Zhao Cong started doing solo improvised music in 2016. Before then, she played bass in rock bands. In her improvised music, she uses all kinds of everyday objects, which she amplifies with different types of microphones to produce unfamiliar and unexpected sounds. She hasn’t had any conventional or even unconventional music education; her practice developed out of her everyday activities. She has both solo and collaborative releases on experimental labels from Beijing, Tokyo, Montreal and New York. She lives in Beijing.
Zhao Cong’s talents include deftly catching things in midair and accidentally injuring her fingers.
