Mindy Meng Wang 王萌 and Tim Shiel
China/Australia
In early 2020, a strange friendship blossomed between the multi award winning composer and guzheng master Mindy Meng Wang 王萌, and her Melbourne electronic counterpart; the innovative thinker, writer and radio host Tim Shiel. The pair made contact early in the pandemic, drawing upon archival recordings of Mindy’s guzheng (Chinese horizontal harp) and reworking these into new compositions that took on a musical direction neither had thought possible. The works range from beautifully reimagined, spacious meditative pieces to high-octane, Blade-soundtrack-esque industrial raves; a unique and wonderful dive into the spaces that exist somewhere on the fringes of jazz, electronica, pop, avant-garde experimentation and classical Chinese tradition.
