Dr. Anqi Liu is a composer, interdisciplinary multimedia artist, photographer, and filmmaker. Critics including The Wire, Boomkat, San Diego Union-Tribune, de Volkskrant, Sonograma, and Reportersonline have praised her work for intensity, color, and tactile sound worlds. Her portrait album Veiled Erosion appears on KAIROS; her solo synthesizer record features improvisatory performance. Her music, written and freely improvised, has been presented internationally across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Liu develops the Ecology of Fraysonics, treating sound as a living ecology of thresholds shaped by friction, erosion, and renewal, rooted in long-term research with Mongolian long-song singers and fiddle artists. She teaches composition, theory, and sound studies, and currently serves as a subject matter expert at Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design. She holds a PhD in Music Composition from UC San Diego.
