GNO Top 10 series - Zafka

by lawrence

Zafka (ZHANG Anding) is a member of the Guangzhou-based free form project 21floor, which explores the possibility of interdisciplinary collaboration and the idea of finding “alternative spaces” for sound art/multimedia performance. Before joining the group, Zafka was the guitarist of the post-rock band Prague in Shanghai.
Zafka’s blog (Chinese) is here.

(GNO Top 10 series invites Chinese sound artists/experimental musicians to list music/albums that are either their personal favorites or have crucial influence on them as artists. By doing this, we try to present the Chinese aural art scene in the context of the global music ecology.)
