Beholder Halfway #26 - Experimental Music in China with Edward Sanderson
Monthly investigations of music politics with Paul Rekret.
This month: On the occasion of the Zoomin Nights and End of the Alphabet Records co-release of the compilation There is No Music From China (compiled by Yan Jun & Zhu Wenbo), I discuss the Chinese experimental music and sound art scene with curator and researcher Edward Sanderson.
Edward Sanderson is a researcher and writer about contemporary art in China. He lives and works mainly in China and most recently, curated 'Grounds for Sound' at Inside - Out Art Museum in Beijing. He blogs about Chinese visual and sound art here.
