GUAN (Boyang Guan) is a Hangzhou-based electronic music producer and sound artist. Guan graduated from the China Academy of Art. He has developed his own way of thinking through his play with sound and other media. He looks at digital society and the relationship between man and machine. GUAN is known for combining genres and his ‘high-tech naturalism’, a sound system based on real experiences and future imaginings. His radical sound experiments create a strange, organic and insane landscape.
GUAN’s creative works are not just music, but also exploring different tools and materials. GUAN has performed in many different ways, including audio-visual, synthesizer live, and DJ. He has also worked with other artists and organizations, such as LazyBackHome, Martin Goya Business, and BRDG, etc. He also started the experimental club music label FunctionLab (2017-2024). His music has been released on Modern Sky, FunctionLab, Merrie Records, and The Collection Artaud, with three albums and several EPs.
GUAN also works as an artist creating video and interactive instruments, as well as software development. He founded an independent instrument studio, Analog Landing, and has developed several Max For Live plug-ins and interactive sound programs.
