostalgia, and the manipulation of extended decays and harmonics. She presents her work through live performances and sound installations. Liew works between Bangkok and Brussels.
