《Flow, Gesture, and Spaces》

Objects and textures

Realizing this metaphorical symbolism into sound

Sonically, nothing out of necessities

Summon the long forgotten structural aesthetics
Apply scales and sounding objects as method
Deconstruct the tedious symbols and legends
Reroute them non-linearly, but orderly

Connecting the signals
Sublimating the pure, unpredictable noises
The reemergence of subtle messages from the symbols

Not confined in the realm of muscle memory between instruments and performers
Free-Improv always resides in the flow of conscious

In the blindly fanatic worship of Sun Ra

In the anarchist riots by Atchie Shepp

Or it could be just a well calculated, controlled-chaos

Throw in a new dimension to live performance as a variable
Reify the essence of the sound

Be it the pitch

The length

Or the texture,

Use the interaction of limbs, bodies, and gadgets within the performance as the medium

To translate

Transform

Or transcend the sound

Or even a live-sampling reconstruction of the desymbolized sound

We are not just taking on the dull crossover
But an experiment into the unknown


物件與織體，將隱喻的符號結構轉化為聲響具象化，所有聲音發聲的關連皆非必然。用一種被遺忘很久的結構化美學思維，以"音階"以及"發聲物件"為方法，拆解對符徵以及文本的刻版想像，非線性但有秩序地重新組織排列。透過簡單的訊號串連，社會化單純不可預測的噪音，以及那些潛在符旨轉化的再現。自由即興往往不單在於器樂與表演者的肌肉記憶，更多的時候它是關乎意識能量的流動，可能是Sun Ra般盲目的拜神,可能是Archie Shepp無政府式的暴動，也可能是精細計算過的混亂狀態。在多次的演出經驗中加入3D向量維度的變因，藉由肢體的互動讓聲響的本質（如音高、音長、織體）在空間中具象化。運用肢體與互動裝置在演出中當作一種介質，讓聲音可以透過身體轉譯、再造、錯置及再現，也可以透過即時取樣讓去符旨的聲響重構。我們挑戰的不只是一場單純的跨界，而是一場命題未知的實驗。
