Zhao Cong

Tras haber tocado previamente el bajo en distintos grupos de rock, Zhao Cong empieza a improvisar en solitario en 2016. Desde entonces, su música ha ido encontrando su lugar en objetos familiares: cosas que están a mano y que, bajo un micrófono, empiezan a comportarse de otra manera. En sus improvisaciones utiliza distintas técnicas de amplificación para explorar sus posibilidades sonoras. No habiendo recibido formación musical, su práctica se ha desarrollado a partir de la vida cotidiana y de la atención a los sonidos que la rodean. Ha publicado trabajos en solitario y en colaboración en sellos independientes de Pekín, Tokio, Montreal o Nueva York, con músicos como Li Song o Dave Knapik, a los que se suman numerosas colaboraciones con el artista Zhu Wenbo.

Entre sus talentos están atrapar cosas al vuelo y lesionarse accidentalmente los dedos.

Zhao Cong started making solo improvised music in 2016, having previously played bass in different rock bands. Since then, her music has found its place in familiar objects: things that are close at hand and that, under a microphone, start to behave differently. In her improvisations, she uses different amplification techniques to explore their sonic possibilities. Not having received formal musical training, her practice has developed out of everyday life and an attention to the sounds around her. She has released solo and collaborative work on independent labels in Beijing, Tokyo, Montreal, and New York, with musicians such as Li Song and Dave Knapik, as well as numerous collaborations with the artist Zhu Wenbo.

Her talents include catching things in midair and accidentally injuring her fingers.
