Take a guzheng with a piezo pickup, run it into an ARP 2600 set up for ring modulation. Play. Select, copy, paste, repeat.

This could be called an outtake from the Zhongyu album. Some of these sounds ended up in "Apple of My Mind's Eye 2" on the album.

Guzheng Freakout #1

Zhongyu (终于) is Chinese for "finally" (as in "what took so long?"), and is the name for the current musical project of Jon Davis, who currently lives in Seattle, and formerly lived in Beijing. Before that he lived in Seattle. A long time ago he was in a band called Wild Debbies. Some things from that bygone age will get posted here as well as new stuff.

For newer music, Zhongyu attempts to creatively combine progressive rock with adventurous jazz, electronics and various sounds from around the world. Currently that mostly includes East Asia, but most anything is possible.
