Dr W. Sze Tsang (they/them) is a published researcher, performer, composer and audio-visual artist residing in Boorloo/Perth, Western Australia.

Integrating field recordings, audio effects, and electronic music, Tsang’s audio-visual work encompasses abstract, real, and imagined landscapes.

Sze has presented at international and national conferences and published academic writings on soundscape composition. Sze’s PhD thesis completed in 2023, The cartographies of place: Approaches to audio-visual composition incorporating aspects of place, based on how the ephemerality of sound reflects the ephemerality of being, and the fragility inherent in any relationship with place, was awarded the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) School Research Medal.

Sze performs and has exhibited works nationally and internationally as samarobryn, and also regularly performs at venues around Boorloo/Perth. Some of Sze’s commissions include State Library of Western Australia, Tura New Music, the Difficult Listening Project and the You Are Here festival.
