Reviews on Yan Jun's Lamma Island Diary and Anson Mak's Going Home (Or Not) of our On Location series.

The Wire Nov 2009

Yan Jun - Lamma Islands Diary (Re-Records CD-R)
A true ambassador of Chinese sound art, Yan Jun has actively established connections in and out of mainland China for well over a decade as curator, critic and artist. His Lamma Islands Diary is a collection of field recordings and found object manipulation from a trip to Hong Kong for the Around Sound Festival earlier this year. A couple of the recordings feature him boldly marching through an area active with frogs, insects and birds, none of whom seem startled by his heavy-footed plod. Other tracks find him mucking about in a cloistered alleyway, fumbling with crumbling pieces of wood. Here, his methods recall the metaphysically alien field recordings of G*Park. In these instances, Yan purposefully situates his body in the landscape, allowing the recordings to witness the ensuing relationship; elsewhere, he quietly stands in awe of the toxic hum from some type of industrial machine winding down.

官塘南丫島聲錄誌
香港實驗電音／聲音藝術製作人Sin:Ned在今年自立門戶創辦了他的獨立廠牌Re-Records，這陣子一連發表了四張專輯作為頭炮。而這四張專輯當中，包括有兩張On Location系列出品。

On Location為Re-Records用作出版田野錄音（field recordings）及其他特定地點錄音作品的一個音樂系列，先帶來是顏峻（Yan Jun）的《南丫島日記》和麥海姍（Anson Mak）的《番（唔番）屋企》這兩張專輯。

Field recordings （又名phonography）是一大流派。所謂的field recordings，是把具體的自然環境聲音蒐集紀錄，製作處理成聲境作品，作為一門聲音藝術的創作。縱使一般來說field recordings被直譯作田野錄音，但我認為喚作實地錄音，會較易明白。

香港另類音樂圈子所能容納的聲音談不上太多，偏鋒的實驗音樂在香港從來只是另類中的另類小眾文化而已，論到田野錄音創作就更加少之又少。而現在Re-Records的On Location出品，便是首個本土出版的田野錄音系列。

On Location的田野錄音出品並沒有甚麼模式或地域的規限，但這次先行發表的兩張專輯，卻無獨有偶是以香港地域為主題——顏峻的《南丫島日記》顧名思義是以日為界的訪島誌，和麥海姍的《番（唔番）屋企》則是觀塘聲錄。

顏峻是內地著名樂評人兼聲音藝術家，他在今年4、5月從北京來到香港的南丫島，由中環至索罟灣小輪船艙內的噪音揭開序幕帶領大家踏進這個離島。顏峻的環境聲錄，滿是風聲浪聲蟲鳴鳥叫，聽到都是貼近大自然的憩靜聲境氛圍，而有着旅記般的閒情記趣。

反之，前獨立樂團AMK成員、活動影像創作人、phonograph藝術家麥海姍的《番（唔番）屋企》，則全然是屬於城市的——地點是觀塘舊區（甚至在文案中也刻意用回觀塘的舊稱「官塘」），從而引伸到該區面對政府進行舊區重建、舊社區面臨消失的問題。所以《番（唔番）屋企》是Anson的一個抗爭聲明，從生活化與個人化的角度來聲錄觀塘的舊社區，隨她走遍裕民坊、月華街、天光墟與官塘盂蘭節，猶如一次聲境文化導賞。然而這並不獨是一張純粹的田野錄音專輯，在她獻聲主唱與跟前AMK結他手許惠琛再度合作下，一首民謠小品歌曲《月華說》便是來得多麼的縈繞心頭。

INTER-FACE
18 August 2009

We're excited to present you our first label show in Beijing this August!

INTER-FACE
Waterland Kwanyin 160
Jointly presented by Lona Records, Re-Records & Sub Jam

25th August, 2009, 22:00
2Kolegas, Beijing

Performing Artists:
Opening: No One Pulse
KWC + Vavabond
Sin:Ned + Yan Jun (on Harmonic Field)
Alok + Jackson Garland

Two people.
One wooden box.
Forty-eight metal contact points.

This is the basic idea of INTER-FACE.

Harmonic Field, by Arius Blaze and Ben Houston

The wooden box is called Harmonic Field. It is designed and handmade by American sound art device artists, Arius Blaze and Ben Houston of Folktek. No keyboard. No strings. Only forty-eight metal contact points. The performer is required to use his/her body as part of the circuitry to generate sounds.

In each of the INTER-FACE performance, Hong Kong sound artist Sin:Ned will invite different artist to play the Harmonic Field with him. Face to face. With such unique instrumental interface.

Here in Beijing, we have the debut performance of INTER-FACE.

In this debut performance, Yan Jun is invited to play the Harmonic Field with Sin:Ned. With electro-acoustic duo No One Pulse as opening act, Alok and KWC will pair with guest artists Jackson Garland and Vavabond for a duet improvisation.
