rainrainRainbow is the solo project of Julia Dèng Hànzú, a multimedia artist, experimental musician and sound therapist born in Chongqing, China, and currently based in London, England.
As rainrainRainbow, she fuses her childhood training in traditional Chinese music with current interests in experimental approaches and sound therapy practices. Electronics and interactive systems are combined with extended techniques to plucked instruments such as the pipa and guzheng. Her music has a world-building depth, but in these intricate layers a sense of playful intimacy emerges, as digital textures entangle with environmental sounds and glimmers of stringed instruments. The results are equal parts surreal and comforting, alien and familiar. Gently augmenting reality rather than slipping into background ambience, rainrainRainbow generates spaces and places vibrating with possibility.
