About the artist
Feng Jiangzhou is the lead singer of the Fly Band and a pioneer of electronic music in China. In 1998, Feng Jiangzhou collaborated with the Taiwanese electronic group 3rdNova to release “Love in the Time of Flies,” hailed as China's first true electronic music album. Feng Jiangzhou is widely involved in new media art, sound art, installation art, film and television scores, stage design, and more. In 2006, he co-founded the “Deaf Mute Blind School Club” label with Wu Ershan, releasing three albums before pausing his music career. It wasn't until 2019 that he made a comeback, performing at the Tomorrow Music Festival in Shenzhen. In 2023, he started a series of tours with the Fly Band, including appearances at the West Lake Music Festival, Strawberry Music Festival, and Hong Kong Clockenflap Music Festival.
Weilu Ge is a composer and media artist based in Cambridge. She works with various media forms, from concert music, installation, performance to video and innovative technology. Since 2015, she has focused her research and career on experimental and intermedia theatre in the role of a Composer-Director, exploring the potential of sound and space as the medium that integrates other art forms and helps create a comprehensive artistic expression. Her recent practice and experiments center around theatrical expressions of sonic, visual and spatial media, taking composition and space as critical means to examine relationships between power, system, body, and technology in a social-cultural context. She is an active member of IMUU, an artist collective and practice-based research lab specializing in working with intermedia narratives to create interactive and immersive experiences.
