Zafka’s side-project: GN Noise

By zafka

上个周末心情�闷的时候,想起�我墙角的电�他,顺手�起�,打开我的�芬达音箱,也没有加效果器,直接用音箱的失真,�兴玩了20多分钟�他噪音,顺便录下�了。20多分钟下�,整个人都虚脱了。比起电脑软件的声音艺术,硬件的噪音确实很直接,很身体,没有预演,身体和硬件一起动,身心�一,感觉�常棒,很久没有过了。

想起98年末到2000年,布拉格之春�队还在学校�门的海德格尔咖啡馆2楼排练,�常和伙伴们一折腾就是�天,延绵�断的�他噪音,也是到虚脱�去�酒�饭——通常是在咖啡馆隔�的拉�馆里�碗辣辣的拉�。那个时候我们深�sonic youth影�,尤其喜欢他们早期的sonic death,confusion is sex,我和�他手xie还特别喜欢那些无调性的现代派,整天神�兮兮的。我入伙之�,xie和鼓手�戴曾�在地下室两个人连续演�70多分钟,�惜那盒录音�带早已�知所终。

å?Žæ?¥ï¼Œæˆ‘们的演出,也是é?žå¾—一首曲å­?å?³å…´ï¼Œä¸?é™?定时间,然å?Žé«˜æ½®éƒ¨åˆ†ä¸€ç›´å™ªåˆ°è™šè„±æ‰?肯罢手,其中什么手法都用上了:å?‰ä»–æ?’上鼓棒,打ç?«æœºæ“¦å¼¦ï¼Œå?‰ä»–擦音箱和鼓,å?‰ä»–调弦å?˜è°ƒï¼Œæ— ä¼‘止的啸å?«ï¼Œä»¿jimmyçš„fuzz效果器……99年末在上海外国语大学的那次演出,xie用了至少6个å?•å?—效果器,牺牲了一把百ç?µç‰Œå›½äº§ç”µå?‰ä»–横躺在地方,连踩å?‰ä»–带调å?˜æ•ˆæžœå™¨ï¼ŒçŽ©å‡ºäº†æœ‰å?²ä»¥æ?¥æœ€å¼ºçš„噪音墙,我记得自己当时相对应的一å?—效果器都没用,å?ªç”¨äº†å?‰ä»–原声,那个时候主唱敲打三角é“?念念有è¯?,鼓手手里一大堆打击ä¹?器,bass手å??在地上loopç?€ä¸€ä¸ªä¸ªçš„å?•音。这是一次奇妙的è?šä¼šï¼Œä¹‹å‰?没有预谋,整个å?³å…´æŒ?续了至少20分钟,有趣的是,进行到一å?Šçš„æ—¶å€™ï¼Œå?°åº•下的观众竟然打起æ?¥äº†ã€‚

那个时候真的是年轻,几年之�,布拉格之春也��了布拉格,早期的所谓实验噪音,心里那股摇摆的神�质的情绪��了缠绕的�摇。赫赫。

现在,�他噪音�开始诱惑我了,周末�兴的两个�他噪音track,是个开始。�仅�于�他,还有硬件噪音,我想就此开始一个声音艺术之外的side-project。

这是�外一个纯粹的zafka。

    [...] Some news from the south: former Prague guitarist ZHANG Anding, who’s doing sound art under the alias of Zafka, is considering launching a guitar noise side project. Below is my translation of his blog post here. Noticing my electronic guitar sleeping at the corner of my room when in frustration over the last weekend, picking it up, turning my little Fender speakers on, and improvised for 20 mins – no effect pedals involved but pure guitar noise from the feedback of speakers. That 20 mins really exhausted me physically. Hardware noise is indeed more direct and physical than laptop/software-based sound art, there are no rehearsals, the body, when moving along your gears, becomes one with your mind. This feels really great, and it’s a feeling that I haven’t had for long. [...]
