About
Sonophonix emerged from a long and fruitful friendship between two very dedicated classically trained musicians. Deborah Robb and Xue Yang Liu met for the first time while students at the Mannes School of Music at the New School in New York City. While attending Mannes they performed chamber music together and were members of the Mannes American Composers Ensemble (MACE) under the direction of composer Lowell Liebermann. MACE made its formal debut in Alice Tully Hall at the Lincoln Center.
After leaving Mannes, they decided to unite and formed the Sonophonix duo. Sonophonix merges their composing, arranging and improvisation skills of many different genres of music with classical motifs, creating a rich overlay of sounds with electronic production elements. They performed in Alice Tully Hall at Carnegie Hall and composed and wrote arrangements for various projects. Most recently they created a piano quartet for the Endem Foundation in Mauritius.
