Vibration No.1129
5'27''

Hi,Yan Jun and Zhu Wenbo,
It sounds great! I like the title. It leaves people to think what is the meaning about music in the moment. And it is exactly what we are working on!
I will think about it.
I am in Montreal now, have met Eric today;)

Best,
Jun-Y



Hi,Yan Jun,
We are fine in Montreal. It is a nice city.
I have performed tow times. One short piece is done spontaneous at Eric's events,. Another piece is at a studio.
Possibly can I select the recording from the trip for the compilation.
Yes, this trip, we have not been in the north america. So we decide to do it.
Like vacation, visiting, meeting people and also some performing,but not too much...
It is nice, Chen Che wants to play the piece which I did at last Sally can't dance festival.
I have arranged it and we will play it. Plus MAImai will join in to the New York sessions.
Huangshan is a coincidence. We have had it without planning. But we think it is a place good for working where is with energy and reality, no context with modern art. Maybe it is not interested for all the artists, but if someone like it, is it a real place.
Composition for me means organizing the sound material, but is the improvisation not?
Painting, photography is a material, but is the music/sound not?
I just try what I can;)

Here is also very hot that I have not thought before.
Berlin is cool, enjoy the city. And send me also some tracks for the Lake radio.

Best, Jun-Y


about the work:
"Recently am i interested specially in "vibration", as the title, the piece is a practice to produce the vibration. Certainly is the vibration a basic
theory for reeds instrument to produce the tone, but it is also the basic form of the sound. So for me to practice the vibration means to thinking
about how to produce the tone and how the form of sound exist. And one practice is on the study to the insect that you can hear it in the recording.  

It was recorded in Shanghai at my home.

It is a hard situation for artist/musician in China. But some people think there is big energy here which inspirit the artist. The thing has always two sides. In China you can become confused and you can also become insistent. 

I have built an organization, it names "Where is the Zeitgeist?" Editing Office. And the label "Where is the Zeitgeist?" is the part of it. And it is also   the work to edit the "Zeitgeist". At the prolog to the label have i wrote : in any time, there are artists being alienated, working out of step with their peers. Never belonging to the present nor the mainstream might let them disappear in the history, but they may also be found in the retracement. Growing against the trend of the time, their value will be acknowledged in the time they belong. The Editing Office of "Where is the Zeitgeist?" is not trying to objectively edit the spirit of the age we live in, but to document and compile the alien spirits of our time.
So i think what important is to give the question and do something after thinking. It seems it has a big question, but it focus exactly on the individual."

嗨,颜峻和朱文博:
听起来不错!我喜欢这个标题。它会让人思考此刻音乐是什么。而且这恰恰是我们在做的事情!
我会琢磨一下。
我现在在蒙特利尔,今天刚见到艾瑞克:)

祝好!
骏园

嗨,颜峻:
我们在蒙特利尔挺好的。这是个不错的城市。
我表演了两次。在艾瑞克的活动里临时演了一个短作品。另一个是在一个工作室。
也许我可以从这次旅行的录音里选一段给合辑。
是啊,这次旅行,我们没来过北美。所以就决定来了。
差不多是度假,访友,见见人,也表演,但不会太多……
挺不错,Chen Che 打算演我那个在上届撒丽不跳舞音乐节上的作品。
我整理了一下,我们会演这个作品。卖卖也会加入纽约的这些演出。
搬去黄山住是个偶然。我们没有计划它就发生了。不过我们想这是个工作的好地方,有能量,有现实,和现代艺术没有瓜葛。可能不是所有艺术家都感兴趣,但如果有谁喜欢,那它就是个好地方。
对我来说,作曲意味着组织声音材料,难道即兴就不是吗?
绘画、摄影是材料,但难道音乐/声音就不是吗?
我尽力而为:)
这里也很热,我之前没想到。
柏林酷啊,好好享受。记得发我给湖电台(Lake Radio)的作品。

祝好。骏园

“最近我对‘振动’特别感兴趣,如标题所指,这个作品是制造振动的一次尝试。振动的确是簧乐器发声的基本原理。但它也是其他声音的基础。所以,对我来说练习振动就意味着思考怎样发声,以及声音的形式是怎样存在的。有一次我的练习是和研究鸣虫有关,你能从录音里听到。
是在上海我家录的。
对中国的艺术家/乐手来说现在是个艰难的处境。但也有人会觉得这里有能够给艺术家灵感的巨大能量。事情总是有两面。在中国你会困惑,但也可以坚持。
我创办了一个组织,叫做“时代精神在哪里?”编辑部。“时代精神在哪里?厂牌是它的一部分。而且也是编辑‘时代精神’的工作。在厂牌的发刊词里,我这样写:在任何时候,都有艺术家被疏远,在他们同行的活动范围之外工作。从不属于当前,也不属于主流,他们会消失在历史中,但也可能被人在回溯时发现。伴随着对时代潮流的反对,他们的价值将被他们归属的时代所认可。‘时代精神在哪里?’编辑部并不尝试客观地编辑我们生活的时代的精神,而是去记录和收集我们时代被疏远的精神。
所以我想,重要的是提出问题,思考然后做事。看起来有着巨大的问题,但它真切地关注个体。
