Sine Surge
sound/movement collaboration with Andrej Bako
Sine Surge is an interdisciplinary duet by Andrej Bako and Zhuo Mengting, bringing electro-acoustic sound and movement into dialogue through a shared system of oscillation. A household speaker, microphone and suspended string form a fragile system of vibration, feedback and response, activated by the body in space. The work draws parallels between sine waves and tidal motion, exploring how repeated forces gather, accumulate, shift, drift and fall away.
Sine Surge has been developed during many performance iterations across many geographies, and has been generously supported by Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff for the latest phase (2026), with mentoring support from David Toop, Dominique Savitri Bonarjee, Bakani Pick-up and Kit Edwards.
Performance Iterations

2024, A Slice of Reality, London
2024, China tour in multiple cities
2026, TAM (Temple of Art and Music), as part of Engine Room series, London
