House Of Wu Fei: Tides and Time

The everlasting cycle of ebb and flood, shaping coastal regions across the globe, is a source of inspiration for Wu Fei. Ancient Chinese poetry and the waves and tides are guidelines for her new ensemble House of Wu Fei, that originated in the city of Ghent. Wu Fei can elicit unprecedented tones and timbres from the guzheng, the Chinese zither, in combination with her voice. Het solo album Yuan appeared on John Zorn’s label Tzadik. On her unusual musical trajectory she met many other musical freethinkers including Fred Frith, Gyan Riley and Abigail Washburn. House of Wu Fei features Dutch double bassist Louise van den Heuvel, and two Flemish players: Dijf Sanders on electronica and Simon Segers (De Beren Gieren, Black Flower) on drums.
