Shiyan xianfeng/China avant-garde music fanzine 2011–2015

This pocket-sized Chinese zine is dedicated to experimental and avant-garde music, which, in the eyes of the editor Xi Zhi Zi, is one of the most extreme and marginal forms of auditory art in the world, having surpassed the boundaries of music itself. In the 2010s, Chinese experimental and avant-garde musicians, labels, and performance organizations were emerging one after another, seemingly ready to rival the rock world. However, at that time, there were no specialized publications in the magazine media that focused on this music, thus Shiyan xianfeng was born. What sets this zine apart from others is its presentation of a nostalgic and authentic record of past events and figures, rather than focusing on the present. Four issues were published between 2011 and 2015.
