Kikoe is a creative documentary with the Japanese avant-garde musician and composer Otomo Yoshihide in the centre. His particular, improvisatory style and way of thinking and playing are echoed in the style of this free-spirited documentary, which includes interviews and performances by DJ Spooky, Jan Svankmajer, Jonas Mekas, Adachi Masao, Jim O’Rourke, Keiji Haino, John Zorn, Bill Laswell, Fred Frith, and many others.
This music documentary is not only about noise. Kikoe is noise. Nowhere in the world is noise, extremely experimental music, taken so seriously as in Japan. And Otomo Yoshihide is one of the great noise masters. No one makes noise as well as he does.
Film maker Iwai Chikara: ‘This is a document of a system observed from a fixed point, and the point is the musician Otomo Yoshihide. It is a gesture, arbitrary yet perfect, as though connecting stars with lines and giving a name to the constellation.’
Otomo Yoshihide (1959, Yokohama) was already making electrical devices such as a radio and an electronic oscillator before high school. After high school he started playing rock and jazz on guitar. It wasn’t long, however, before he became a free jazz aficionado, listening to artists like Ornette Coleman, Eric Dolphy and Derek Bailey and various Japanese free jazz artists, notably the alto sax player Abe Kaoru and guitarist Masayuki Takayanagi.
Otomo has been active in performing concerts, collaborating and recording with numerous musicians and artists worldwide, while maintaining his independent stance. He is always pursuing sound on an experimental basis in varied areas of music, such as free jazz, improvisation, noise music, contemporary music, electronic music, and film and TV drama music. In recent years, he has also been working on sound installation at museums, improvised music workshops for the children with learning disabilities,and ‘kayokyoku’; a particular genre of Japanese pop music. As a film/TV/video soundtrack composer, he has demonstrated exceptional talent for the works of Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Shinji Somai, Shinji Aoyama, Tian Zhuangzhuan and Ann Hui..

Miji Festival was developed from a small tour of FEN (FarEast Network). It was supposed to be issue no.11 of Miji Concert organized by Sub Jam. Its aim is connect and react with sound experiments in different places through the medium of improvised music.
Since FEN’s establishing in Marseille, 2008, these four musicians from four different Asian countries were trying to organize concert in their own cities and anywhere around the world. They are trying to meet and play with each other, and with other musicians. After 6 months preparing, follows changing, it developed to a concentrated festival.
Each concert is an event. It was brewed from people’s will and reality. Sound is the only materials of building the world during playing and listening. And human is wild animal with ability of thinking.
Again, with effort of volunteers and support of friends, the stage is born.

《Kikoe（听闻）》
制作、导演、剪辑、摄影、采访：岩井主税
2009/日本/彩色/DV/99分钟/4:3
语言：日语（部分为英语、法语、捷克语）/英文字幕
这是一部关于实验音乐的实验纪录片。
导演将他称之为“星云”。电影以日本实验乐手大友良英为线索，采访了日本和世界各地的音乐家、艺术家、作家，并从大量现场演出素材中剪出许多碎片。这些谈话、声音、人物、光影，像这个世界本身一样，以内在的逻辑，相互拼合、堆叠、衍生。
如果说，实验音乐的语言是噪音和寂静，那么这部纪录片的语言，也具有同样的物质性。它不解释，也不讲故事，而是让节奏、材质和思想片段来呈现事实。
即使对实验音乐一无所知的观众，也认为这部电影是一场精彩的演奏。

简介
岩井主税，电影人/艺术家，1977年出生于日本群马。使用不同类型的材料与媒介，例如录像，2D，3D和装置，岩井主税的作品涉及到关于“声像记录与记录媒介”的特定现象。除了曾在巴西“一分钟词” 艺术节获奖的当代艺术作品之外，他也为日本和海外的音乐家制作推广录像和短片。2005年，在离开“电视人联盟”公司的工作后，他开始为世界知名的音乐家大友良英拍摄纪录片。

大友良英，1959 年生。同时主导ONJO、Invisible Songs、幽闭者、FEN 等多个乐队，另外参加了Filament、Joy Heights、I.S.O.等多个乐队。作为制作人，也推出过很多作品。他经常同时进行，并且是独立创作多种多样的作品，其活动范围遍及全世界。从常用噪音或反馈（Feedback）效果的大音量作品，到聚焦“音响”发生本身的作品，涉猎范围广阔，以爵士或歌谣为主题的作品也有很多。他另一个广为人知的身份是电影音乐人，迄今为止操刀的电影原声达50 多部之多，此外近年来他还以美术家的面貌涉足声音装置艺术的创作，与此同时他在残障儿童音乐工作室上也着力不少。著书有《MUSICS》(岩波书店)、《大友良英的JAMJAM 日记》（河出书房新社）。
密集音乐节是从FEN（FarEast Network）乐队的小型巡演发展而来的。它本来是撒把芥末主办的第11期密集音乐会，以即兴音乐为媒介，串联不同地域的声音实验。2008年，FEN乐队在法国马赛成立。四位成员居住在四个不同的亚洲国家。他们一直在各自的城市和其他地方组织演出，以便重逢、一起表演。经过半年的筹备，水到舟行，音乐会扩展成了一个浓缩的音乐节。每一场演出，都是一次事件。它由人们的愿望和现实交织而成。在演奏和聆听中，声音是塑造世界的惟一物质。而人，是一种会思考的野兽。又一次，依靠志愿者的劳动和朋友们的支持，舞台搭好了！
