About Sin:Ned
http://www.re-records.com/
Sin:Ned, aka Dennis Wong / Wong Chung-fai, is an improviser, experimentalist and noise practitioner from Hong Kong. He regards himself as a sonic medium and his works, only manifestation of sound that already exists but unheard. His practice on noise and sound signifies a strong sense of sonic mysticism in search of direct and pure physical sound experience through chaos, errors and the extremes. As an instrumentalist, he struggles to defy all existing rational and orthodox structures by pursuing a “meaningless, aimless and purpose-less” sonic existence. His choice of instrument and materials ranges widely from Chapman Stick, guitars, laptop, hardware synths, circuit bent instruments, field recordings to various unusual non-musical objects and devices. He is the co-founder of Re-Records (www.re-records.com) and advisor of soundpocket (www.soundpocket.org.hk); also founding member of experimental outfits No One Pulse, After Doom and adeo. He is currently running the live performance series NOISE to SIGNAL for improvised noise and experimental music

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 in Hong Kong and China. As a sound improviser, he has offered performance and creative work for concert, sound installation, workshop, audio-visual and theatrical performance such as Get It Louder (2007), Hong Kong & Shenzhen Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture (2007, 2009), Architecture is Art Festival (2009), Notch Festival 2009 Guangzhou Station (2009),
Against 2012: Fukuoka Extreme Music Festival (2012), New Vision Arts Festival (2012), Miji Festival (2013), Kill The Silence Festival (2013), Freespace Festival (2013)…etc.

He has collaborated with artists such as Zbigniew Karkowski, Otomo Yoshihide, Kazuhisa Uchihashi, Alfred 23 Harth, Yan Jun, Torturing Nurse, dj sniff, and Dickson Dee…etc. His works have been featured in the infamous Belgium imprint
Sub Rosa’s “An Anthology of Chinese Electronic Music” and “An Anthology of Noise & Electronic Music Vol. 7”.

About Organs Without Body
http://www.re-records.com/discography/re-cd-012/
Organs Without Body is the lastest full length album featuring four solo improvisations recorded in Tokyo, Hong Kong and Macau on Chapman Stick, from one of the most enigmatic noise practitioners in Hong Kong. With huge amount of feedback, distortion, and extreme physical manipulation, Sin:Ned is pushing the Chapman Stick far beyond it’s original sonic existence, into a realm of pure energy, frequency and vibration. Brutal blend of physical doom metal on acid for extreme noise droners.

About Philippe Petit:
http://www.bip-hop.com/
Philippe Petit regards himself as a "musical travel agent" instead of a composer.

Since the early 2000s he have been performing the world, playing festivals all over Europe, Canada, USA, Mexico, Australia & Asia...etc. His works have been released by several international labels such as Aagoo, Southern UK, Monotype, Alrealon Musique, Beta Lactam Ring, Sub Rosa, HomeNormal, Important, HelloSquare, Public Eyesore, Utech, Staubgold, etc.

To compose music, he uses various instruments or devices, though most notably an Electric Psalterion + Hackbrett Cymbalum + Caterpillar Drum Guitars built by Yuri Landman + turntables as well as a computer and synths to build up electronic layers, process acoustic and field recordings. On top of these, he also make use of various non-musical materials and objects such as glasses, pieces of wood, stones, or percussive objects, as well as taking advantage of vinyl material to fondle released sounds.

Dealing with Electroacoustics, he relies on electricity/amplification to produce, manipulate, work on sound-material, but trying his best to explore various genres and make sure that each of my albums differs from the previous one, trying to avoid routine to surprise the listeners.

As journalist for various magazines/radios since 1983, as well as a musical activist, he has celebrated 30 years of activism, sharing musical passions...

He is also the man behind the cult labels Pandemonium Rdz. and BiP_HOp.

オリジナリティ性の高い気鋭な実験音楽を創造する香港のアーティスト「Sin:Ned」ことデニス・ウォンが来日し、WISH LESSにてパフォーマンスを行います。

デニスの創り出す音楽。

それは、即興演奏を主体としながら、偶然生まれた思いがけないあらゆるサウンドを自らの音として取り込み、”反芻”、”体現”します。もしくは極限状態での”カオス”、あるいは”エラー”の中からの”音”の探求と実践=つまり”ソニック・ミスティシズム”の提唱者として音楽を伝えていくのです。

デニスは香港を拠点に実験的エレクトロ音楽を輩出するレーベル Re-Records の創設者であり、かつては香港の伝説的な音楽雑誌 MCB(Music Colony Bi-Weekly)のライターとして多くのアーティストや音楽ファンに対し情報を発信し多くのフォロワーを輩出してきました。様々な分野でオーガナイザー/ライター/キュレーターとして活躍し、今や香港を始め中国のアンダーグラウンド音楽シーンをも席巻する重要な人物です。

この度、デニスが東京の “アンダーグラウンド” 田端にあるギャラリー WISH LESS にて彼自身の Re-Records より先頃リリースされたばかりの「ORGANS WITHOUT BODY」を中心とした楽曲にて、一夜限りのライブパフォーマンスを行います。会場がアートギャラリーということで、今回はミニマムかつクールなサウンドで Sin:Ned の新たな一面をご覧いただけます。急成長もしくは急変遷をいまなお続けるかつての”ポストコロニアル香港”からの、”カオティック”かつ”ソニック・ミスティックサウンド” をお楽しみください。

ABOUT THE PERFORMERS

Matija Schellander (Austria)
http://matija.klingt.org/
Matija Schellander is an Austrian composer and improvising musician

currently based in Vienna, mostly using double bass, modular synthesizer, and speakers: processing input, moving air output.

In 2012 his solo CD "sum šum" with 7 electroacoustic composition will be released by the small publishing office The Manual (Seoul).

Schellanders current double bass solo project is a three-part performance that incorporates space, movement, light and sound. Conceptual on one hand, it never dismisses the non-rational, sensual communicational possibility intrinsic in music.

Schellander regularly works with Rdeča Raketa (electracoustic duo with Maja Osojnik) and in duos with Enrico Malatesta (percussion / double bass) and Franz Hautzinger (quartertone trumpet / modular synthesizer) as well as thethe ensemble Low Frequency Orchestra (Castello/Grill/Osojnik/Schellander).Other collaborations include Okkyung Lee, Burkhard Stangl, Anja Utler, Isabelle Duthoit, Michael Thieke, Hannes Lingens, Klaus Filip, Choi Joonyong, Metalycée, Andrea Neumann, Katharina Klement, Chris Heenan, Olaf Hochherz, Lukas König, Daniel Riegler, Dieb13, Kazuhisa Uchihashi, Ryu Hankil, Christof Kurzmann, Jin Sangtae, Jorge Sanchez-Chiong, Noid, Bernhard Lang...

noid /aka Arnold Haberl *1970, living in Vienna.

He studied cello and mathematics in Vienna, he is teaching at the Multimedia-Art department of the University for Applied Science in Salzburg.

The composer, sound-artist, cello player and improvisor understands his work as fundamental research leading to a wide range of contradictory outcome. Spanning from cello-solo and tape-pieces to compositions for ensembles, improvisation scores or performances with electronic or hybrid instruments, from sound-installations to videos and imaginary music. Also his contributions as a programmer for the freeware "ppooll" (http://ppooll.klingt.org/) can be seen in this context.

This approach lead him to collaborations with visual artists as for instance Alexander Schellow, Heike Kaltenbrunner, Erik Hable or God's Entertainment, several choreographers like João Fiadeiro, Colette Sadler, Akemi Takeya, Philipp Gehmacher, and of course other musicians.

Beside his two long term ensembles "ease" (w/ Klaus Filip) and "b:f:n" (w/ Cordula Boesze und Wolfgang Fuchs) he was performing as an improvisor in various constellations, among others with: Taku Unami, Axel Doerner, Christian Weber, dieb13, o.blaat, Billy Roisz, Carl Stone, Kazuhisa Uchihashi, Burhard Stangl, Hankil Ryu, etc...

He is part of the organizing team of the annual interdisciplinary festival "reheat" (http://reheat.klingt.org/) and the monthly performance series "Der Blöde Dritte Mittwoch" (http://bloedermittwoch.klingt.org/) in Vienna. Since 2009 he is curating the sound-art exhibition in the frame of the festival "Konfrontationen Nickelsdorf". (http://konfrontationen.at/)
