Album Description
就在 那一刹那间，世上发生了很多事：某个地方一艘巨轮沉没了，一场战争爆发了，一个天才诞生了。那一刹那过去了。
他心想，自己怎么就命里注定活在生活的边缘上，以前是这样，以后还会是这样。以此而论，倘若死亡不给他一个通往现实的入口，他就干脆不懂得生活。
—弗拉基米尔·纳博科夫
In that moment, many things happened in the world: somewhere a huge ship sank, a war broke out, and a genius was born. That moment passed.
He thought to himself how he was destined to live on the edge of life, as he had been before and as he would be again. In this sense, if death did not give him an entrance to reality, he would simply not know how to live.
-Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov
我们尝试用声音去描述这一刹那的“未命名事件”，描述这些可能没有存在过的。
询问这些与地球共同存在的声音。
We try to describe the "unnamed event" of the moment with sounds that may not have existed.
Ask about these sounds that exist together with the Earth.

艺人介绍
ArtistS
Chris Timm
Christopher Timm是一位来自南非开普敦的新晋电子音乐艺术家，他制作了复杂且经常令人兴奋的鼓点模式–他将其描述为 "乏味的编程"。他不断抛开传统，挑战 "好品味 "的极限的愿望，为他在当地的地下音乐界赢得了追捧。克里斯是一个值得关注的人，甚至可能是两点，因为他正在开发他的音乐制作工具，并让我们猜测（尽管我们一直在用上述的视野观察）他接下来会做什么。
Christopher Timm, notable producer of complicated and often euphoric drum patterns – which he describes as “tedious to program” -, is an up and coming electronic music artist from Cape Town, South Africa. His desire to constantly brush aside conventions and push the limits of ‘good taste’ has earned him a cult following within his local underground music scene. Chris is one to keep an eye on, possibly even two, as he develops his repertoire of music production tools and keeps us guessing (even though we've been watching with aforementioned eyes) what he will do next.
Xiin
丁昕是一个跨界在实验电影、电子音乐和声音艺术之间的艺术家。他是中央美术学院、北京电影学院的教师，也是在噪音、迷幻电子等地下文化圈里出没的存在。在学校他是一个称职的人民教师，在校外他是一个值得一提的艺术家。
从音乐／声音的角度看，他的创作集中注意了声音在黑暗空间中的抽象体验。因为来自于电影创作的背景，他看待声音的角度和很多仅仅是从声音自身出发的艺术家有一些不同的地方。他早年间创作的出发点是以“反叙事”和精神层面的启发性为初衷进行延展的。—用他的话来说，他擅长制作“剿灭幻觉的幻觉”
在十余年的职业生涯中，他的作品在世界各地的实验电影节放映，近年来也公开承认在尝试在电影院中展示更纯粹的想象的声音。以此出发，他在live house的声音演出也特别关注了电子信号和数字信号本身的纯质感的抽象呈现。
另外，他与孟奇、陈喆、席望、高源组成的噪音乐队“液体宫殿”在近5年的噪音演出中，也曾给大家带来很丰富的内容。本期给大家提供的是有两部分，一个是2017年他的作品“山峦的荧光”的回顾。另一个是2020年他与韩国实验电影人李幸俊合作发行的专辑“诱导”。丁李二人曾多次合作，制作电影和声音作品。2020年的这个作品结合了二人对于电影光学声音的理解和技术解剖，其中既有现场演出的录音，也有在工作室内的再录音和再加工。
除了这个方向的声音创作，他在近期也有很多电子舞曲的出品，他的舞曲作品主要承袭了Psycore的偏流，于Psytrance格式批判的继承。如果关注他在这方面的情况，请关注网易云电台Psy Emperors。他是Psy Emperors厂牌的发起人和厂牌主理之一。他的大部分电影作品在Re:Voir、LightCone、Canyon Cinema三个机构发行，详情请可以去这些机构的网站查询。
Sandy Ding is an artist who crosses the border between experimental film, electronic music and sound art. He is a teacher at the Central Academy of Fine Arts and the Beijing Film Academy, and a presence in the noise, psychedelic electronic and other underground cultural circles. In school he is a competent people's teacher, outside of school he is an artist worth mentioning.
From a musical/sound perspective, his compositions focus on the abstract experience of sound in a dark space. Coming from a background in film making, his perspective on sound is somewhat different from that of many artists who work solely from sound itself. In his early years, he began his work with the intention of extending the "anti-narrative" and spiritual inspiration. -In his words, he specializes in making "illusions that extinguish illusions".
In a career spanning over a decade, his work has been screened at experimental film festivals around the world and in recent years has openly admitted to experimenting with presenting more purely imagined sounds in cinemas. With this in mind, his sound performances in live house also pay special attention to the purely textured abstract presentation of electronic and digital signals themselves.
In addition, his noise band "Liquid Palace", formed with Meng Qi, Chen Zhe, Xi Wang and Gao Yuan, has also brought you a lot of content in their noise performances in the past five years. In this issue, we offer you two parts, one is a review of his work "Fluorescence of Mountains" in 2017. The other is his album "Induction", released in 2020 in collaboration with Korean experimental filmmaker Lee Hangjun. Ding and Lee have collaborated on numerous film and sound productions, and this 2020 work combines their understanding and technical anatomy of the optical sound of film, with recordings of live performances and in-studio re-recording and re-processing.
In addition to this direction of sound creation, he has also produced a lot of electronic dance music in the recent past, with his dance works mainly inheriting from the Psycore bias and the critical succession of the Psytrance format. If you follow him on this front, follow Psy Emperors on Netflix, the label he started and is one of the label masters. Most of his films are distributed by Re:Voir, LightCone, and Canyon Cinema.
