鋼琴家暨作曲家蔡子安 (Tz An Tsai) 出生並成長於台灣，其藝術實踐跨越了古典鋼琴演奏、電子原音作曲 (Electroacoustic composition) 。2022 年取得瑞士蘇黎世藝術大學 (ZHdK) 鋼琴演奏碩士學位後，他曾於臺北國家音樂廳及誠品表演廳舉辦鋼琴獨奏會。

出於對突破傳統音樂邊界的強烈好奇心，蔡子安在完成古典音樂學業後，轉向了實驗聲音藝術的領域。並於繼續蘇黎世藝術大學學習電腦音樂作曲，師從 Thomas Peter 教授，深入探索聲音與空間表現的多元可能性。後於德國柏林旅居的蔡子安持續拓展其創作版圖。他師從 Zeynep Toraman 學習電子原音作曲。他的作品融合了聲音、影像與空間體驗，建構出多層次的感知敘事，將其深厚的古典音樂底蘊與當代藝術形式巧妙交織。

在創作之外，去年與小提琴家 Juliette Hsieh 和大提琴家 Johannese Herzog 於蘇黎世成立Petrichor 鋼琴三重奏。致力於以真誠且細膩的詮釋，將音樂化為一種感官經驗，使聲音如雨後氣息般深刻。以細膩、真摯的演奏風格，探索音樂與空間、情緒與記憶之間的微妙聯繫。樂團於創團當年即受瑞士交響樂團（Symphonie Orchester Schweiz）邀請，在 Diessenhofen 完成首演，獲得熱烈迴響。更於2026夏天在臺北國家演奏廳以及高雄衛武營表演廳巡迴演出。

Tz An Tsai | Pianist & Composer

Born and raised in Taiwan, pianist and composer Tz An Tsai bridges classical piano performance and electroacoustic composition in his artistic practice. After obtaining his Master's degree in Piano Performance from the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) in 2022, he has held piano recitals atthe National Concert Hall in Taipei and the Eslite Performance Hall.

Driven by a profound curiosity to push the boundaries of traditional music, Tsai transitioned into the field of experimental sound art upon completing his classical studies. He continued his education at ZHdK, studying computer music composition under Professor Thomas Peter, where he deeply explored the diverse possibilities of sound and spatial expression. Later relocating to Berlin, Germany, Tsai continued to expand his creative horizons by studying electroacoustic composition under Zeynep Toraman. His works integrate sound, visual media, and spatial experiences to construct multi-layered perceptual narratives, seamlessly intertwining his profound classical music foundation with contemporary art forms.

Beyond his compositional endeavors, Tsai formed the Petrichor Piano Trio in Zurich last year alongside violinist Juliette Hsieh and cellist Johannes Herzog (Note: corrected from 'Johannese'). The trio is dedicated to transforming music into a deeply sensory experience through sincere and nuanced interpretations, making their sound as profound and evocative as the scent of earth after rain. With their delicate and heartfelt performance style, they explore the subtle connections between music and space, as well as emotion and memory. In its founding year, the ensemble was invited by the Symphonie Orchester Schweiz to make its debut in Diessenhofen, which was met with enthusiastic acclaim. In the summer of 2026, the trio will embark on a tour in Taiwan, with highly anticipated performances scheduled at the National Recital Hall in Taipei and the Weiwuying Recital Hall in Kaohsiung.
