“To my friend z.k ‘The High fidelity recording of the original 78's shellac’ Ripping” is a newly commissioned experimental sound performance by artist Zheng Ke and independent musician 1334. For both of them, Shanghai-POP embodies the traces of history and local landscape, resembling a vast soundscape resonating with ghostly echoes. They delve into the archival sounds of the era and the city, akin to travelers using soundscape materials from different times and spaces—be it shopping malls, streets, hotels, or elevators—slowly transporting the listeners through the daily auditory experience to the past modern era. The audiences, in turn, are invited to weave together their own experiences and on-site perceptions to complete the imaginings of this sonic journey narrative.
Guests:
Zheng Ke (b. Huai’an, 1992) currently lives and works in Jingdezhen and Shenzhen. His artistic practice includes sound, video, and installation. His work often explores unpredictable and suspended boundaries and feelings through sound and image. Zheng Ke is fascinated by researching the sensory imagery of otherworldliness in the urban hinterland and everyday scenes of the night, and the clear but disjointed and treacherous moods of the new grotesque. With the combined effect of hearing, vision, and material, he specializes in dissociating and reshaping commonplace objects and the emotions that arise instantly in familiar scenes, breaking their original forms and inherent constraints, and generating feelings of strangeness and dismay. Zheng Ke's works have been exhibited at the X Museum in Beijing, and the Beijing Macalline Centre of Art.
1334 (b. Shantou, 1988) is an independent musician who currently lives and works in Beijing. He has been a part of the band Gastsby In A Daze, as well as several solo projects such as Mei Yu, cathodic, and lonelybabys, and has also composed soundtracks for short films and independent films. Known for the neo-psychedelic rock trend, he later attempted to recreate the soundscape of coastal cities in the early nineties with sampling, synthesizers, and ethnic instruments and explored and experimented with the pentatonic scale as the framework for compositions that are free of modulation and noise.
‘赠友人z.k《经典78转唱片修复系列》翻录’是艺术家郑可和独立音乐人1334最新委任创作的实验声音表演作品。对于艺术家而言，海派“时代曲”带着地域和历史的痕迹，如幽灵般像一个余音缭绕的巨大声音景观。郑可和1334身处时代与城市的声音档案中，作为游历者利用不同时空的声音场景素材，从商场、街头、酒店、电梯慢慢将听者从日常的音景经验中带入到过去的摩登时代。而观众则被邀请编织自身经验与现场体验，完成自己对这场声音旅行故事的想象。
嘉宾：
郑可（1992年出生于淮安）目前生活工作于景德镇和深圳。他的艺术实践包括声音、影像与装置。其创作时常通过声音与图像，对难以预料的、悬置的边界与感受进行探索。他着迷于研究夜晚城市腹地与日常场景中异世界性的感官想象，以及新怪诞中清晰但不协调的诡谲情绪。他擅长在听觉、视觉和材料的综合作用下，对司空见惯之物，与在熟悉场景中瞬时产生的情感进行间离与重塑，打破其原有形态和固有约束，产生陌生与错愕的感受。郑可的作品曾在北京X美术馆，北京美凯龙艺术中心等机构展出。
1334（1988年出生于汕头）作为一名独立音乐人现工作生活于北京。他曾参与乐队Gastsby in a daze (晕盖)，亦有美玉、cathodic、lonelybabys等多项个人音乐计划，也为短片、独立电影配乐。因neo-psychedelic rock风潮为人所知，后试图以采样、合成器、民族乐器等手法再现九十年代初沿海城市的音景，在五声音阶为作曲框架中作无调式、噪音的探索与实验。
