=====================

四月二日至九日，兩岸三地將舉行充滿童真稚趣的音樂會，幾位來自日本的多媒體藝術家，將透過音樂與影像，引領人們重拾久違的純真和疏遠的情感。

他們都是當前 laptop electronica 風潮的一份子，手提電腦成為他們最重要的創作工具，並且與原音樂器諸如吉他、鐵琴以至玩具樂器有機結合，產生既親近又新鮮的聲音效果，電腦的便利性也讓更多創作者嘗試影音雙棲，甚至把觸角滲透到設計、時尚、裝置與空間等多媒體藝術範疇自由跨界，這樣子的創作風氣正好搭配近年來備受談論的社會現象傑斗（kidult），也讓村上隆、奈良美智成為炙手可熱的“名牌”，發展到音樂上，一種被稱作 childish music 的樂種已經從日本逐漸擴散到全世界，德國著名新音樂廠牌Staubgold四月二十五號將出版一張名為 Childish Music 的合輯，其中就收錄了這次參與演出的的 Kazumasa Hashimoto 與 Lullatone。加上曾為三宅一生（Issey Miyake）的品牌 Tenalys 創作多首配樂的Sora與日本電音廠牌 Plop 負責人 Mondii 特別擔任暖場DJ，現場將幻化成別緻有趣的影音遊樂場，不管你是真小孩、大唔透還是人小鬼大，歡迎一同參與這場影音新體驗！

演出者介紹 ABOUT THE ARTISTS

<Kazumasa Hashimoto>
身兼作曲家、錄音師與網頁設計師的身份，Kazumasa Hashimoto自幼學習鋼琴，後於東京音樂大學修讀作曲，擅長以鋼琴搭配電子聲響營造意象豐富的音景。他曾為不同樂手的專輯演奏鋼琴，包括World’s End Girlfriend和鈴木惣一郎（World Standard）。先後出版個人專輯Yupi及Epitaph，皆廣受好評，最近作品更被收錄於一張名為Childish Music（Staubgold 2005）的合輯中。2003年Hashimoto參與坂本龍一策劃的活動 “Code”，讓他有機會與Sketch Show（細野晴臣、高橋幸宏）一起演出，去年亦擔任MorrMusic日本巡迴的特別嘉賓。

Kazumasa Hashimoto started playing the piano from an early age and studied composition at the Tokyo College of Music. He is noted for creating soundscaped pieces rich in imageries from a combination of acoustic instruments and electronic sounds. He has collaborated with artists such as World’s End Girlfriend and Souichiro Suzuki (World Standard). In addition to two acclaimed individual albums, Yupi and Epitaph, his work has been included in the much talked about recent release, Childish Music (Staubgold 2005). In October 2003, he performed alongside Sketch Show (Haruomi Hosono and Yukihiro Takahashi) at a "Code" event headed by Ryuichi Sakamoto, and supported MorrMusic’s label tour of Japan in April 2004.

<Lullatone>
Lullatone是Shawn James Seymour的個人音樂計劃。定居於日本名古屋的他崇尚「少即是多」，含蓄簡約的音樂風格讓人聯想到Steve Reich和Erik Satie的作品。Lullatone擅長創作細緻精準卻不乏童真稚趣的可愛旋律，現場演出常搭配大量定格卡通影像。Seymour自2001年開始採用Lullatone這個代號，先後在電音廠牌Plop、Audio Dregs與Childisc出版個人專輯，作品並散見世界各地廠牌的合輯中，包括日本著名生活傢俱店Actus的概念合輯，是目前孩子氣（Childish）音樂風潮的重要代表！

Lullatone is the musical project of Shawn James Seymour who lives in Nagoya, Japan. His tiny compositions created on adorably delicate and precise small melodies are characterized by their subtle nature, on a par with the works of Steve Reich and Erik Satie. In his live shows he is often accompanied by stop-motion animation. Since starting the project in 2001, Lullatone has released 3 albums on Plop, Audio Dregs and Childisc, and appeared on a crazy amount of V/As from around the world. He is without doubt one of the most prominent figures of the “childish music” trend!

<Sora>
來自日本京都的Sora (Takeshi Kurosawa)自幼學習鋼琴，九０年代開始運用採樣器創作音樂。深受英國IDM風潮影響的他有作品收錄在英國廠牌General Production（GPR）的合輯中。2003年首張專輯Re.sort大獲好評，將電子合成的破碎聲音轉化成自然的鳥叫、蟲鳴，或是海浪輕拍岸邊的韻律呼吸，彷如清涼解熱的陣陣微風。Sora並曾為著名服裝設計師三宅一生（Issey Miyake）的品牌Tenalys創作多首音樂，作品也被日本Tomorrow Land的時裝品牌 "Edition"用作BGM。

Sora (meaning “sky” in Japanese) is the alias of Takeshi Kurosawa from Kyoto, Japan. He grew up playing the piano and began to create music using digital samplers in the early 90’s. Influenced by the "intelligent techno" scene in the UK, his talent was revealed early by his participation in a compilation of the UK label General Production. He has also contributed tracks for apparel brands like Issey Miyake's "Tenalys" and Tomorrow Land's "Edition." His debut album, Re.sort (2003) received great acclaim for its transformation of electronic glitches into nature noises, such as birdsongs, insect humming and gentle waves hitting the shore.

<Mondii>
Mondii (Nao Sugimoto)從小學習鋼琴，大學修讀民族音樂學，並以吉他手身份參與數個樂隊同時發展用電腦創作音樂的個人興趣。他曾專為電視廣告作配樂，目前擔仕Plop的經理並創立自己的音樂廠牌Spekk。Nao的創作專輯散見於許多國際（如Hefty Records、Lo Recordings及Fuzzybox）及日本音樂廠牌。他另外還參與兩個屬性相當不同的計畫，RdL和Enna。

Mondii (Nao Sugimoto) studied ethnic music at university and played the guitar in several bands, in addition to following his interest in making music on computers. After working as a sound designer for TV commercials, he presently runs the Plop label and his own label Spekk. Nao has releases on various international labels such as Hefty Records, Lo Recordings, Fuzzybox, as well as many Japanese labels. He also plays in a band oriented project called RdL, and has another project called Enna that focuses on physical beat oriented tracks.
