Zhao Cong is an experimental musician living in Beijing. She has been playing improvised music through her own approach since 2016, before and after she plays bass in rock band. When making music, Zhao Cong uses a variety of everyday objects, amplified by pickups from a variety of microphones, to bring out unfamiliar and heterogeneous sounds.
55355 is a recording that is both outdoors and in-outdoors at the same time. It is "electric" music, but not electronic music at the same time. Recorded on 9th April 2023, it consists of four sessions, which were excerpted after without overdubbing. This may sound cryptic, but would make clear once you hear it.
