Bio:

EMMANUEL MIEVILLE is a Paris born French sound artist and experimental musician who studied at the world renowned GRM (Groupe de Recherches Musicales) in the field of musique concrete. He also studied sound engineering and attended a cinema school. His aesthetic concern and direction as a composer originate from a desire to give the listener a shifting or blurred perception of soundscapes. Musical experiments with sound-field materials or objects and instruments are undertaken within the intuitive and dynamic stream of unconscious brain stimulations. Some of his collaborations or improvisations yielding patterns or structures, that express ideas but most of the time, the idea of musical flux lingers on his works.His tropism towards sound scapes, sound sculpting and gathering of spatials tools for composition, provides him with a better understanding and perception of sound, as a vector for social awareness and wisdom. He played for two years with a Javanese gamelan orchestra, and is interested in merging ethnic instruments into electroacoustic music. Amongst other collaborations, he has worked with several dancers for Butoh performances, with French composer/performer Eric Cordier a for live concert (2005), and with Korean video performer, Heesok Yu, for a concert. He also contributes and participates with much constancy to Framework, on Resonance FM (London), which is a radio show dedicated to field recordings.

Time: 19:00 - 22:30
Venue: Para/Site
G/F, 4 Po Yan Street, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong
香港上環普仁街4號地下

As a follow-up project for "Dialogue with The Ghosts", a group of local experimental artists, in the eve of the Chinese Ghost Festival, continue to re-establish an on-going dialogue with the deceased. Through a series of multi-media art performance aiming to re-interpret and re-activate various local spiritual beliefs and rituals, we will dive into the world of the unknown and attempt to make contact with those from the other side. The ultimate aim, is to confront and acknowledge, those who had been forgotten, but still exist on the other side (or somewhere deep inside). Art, for us, is the ritual, through which, liberation can be attained.

Audience is invited to bring with them objects or personal belonginigs that represent their “ghost” (unfinished business), or to write down what is haunting them. These obojects and writings (ghosts) will be placed at our main installation (altar) during the performance (ritual), and be burned at the end of the performance (letting go).

All audience will receive a handmade charm and a copy of limited edition CD released by Lona Records, containing re-interpretation mix by Alok, Sin:Ned and KWC, on the sound materials of "Dialogue with the Ghosts", as recorded on July-7, 2007.

作為「異靈對話」的延續,一群本土實驗藝術創作人,於中國鬼節前夕,透過一系列重新探討本地靈異信仰及祭禮習俗的跨媒體實驗創作,再次試圖與靈對話。藝術,是我們的祭典,為已亡超度,讓未亡善存。

觀眾須帶備像徵其個人「心魔」之物件入場 (或以文字或圖像表達於現場提供的紙張上) ,並將這些物件、文字 (鬼) 於演出 (祭典) 時放於場地的主藝術裝置 (供壇) 。演出後,這些物件、文字將會由藝術家以特設儀式焚化 (超度) 。

所有入場觀眾,均獲即場手造之護身符,及由Lona Records限量印製的CD一張 (內含「異靈對話」的現場錄音塑材,並由Alok, Sin:Ned及KWC重新處理混音)。

場地介紹 (About the Venue)

Embassy Project由Adrian Wong 及Samantha Culp策劃及主理的實驗工作室。借用學院派的研究方法,Adrian及Samantha旨在探找一種「超文化」的體驗。然而,他倆的研究重點,不在於一般學院派的統計學等陳腔濫調。他倆選擇的取向,是深入其進駐點的核心本質。他倆形容自己為外交官,游走於異地現實與夢想之間。

Embassy Projects is a newly formed collaboration between Adrian Anthony Wong and Samantha Hallie Culp. Using a research-based methodology, we seek to explore “trans-cultural” experiences –but rather than focusing on statistics, demographics, or anthropological clichés, we prefer to dig into the heart of the locations we inhabit. The result, we hope, is the experience of crawling into someone else’s head, of mapping their subjective reality, of eating breakfast with their grandparents, while offering up a bit of ourselves as well. We are agitators, architects, and ultimately, diplomats between the foreign lands of dreams and reality, self and other, childhood and everything that comes after.

Sin:Ned
Sin:Ned (黃仲輝),樂評人、實驗電音及聲音藝術創作人。 Sin:Ned 最早出現於香港另類音樂雜誌 MCB (音樂殖民地),擅長以實驗性文體及偏險的理論化角度進行音樂論述。除 MCB外,其音樂論述文字亦散見於《號外》、《明報》等不同刋物。其後,更進一步沉迷以電腦軟體及各種非正統發聲工具製樂。一度是網上音樂共同體Tapegerm之成員,於2003年亦曾出演《香港視野音樂節》(Sound & Vision Festival) 之Media Jam項目《Survival Kit》。早期創作可見於《Music For Your Beautiful Boy》、《Mondisk》、《MCB200》、Alok的《29 Minutes From The End》及Tapegerm共同體的多款合輯。他的首兩張個人作品《Uroborus: A Study On No-input Device》 及 《60 Seconds: A Schizophrenic Manual For Eternity》,均於2006年發表於Lona Records名下。2006年, Sin:Ned與多媒體創作共同體Sleepatwork之主腦巢健威組成概念組合No One Pulse,並分別於香港的Lona Records及中國的Little Sound發表了二步曲實驗電音專輯《Tele》及《Pathic》。

Sin:Ned (Wong Chung-Fai), an idiosyncratic writer and a sonic junkie from Hong Kong, hacks and twists anything he can put his hands on. One of the major contributing writers of the legendary Hong Kong alternative music magazine MCB. While not writing as a pseudo-music critic elaborating his esoteric worldview, in the same idiosyncratic fashion, he spends much of his time hacking and sculpting sonic materials with his laptop and various electronic gears. Used to be a member of the internet-based music collective Tapegerm, and had also performed as a sonic improviser in the “Media Jam – Survival Kit” of 03 HK Sound And Vision Festival. Some of his earlier sound works can be found in various releases such as “Music For Your Beautiful Boy”, “Mondisk”, “MCB200”, Alok’s “29 Minutes From The End” and several compilations released by the Tapegerm collective. His first two solo works, “Uroborus: A Study On No-input Device” and “60 Seconds: A Schizophrenic Manual For Eternity”, were both released by Lona Records in 2006. In 2006, Sin:Ned formed a concept group, No One Pulse, with his long time collaborator Chau Kin-Wai (Sleepatwork), and released first two installments of their experimentation, “Tele” and “Pathic” , under Lona Records (Hong Kong) and Little Sound (China) respectively.

Wilson Tsang
曾永曦,自幼隨母研習古典鋼琴,其後受外國多種音樂潮流影響下,開始探索不同之音樂風格,包括搖滾、民謠、爵士怨曲等,並于九十年代初正式以業餘身份進入香港獨立音樂圈子。在1993 年,曾創作及演出首個個人音樂會“熱壼仔音樂故事”,作為當年藝穗節節目之一;于95年,曾與本地作家小西及朗天合作,創作“給阿米巴節信”——一個結合舞臺,音樂及動作之劇場;在97年,曾與另一本地音樂人潘德恕合作,舉行多媒體音樂舞蹈劇場“極樂世界一九九七”,並邀請日本編舞者松島誠進行創作,曾亦於此演出中同時以樂手及演員身份出現,於年末,其音樂部份亦以CD形式公開發行。98年初曾再度參與藝穗節,並進行其第二個個人音樂創作劇“卵石屋之歌”,並請來本地錄影人盧燕珊負責視像及服裝設計;由’00年至’02年間,曾亦3度被澳門石頭公社邀請,參與當地之街頭文化活動。除了音樂創作之外,曾亦同時活躍於本地之視藝工作包括公開其畫作及參與不同大小的展覽,曾並為本港不同之刊物及雜誌作插圖;于96年,曾編繪及出版其創作故事集“12 Tales in 11 Monochromes”,並得到香港藝術發展局資助。曾現職平面設計師。

Wilson first learned music in his early childhood from his mother. Influence started from early 80's pop sound including rock, electronic and Jazz. Later by chance he was exposed to the more alternative world of music including John Zorn, Tom Waits as well as the disbanded local group The Box, that opened up his ear to a greater music language. For the last 10 years he had been more inclined in exploring sound for media such as theatres and video art until early 2003, with the help of a friend, he released his first solo CD "Stuck in Traffic" and since then he became more focused on making songs and music that he could "play on stage". The 2nd album "Little Cold Red", released with Harbour Records, was a more in-depth collection of such effort. Recently he start shifting his focus back to theatre music to discover the possiblities and roles of music, particularly as a minimalistic expession as well as story-teller.

听游记广州

关于我们的城市,我们所认知的,都只是视觉的表像。

我们的地图,教我们用眼去分辨方向,我们的照片、绘像,亦只是视觉的叙述。

我们只惯于描述,以肉眼所见,思考,以视觉的模式。

城市的声音呢? 它在向我们诉说着甚么? 我们从没有认真的关注过。

因为我们只懂看,却不懂聆听。去聆听我们的城市,我们有理由相信,这是通往城市本质的大门。

在这个大前题底下,我们以声音作为切入点,深入广州市的一角,以聆听方法探索,城市的核心本质。她的灵魂,我们相信,在她的声音里面。

向外的探索,源声音的路线,最终发现,前面指向着的,是一个形体化的潜意识世界。犹如一门城市心理分析。

在天河计算机城的新建商厦群中间,我们游走于破旧不见天日的石牌村。聆听着,这样的一件硕大的活化石在呼吸,在蠕动。城中村,人们如是形容。

在东山河浦区,我们穿梭于小街曲巷,在外表宁静和谐的氛围中,听着,一种精神分裂式的复合境况。从前富裕人家的别院遗址、残存的贫民居所、贵族幼儿学府与外省劳工的档子,还有历史文化遗址及经改建而成的艺术空间,全肩碰肩地,近乎不真实地,或并列并排,或咫尺对望。有一种声音,欲言还休,想嘶裂,但哑口无言。

我们如声音拾荒者,将所听所闻,消化、重整,尝试以车子引路,去超越视觉之表像,以声音的角度。你听到的,将不仅是你所见。声音,比表像深,因为它指向着城的本质,比如灵魂。

听游记(Moving Soundscape)

交通工具已经变成我们和世界沟通的一种必需。我们的身体不断移动,从这里到那里;城市也在移动、变形,从过去到未来。虽然不是每个人都拥有汽车,但是每个人都通过它,来实现移动,来穿行,并体会到城市的形体、形体之下的秘密。熟视无睹的声音,每天充斥在熟视无睹的城市中,我们和我们的耳朵一起,穿过道路,穿过时间,体验到了想要体验到的那些东西,也和更多的擦肩而过。最熟悉的风景,也是最陌生和新鲜的风景。听游记是一组利用行驶的汽车来创作的声音艺术作品。或者说,听游记是一组利用城市来创作的声音艺术作品。这个想法也许要追溯到1960年代的达达追随者和激浪派艺术家,甚至更早,到1913年,路易吉·卢索诺(Luigi Russolo)的《噪音的艺术》(The Art of Noise);但也许只是我们对周遭环境的一种本能反应。探索我们身处其中的城市、以新的角度加入它、和它对话、和它共谋;或者,探索我们的身体,在运动中,在封闭的小空间里检视它,让它体验。这都是可能的。而当我们宣称一切皆有可能的时候,可能性已经淹没在太多的可能性之中,它自己也要去探索、唤醒、体验,重新聆听。听游记是一场出游,只要你带着耳朵,上车。你将听到汽车的哼唱(发动机和车体振动)、城市的呼吸(无所不在的环境噪音),然后是艺术家的选择和创造,他们可能会从城市的角落收集声音碎片,可能把纷乱的街景当成诗歌来朗诵,可能用新技术延伸感官和想象,也可能只是制造噪音——在充满噪音的生活中,还有什么比重新品尝噪音更有趣的?在四个城市的大声展开幕当天,艺术家还会坐进汽车,和观众一起体验,或者说,一起创作。所有的观众,都需要提前报名;有的观众,会从准备阶段就加入创作;这些作品也不限于汽车,相关的网络、出版、延续活动,会和声音一样来来去去,相互关联。这场出游早已开始,在某个不经意聆听无用之物的瞬间,在远处的铃声、音乐声勾起想象的瞬间,在风吹着车窗、让人出神的瞬间,我们已经开始享受风景。(颜峻)

Seripop - Poster Art Extraordinaire [DIY or DIE!]

Venue: Ka-Pok
G/F, 9 Dragon Road
Tin Hau, Hong Kong
Date: Jan 29 – Feb 8, 2007
Opening: Feb 3, 2007, 7:00 PM
w/Performance by Runar Magnusson (Iceland) & DJ elle est chiNOISE

Curated by White Noise Records & LOUDSPKR

Description:

" Screen-printing design duo Seripop (Montreal), makes show posters that abuse colour, disembowel type, and contort the mind. This exhibition features some of their many hand-printed posters and exclusive art prints that are representative of a technique and style unique the noise rock movement that emerged across North America.

Seripop's visual aesthetic has become an expression of a music culture and attitude that is not so prominent in Hong Kong. DIY ethics, independent culture, and punk lie at the crux of their work. Fittingly, the two are also a part of noise rock band Aids Wolf, and have toured their music and art extensively across US and Europe.

In June 2006, Seripop was invited to do the poster new experimental music festival in Hong Kong: Sand Fest that took place at Para/site Art Space in co-production with White Noise Records.

Continuing the link between art and music, White Noise Records will be inviting Runar Magnusson (Iceland) to perform. His experimental sounds share an attitude towards music that compliments the aesthetic and drive of Seripop.

A raucous DJ set by elle est chiNOISE who will be spinning anything from feedback to gangsta rap, will follow. "
