Bio
Baishui Gan, well-known as his first name Baishui, born in a small Sichuanese city, is a composer and self-taught guitarist and master of many traditional Chinese instruments, whose compositions and performance have ranged across his career from neo-folk and dark-ambient-influenced music to experimental and post-rock sounds—and beyond. With neo-folk project Bloody Woods, experiment-in-randomness One Day In A Quark and under his own name, Baishui has been crafting intelligent and creative music unlike anything being made in his homeland. Recently, Baishui seeks out, and has be sought out by, collaborators from across the musical spectrum and world. A small American tour resulted when scouts from the venerable SXSW festival invited him in 2013; plans are in the works for continued American efforts, and further collaborations with artists from across the musical spectrum and world. From 2013 to 2015, Baishui composed film score for the Chinese famous director Cao Baoping's two movies Einstein and Einstein and The Dead End, and The Dead End Soundtrack Collection won the Best Film Music Album of 16th Chinese Music Media Awards. Baishui became the first mainland Chinese composer to win this award. His tenth album Dairy of Broken Sounds goes with a lighter sound; full of electronics it still feels distinctly unplugged, in stark contrast to recent post-rock and experimental forrays. Diary, in short, takes a minimalist approach to the artist’s very maximalist goal: the pursuit of a new music—“Baishui Music”—with an Eastern core. In recently years, Baishui have always been working on his brand new project Sound in Motion, it's a interesting and free art project in which many artists in various of field were invited to cooperate with Baishui. Now, Baishui has moved to the US this Spring, his new period is coming.
