主要關注兩個方向：一為人的聲音。人聲的各種表現的可能，不同民族的、語言以外的、語言以前的、破損失真或擬仿或陌生的語言，語言被還原為語音、人的聲音卻仍可能夾帶了更多的訊息與脈絡。另一為聲音與環境。或環境的聲音、聲音的環境，人自身以外環繞著的種種外在事 物所產生的聲音，人與這環境聲音間的關係,如何更加感知並予以回應，是為今後課題。

Fang-yi Liu lives in Kaohsiung. He is concentrated in free style musical/ tonal improvisation. Also he re-mixes and edits sound recorded in the fields as demonstration works.
He mentioned two major points. First is about the human voice. The pronounce action from different races and cultures contained not only languages, but also the sound of out of languages, before languages, distortion and lapsing of languages, etc. Even the unestablished pronouncing still can bring the signal or context to the receivers. Second is about the environment sound or sound field. People are surrounded with sounds induced by every vital or mortal things. The problem of sensing or recognition environmental sound are his major projects. He tries to use any kind of materials or methods to approach these two topics.
He also created a Facebook group called Cochlea and try to introduce the musician from different fields to the new audiences. He hold several performances to promote new audio experience.
