Kuriko

Guzheng player. Born in Shanghai in 1981. . Having cooperated with
Norwegian, Frech and American musicians, she has collected her own
experiences of performance. Not like Pipa or so, Guzheng is even a more
inflexible instrument when working with western music, but this brings
pleasant challenges to her. Kuriko considers, sometimes more rhythms
should be used, instead of melodies, for achieving a “modern” effect.
