在此預祝大家新年快樂。2016 年一月的藝術與音樂交融的線上計劃,就是收到來自紐西蘭新興電子樂廠牌VoiceMail Recording的邀約呢。
雖然做這件事,可能跟很多人想像的EDM呀舞王派對派瑞絲希爾頓相去甚遠。半毛錢都沒有。(就像電影也有好來污賣座賣靈魂電影跟藝術導演電影咩)但是我還是要說,
有些事情,你知道,它不是可以衡量的。
想哭嗎。恩。
好了話說回來介紹一下,當初收到主理人Richard B. Keys的來信就令我感動,由於在紐西蘭的藝廊Auricle Sonic Arts gallery,擔任聲音節目的專案經理。他開始了這個線上廠牌,主要的概念就是from Dancefloor to Avant-garde . But How?
他附上了一封官方說明給我,我簡略的用我理解的中文翻譯一下~
VMR除了獻上介紹獨立/ 實驗的大洋洲電子樂,同時也會每個月發行實體的「material」,也就是說,你可以購買藝術家的音樂(可線上下載)與他製作的材料(實體物件)。真是一舉兩得。
同時,他們希望在2016年製作每週一次的廣類型的當代電子音樂,內容從實驗到後工業電子甚至 vapour wave 與synth-pop and club futurisms 在在都希望呈現大洋洲一塊的另類電子樂運動,推出更多大家還沒聽過的聲音。
除了邀請了許多大洋洲電子音樂家諸如
1080p, Altered States, Bunyip Trax, End of the Alphabet Recordings, Idealstate Recordings and Room40.同時也邀請其他洲的電子樂藝術家,有Peter Puzzle of Leisure System (Berlin, Germany), and Midwaste (Marion, Illinois, USA)
竟然 ~還有來自台灣的Betty Apple 啦!!
能跟這些很棒的音樂家其名發在Mix上,還有這些雄偉無畏的概念好像真的覺得是一件快樂的事情是不。
