巴西音樂人介紹：

AVA ROCHA

Ava Rocha是一名來自的巴西歌手、詞曲作者和電影製片人。作爲巴西兩位著名電影製片人的女兒，電影藝術的天賦從小就流淌於這位里約出生的歌手血液中。作爲巴西“後熱帶運動“的領軍人物，AVA與她的丈夫同時也是音樂創作夥伴Negro Leo，一同致力於轉變巴西流行音樂的意義。爲了擴大這場文化運動的基礎，普及和現代化巴西流行音樂語言，Ava的音樂融合了世界音樂的元素，比如非洲和亞馬遜叢林中的節拍，混合搖滾樂、迷幻音樂和電吉他元素，不斷實現了音樂上的超越。她是純正前衛藝術的創造者，但不會將聽衆排除在外，而是將他們引入一個充滿全新可能性的的音樂海洋中。

Ava Rocha is a Brazilian singer, songwriter and filmmaker. Daughter of two powerhouse filmmakers in Brazil, cinema has been in the Rio-born singer’s blood since she was a child. A leading figure in Brazil’s post-Tropicalia movement, along with her husband, Negro Leo, whom she often creates music with, she’s been turning the meaning of Brazilian pop on its head. Expanding on the foundation of the movement – an aim at universalizing and modernizing the language of Brazilian pop music, incorporating elements from world youth music such as Afro and Amazonian grooves as well as rock, psychedelia and electric guitar - Ava Rocha goes above and beyond. Embedding elements of Asian, Middle Eastern, and Latin American music with high doses of experimentalism, all colliding and fusing together with rock n' roll, funk, soul and Bossa-Nova vibes, the result is something challenging, something to embrace and something wholly original. A true creator in avant-garde art that never excludes the listener but instead introduces them to a completely new ocean of possibilities.

Negro Leo 是里約熱內盧新興實驗音樂場景中的重要一員，在過去的五年中，他與廠牌Quintavant、俱樂部Audio Rebel密切合作。Leo充滿韻律且象徵意味強烈的歌詞，深厚的音樂才能，他的音樂如同巫術般富有魅力。在他的神奇配方中包含了funk與自由爵士、巴西六十年代“熱帶運動主義“、70年代無浪潮運動還有Arto Lindsay，似乎都能在其中找到身影."

——《紐約時報》

"Negro Leo is part of a new experimental-music scene in Rio de Janeiro, associated over the last five years with the label Quintavant and the club Audio Rebel. Animated, charismatic, kind of wizardly with his rhythmic shouting of dream-state symbolic lyrics and his rough musicianship, Negro Leo dares you to demystify his method. They contain funk and free jazz and noise; they’ve got something to do with the 1960s Tropicalismo movement in Brazil, something to do with Arto Lindsay and New York’s brief late-’70s No Wave movement."

——《New York Times》

中國參演音樂人：

MIRRORS 解離的真實

解離的真實（Mirrors）是阿鳴（吉他）大白（貝斯）Daniel（鼓）組成的三角能量體，通過自身的多重鏡面反射，遁入虛像與實像交錯的迷幻夢境。

Involved in Psychedelic.Post rock.Experimental Rock.Noise, Mirrors starts its sounds creating since 2016. Digging into exploring self-being and energy, the trio is like the triangle reflection. Three members give each other multiple reflection to get into the psychedelic dream made of virtuality and reality.

Absolute Purity 絕對純潔

絕對純潔，矛盾的混合着激烈極端、不顧一切和純真、傷感的氣息。2016年12月，原怪力樂隊主唱文雋找到吉他手湯庭、鼓手張雲、貝斯手大米，組成樂隊。帶着對音樂的不同理解開始進行。音樂中也有暴力也有純情也有日常也有癲狂，通過實驗、post-punk、迷幻、電子、旋律、等元素來傳達。

Bound in contrast and contradictions, Absolute Purity pairs fierce desperation against melancholy and innocence. The band was formed in December 2016 by singer Wen Jun (ex-Guai Li), guitarist Tang Ting, drummer Zhang Yun and bassist Dami, each bringing their own musical direction. Drawing on experimental, post-punk, electronic music and psychedelia, their sound spans the aggressive, melodic and pure, going between the everyday mundane and unhinged madness.

Dream Can 谷水車間

她們決不是徒有其表，谷水車間的音樂混雜着酸母寺的迷幻、椎名林檎的奇妙與多變以及Joy Division的些許灰暗。在舞臺上的她們以其不斷閃耀着的靈光吸引到了一衆擁躉，雖然僅成立不到四年，她們美妙而難以定性的音樂、天馬行空的才氣讓人們相信這支年輕樂隊的未來將不可限量。

Contemplative and melancholy, all-girl DREAM CAN pushes forward with purpose and innovation. The band plays tight, unusually for a band only together for about four years now. Psychedelic in the style of Acid Mother Temple, original and complex like Ringo Shina, and with the darker tone of Joy division, their influences shine through in their music. Minimalistic and echoing, the bands' sound is tied together by the drums and powerful vocals, complementing the more dynamic guitar well. DREAM CAN's creativity and unique qualities of their music has gained them interest, and the band’s future holds great promise.

Ava Rocha和Negro Leo

將與北京最好的兩位吉他噪音大俠——

李劍鴻和草原音樂家巴彥達萊

共同帶來這場熱身秀

中國參演音樂人：

LI JIANHONG 李劍鴻

吉他半神李劍鴻，領銜中國最重要的前衛音樂/即興音樂十多年。他那沉重的吉他蜂鳴，神聖、令人畏懼的吉他即興總是令人驚奇，他將他的吉他變成一個永恆的聲音永動機，搖晃他的整個身體到層層噪音中，讓你狂喜地尖叫，如同他正在向吉他之神做一場捲曲盤繞帶着報復心的吉他獻祭。

Guitar demi-god Li Jianhong, whose drone-heavy, shredful, gut-wailing brand of guitar improv is always a wonder to behold, who’ll turn his guitar into a perpetual motion machine of sound, swaying his entire body to the layers of noise, making you scream out in delight as he gives a curling vengeful noise sacrifice to the guitar deities above.

BAYAN DALAI 巴彥達萊

巴彥達萊｜實驗音樂人、常居北京。組建走馬電臺（Horse Radio）及December3am，並擔任吉他手。巴彥達萊的音樂不需任何標籤與任何定義，只爲感受自己的感受，他們是實驗性的另類蒙古音樂，在保留情感真實性、流動性之餘也在聽覺上充滿了不可複製感。

Bayan Dalai is the frontman for Horse Radio and formerly for December3am, two bands who made quite a splash when they were active with their reliably high-energy performances. With a knack for adding in elements of krautrock, psychedelic music, and experimental tones into his Inner Mongolian gruff and desire to explore the outer edges of his ancestors music.

33EMYBW

製作人/視覺藝術家，現居上海。近年來活躍於上海勃興的電子音樂場景中。她擅長從現代跳舞音樂、民族音樂及豐富的視覺閱讀中汲取靈感，將多種混合的概念化元素提煉爲極具個人風格的低音律動和令人驚豔的實驗性聲音設計。2015年，33在上海電子廠牌SVBKVLT發佈了單曲《EMSYGYDL》，並正式開啓其個人藝術項目。2017年她在北京大福唱片發表首張個人專輯《Medusa》，專輯同名單曲隨即被評爲當年阿比鹿音樂獎最佳電子單曲。 同年，她作爲上海電子音樂的代表性人物參與英國iD雜誌的視頻拍攝。33EMYBW表演的足跡遍佈各地，包括德國Sinotronics festiva 、美國SXSW festival、瑞士China Drifting festival、柏林CTM音樂節（Turmoil，2018）等。除此之外，33還是國內著名實驗電子樂隊是鴨打鵝的核心成員，並曾參與上海多支重要獨立樂隊，包括33島、波激小絲(BooJii)、Muscle Snog等。2018年，她在上海的SVBKVLT廠牌發佈了全新專輯《Golem》, 併入選Bandcamp2018最佳電子樂專輯。

33EMYBW is a Shanghai-based artist with a penchant for peculiar, unsettling sounds. Many of their self-released tracks, such as “EMSYGYDL”, feature spurts of alien timbres, distorted vocal samples, and light, lilting rhythms. In 2017, 33EMYBW also shared a three-track release entitled MEDUSA. It opens with broken, club-oriented rhythms accompanied with peculiar vocal processing in “RANA”. The second track, “YAMA”, features driven, distorted percussion and experiments across the stereo field, whilst title track, “MEDUSA,” takes this fragmentation further, skipping nimbly across percussion and synth stabs. A dynamic artist working across various media, 33EMYBW has developed a distinct aesthetic rooted in a fascination with insects, aliens, and other creatures. 33EMYBW is a part of Shanghai-based band Duck Fight Goose, and also founded The Centaurs alongside GOOOOOSE. The Centaurs is a series of events in Shanghai promoting left-field electronic music as well as hosting workshops in music production, modular synthesis, and DIY software and hardware instruments.

GOOOOOSE

GOOOOOSE 是韓涵的個人音樂計劃，他的身份還包括實驗電子樂隊鴨打鵝主創，獨立廠牌 Miniless主理人，同時也是一位互動視覺和程序開發者。相比鴨打鵝的豐富層次與龐大敘事架構，GOOOOOSE的創作更加直接與自由。他的音樂融合了氛圍音樂、合成器音樂和部分智能舞曲(IDM)的節拍，經常呈現出一種不同風格衝突下的和諧感。自2012年至今，已在德國、瑞士、丹麥、芬蘭、 挪威、愛沙尼亞、法國、美國等地舉行過多場成功的演出，其中包括著名的柏林 Haus der Kulturen der Welt、巴黎 Cite De La Musique和奧斯丁SXSW音樂節。GOOOOOSE更像是韓涵的個人實驗室、遊樂場甚至自省空間。在他的音樂裏，數字程序與硬件合成器的邊界被打破，人與機器的聯繫得以重構；他用電子脈衝構築極簡節拍，以脫離年代參照系的氛圍段落描繪遙遠而浪漫的科幻空間。2017年,韓涵以GOOOOOSE 的名義參與了更多跨界合作計劃,其中包括與藝術家張鼎的作品“漩渦” 合作的特別演出(上海香格納畫廊)，爲藝術家Andrej Boleslavsky的VR作品製作音樂(CAC上海新時線媒體藝術中心),以及爲服裝設計師張達(沒邊 Boundless) 和王浩銘(WHM/ZUCZUG)的2018春季秀製作整場音樂。同年，於大福唱片發表了第一張全長專輯 《THEY》，獲得日本Music Magazine推薦。2018年1月，受邀參加柏林CTM音樂節, 並將在北京大福唱片、上海的SVBKVLT、倫敦/香港的NLS Records以及比利時的Ante-Rasa 發表數張新作品。2018年9月影像裝置作品“THEY 2.0” 在北京歌德學院(798)參加名爲“邊界 共振”的展覽。

GOOOOOSE is the side project of Han Han, front man of one of China’s most well-known experimental- rock/electronica band “Duck Fight Goose” and also owner of the experimental record label Miniless Recordings. His multi- instrumental approach of making music usually leads the audience into a place where ambient soundscape, heavily synthesized texture and syncopated rhythms find their harmony, yet still fighting with each other sometimes. Apart from making music, Han Han is also a visual artist and software developer. GOOOOOSE is more like a spiritual cave of Han Han, he currently lives in Shanghai. There are 5 Os. Since 2012, Han Han started to perform in various venues in Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Estonia, France and United States, including Haus der Kulturen der Welt and CTM festival in Berlin, Cite De La Musique in Paris and SXSW festival in Austin. As a music producer/composer/Audio-Visual artist, he also participated several art projects since 2017, such as a full audio-visual live performance for Zhang Ding’sworkVortex, composingmusicpiecesfor Andrey Boleslavsky’s VR works at CAC art center, Designer Zhang Da (Boundless), Wang Hao Min (Zuczug, WHM)’s 2018 spring fashion show(original music for full show). He also produced indie band Late Trouble’s first album. In the same year, he released debut full length album “They” and received positive reviews from several places including Japanese media “Music Magazine”. At the beginning of 2018, Han Han was invited to CTM festival in Berlin to perform. He will release several new EPs under D-force Beijing, NLS records from London/Hongkong and Ante-Rasa from Belgium. His artwork “THEY 2.0” was also exhibited in Goethe Institute in Beijing 798 from September 1st to October 14th in 2018.
