Li Daiguo

Li Daiguo is a boundary-pushing experimental musician and multi-instrumentalist based in China, known for blending traditional Chinese instrumentation with avant-garde electronics and improvisation. He often incorporates instruments like the erhu (a two-stringed fiddle) and guqin (a zither-like instrument) into his work, creating hypnotic soundscapes that drift between ancient folk traditions and futuristic noise explorations. His projects range from meditative solo performances to collaborations with visual artists and filmmakers, including contributions to soundtracks like *《女人世界》* (*Women’s World*), which showcase his knack for evocative, narrative-driven compositions.

Recent releases like *meditation music for the artificially intelligent* and *A.I. is our progeny…* reveal his fascination with technology’s role in art, while playful children’s albums like *吥哔呢未来音：奇幻童年* (*Bubini Future Sound: Fantasy Childhood*) highlight his whimsical, genre-fluid approach. Whether crafting talismanic sonic rituals (*Sonic Talismans*) or reimagining lullabies (*Pilgrimage to the Realm of Deep Baby Sleep*), Li Daiguo thrives in the gaps between tradition and innovation, spirituality and artificiality, always leaving listeners curious about where his sonic curiosity will take him next.
