旁边儿出品:当代权威的北京地下音乐选本——underground B-sides第二弹新鲜出炉了!无论是潮湿闷热的排练室、low-fi的居家录音室、狂躁的跳水酒吧现场、以及委员会式临时即兴工作坊,”underground B-sides“几近涵盖了中国大陆地下音乐场景里最活跃、最具创造力的集体,我们携手每一位乐手和艺术家,在这里诚实地为您献上一份颗粒饱满,生猛躁动、独一无二的先锋快报。我们期待与您分享这些独特的聆听体验。(第一期在此)
今年的合辑不仅富含了许多刚刚崭露头角的新生力量,也包括北京近20个华丽噪音组合的成熟转身,更有几位老先锋们的新动向。
在过去的一年中,新乐队Mr .Ray和斯大林花园在一夜之间让人震惊:“以前很多人爱玩那种古怪的后朋克韵律,其实我们也可以弄,而且可以弄的更好,更年轻!”去年在D-22燥眠夜专场演出的学生阵营迸发出这样的声音,声音背后凝聚的力量在今年一月最后一次燥眠夜现场集团爆发,庆祝并纪念着D-22近六年的时光。时至今日,燥眠夜的年轻一代也获得了前领路人们的热切关注,“即兴委员会”系列演出和工作坊,便是由中国地下音乐界的终极教父颜峻组织,邀请各路先锋协同,每次都加进了一些年轻乐手来共同完成。
在过去的一年中,中国噪音摇滚的开拓者 Carsick Cars再次换血,加进了新的鼓手。他们也在同一时间溯源过去,创造新的起点——与老成员李青一起开始噪音即兴计划。李青与同为前任Carsick Cars 成员的李维斯也把他们的二人组苏维埃波普从听感上充斥的晦涩神秘美学逐步转化成了针对概念多维可能性的演练,对复杂的认识论系统的解读,使得他们的作品充斥着空前挑战性的同时,也更加深刻的能唤起听者的共鸣。
在过去的一年中,驻扎东北的山东人梅志勇开始做他的磁带厂牌 Fuzz Tape,借此来修炼自己在强电噪音暴动中的粗粝系数,并使其成长为目前最活跃的地下实验噪音磁带厂牌。Vavabond和即兴噪音吉他传奇人物李剑鸿搬到了北京,也开创了自己全新的厂牌计划和独一无二的网络平台——中国自由即兴组织,作为2pi厂牌的延续,一面力图记录中国自由即兴音乐的发展,一面向外延展着来自他们自身无限的超验迷幻意识。迷走神经这次为我们献上了未发行专辑中一首最完美的作品,精神融化般的盛宴——3600年的回归。

pangbianr presents: An authoritative sampling of Beijing’s contemporary musical underground… part two! “underground b-sides” plumbs mainland China’s practice rooms, bedroom studios, dive bars and ad hoc sound workshops to give you an uncompromisingly lo-fi, grainy snapshot of the constantly shifting avant-garde. (Check out Vol. I here.)
This year’s compilation documents fresh-born newcomers, the deepening maturity of the Beijing 20-something noise set, and new moves from the Old Guard. In the last year, new bands like Mr. Ray (Beijing) and Stalin Gardens (Shanghai) have sprung up to say, “I see that weird post-punk shit you’re doing and we can do it too, and better, and younger!” In the last year the college-age-ish crowd around D-22’s Zoomin’ Night came into their own, reaching a peak just in time for the last ever Zoomin’ Night in January, mourning & celebrating the end of D-22‘s near 6-year life. The Zoomin’ kids have caught the attention of their forerunners, prompting scene godfather Yan Jun to include some of the young bucks in his recent “improv committees.”
In the last year, noise rock torchbearers Carsick Cars reconfigured yet again, yet at the same time returned to form with unannounced improv sets and unscripted studio freakouts with old members and friends. Erstwhile Cars Li Qing and Li Weisi took their esoteric duo Soviet Pop to new levels of conceptual rigor, introducing complex epistemological systems that made their compositions both extremely challenging and deeply satisfying to witness.
In the last year, Dongbei’s MeiZhiYong started the label Fuzz Tape and honed his own repertoire of sporadic power electronics outbursts. Vavabond and improv guitar legend Li Jianhong settled in Beijing and also started a new label, China Free Improvisation, to peddle their own brand of transcendental psychedelic awareness in the capital. Their band Vagus Nerve contributes “A Recurrence of 3600 Years,” this mix’s mind-melting pièce de résistance.
