Yan Jun

Location: China, Berlin

Yan Jun is musician and poet, born in Lanzhou in 1973 and currently based in Beijing, He works with field recording, voice, electronic feedback and body movements on his many conceptual projects and live performances.

After his experimental podcast through the ‘non music’ scene in Beijing, which was commissioned by us as part of Counterflows at Home 2021, we are delighted to welcome Yan for a rare solo performance. The first time we saw Yan live he shared with an English-speaking audience a 15 minute long “secret” recited in Mandarin, dripped sweat onto a chair ,and walked out into the street and started screaming. What to expect this around? We have no idea.

“i wish i was a piece of field recording.” – Yan Jun
