Locd41r - Sin:Ned / Nerve - 鬼餓施舟Ghost Feeding Vessel (limited 100 cdr)

Recorded live at Para/Site Art Space on the eve of the Chinese Ghost Festival, "Ghost Feeding Vessel" is a rare free-form electronic improvisation between two Hong Kong experimental artists, Sin:Ned and Nerve.

"Ghost Feeding Vessel" was originally composed and performed by Sin:Ned and Nerve for the multi-media performance "Ritual for the Ghosts". As a follow-up project of "Dialogue with the Ghosts", the multi-media performance continue s to re-establish an on-going dialogue with the deceased , through re-interpret ation and re-activat ion of various local spiritual beliefs and rituals. The ultimate aim, is to confront and acknowledge, those who had been forgotten (unfinished business) , but still exist on the other side (or somewhere deep inside).

The search of liberation , for both the artists and the audience.

Art, as the ritual.

This is the core of "Ghost Feeding Vessel".

Surrounded by the enigmatic installations of Adrian Wong inside the venue, "Ghost Feeding Vessel" was composed and performed as the live soundtrack for the video projection of Nookei and Twiggy. Breaking away from the deterministic methdology of computer music, the two artists took a free-form approach, turning their laptops and electronic gears into tools of improvisation. Organic flow of sounds and ritualistic guestures of live instrumentation, punching in and sliding out with almost free jazz like movments, cut deeply into the uncharted territory between ethnical mysticism and post-modern digitalism. The flow of sound, becomes a journey of shamanic quest for vision beyond the electronic avant-garde.

收錄於2007年中國鬼節前夕，「鬼餓施舟」是實驗電音藝術家Sin:Ned及Nerve一次罕有的純即興創作。

「鬼餓施舟」首演於多媒體演出「異靈祭典」，而是次演出，乃大聲展咖哩秀項目「異靈對話」的延續篇，旨在透過一系列重新探討本地靈異信仰及祭禮習俗的跨媒體實驗創作，再次試圖與靈對話。

在藝術家Adrian Wong的巨型竹棚裝置底下，對應著Nookei及Twiggy的錄像播放，「鬼餓施舟」是一次即興的現場配樂創作。 Sin:Ned與Nerve的自由即興演奏，反動著電腦音樂一貫刻板直敘的宿命。富流動力與有機性的聲響肌理，介乎祭典進程與自由爵士樂的姿態，在原始神秘主義及後現代數位主義之間，揭發出一個未知的幽異空間。聲音流動過處，有如古巫醫的覓靈亡旅，超越，在前衛電音主義以外。
