Early Technologies imagines social media, autotune, and streaming services as artifacts from another era: awkward, romantic, and a little strange at the same time.
Crossing hyperpop, indie rock, metal, and electronics, each track tells a different story about technology and everyday digital life.
Jiafeng 高嘉丰 is a Shanghai-based singer, producer, digital artist, and developer working across experimental pop, club music, sound art, and music technology.
His practice moves between songs, live performance, browser-based instruments, AI music systems, Web-DJ performance formats, and institution-facing sound work. Projects have been presented at art spaces and festivals including the Power Station of Art, Tank Shanghai, Shenzhen Theatre Biennale, and EMS Stockholm, and have appeared in contexts such as AVYSS, NTS Radio, Dazed, Mixmag, and Rate Your Music.
A recipient of the Margaret Guthman Musical Instrument Competition award, Jiafeng is also among the early Chinese artists to connect AI, NFTs, and pop songwriting. His work treats technology less as novelty than as a way to bend voice, emotion, authorship, and everyday digital life into new forms of popular expression. He holds an M.A. in Music Technology from New York University.
