Sto Len’s process-based sound performances continually investigate the sound of everyday objects and places, literally amplifying the voice of the unconsidered materials in our daily lives. Equipped with amplified gloves, he teases sounds out of every conceivable object and surface he touches – a chair, the floor, his body, water hitting the bottom of a metal bowl, and a tree branch picked up on the walk to the venue for example. Using ritual and the materiality of the quotidian, Len evokes fantastical possibilities for the future within the boundaries of the mundane. These improvisational performances sometimes incorporate other analog sound sources such as cassette players, samplers, solar panels, old drum machines, household appliances, and the đàn bầu, a one-string Vietnamese instrument. 

Sto has performed at diverse venues such as MOMA PS1, New Museum, BRIC, Apex Art, St. Marks Church, Clocktower Gallery, Elizabeth Fine Arts, Ramiken Crucible, Silent Barn, Death By Audio, Secret Project Robot, and Roulette in New York, as well as Atelier Kunst Spiel Raum and the English Theater in Berlin, Theater de Chameleon in Amsterdam, La Société de Curiosités in Paris, Convivio in Oaxaca Mexico, Manzi Gallery, Heritage Space and Hanoi Rock City in Hanoi, Vietnam and most recently Dao Xuan Festival in Hoa Binh, Vietnam. He has collaborated on a number of projects including DUBKNOWDUB, Saturn Dogs, and Juju Mechanix.
