Chamberlain Zhang is a Chinese electronic musician, dj, improviser, poet and sound artist born in Beijing.

Coming from a background of experimental techno dj, he tells stories by manipulating sounds while performing and composing.
He is interested in exploring new possibilities in sounds, and new ways to experience sounds: music through sonic meditation, improvisation, composition, installation, electro-acoustic, and collaboration. For Chamberlain, space and future inspires drive and creativity.

Chamberlain’s music and poetry are highly based on the idea of transcendence, using sounds to describe things that are larger, approaching something, leaving something, being mentally affected by something, imagining and creating those and other scenarios. He explores sounds integrated with movement and spatiality, producing sonic architecture that remains.

Chamberlain had studied / performed with Maggi Payne, William Winant, Pauline Oliveros, Zeena Parkins, Fred Frith, Roscoe Mitchell, James Fei, and many other artists around the world. He received Frog Peak Collective Experimental Music Award for outstanding experimental music performance in 2018 from Mills College where he received his MFA in electronic music and recording media.
