Li Tie Qiao: Returns to China's Improvisational Heart

img  Tobias

Born in the Hunan province in 1973, Li Tie Qiao first learned to play the Bamboo Flute as a child, before picking up the Trombone. It wasn't until much later that he decided on the Sax as his primary tool of expression. As part of a new generation of Chinese musicians, his style is as much influenced by his past in military marching bands and an avid interest in Rock music as it is led by a deconstructionist and fantastic desire for errecting a new sonic language – as can be witnessed on his both raw and romantic Sax Solo on his MySpace site.

Besides performing live, Li Tie Qiao is also actively nurturing China's fledgling Avantgarde scene. In March of this year, he was the main curator behind „Sally Can't Dance“, a festival of experimental sounds held in Beijing.
