Sally Can’t Dance 撒丽不跳舞 2015
By Josh, 2015年 10月 31日
《 Click for English 》
第五届“撒丽不跳舞”先锋音乐节将于11月7、8两天，在北京的 School 酒吧举行，由 Josh Feola（旁边儿）和朱文博（Zoomin’ Night燥眠夜）组织策划。和往届不同，这一次我们的关注重心不再是某个音乐人或组合，不再是即兴，而是“作曲”。我们希望对作曲家有更多的关注，并由乐团来表演他们的作品。

卖卖 MAI MAI (Shanghai)

王旭 Wang Xu + Josh Feola
作品名称：《中继/延迟（I:o:I）》
两个鼓手，瓦解“信号”与“噪音”的边界。一边是鼓手一，演奏简单的军鼓节奏；一边是鼓手二，对节奏进行现场录音采样，改变它的结构，使之成为新的节奏并循环播放；然后是角色的互换，之前一轮的“噪音”成为下一轮的“信号”，鼓手二成为组建者，鼓手一对其进行消解。以此重复，直至最初原始信号的重生。
王旭： White+乐队鼓手，来自内蒙古，在北京从2006年开始做音乐。

徐程 Xu Cheng
作品名称：《初冬之晨》
“初冬之晨”为徐程2014年所作的声音作品。向声乐作品“冬之旅”的致敬。意象表现诗句中那一望无际的冬日旷野，避开这浮华尘世，望着朔风中的风信旗和冰封的河面，那个寂寞、孤独、对现实不满、追求渺茫理想王国又终不可得的苦闷灵魂。他离开熟悉的城市，一个人走在，听着风雪声和邮车的叮铃声。在飘忽的旅途中寻 找内心的安宁。
时长：30分钟
徐程： 1980年生于上海，声音艺术家。 1999年起进行各种声音创作至今，风格涉及具象声音、拼贴、原音电子、噪音、氛围、即兴音乐等。 2003年作品录入首张中国声音艺术家选辑《中国声音前线》。2005年在上海与噪音乐手JUNKY成立NOIShanghai团体以推广实验前卫音乐，已组织世界各地实验与噪音艺术家的演出超过50场。同年加入了世界重要harsh noise团体Torturing Nurse，成为主要成员并参与了超过100场演出及200张以上唱片的录制。 2010年加入上海自由即兴音乐社团“上海自由音乐联盟-Free Music Collective Of Shanghai”。 2011与声音艺术家大小（黄磊）组成工业A/V组合the Mustangs in Social Modulator。 2012年 视听表演作品“Scape-Sequencer”获Ars Electronica 奥地利电子艺术奖项之声音艺术組奖。

颜峻 Yan Jun
作品名称：《手势•2》
《手势•2》是为一位舞者和3位乐手而设计的作曲作品。它是2015年初的《手势•1》的延续。
在前作中，作曲者同时担任舞者和指挥的角色。
它由即兴音乐、电子音乐的现场表演发展而来。通常，即兴音乐和电子音乐的表演者以缺乏肢体动作著称，这和音乐本身的反技巧、低表现、陌生感有关。但这些微小的或者没有表现力的动作，也呈现出身体。正如微小的或者粗糙的声音也值得听。
如果有人觉得这些动作谈不上是舞蹈，或者这些声音谈不上是音乐，那也没有关系。或许这样更好。我们不只欣赏被定义为舞蹈或音乐的东西。
乐手：于吉 (body performer); 董星, 李英武, 阿炳 (music performers)
颜峻：乐手，诗人。生于兰州，住在北京。
从事即兴音乐和田野录音。有时去观众家演奏（“客厅巡演”，常年开放预约）。
是游击厂牌“撒把芥末”创办人。
也是 FEN、茶博士五重奏、即兴委员会成员。

闫玉龙 Yan Yulong
作品名称：《Jegog：为吉他而做的打击乐》
“Jegog”原指是一种印尼加美兰音乐及其乐团编制方式。
这里的“Jegog”，则是将六件吉他改制为单件构成拍频系统、合奏则组成平均五声音律体系的打击乐器组。可由乐手自行选择的表演素材，都处在同样的范围和规则之内。换而言之，作曲者进行拆解并进行陈列，表演者则进行重新构造：越单纯的状态下，可听到的也越多，即便是浑浊的声响，也应该不止如此。
演奏：White Ensemble
时长：20分钟
闫玉龙： 1989年生于哈尔滨，现居北京。新迷幻/实验摇滚乐队Chui Wan成员，年轻一代摇滚和实验、即兴乐手里的活跃分子，与各种不同风格的音乐家以及舞蹈工作者、剧场合作，作曲。个人演奏计划通常是电提琴或原声提琴的即兴，最初沾染于长音、极简、迷幻及声响，不限于此。
***
殷漪 Yin Yi
作品名称：《聚落》
《聚落》最初是在2006年为肢体剧场而写。当时由于条件有限，所有的声音都是使用数字音频领域中的虚拟乐器去实现。这次是第一次由真人来演奏。作为作曲家，相比较这个曲子听起来如何，我现在更加关注的是它看起来如何？演奏家们如何在这个表演场所内移动？演奏家如何编织声音织网？每一个音又是如何进入到演奏家们的呼吸系统中去？
时长：取决于场地空间
表演者：李铁桥（低音萨克斯），照骏园（单簧管），修迪（中音萨克斯），朱文博（低音单簧管），袁硕（圆号），Daniel Rothwell（长号），是雨然（长笛）
殷漪：1978年出生于上海。音乐家、艺术家、策划人。创作领域包括但不限于：声音、影像、装置、音乐。同时展开的艺术活动策划也是在另一个维度对其自身艺术实践的观察、理解和校对。殷漪现在上海工作生活。

张守望 Zhang Shouwang + Yan Yulong 闫玉龙
作品名称：《平/仄 》
这是一个在第四届“撒丽不跳舞”表演过其雏形的作品。
两位演奏者将不同的乐器和演奏方式输入至相同调制的效果器中，以将其差别置以相同节奏的统一。在四个不同位置的音箱中，则可以清晰地听到声音的流动，尤其是当音乐几乎处于静止状态之时。
在漫长的演奏中，他们则通过调节对方演奏结果中的某些方面，来增添更多的不确定性。
表演者：张守望、闫玉龙
张守望：Carsick Cars 乐队与 White+ 乐队的组建者，同时也有多变的个人音乐项目，以及以 WHITE 为名的种种变体计划。张守望的音乐元素涉及极简主义、迷幻乐、即兴、先锋音乐、电子乐等不同的边界，此外他也参与和不同领域艺术家的跨界合作。

照骏园 Jun-Y Ciao
作品名称：《两个半场：为小提琴和管乐所写》
这是一个分成两个部分的作品。它们之间有着相应的关系，但是并非是对立的。
它们展现的是不同的演化方式下产生的过程以及结果。它产生了类似如下的情况：
演奏者——材料1——方式1——变体1——演奏者——材料2——方式2——
变体2——演奏者，以此类推。
表演者：闫玉龙、盛洁、照骏园、朱文博
时长：60分钟
照骏园： 艺术家，同时从事音乐与声音的工作，艺术项目的策划等。 二重奏“没腿的马”的前半段，“上海自由音乐大乐团”的发起人和非核心成员。 艺术家团体“组织”成员。曾长期受邀于《艺术世界》担任特约编辑，创立“一吨半音乐”专栏。目前为《时代精神在哪里？》编辑部编辑。

The 5th Sally Can’t Dance avant-garde music festival will take place on Saturday and Sunday, November 7-8 at School Bar in Beijing. Like the 4th edition, which was held in Spring 2012 at the then-unnamed space that eventually became XP, this year’s Sally Can’t Dance Festival is co-organized by Zhu Wenbo (Zoomin’ Night) and Josh Feola (pangbianr).
Unlike in past years, the focus for this year’s Sally Can’t Dance festival is not on individual artists or bands, not on improvisation, but on composers, and ensembles playing according to their compositions.
Of course the concepts of “composition” and “composer” that we’re using are very loose. Each day will feature 6 original works, performed in different spaces within School Bar, composed by individuals at the bleeding edge of China’s experimental music vanguard.
date: Saturday & Sunday, November 7-8, 2015
time: 4-7pm (early session) + 9pm-midnight (late session)
place: School Bar (53 Wudaoying Hutong, near Andingmen subway stop)
entrance: 100rmb / day

卖卖 MAI MAI (Shanghai)
Title: “Counterpoint of Apartment”
“Counterpoint of Apartment” is a suite work about the apartment, which consists of twelve songs of different lengths. ” Counterpoint of Apartment” is not written to be played in an apartment; rather, it is about the mental and physical condition of people living in apartments.

performers: Chen Zongqi, Wang Huan, Daniel Rothwell
Martijn Tellinga (b. 1974, Netherlands): composer and performer of musical proposals and acoustical situations. His work centers on the intuitive bending of (music) systems and the use of sound to express ideas of space and process.

王旭 Wang Xu + Josh Feola
Title: “Re/delay (I:o:I)”
Two drummers disrupt the boundary between signal and noise. On one side, Drummer 1 plays a simple snare drum rhythm, live. On the other side, Drummer 2 records this rhythm, live samples it, transmutes its structure into a new rhythm, records and loops the output. They switch sides. The noise from Round 1 becomes the signal in Round 2: Drummer 2 now performs live this recomposition, while Drummer 1 further de/recomposes it. Repeat until the original signal is rescued from the noise.
Wang Xu: born in Inner Mongolia, started to play in Beijing bands from 2006. He’s currently the drummer of White+, where he experiments with the threshold between electronic and acoustic percussion.
Josh Feola is a Beijing-based writer and musician. He has been active in the Beijing music scene since 2009 via his organizational platform pangbianr and as manager of live music venues D-22 and XP. He was Music & Arts editor of SmartBeijing.com from 2013-2015, and continues to write about the Beijing culture beat on a freelance basis. Feola currently co-runs the curatorial netlabel Sinotronics, plays drums in Beijing bands Subs and Vagus Nerve, and performs/records solo under the name Charm.

徐程 Xu Cheng
Title: “Early Winter Dawn”
“Early Winter Dawn” is a piece that Xu Cheng composed in 2014 as an homage to Schubert’s Winterreise (“Winter Journey”). The imagery reflects the lyrical content of a never-ending winter wilderness; leaving behind the ostentation of mortal life, gazing off with the north wind towards the frozen river, that loneliness, solitude, dissatisfaction with the present; to stubbornly pursue an uncertain dream kingdom, ending in anguish at its unattainability. The traveler leaves the familiar city, setting off by himself, listening to the sounds of wind and snow accompanying the thin jingle of a mail car. In the midst of the swiftly moving journey, he’s seeking peace in his heart.
duration: 30 minutes
Xu Cheng (b. 1980): Since 1999, Cheng has worked with different styles of sound and music, including musique concrète, plunderphonics, electro-acoustic, harsh noise, ambient, and improvised music. In 2003, his works were selected in the first survey anthology of Chinese sound art, China: The Sonic Avant Garde. In 2005, together with JUNKY, he formed the NOIShanghai event series to promote experimental music. NOIShanghai has presented over 50 concerts to date by sound artists and noisers from around the world. That same year, Cheng joined the world-renowned noise group Torturing Nurse, which has presented over 100 performances and 200 releases. In 2010, Cheng joined the free improvisation group Free Music Collective of Shanghai. In 2011, together with sound artist Da Xiao (aka Huang Lei), Cheng formed A/V industrial group the Mustangs in Social Modulator. In 2012, Scape-Sequencer, an A/V work accompanying the live performance of Cheng, won the Award of Distinction in Prix Ars Electronica in Austria.

颜峻 Yan Jun
Title: “Gestures 2”
“Gestures 2” is composed for one dancer and three players. It’s developed from “Gestures 1”, which was presented in early 2015. In the previous version, the composer takes the role of dancer and conductor. It was originally inspired by the live performing of improvised music and electronic music. Normally, performers of these kinds of music are known to be short of body movement. This accompanies the anti-virtuosic, anti-expressive and strange attitudes of these kinds of music. But these tiny or non-expressional movements also present the bodies. As all tiny or rough sounds are worthy of being listened to. It’s fine if one thinks these movements are unmerited to be titled “dance”, or these sounds are unmerited to be titled “music”. Perhaps this makes it better as we enjoy not only the things defined as “dance” or “music”.
performers: Yu Ji (body performer); Dong Xing, Li Yingwu, A Bing (music performers)
Yan Jun: musician and poet. Born in Lanzhou in 1973. Based in Beijing.
His activities include improvised music, field recording and organizing. Sometimes performs at and with audience’s private space (Living Room Tour project, open for book).
He is a member of FEN, Tea Rockers Quintet, and Impro Committee. And founder of the guerrilla label Sub Jam.

闫玉龙 Yan Yulong
Title: “Jegog: Guitar and Percussion Ensemble”
“Jegog” refers to a performance style reflecting Indonesian gamelan and orchestral arrangements. “Jegog” is a composition for six guitars, broken down and reconstructed into a percussive matrix. The performers can choose their own performance materials and apply their own rules. In other words, the composer deconstructs and displays the contents, and the performers then reconstruct the piece. If it’s more simple and pure, you can hear more; even if it’s chaotic noise, it’s also much more than that.
duration：20 minutes
performers: White Ensemble
Yan Yulong (b. 1989, Harbin), lives in Beijing. Frontman of neo-psych band Chui Wan. An active leader among the younger of generation rock, experimental, and improv musicians in China. He works with a wide variety of different styles of music, butoh dance, documentary theater, and avant-garde composition. His solo projects include playing electric/acoustic violin improvisation. He was initially interested in playing drone, minimalist, and modern compositions… but he’s not limited to that now.

殷漪 Yin Yi
Title: “JuLuo”
“JuLuo” was composed for a physical theater work in 2006. At that time, all of the sounds Yin Yi used were from visual instruments with laptop. Now it will be the first time he has real instrument players to present it. Rather than how it sounds, now he will focus on how it looks, how the players move in the space，how the players weave the sound net, how every tone becomes a part of player’s breathing system.
Duration: Belongs to space
Performers：Li Tieqiao (baritone sax), Jun-Y Ciao (clarinet), Xiu Di (alto sax), Zhu Wenbo (bass clarinet), Yuan Shuo (french horn), Daniel Rothwell (trombone), Shi Yuran (flute)
Yin Yi (b. 1978) is a Shanghai-based artist, composer, and curator. Yin Yi’s artworks include sound, video, installation, and experimental music. He also organizes art events to observe, understand, and proofread his art practice.

张守望 Zhang Shouwang + Yan Yulong 闫玉龙
Title: “Píng Zè”
“Píng Zè” was first performed in an embryonic form at the 4th Sally Can’t Dance festival in 2012. Two performers insert an array of different instruments and performance styles into an identical set of electronic effect parameters, reconciling their different approaches in a set unity of rhythm. In four amps placed in different locations throughout the performance space, the audience can clearly hear the flow and circulation of the sound, especially when the musical content is almost completely static. Over the course of a long performance, each performer modulates the other’s effect parameters, adding an element of growing indeterminacy throughout the piece.
Performers: Zhang Shouwang, Yan Yulong
Zhang Shouwang: founder of Carsick Cars and White+, also performs a wide range of solo projects and permutations of the floating WHITE ensemble. Zhang Shouwang’s music fundamentally reflects a core focus on minimalism, psychedelic music, improvisation, avant-garde music, electronic music, and other styles without borders. In addition to music, he’s also participated in many trans-disciplinary, multi-media collaborations, blurring the boundaries between the music, art, and theater worlds.

照骏园 Jun-Y Ciao
Title: “Two Half Matches — Composition for violins and reeds”
“Two Half Matches” is a work in parts. There is a corresponding relationship between them, but they are not opposites. They show the process of evolution in different ways, and the results generated thereby. It produces a situation similar to the following:
player—material1—method1—variant1—player—material2—method2 —variant2 —player, and so on.
duration: 60 minutes
performers: Yan Yulong, Gogo-J, Jun-Y Ciao, Zhu Wenbo
