What we do
Null-state is a live-electronics and live-coding ensemble co-founded by Melody Chua and Benjamin D. Whiting. Null-state also engages in the research and development of a sensor-augmented electroacoustic flute, Chaosflöte, making it accessible to both experienced performers and those with less familiarity with electronics. As part of a desire to share the joy of working with electronics, Null-state teaches seminars on incorporating electronics in instrumental composition and performance, as well as live coding.
