pangbianr improv meetings
旁边儿即兴聚会系列

By , 2013年 1月 5日

到了新年,旁边儿开始新演出系列。每周三在学校酒吧邀请朋友们玩儿各种乐器,各种风格,一起探索和改变北京的声音。规则很简单:没有预先排练的歌,和每个人都必须在不同的组合即兴至少一次。

Simple concept: we meet (almost) every Wednesday at School Bar, inviting friends playing every kind of instrument in every kind of style to explore & change the sound of Beijing. The rules are simple: no pre-rehearsed material, and everyone must play more than one set, in a different combination.

学校酒吧在五道营胡同45号院(看地图
School Bar is located @ #45 Wudaoying hutong (map here)

He’s joined by Lilium, a young firestarter in the Beijing electro scene who’s pushing his own take on minimal IDM and glitch. thruoutin rounds things out with a hardware synth running through Ableton Live, sort of averaging things out.

Last time, Justin played an iPad, but maybe this time he will bring the full-on Reactable hardware, which is pretty crazy looking.

Glass Bricks (Melbourne 墨尔本)
Chai Delin x Mu Jianhua

Back from the brink. This improv night features Melbourne transplant Glass Bricks, a media artist in town on a residency. Since being here he’s plugged fully into the Beijing underground experimental/weirdo noisemaker scene, become a part of it. This is the last of a slew of shows he’s been playin’ here and there. He’s joined by Chai Delin and Mu Jianua, the husband and wife duo sometimes known as Alpine Decline. Tonight though, they’re cutting out the guitar and drums, just jacking their keyboards straight into the patented Chai Delin eternal tape/space echo system.

今天有一个来自澳大利亚墨尔本的表演者: Glass Bricks个人是一个媒体艺术家,到北京发现本地的实验音乐圈有意思,确定多做一些氛围采样/声音艺术演出。

这次跟他一起是柴德林和牟建华,夫妇队。他们有另外一个乐队叫Alpine Decline。 但是最近牟建华打不了鼓,没出来的小朋友不太喜欢。所以他们这次就玩儿键盘,当然也会用柴德林无所不在的天空回声器。

6/5
Pharadon Phonamnuai (Thailand 泰国)
Wang Ziheng 王子衡
Stephen Roach

Free improv/avant-garde jazz saxophonist Pharadon Phonamnuai from Chiang Mai joins this improv meeting. He’s played in various ensembles in Thailand, Japan, and Nepal, focusing on more esoteric, less structured modes of jazz performance. Tonight he’s joined by two other sax players (who won’t be playing sax): Wang Ziheng and Stephen Roach. Ziheng may or may not bust out his reed for this one. Lately he’s been doing more ambient guitar drones and off-kilter electronic noise sets. Stephen has more or less hung up his baritone sax for the last few years, focusing more on free improv percussion and heavy drumming.

这次是来自泰国清迈的自由即兴/先锋爵士萨克斯管手Pharadon Phonamnuai北京第二站演出。他在泰国和日本跟各种实验,即兴,和先锋组织合作了。 今晚来旁边儿即兴聚会,跟这边最厉害即兴乐手之一合作。来自天津的王子衡来参加。他也吹萨克斯管,而且弹吉他,玩儿效果器噪音,等等。来自美国的Stephen Roach也是本来吹男中音萨克斯,但是这几年他就瞩目演即兴打击乐器。

可能还有一个朋友参加,都不一定。

Stre4m info:

“Formed by Conor O’Hanlon, Patrick Gordon and Scott McCulloch, STRE4M are an experimental performance group from Melbourne, Australia. Each performance transgresses genre and form, composed or improvised according to the space, blurring the line between experimental music and performance art. Since March 2012, the outfit have been performing prolifically in both notable gig venues and disused spaces around Melbourne. Performances have taken place at the likes of The Empress, John Curtin Bandroom, Bar Open, Reverence Hotel, Kent St, Gasometer Hotel; as well as pop-up shows in Footscray laundrettes, abandoned shopfronts, in the emergency stairwell to Kmart, car-parks, and other spaces. STRE4M have collaborated with international musicians, the homeless at the 101 drop-in centre in St Kilda and children with disabilities at Ascot Vale Special School. STRE4M have also composed experimental film, and were commissioned to create in-situ sound installations for Brunswick Railway Station by Metlink and artist Tobias Hengeveld. In January 2013, STRE4M contributed to the multimedia project ‘Phantoscopia’ as part of the Sugar Mountain Festival at The Forum Theatre.”
