Germaine Liu

percussion

Germaine Liu (b. 1983, Hong Kong) is a composer/percussionist based in Tkaronto (Toronto), Treaty 13 Territory in Ontario. Liu is interested in exploring and sharing the things that she finds joyful in collaborative settings, with the hopes that players involved are open and willing to participate. She loves the tactile, movement, sonic and physical explorations of found objects and percussion instruments.

In addition to her interest in sounds/movement/touch, she also makes jewelry as handmade by germaine with the intention of using recycled materials as a way of crafting them in a new light. She is also part of the Willow Gardens Collective with friends, where she is happily learning how to grow, share food, care for and love the land.
