Site Description: Born and raised in Beijing, Wu Fei is a virtuoso composer, vocalist and guzheng (Chinese zither) performer. She spent her formative years at the China Conservatory of Music before coming to the US in 2000. She holds a M.A. in Composition from Mills College and is a grant recipient of “Meet the Composer”. While at Mills, she began to diversify her sound and experiment widely, working with musicians like John Zorn, Fred Frith, Carla Kilhstedt, Béla Fleck, Pauline Oliveros, and Cecil Taylor. Wu Fei has performed in cities around the world, including Beijing, Berlin, Rome, Venice, Milano, Dublin, Oslo, Rotterdam, New York and San Francisco.
Project Profile: Wu Fei’s long-standing plain HTML-based site needed an upgrade to a more powerful and easy to manage CMS-based system so the busy artist could keep it updated quickly and efficiently no matter where she happened to be in the world. A fully original theme, overlayed on top of the powerful WordPress framework was employed to achieve the goals of the redesign. Additionally, a more fluid and artistic design was created to reflect Wu Fei’s style, giving her a site she could use to inform fans, media and promoters alike.
