LI Jianhong is the founder of 2pi (pronounced “R Pee”), or Second Skin, an avant-rock band as well as record label in Hangzhou, China. He plays a crucial role in the Hangzhou/Shanghai experimental music scene, both as a guitar-noise maker and a sound artist. He was the lead guitarist of 2pi (the band) and one half of the grindcore duo D!O!D!O!D!, and has recently launched the hardware-noise group Acidzen with HUANG Jin.
