Upcoming: 7.21 ALL | Wonton Bureau – Heat Stroke

Summer brings out the crazy in people; some days it feels like if the temperature rises one more degree everyone will snap. 

夏天引出了人类疯狂的一面;有些日子,感觉如果温度再上升一度,每个人都会崩溃。 

In animals, overheating causes some neurons to become more excitable, which might underlie the psychiatric effects. In humans, overheating can lead to confusion and irritability to hallucinations, barbaric behavior, and delirium. 

在动物身上,过热会导致一些神经元变得更加兴奋,这可能是精神病的基础。在人类身上,过热会导致混乱和烦躁,以至于出现幻觉、野蛮的行为和谵妄。

Loooongish Cat

Looooooongish Cat是一只机器人猫(有点长),最初是一个邪恶的科学家为了毁灭人类而建造的。然而,在这条线上的某个地方,Looooooongish Cat变得有了自我意识,并决定在Ableton现场制作电子音乐节拍,并收集科学家收集的各种盒式磁带。在拍摄了三周后,这只猫觉得做所有的混音和现场布景太重要了,错过了宝贵的睡眠时间,所以它就用英国出生的艺术家Dann Gaymer(《鬼鬼祟祟》、《Nekroma》、《The Slow Blade》、《Shining Dimensions》)来做所有的工作。有时loooooongish Cat也会出现在演出中,但它主要只是看着Dann试图阻止磁带播放机吃一些手工配音的黑旗汇编。

Looooooongish Cat的声音是基于电子音乐和家庭音乐,同时融合了配音、灵魂乐、嘻哈、蓝调和环境音乐。Looooooongish Cat live sets的一个关键功能是混合磁带,Gameboy声音,和Buddha机器在Ableton live的进化节拍,丢弃片段在制作或扭曲,弯曲,循环这些发现的声音转换成空灵的超凡脱世的音调,以追求快乐的声音事故。每一场演出的卡带库都是经过精心策划的,这些卡带来自十多年来在亚洲、欧洲、大洋洲的巡演,以及中国卡带厂牌87fei87、Nasty Wizard Recordings、Nugget Records、Field Ring Recordings、Daftpop Sounds等发行的唱片。两套从不相同,混合模拟遗迹和罕见的地下声音录音来自全球各地的原始制作;喵星人既顽皮又深沉。

Looooooongish Cat is an android feline (that is sort of long) originally built by an evil scientist to destroy the human race. However, somewhere along the line Looooooongish Cat became self aware and decided it preferred making techno beats in Ableton Live and sampling the scientist’s eclectic collection of cassette tapes over the top. After about three weeks of this Looooooongish Cat felt it was too important be doing all the mixing and live sets and was missing out on valuable sleeping time, so it blackmailed British born artist Dann Gaymer (Guiguisuisui, Nekroma, The Slow Blade, Shining Dimensions) into doing all the work. Sometimes Looooooongish Cat turns up to gigs, but it mostly just watches Dann try to stop the tape players from eating some hand dubbed Black Flag compilations. 

The Looooooongish Cat sound has its foundation in techno and house whilst integrating dub, soul, hip hop, blues, and ambient sounds. A key feature of Looooooongish Cat live sets is mixing cassette tapes, Gameboy sounds, and Buddha machines over evolving beats in Ableton Live, dropping snippets over the productions or else warping, bending, and looping these found sounds to transform them into ethereal otherworldly tones in pursuit of happy sonic accidents. The cassette arsenal brought to each show is carefully curated from a collection amassed from a decade of tours across Asia, Europe, Oceania, along with releases from China based cassette labels 87fei87, Nasty Wizard Recordings, Nugget Records, Field Ring Recordings, Daftpop Sounds and more.  Two sets are never the same, mixing analog relics and rare recordings of underground sounds from across the globe with original productions; Looooooongish Cat is simultaneously playful and deep.

Yukes 玉刻

来自美国的古筝演奏者,演出中会将古筝结合采样器、合成器、bbox等,不拘形式,乐于实验。致力于在西方当代音乐语境中使用古筝进行创作。音乐的体裁背景来自极简House、布鲁斯、民谣、摇滚以及氛围音乐与声音设计。

Guzheng-playing foreigners are a rare breed. Even rarer is stacking a guzheng with synthesizers, stompboxes, groove machines and playing it backwards. A constant experiment of an unheard guzheng style tends to steal the spotlight, right until Yukes begins singing. The lyrics instantly forego the need for any electric accompaniment, revealing his struggle with stability, uncertainty, lost tranquility and youth. A contemporary blend of East & West, Justin’s hypnotizing performance strives to reinvent the guzheng and open minds in the process.
