Maybe Noise collective member Sheng Jie – who also uses the moniker Gogoj for audiovisual performances – recently released her first solo LP, Oviparity. “Composed with an electric cello and some effects,” writes Josh Feola in The Wire 435, “the album moves elegantly from delicate plucked melodies to harsh, bowed walls of noise, elegiac drones, and densely looped and layered chords.”

This selection of personal home and live audio recordings, sent by Jie, demonstrates her everyday practice and how she transforms her music in front of an audience.
