Yu Miao, Guzheng Virtuoso, Composer, Sound designer

Yu Miao was raised in a musical family and has learned the guzheng since childhood. Her unique modern performance style and mix of eastern and western instruments break the limited understanding of the guzheng as an instrument and give a new interpretation of guzheng music. In her works, Yu Miao tries to break through the traditional technical instrumental music and use the guzheng as a means of sound exploration to convey her inner feelings through music. The particular emphasis on mood in traditional Chinese music is similar to the exploration direction of electronic ambient music, both of them precisely meet Yu Miao's inheritance of modern music style. The French press has described her as "an innovator and exponent of the art of Chinese classical music with a brilliant combination of Chinese contemporary innovation and Western improvisation”.
