Szilard
Szilard is the China-based solo sonic adventure of Jeremy Young, former resident of New York and Montreal where he has performed in a few bands including Sontag Shogun and (The) Slowest Runner (In All The World). A normal night of music for Szilard consists of guitar drones and looped answering-machine tapes among other sound-making objects and instruments, however for this upcoming performance he will be utilizing only sound elements gathered from China in the past and present. Time will cripple and collapse into form with three tools of talking:
-A Chinese handradio freely channeling AM signals.
-Magnetic analog tapes regurgitating the voices and simulacra of today’s China
-And live Guzheng mirroring the fabrics of ancient China and offering a wholly melodic counterpart to the layered and rippled soundscapes.
Szilard will be performing both solo and in collaborative communication with Other Veins.
Other Veins:
Jeremy O’Sullivan orbits a celestial body of inter-media and installation art. Since graduating from Elam School in New Zealand his work has found a resting spot somewhere in the pale limits scribed by the process of globalization. Reflecting on notions of constructed time, repetition, distribution of space and the resolution of reality his practice collapses and re-assembles the social and economical systems that underpin contemporary life. Using the debris of consumerism, the plastic scraps, cardboard boxes, tape weeds and vacant advertising dribbles as his compost he sets about formulating an endless echo of meaning undone by its own lack. Sound has always been an integral facet of his constructions often used to project {with the aid of an inner speaker horn fetish} elements of the everyday back on itself. Amplified silence; a 1000 pigeons cooing amongst sine waves.
Now located in Beijing and when not entangled teaching the kids of the ‘Aerospace Kindergarten’ he plots the course of a film about a women on a quest to the centre of the universe. His forthcoming work at ‘2 kolegas’ will see some of the concepts from that cosmos transposed into the theatre of sound performance. Taking the mantle of a middle man, a sonic go-between agent he will be playing his dogged ally the megaphone. Cast through a scrum of torch beams and amateur camera speckles a space will be constructed of amplifications, feedbacks and de-formed cycles garnished from the other performers and the environment as both unfold. Collaboration with other musicians allows Jeremy to refuse the creation of his own inputs, focusing instead on re-distributing the outputs of those around him. Space is a hole envisioned only by other holes.

艾德温·范·德·海德
http://www.evdh.net
Sensorband成员,2006年北京世纪坛的新媒体艺术展上,有他的机器怪兽。
艾德温·范·德·海德于1992年毕业于荷兰海牙皇家音乐学院,学习声学。作为独立艺术家,在声音、空间和互动领域从事艺术工作。很难用传统的音乐、声音 艺术或者媒体艺术的术语来定义他目前的工作,因为他总是在旧有媒介的边缘与特性之上工作。在这个意义上,媒介并不仅仅是中介物,而是被探索和重新定义的。 尽管音乐语言被运用在作品中,但这并不是说,作品的呈现和音乐会形式的音乐有什么必要的联系。其结果可以是装置、表演,或一个环境。1995年,他被荷兰 海牙皇家音乐学院和皇家艺术学院聘任,作为跨学科“图象声音/艺术科技”教师。2002年以来,他也在雷登大学教授媒体科技硕士。
1989年,艾德温·范·德·海德开始用定制感应器乐器表演。它把音乐带入一个有强烈肢体操作、强调声音本身的新形式。在表演中,他对空间的兴趣日益浓 厚。他意识到新的可能性——把一个空间当作乐器来操作,甚至更进一步,把人类感觉和观众的知觉当作可以用来“作曲”的乐器。经过一些年头,他的作品重心转 移到了声音装置、互动装置和环境上。现场表演仍然是作品的一部分,但重点已经转移到环境的内容上,并且减少了对表演者的关注。
