Dou Wei (born October 14, 1969) is a Chinese musician, singer-songwriter, composer and music producer. He is a representative figure in Chinese rock music. Alongside rock singers He Yong and Zhang Chu, they were collectively known as the "Prominent Three of Moyan Record Label" in the 1990s.[1]
Music
Dou Wei is a multi-instrumentalist and produces music across many genres. He first came to prominence as a member of the hard rock group Black Panther (Hei Bao, 黑豹). In the album Sunny Days and Mountain River, Dou Wei explored new frontiers in electronic and ambience.[citation needed] From there on, Dou Wei's music took the direction of ambience, folk and post-rock. His two last vocal album Acousma and Rainy Murmur with the E band drew influence from the UK post-rock group Bark Psychosis.[2]
Since then[when?] Dou Wei's music became more improvisational and he has consistently collaborated with others and formed the group Indefinite. His 2013 album Golden Curse (殃金咒) was described as "a fifty-minute Buddhist metal freakout".[3]
In 2014 he released the "one track album" Horoscope, with Zifeng on flute and Moxi Zishi.[3]
Personal life
Dou Wei has two daughters: one named Dou Jingtong, born to his ex-wife, Chinese pop singer Faye Wong, and the other one, Dou Jiayuan (窦佳嫄), born to his ex-wife, photographer Gao Yuan (高原). Both of his daughters are now singers.
On 10 May 2006, Dou was arrested for storming the office of The Beijing News' editorial department, destroying a computer keyboard and a DVD player, pouring water on editors in the office, and setting fire to a car's boot parked in front of the newspaper's office building. Dou claimed that his actions were a response to the newspaper’s negative reports about his relationship with Gao Yuan and his financial situation.[4]
In March 2019, Dou was married to Chen Ran, a longtime fan two decades younger than him. Their daughter was born in 2016.[5]
