Huoratron
Huoratron 是一个人的音乐组合,Aku Raski是一位居住在赫尔辛基的作曲家、制作人、艺术家,他活跃在赫尔辛基音乐舞台上。
Huoratron别具一格的乐器由2 个任天堂 Gameboy 和采样器组成。这些采样器经过修改,从而演奏出更加扭曲、粗糙的声音和低音,这并不是任天堂Gameboy以及采样器一贯的特征。利用这些上世纪80年代 的技术,并将其改变成完整的电子音乐作曲工具,是Huoratron独特原声背后的主要音乐元素。
Huoratron is a musical project of one man, Aku Raski, a Helsinki-based composer, producer and artist, active in the Helsinki music scene. A recent compilation by Dutch record label Bunker records “Sound of Suomi – the electro sound of Finland” included songs from Huoratron, Alpha Males and Nu Science, all different projects of mr. Raski.
Huoratron’s key instruments are two hand-held Nintendo Gameboy consoles. The consoles are modified so that they create more distorted, rough sounds and heavy bass – not the usual feature of Nintendo Gameboys. Using these nearly obsolete pieces of 80’s gaming technology, and turning them into full-fledged electronic music composing tools, is the main ingredient behind Huoratron’s unique raw sound.
Huoratron encapsulates what is valued in electronic music and electronic live shows; a highly intensive performance consisting of massive explosion of visuals and experimental arcade game soundscapes.
Huoratron has enjoyed keen interest from the media and has been widely noticed in numerous publications, both in Finland and abroad. Recently Raski has been busy touring around the world with his live show; multiple tours in USA, Russia, Sweden, Norway and Estonia have built Huoratron’s reputation as one of the most intense live shows in Europe.

FM3
FM3由北京音乐圈的活跃分子Christiaan Virant(老赵)和张荐组建于1999年,它被认为是中国抽象电子实验音乐的开拓者。FM3以在作品中建构生动变异的空间而著称,他们通过在 micro-sounds和合成杂音之间微妙地添加某些中国民乐元素,使之成为丰富的小宇宙,呈现神秘的、冥想的、极简主义的声音风景。
FM3被美国杂志Grooves评论为“中国最杰出的实验组合”。XLR8R杂志把FM3的声音描述为“诗意的噪音”。英国的Wire杂志形容FM3的现场为“静默冥想的”和“抚慰人心的”。
2004年,FM3受巴黎卢浮宫博物馆委托,为1930年代的经典电影”La Croisière jaune”制作新的配乐。这个计划以6月在卢浮宫礼堂的三场成功演出而告终。
FM3为柏林传奇厂牌Staalplaat录制了专辑,并在法国的Bip-Hop、加拿大的Mutek_Rec、意大利的Mousike、英国的Nascente、瑞士的Leerraum和美国的Sublime Frequencies等厂牌发表过作品。
Founded in 1999 by Christiaan Virant and Zhang Jian, two active members of the Beijing music scene, FM3 are considered pioneers of abstract electronic experimentation in China. Known for dedicating prime space for “live” aspects within their work, FM3 produces mysterious, meditative, and minimalist soundscapes, while subtly adding certain elements of ancient Chinese folk tradition into a universe abundant in micro-sounds and synthetic glitches.
FM3 has been called “the most prominent experimental act in China” by the US magazine Grooves. XLR8R described FM3’s sound as “poetic noise” and the UK magazine The Wire calls FM3 live sets “meditative” and “soothing.”
In 2004, FM3 was commissioned by the Louvre museum in Paris to provide a new soundtrack for the classic 1930s film “La Croisière jaune.” The project concluded with three sold-out performances at the Louvre Auditorium in early June.
FM3 records for Berlin’s legendary Staalplaat record label, and has also released music on Bip-Hop records in France, Mutek_Rec in Canada, Mousike records in Italy, Nascente records in the UK, Leerraum records in Switzerland and Sublime Frequencies in the United States.
