Sun Yizhou (b.2000), based in Beijing. 


Voluntarily, Sun Yizhou has been mis-operatively working with electronic machines since 2019 as an improvising musician. Examples include the use of a mixing board's own noise floor, the short-circuiting of small playback devices, and the vibrational feedback of different objects. These approaches are simple, reductive, and nonhuman. At times, he also uses his body as a human machine happening in real time, and utilizes a combination of various elements of the scene to create situations. These elements include concepts, devices, bodies and spaces.

Off-stage, He runs micro-label 'Aloe Records', which focuses on releasing contemporary non-music from 2022. And co-organizing 'Aloe on-site' with Zhang Cai, a small experimental music concert series in Beijing since 2023.
