中國與波蘭聲音藝術的第三度交鋒



ChoP是一個由深圳電音藝術家ZenLu發起的跨國交流項目,每輯均邀請一位中國藝術家及一位波蘭藝術家合作。第一、二集的中國代表分別有ZenLu及華人實驗音樂先鋒Dickson Dee,而我則應邀參與第三集,與波蘭電子樂家Minoo作遙距合作。

Improvision的七首純音樂作品極富層次感,也特別強調即興性,調混著幻變的躁音及詭異的律韻。Minoo的演奏力及音樂感超強。Yin John及Wingse (還記得她倆在Anima的演出嗎?) 獻聲相助,再加上Alok幾能點石成金的Mastering,Improvision是一輯性格鮮烈的聲響交鋒演練。

Marc Behrens Bio
Born in Darmstadt, Germany, in 1970.Marc Behrens lives and works in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, since 1991, during 2003 also in Grimacco/UD, Italy. He studied Communication and Product Design and has always been present in more than one artistic area at the time.

After beginning his musical studies in experimental jazz and rock groups in the late 1980s and pursuing a series of music releases, acoustic feedback recordings, and multimedia works throughout the 1990s, today Behrens is perhaps best classed as a sound artist, working across performance, installation, and recorded media (audio and video). He also creates photographic works and CD sleeve design.

Behrens has performed and exhibited extensively across Europe, the Middle East, North America, and East Asia. Collaborations with Achim Wollscheid, Bernhard Gunter, Francisco Lopez, Jeremy Bernstein, Nikolaus Heyduck, Paulo Raposo, among others.

He is a member of the Frankfurt Association for Contemporary Music (FGNM), the German Association for Electroacoustic Music (DEGEM), subscriber to the Electronic Music Foundation (EMF), and a citizen of The Kingdoms of Elgaland~Vargaland. 2003–2007 he was co-director of the Portuguese label Sirr.

《房間》與聲境

《房間》與聲境是李智良新書《房間》的一個跨媒界的藝術項目...

關乎城市的病態,更關乎承載此種病態的「城市病體」。

「城市」無孔不入,連一個人在自己的房間中最私密的時光、最幽微婉轉的情意,亦必得劃進條件與法理的管轄,因為看守自己的人正是囚犯自己。如是,城市中、房間中,我們聽見甚麼?聽不見甚麼?

以《房間》為題,幾位獨立音樂人與聲音藝術家(包括麥海珊、Sin:Ned、Ahshun、 Beatrix Pang、Yammie Chan及Wesley Tang 等)將在城市各處場景收錄、採集環境音效,進行創作與挪移,藉聲音穿透,作跨藝術形式的回應。

No One Pulse - LINGK



LINGK is the first full-length release of the experimental concept duo No One Pulse from Hong Kong.

Consisted of both studio and live performance recordings, LINGK is a collection of works of the duo's micro sound experiment and free-form "electronics" improvisation.

If all things are made up of sound;

If all sounds have a life of its own;

Instrumentalists and their instruments are equal.

It is not one playing the other in the relationship of user and tool.

It is the resonance of sound between two bodies: the instrumentalist and the instrument.

It is an approach of seeing things and ourselves in the perspective of sound.

Re-defining things and re-interpretation of the world in terms of sound.

All instruments and devices, be they musical or non-musical instrument, are being turned into "sound making" device by tapping into their internal process. The whole sound making process becomes an improvised dance between two sonic resonance entities.

The result is a new kind of "electronics" music that embraces randomness, chaotic structure, improvisation and microsound methodology.

TRACKLISTING:
1. Room 337 (The Towel)
2. Kapok
3. Room 337 (The Mattress)

「城市/病態/書寫」講談 + 《房間》與聲境作品發佈



講者:李智良、張歷君

主持:鄧肇恒

日期:2008 年8 月24 日(星期日)

時間:下午3:00 -5:30

地點:Kubrick 油麻地店 (油麻地眾坊街3 號駿發花園h2 地舖)

主辦:Kubrick 、 廿九几

患病的是城市人,還是這個城市。

書寫如果不是治療,你我又為何樂此不疲。痊癒,可能嗎?李智良、張歷君將於講座中討論城市、病態與書寫三者之間千絲萬縷的關係。

李智良的新著《房間》採取了一名「精神病患」的視角,書寫「城市」作為一種人類羣聚的方式,於病壞的身體上種種不流血的暴力。

王墨林說「我們不能不凝視著他的病變與我們之間一種模糊而且曖昧的關係……」。當我們常以「痴線」、「瘋狂」、「癲喪」來形容城中的人與事,關乎「精神病患」的社會位置,其政治、欲望或壓抑,可能說穿了,不過是你我的日常經驗。

從《房間》開始,李智良、張歷君將於講談會上討論作為病者/作為書寫者/作為一個「整全與複合的經驗主體」,三者的張力和辯證關係。聽證城市的軍事化、高度理性化,施於我們身上的暴力,並且,令「連續的時間」崩離瓦解。

城市的「病體」在那裡?它就是面目模糊的「病人」嗎?抑或是,城市本身(一種高度調控的人類活動組織方式)已經是一具「病體」。「災難」與「精神創傷」跟日常生活的關係是甚麼?「語言」可會是「災難」與「精神創傷」的載體?

──李智良說,我們最終必然回到的問題是:痊癒可能嗎?甚麼是痊癒?甚麼是痊癒的條件。

同場發佈:《房間》的聲境

關乎城市的病態,更關乎承載此種病態的「城市病體」。「城市」無孔不入,連一個人在自己的房間中最私密的時光、最幽微婉轉的情意,亦必得劃進條件與法理的管轄,因為看守自己的人正是囚犯自己。如是,城市中、房間中,我們聽見甚麼?聽不見甚麼?

以《房間》為題,幾位獨立音樂人與聲音藝術家(包括麥海珊、Sin:Ned、Ahshun、 Beatrix Pang、Yammie Chan及Wesley Tang 等)將在城市各處場景收錄、採集環境音效,進行創作與挪移,藉聲音穿透,作跨藝術形式的回應。部份作品將於是次講座首次發表。

關於聲音的人和事

三篇文章,兩篇在香港「號外」六月號,一篇在內地的「當代藝術與投資」雜誌。都是關於聲音的人和事。

「號外」的兩篇,分別關於Alan Chan及Anson Mak。屬於雜誌專題「原音」的一部份。

「當代藝術與投資」的一篇,關於香港實驗樂圈的點滴,也是專題的一部份。PDF版本可在Mini Midi的官方網頁下載 (得雜誌授權):

鬼餓施舟



剛於Lona Records名下發表的Ghost Feeding Vessel,是我與腦科 (Nerve) 去年孟蘭前夕於Para/Site的一次現場演出錄音。我自已是蠻喜歡這次演出。雖然這是第一次與腦科合作,但效果異常合拍。腦科那追求非直線、高隨機性及強調即興元素的演奏理念,與我不謀而合。再者,腦科一直是我極欣賞的香港實驗音樂家,能夠與他合作,實在是自已的榮幸。

在是次演出,我只用了一個無音源的Mini Kaoss Pad作主奏工具,電腦反而只作輔助,將No-Input Device的概念,及在No One Pulse與阿巢 (KWC) 所發展出的即興手法,進一步融匯貫通。那Free-Form的演奏模式及氣息原始的東方宗教色彩,再加上我一貫喜愛的長篇舖排,效果甚得我心。

一直覺得,香港極需多一點開放交流,小一點劃地自限。因此,也很喜歡我們在《異靈對話》及《異靈祭典》所促成的跨界合作。

當然,阿巢的封面設計也是一貫的精妙。
