Ming Room明室 - the quaint overflowing library, space, store, and/or archive stationed by the ever-wonderful Xie Wang 谢旺 - has long been home to Shanghai’s steadfast experimental music and underground art scene. Located on a second-floor walkup off of Shaoxing Lu, walking into the place is akin to stumbling into an arthouse hoarders' den - a minefield of art from underground art movements over the past sixty years. They celebrate 14 years on the scene this weekend as experimental music promoter fit none hosts a variety of showcases from Saturday, May 16th to Tuesday, May 19th - giving listeners a snapshot of Shanghai’s robust and engaging experimental music scene. Acts joining the celebration include electronic producer Simon Frank, long-standing sound exporters MAI mai and Zhu Songjie, visiting Leeds-based noise act Territorial Gobbing, and the Free Music Collective of Shanghai - a rotating collective of local experimental improvisers joining forces.
