About SAVAKA
SAVAKA: Asia Experimental Music Currents
“SAVAKA: Asia Experimental Music Currents” aims to challenge global discourses of experimental music centered primarily on Western practices, to present diverse Asian experimental music contextualized within local milieus. If “global” promises a formula for success in the global art and culture market, “Asia” aims to conceive ecology of experimental music in which sonic currents converge and freely diverge.“SAVAKA” focuses on cultural borders and differences silenced in global discourses. It contests the Western imagination of Asian culture—Zen Buddhism, mysticism and tai-chi. While New York, London and Paris are still global centers for the spread of Asian art concepts, this project, to be held in Shanghai, embodies a practical urgency and degrees of resistance.

对于核桃室的讲座,我们更多基于我们的音乐理念讲起,包括新出的唱片所阐释的概念等等。个人讲座标题:《吐纳的自然》。个人的部分主要是想做成一个workshop,和观众有交流,介绍个人的演奏方面的一些方法和想法等等吧!
关于核桃室
核桃室成立于2007年,是冯昊与李增辉进行艺术创作的组合名称。该组合以声音与实验音乐为基础出发点,融合戏剧与行为表演、影像多媒体、诗歌与文学等多种创作手段,形成独树一帜的表演风格。
冯昊(aka. DJ Strausss)
1976年出生于安徽合肥,1998年毕业于合肥联合大学产品造型设计专业。现居北京。创作涉及实验音乐、戏剧、设计、绘画、行为表演与影像等多个领域。“核桃室”和“没谱四重奏”等多个乐队成员。DJ Strausss则是他进行唱片和声音采样拼贴的创作代号。
李增辉
1983年出生於山东青岛。是萨克斯及实验人声演奏者,DJ\混音手,也是怪诞诗歌与微型戏剧的践行者。2001年8月便開始参与青岛地下音乐的演出活动。自2007年以来,李增辉多次参与“水陆观音”、“白糖罐声场”系列演出,及mini midi音乐节、subjam密集音乐会和中国先锋音乐节、密集音乐会等重要演出。近年來李增辉的创作除萨克斯演奏,也涉及歌曲、戏剧、电影、写作等領域。
关于声闻
声闻:亚洲实验音乐呈现
“声闻:亚洲实验音乐呈现”旨在超越西方实验音乐的全球话语权,发现并激发多样化亚洲实验音乐的本地意识。如果“全球”暗示的是一种艺术文化市场的成功配方,“亚洲”则更倾向于构建一个以自身文化为节点,又与“他者”相接的实验音乐生态环境。
“声闻”关注那些被全球话语息声的文化边界和差异,力争超越西方长久以来对亚洲的文化想象—禅,玄,太极。不得不承认,纽约、伦敦、巴黎始终是传播抽象亚洲观念的国际中心,而这更使得这个即将在上海展开的亚洲项目,具有迫切性和不可避免的对抗性。
随着新媒体科技的飞速发展,一个全球实验音乐虚拟网络已经形成并正在扩张。“声闻”的重要性在于促成这个虚拟网络的结点人物,在现实空间——上海——与当地发生切实的实践和理论互动。我们希望能够将网络世界形成的文化社会关系本地化,同时希望,在音乐实践和个人思考的分享与碰撞中,激发亚洲实验音乐生态环境在本地的更新与重生。
