Anqi Liu

Praised by The Wire as “superb,” Dr. Anqi Liu is a composer, interdisciplinary multimedia artist, photographer, and filmmaker. Her work has been recognized by Boomkat, The San Diego Union-Tribune, Bandcamp Daily, de Volkskrant, Sonograma, Reportersonline, musiquemachine, and El Compositor Habla, among others. Her portrait album Veiled Erosion (KAIROS) has been acclaimed for its fragile, intimate, and culturally expansive sonic world. Critic Peter Margasak wrote that Liu “had already veered from any sort of conventional pathway,” situating her practice within experimental lineages shaped by instability, performer agency, and communal listening. Working across composition, improvisation, electronics, modular synthesizer, Mongolian choor khuur, multimedia, interactive systems, and audiovisual ecologies, Liu develops fraysonics. She is Assistant Professor and Music Production Program Lead at RMCAD and holds a Ph.D. from UC San Diego.
