This anthology features 48 artists from within the Chinese area of influence. It is designed
as a journey through what is currently happening underground, under extremely diverse forms.
It also looks at the recent past and the key role of pioneers like Wang Fan, Dajuin Yao,
and also Hong Kong-based Li Chin Sung aka Dickson Dee who, for almost two decades, has been
spreading the word about Experimental music in Mainland China. This album was curated by
Dickson Dee on Guy Marc Hinant's invitation. It includes an enlightening presentation on the
short yet intense advent and history of the Chinese noise explosion,co-written by Zbigniew
Karkowski and Yan Jun.
The Sound of the Underground
An Overview of Experimental and Non-Academic Music in China
The Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-76) in one way or another eradicated most of the
existing culture in China. At the same time as intellectuals were sent to rural labor camps,
countless ancient buildings, antiques, books, paintings and various artifacts were just
destroyed. This period created an enormous intellectual, cultural and artistic vacuum in
China - destruction that in a sense, time is still healing.
So tradition of music culture and especially non-academic, purely experimental music,
started from 'point blank' scratch sometime in the 80ies. With the market economy
introduced in that decade and further media developments in the 90ies, there was a kind
of an explosion in youth culture that had been held back for decades. Movements and music
scenes that previously never reached China - like for instance psychedelic music, punk
or neo-dada started to appear and expanded at astonishing pace.
The birth of these alternative rock and punk music scenes that later developed into even
more experimental trends is a direct result of global capitalism and profound change in
China's position within the World Order. It however did not develop the same way as it
usually does in the West - with one eye looking forward and the other one always glancing
at history. It started with 'dakou' and with piracy.

The collaboration between KLC_NIR and I was started from Feb 2008, two tracks on the album were live
 improvised soundtracks for video works during two different performances. <Burn> was made for the 
video work of Liang Guojian, the artist from Foshan. <Blind Man and the Sun> was made for two video 
works of Deer Fang. Although this two live recording tracks are not perfect enough - not only the 
sound/music itself, but also the quality of recording, it is a ‘cannot copied’ spiritual experience in 
this ‘Clone Era’. We recorded and saved them.

GiN Label

A subminiature indie label founded by experimental musician - KLC_NIR in Shenzhen, PR China. It focuses on releasing experimental music and sound art in global.

GiN Label是由深圳实验乐手KLC_NIR创办的独立厂牌，以出版国内外实验音乐及声音艺术为主，追求"细节性的"声音以及"精神性的"体验。

ChoP自2006年9月成立以来，至今已经出版了三张系列唱片。ChoP vol.4的人选早已确定为KLC_NIR(中国)和Nejmano（波兰）,他们均以吉他+电脑创作，前者带有浓郁的东方气息和淡淡的禅意之声，后者则透出醇厚的东欧古典主义情怀和强烈的波兰电影配乐感，唱片计划12月底或09年1月初出版，这是一张让我十分期待的创作。

在ChoP vol.1的创作中，我和Greg曾经就各自感兴趣的话题互相访谈，遗憾的是在后面两个系列的创作中，没有继续。而在ChoP vol.4的创作中，这种有趣而且有意义的工作将重新开始，我希望在之后的每个ChoP系列中都将延续，ChoP不仅仅通过声音交流，文字同样是交流的一部分。

ChoP vol.5波兰方面的人选已经确定为年轻的MORE,中国方面的人选还未确定，希望大家帮忙推荐。

据介绍，《猫》和《音乐之声》的上座率都很高，几乎场场爆满。统计资料显示，有１１４８０人观看了《猫》。《猫》１０００元以下的票很快就被抢购一空，演出临近的时候１０００元以上的票也供不应求...业内人士普遍认为，《猫》与《音乐之声》的大热表明，深圳已经真正与国际舞台接轨。

《蝶》制作人李盾认为，深圳要打造“音乐剧之都”一定要有自己好的作品，并且要把国产音乐剧向国外推出去，《蝶》近期在国际舞台的成功让他更坚定了这一点。

李盾说，《猫》和《音乐之声》的火爆的确标志着音乐剧在致力打造“音乐剧之都”的深圳大有可为。

以上文字摘自深圳特区报2008年07月24日D8版。看完之后我觉得自己的脸好红好烫，设计之都、钢琴之都、图书之都、美术馆之都、展览之都之后，有人喊出音乐剧之都了。这些无知无良的媒体，那些别有用心的口号呼喊者....

意大利的Leandro Pisano去年年底曾为Neural这本杂志做过一期我的访问，之后我答应为他撰写一篇关于中国电子音乐的文章，而后来我发现这是个艰巨的任务，所以一直拖到现在都未完成，只好先将前年我与Greg创作ChoP vol.1时所做的互相访问的文章发给他，现在这篇名为<over a foul line, simple questions >的文章多了一个意大利版本。文章刊载于www.tristandacunha.it

真是神奇，明明是“操”这样粗俗的一个字，被他放在诗中，竟显得出奇的纯净。
