Artist Profile
Qianhui Sun (Sanki) is an interdisciplinary artist working across sound art, painting, photography, and visual arts. Her work explores the intersections of perception, memory, and emotion, constructing immersive experiences through sound, imagery, installation, and performance to reveal the intricate relationships between individuals and their environments.
In sound art, Qianhui specializes in experimental electronic music, environmental soundscapes, and interactive installations. Her work spans multiple media, including games, films, and animation. Under the name Sanki, she performs live sound experiments, blending noise, sampling, and synthesis to create deeply atmospheric sonic narratives.
Her visual art practice also carries a distinctive emotional intensity and symbolism. Her painting style oscillates between abstraction and expressionism, characterized by bold color contrasts, raw textures, and symbolic imagery that reflect themes of identity, social structures, and the fluidity of memory. Her photography explores the interplay of light, space, and time, capturing fragmented narratives that blur the boundaries between reality and imagination.
Currently based in London, she continues to experiment at the intersection of sound, visual art, and performance, seeking new modes of expression and challenging conventional sensory perceptions.

Inspired by fragments of childhood memories, the album unfolds as a dream experiment, where forgotten echoes resurface in unfamiliar forms. It is neither a reconstruction nor a preservation, but rather a reinterpretation—an invitation to lose yourself in the shifting layers of sound and experience something entirely new. Let’s just have fun.
This is an electronic music album reconstructed with Chinese minority music, the samples in this song are taken from the yelling of the knife sharpeners downstairs when I was a child.

Beijing
This is an electronic music album reconstructed from the music of China's ethnic minorities. The samples in this song are taken from the shouting soul of the Lisu people. Shouting is an old Chinese belief folklore, popular in most parts of the country. In ancient times, it was believed that when a person died of a disease, his soul was scattered and he had to invoke the soul to restore his spirit and prolong his life, thus the custom of "invoking the soul".
London
This is an electronic music album restructured with Chinese minority music. The samples in this song are taken from the Bi Mo chanting of the Yi ethnic group. BiMo masters the ancient Yi language and the knowledge of their own culture and customs, history and religion, and can preside over the ritual activities in the village, such as sacrificing to the fire god (torch festival), mountain god, etc., as well as praying for ghosts and curing illnesses, divining, and weddings. Bi Mo is the inheritor of Yi traditional culture. In the Yi people, Bi Mo is regarded as the messenger of the gods.
