Mindy Meng Wang & Tim Shiel have

been performing live together since 2021.

Live, Mindy and Tim both bring many years of experience in collaboration, improvisation and performance to the stage.

Mindy’s virtuoso guzheng skills are perfectly counterbalanced by Tim’s playful electronics, atop insistent house and afrobeat influenced rhythms.

Whether performing as a duo (guzheng and electronics), or as a full four-piece band (guzheng, electronics, drums, bass), seeing Mindy Meng Wang and Tim Shiel is a thrilling, inspiring and transporative experience.

Mindy has performed hundreds of shows across both avant-garde and traditional settings, including collaborating with Gorillaz on Monkey: Journey to the West and touring with Regurgitator.

Tim has performed hundreds of shows as a member of the international touring band for Gotye, including Coachella Festival, Saturday Night Live, the Hammersmith Apollo & the Sydney Opera House.
