About the performers

High Wolf (France)
highwolf.bandcamp.com
France’s High Wolf possesses a natural-born ability to zero in on the tones most conducive to inducing transcendental states. Prolific without wearing out his welcome, this guitarist and manipulator of effects boxes looses fervid streams of fever-dreamy drones that suffuse any room they enter with mystery. High Wolf’s tracks carry the uncanny sense of sounding as if they’ve been sluicing since the beginning of time, and that he had the graciousness to siphon them for teasingly brief absorption before they shimmer off to the vanishing point. midheaven.com

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Purple Pilgrims (New Zealand)
purplepilgrims.blogspot.hk
Purple Pilgrims are two NZ/now Hong Kong based sisters, Clementine and Valentine Nixon and the sonics are out of this world, with distant, barely audible female vocals over heavenly smears of super-degraded guitar amp hiss and the feel off muzzy choral music with undersea fidelity and an inchoate devotional aspect that is spectacularly affecting. (...) Spectacularly beautiful, with an expressive use of fidelity that goes well beyond the long blank and into radical new zones of suggestive lo-grade/high-mass psych. volcanictongue.com

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Composers Union of New Tunes + Sin:Ned (Hong Kong)
sin-ned.blogspot.hk
Composers Union of New Tunes is a lethal free Improvisational duo from Hong Kong formed by Kevin Pan (guitars, vocals) and Callum MacKenzie (sax). Kevin used to play in bands like Heta Uma and Charisma. Callum is currently playing in a wide variety of different jazz groups in Hong Kong.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Caligine (Italy)
www.monstresparexces.com
Caligine is the Italian word for haze, smog, mist. It all started five years ago as a move away from moving away. Smokey and hazy acoustic textures beneath a grain of noisy dust. A process carried on year by year, worshipping the grain of wood. Rejecting the form, accepting the embrace. A collective endeavor without belonging. If art is stealing from the most obscure sources, we’re looking for pure craftsmanship: psychedelic ragas, strings cascading in chained loops, loose fingerpicking and all the pretty little bells.

NOISE TO SIGNAL 0.05: OLAF HOCHHERZ ~ ALOK ~ SIN:NED

 



The fifth installment of NOISE TO SIGNAL is a showcase for German sound artist Olaf Hochherz, with supporting guest Alok and Sin:Ned.

Olaf Hochherz is born 1981 in Wuppertal/Germany. He studied at Folkwang Hochschule Essen electronic composition and at Bauhaus University Weimar media-art/media-design. Parallel to the education in composition he started to improvise with self build electronic instruments. He is interested in unstable systems. His goal is not to control a technical aperture but to create an ...

associative field. The sounds have their own live. His playing tries to keep them alive. He is interested in the effect acoustic activity has, the relation between surrounding environment and instruments, between abstract sounds and associations, between electrical and other worlds.

SIN:NED (ELECTRONICS / HONG KONG)

http://​sin-ned.blogspot.com/
Also known as Wong Chung-fai, an idiosyncratic improviser, sonic junkie, live-visualist, micro-curator and free-lance writer from Hong Kong. Co-founder of the experimental imprint Re-Records and member of the electro-acoustic duo No One Pulse.
Being a veteran writer of the legendary Hong Kong alternative music magazine MCB (Music Colony Bi-Weekly), his writings had influenced a wide spectrum of experimental musicians and listeners. 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 non-standard electronic gears. With his on-going experimentation embracing improvisation, noise, errors, chaos and randomness, he has been re-visioning an unorthodox sound-making process expressed in extreme dichotomies, and driven by intuition and direct experience.
He had offered performance and creative work for concert, sound installation, workshop, audio-visual and theatrical performance. He had taken part and performed in events such as HK Sound and Vision Festival (2003), Get It Louder (2007), Hong Kong & Shenzhen Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture (2007, 2009), Architecture is Art Festival (2009), Notch Festival Guangzhou Station (2009), MILK+ (2010), and Whisper Music Festival (2010).

邱立信 Nelson Hiu
Nelson Hiu studied Ethnomusicology at the University of Hawaii, and moved to Hong Hong in 1985 where he took up dance music accompaniment as a profession.

His earliest playing experience was keeping time to the music of John Coltrane, Little Richard, and various “top 40” radio artist of the 50’s; beating on an old Danish cookie can with Chinese teak wood chopsticks. The next 50 years were devoted to playing with other musicians/artists also attracted to this ‘in gathering’ of human culture. Deeply attracted to the ‘groove’, Les is inspired and admires the great Love, Passion, and Devotion of Hong Kong folk and all who are working peace and unity!

about Artists:

Laurent Valdès:
Video-artist and performer from Geneva, Switzerland, Laurent Valdès first studied cinema. Due to people met on his way and artistic experimentations, he finally never worked in the film industry. After his bachelor, he got naturally involved in the art performance scene, designing video installation for stage performances (theater or dance), as well as stage design and light design. It made his own artistic work evolve in between the field of video art and performing art. He collaborated also with musicians from contemporary music to experimental music and also electronic music. Since 1998, year of it’s first visit to Hong Kong, he came back several times to film and photograph different aspects of the city. This made him a particular witness of the city transformation.

Wong Chung-fai 黄仲辉:
Wong Chung-fai aka Sin:Ned, an experimentalist musician and free-lance writer from Hong Kong. He’s also co-founder of the experimental sound blog Re-Records.com, member of the electro-acoustic duo No One Pulse, and a veteran writer of the legendary Hong Kong alternative music magazine MCB (Music Colony Bi-Weekly). His writings have influenced a wide spectrum of experimental musicians and listeners in Hong Kong and China. He spends much of his time sculpting sonic materials with his laptop and various non-standard electronic gears. With his embracement of improvisation, noise, errors, chaos and randomness, he re-envisions an unorthodox sound-making process driven by intuition, bodily expression and direct experience.

He has provided creative work for concerts, sound installations, workshops, audio-visual and theatrical performances. He has performed in various events in HK and mainland China, such as Hong Kong & Shenzhen Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture (2007, 2009) and Notch Festival 2009 Guangzhou Station (2009). He has collaborated and performed with local and international artists.
