Founded in 1999 by Christiaan Virant and Zhang Jian, two active members of the Beijing music scene, FM3 are considered pioneers of electronic music in China.
Known for dedicating prime space for “live” aspects within their work, FM3 produces mysterious, meditative and minimalist soundscapes, while subtly adding elements of Chinese folk tradition into a universe abundant in micro-sounds and synthetic glitches.
FM3 worked among others for the Louvre museum in Paris, providing a new soundtrack for the 1930s film 'La Croisière jaune'. FM3’s sound installations have been featured at the 2004 Shanghai Biennale, the Dashanzi International Art Festival and the Kulturhalle Dampfzentrale in Bern.
