After a short break, we’re glad to announce our 21st installment and first event of the new year—a Christmas present, if you will—highlighting the tour of Beijing based sound artists and frequent collaborators Zhu Wenbo, Sun Yizhou and Zhao Cong. Their artistic influence defies categorization, representing a scene on their own, somewhere between electro-acoustic composition, tape music and improvisation.In vitro #21
Zhu Wenbo
Zhu Wenbo lives and works in Beijing. He engages in many different music practices; electroacoustic music, tape music, acoustic music, improvisation, composition, and song writing. He also runs experimental music outfit Zoomin’ Night, which started in 2009 as a concert series and began releasing cassettes in 2015. Zoomin’ Night also organises cross-regional works and recordings, introducing lesser-known musical practices to new audiences.

Sun Yizhou
Sun Yizhou born in 2000, lives in Beijing. Plays one or more mis-operated appliances in real-time out of contradiction and uncertainty, in a state of irregularity or homogeneity. He has been performing and recording with various musicians in different places from 2019 till present. Founded the micro-label 'Aloe Records' in 2022. Organizing small experimental music gigs in Beijing called 'Aloe on-site' since 2023 on a continuous basis.

Zhao Cong
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.
