Gūsū

Join us for a unique sonic journey as Gūsū, the Zurich-based duo of Xueyan Chen and Nicolas Balmer, present their debut album The Ending Was A Typical Part in a soothing live performance. Blending the resonance of the guzheng with the deep textures of modular synthesis, Gūsū crafts a sound both intimate and expansive – where slow-moving, finger-picked melodies meet layers of electronic abstraction. Chen’s improvisational approach liberates the guzheng from its traditional framework, while Balmer’s bass guitar and modular synths weave a cryptic yet harmonious scenery. Experience an evening of sound that drifts between worlds—organic and synthetic, past and present, delicate and immersive.
