响使用田野录音、噪音、原声身体和小提琴。她的作品关注一切正在发生的微小噪音与空白。基于对存在于景观或空间结构中的声音及其它介质的基本性的研究，通过即兴或作曲在环境中创造新的情境，并由此探索个体意识与田野状态的潜在关联。

她也是移涌小组、尼安德特人乐团和女兵的成员。

Xiang (b. 1984, Chengdu) has been an active presence in the experimental music scene in Chengdu since 2017.

Xiang uses field recording, noise, acoustic body and violin. Her work focuses on the subtle changes in sound and space. Based on the study of the basic properties of sound and other media existing in landscapes or spatial structures, she creates new situations within the environment through improvisation and composition, thereby exploring the potential connection between individual consciousness and the condition of the field.
