In this video, Michelle Kwan performs Daft Punk’s Derezzed, from the Tron: Legacy soundtrack, on Guzheng.
The Guzheng is an ancient Chinese zither and is a precursor to the koto. Kwan counts Buckethead, John Frusciante, Guns n’ Roses and Daft Punk as influences, and uses guitar pedals with the Guzheng to expand its sonic palette.

That is kick ass, nice to see someone really enjoying their instrument
Glad to see life is good after ice skating…
Great playing.
I just wish there wasn’t that Daft Puke muzak in the back.
Yes! This.
baha – also couldn’t help but think of figure skating
would love to hear a version without the ‘backtrack’
is the distortion part of her pedal setup? or is that the ‘clashing’ of the two audio tracks?
I like how she looks at the camera with the “I got this” attitude. Very nice! Bravo!
Sometimes humans are in actually cool. Nice post.
I love the guzheng. Wonder if its hard to learn? Have been playing with the idea of buying me one. Really well played 🙂
