About Sin:Ned
http://www.re-records.com/
Sin:Ned, aka Dennis Wong / Wong Chung-fai, is an improviser, experimentalist and noise practitioner from Hong Kong. He regards himself as a sonic medium and his works, only manifestation of sound that already exists but unheard. His practice on noise and sound signifies a strong sense of sonic mysticism in search of direct and pure physical sound experience through chaos, errors and the extremes. As an instrumentalist, he struggles to defy all existing rational and orthodox structures by pursuing a “meaningless, aimless and purpose-less” sonic existence. His choice of instrument and materials ranges widely from Chapman Stick, guitars, laptop, hardware synths, circuit bent instruments, field recordings to various unusual non-musical objects and devices. He is the co-founder of Re-Records (www.re-records.com) and advisor of soundpocket (www.soundpocket.org.hk); also founding member of experimental outfits No One Pulse, After Doom and adeo. He is currently running the live performance series NOISE to SIGNAL for improvised noise and experimental music

Being a veteran writer of the legendary Hong Kong alternative music magazine MCB (Music Colony Bi-Weekly), his writings had influenced a wide spectrum of experimental musicians and listeners in Hong Kong and China. As a sound improviser, he has offered performance and creative work for concert, sound installation, workshop, audio-visual and theatrical performance such as Get It Louder (2007), Hong Kong & Shenzhen Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture (2007, 2009), Architecture is Art Festival (2009), Notch Festival 2009 Guangzhou Station (2009),
Against 2012: Fukuoka Extreme Music Festival (2012), New Vision Arts Festival (2012), Miji Festival (2013), Kill The Silence Festival (2013), Freespace Festival (2013)…etc.

He has collaborated with artists such as Zbigniew Karkowski, Otomo Yoshihide, Kazuhisa Uchihashi, Alfred 23 Harth, Yan Jun, Torturing Nurse, dj sniff, and Dickson Dee…etc. His works have been featured in the infamous Belgium imprint
Sub Rosa’s “An Anthology of Chinese Electronic Music” and “An Anthology of Noise & Electronic Music Vol. 7”.

About Organs Without Body
http://www.re-records.com/discography/re-cd-012/
Organs Without Body is the lastest full length album featuring four solo improvisations recorded in Tokyo, Hong Kong and Macau on Chapman Stick, from one of the most enigmatic noise practitioners in Hong Kong. With huge amount of feedback, distortion, and extreme physical manipulation, Sin:Ned is pushing the Chapman Stick far beyond it’s original sonic existence, into a realm of pure energy, frequency and vibration. Brutal blend of physical doom metal on acid for extreme noise droners.

About Philippe Petit:
http://www.bip-hop.com/
Philippe Petit regards himself as a "musical travel agent" instead of a composer.

Since the early 2000s he have been performing the world, playing festivals all over Europe, Canada, USA, Mexico, Australia & Asia...etc. His works have been released by several international labels such as Aagoo, Southern UK, Monotype, Alrealon Musique, Beta Lactam Ring, Sub Rosa, HomeNormal, Important, HelloSquare, Public Eyesore, Utech, Staubgold, etc.

To compose music, he uses various instruments or devices, though most notably an Electric Psalterion + Hackbrett Cymbalum + Caterpillar Drum Guitars built by Yuri Landman + turntables as well as a computer and synths to build up electronic layers, process acoustic and field recordings. On top of these, he also make use of various non-musical materials and objects such as glasses, pieces of wood, stones, or percussive objects, as well as taking advantage of vinyl material to fondle released sounds.

Dealing with Electroacoustics, he relies on electricity/amplification to produce, manipulate, work on sound-material, but trying his best to explore various genres and make sure that each of my albums differs from the previous one, trying to avoid routine to surprise the listeners.

As journalist for various magazines/radios since 1983, as well as a musical activist, he has celebrated 30 years of activism, sharing musical passions...

He is also the man behind the cult labels Pandemonium Rdz. and BiP_HOp.
