Chinese composer Jun Yan (1973) is one of the musicians of the laptop generation
who explores dthe convergence of
the noise-sculpting techniques that come from musique concrete
and the improvised techniques that come from jazz.
Improvisation in Shanghai (Kwan Yin, 2004) was a live collaboration among Yan Jun (on electronics, sampling and field recordings), the duo Other Two Comrades (Huan Qing on kalimba and digital guitar and Chen Zhipeng on percussion) and the quartet Top Floor Circus.
Tie Guan Yin is a duo with Wu Quan devoted to live improvised music, documented on Viva La Vaches (Kwan Yin, 2006)
and Live at 798 Cubic Art Center (Kwan Yin, 2006).
They are lengthy creative sequences of artificial sounds,
concrete symphonies that can range from quasi-silence to ear-splitting cacophony.
Impossible Live at Thinker Cafe 2003 (Sub Jam, 2006) documents a live improvisation with "Fm3" and Wu Quan.
Jun also formed Pisces Iscariots with Dajuin Yao and Li Jianhong.
Live At 2pi Festival 2004 (Sub Jam, 2006) documents one of their live shows, a continuous 44-minute performance: a cold wind that slowly emerges from
lava floods is interrupted by samples of conversations and atonal instruments.
