孩子(電)氣多媒體音樂會
Kidult Electronica + Multimedia Concert

Plop – 擲地一聲的簡單音調，一個日本電音廠牌的清亮名字。
自命 clean、natural、pure and tender，
就像孩兒時的拼力遊樂，倦了又要回到母親的懷裡撒嬌。
顯露他們脫不掉的孩子稚氣…

但當您將唱盤放進唱機時，
成熟的電聲風景，或然緊湊，時而激昂…
與溫暖的真實樂器相映成趣…
聲音帶出畫面斑斕，就像不是為電影而作的原聲大碟…
轉眼間，寂靜平和的聲樂態度充滿空氣。

*Artist Profile*

http://home.att.ne.jp/star/bd/

Kazumasa Hashimoto started playing the piano from an early age and studied composition at the Tokyo College of Music. He is noted for creating soundscaped pieces rich in imageries from a combination of acoustic instruments and electronic sounds. He has collaborated with artists such as World’s End Girlfriend and Souichiro Suzuki (World Standard). In addition to two acclaimed individual albums, Yupi and Epitaph, his work has been included in the much talked about recent release, Childish Music (Staubgold 2005). In October 2003, he performed alongside Sketch Show (Haruomi Hosono and Yukihiro Takahashi) at a “Code” event headed by Ryuichi Sakamoto, and supported MorrMusic’s label tour of Japan in April 2004.

身兼作曲家、錄音師與網頁設計師的身份，Kazumasa Hashimoto自幼學習鋼琴，後於東京音樂大學修讀作曲，擅長以鋼琴搭配電子聲響營造意象豐富的音景。他曾為不同樂手的專輯演奏鋼琴，包括World’s End Girlfriend和鈴木?一郎（World Standard）。先後出版個人專輯Yupi及Epitaph，皆廣受好評，最近作品更被收錄於一張名為Childish Music（Staubgold 2005）的合輯中。2003年Hashimoto參與?本龍一策劃的活動 “Code”，讓他有機會與Sketch Show（細野晴臣、高橋幸宏）一起演出，去年擔任MorrMusic日本巡迴的特別嘉賓。

Lullatone is the musical project of Shawn James Seymour who lives in Nagoya, Japan. Lullatone creates. His tiny compositions created on adorably delicate and precise small melodies are characterized by their subtle nature, on a par with the works of Steve Reich and Erik Satie. In his live shows he is often accompanied by stop-motion animation. Since starting the project in 2001, Lullatone has released 3 albums on Plop, Audio Dregs and Childisc, and appeared on a crazy amount of V/As from around the world. He is without doubt one of the most prominent figures of the “childish music” trend!

Lullatone是Shawn James Seymour的個人音樂計劃。定居於日本名古屋的他崇尚「少即是多」，含蓄簡約的音樂風格讓人聯想到Steve Reich和Erik Satie的作品。Lullatone擅長創作細緻精準卻不乏童真稚趣的可愛旋律，現場演出常搭配大量定格卡通影像。Seymour自2001年開始採用Lullatone這個代號，先後在電音廠牌Plop、Audio Dregs與Childisc出版個人專輯，作品並散見世界各地廠牌的合輯中，包括日本著名生活傢俱店Actus的概念合輯，是目前孩子氣（Childish）音樂風潮的重要代表！

Sora (meaing “sky” in Japanese) is the alias of Takeshi Kurosawa from Kyoto, Japan. He grew up playing the piano and began to create music using digital samplers in the early 90’s. Influenced by the “intelligent techno” scene in the UK, his talent was revealed early by his participation in a compilation of the UK label General Production. He has also contributed tracks for apparel brands like Issey Miyake’s “Tenalys” and Tomorrow Land’s “Edition.” His debut album, Re.sort (2003) received great acclaim for its transformation of electronic glitches into nature noises, such as birdsongs, insect humming and gentle waves hitting the shore.

來自日本京都的Sora (Takeshi Kurosawa)自幼學習鋼琴，九０年代開始運用採樣器創作音樂。深受英國IDM風潮影響的他有作品收錄在英國廠牌General Production（GPR）的合輯中。2003年首張專輯re.sort大獲好評，將電子合成的破碎聲音轉化成自然的鳥叫、蟲鳴，或是海浪輕拍岸邊的韻律呼吸，彷如清涼解熱的陣陣微風。Sora並曾為著名服裝設計師三宅一生（Issey Miyake）的品牌Tenalys創作多首音樂，作品也被日本Tomorrow Land的時裝品牌 “Edition”用作BGM。

暖場 Supporting Act

http://www.themarshmallowkisses.com/

Being usually grouped as the indiepop act, The Marshmallow Kisses inclines to surrender to any worldly pursuit and stereotypical definition. In their debut EP, Edine and Peter turn their paradoxical association and arbitrary affection of the world into bittersweet music along with analog syth and a mixture of twee drum and bossa nova guitar. The seemingly innocent female and male duet whisper about the joyful return of an unrequited love, the moving incentive of the obsession of nostalgia and the hyper sensitivity on daily triviality and human fragility. Behind the wall of their complicated mentality, after all, The Marshmallow Kisses says they just wish to be an autumn breeze that reaches everyone’s heart at gentle pace.
Peter (programming) and Edine (main vocal) participated as session players and harmony vocal respectively for musicians including the pancakes, Dylan Art (Hong Kong) and Three Berry Icecream (Japan).
Debut song released in the Japanese magazine Beikoku Ongaku in 2001.
First EP “i wonder why my favorite boy leaves me an EP” released in summer 2004.
“everyone else is ahead, far ahead” hits No.1 on the foreign langauge chart of radio station CR2 903, Hong Kong.

香港男女二人組合the marshmallow kisses，其音樂可以歸類為清新的indie-pop。意圖把 bossa nova吉他與簡潔派 drum loop混合，於2004年6月推出首張EP ”i wonder why my favorite boy leaves me an EP”，用有限資源灌錄但亦不乏 synth symphony，analog keyboard 及男女合唱等元素。 當中主打歌曲”everyone else is ahead, far ahead”進佔香港商業電台第二台叱吒903豁達推介流行榜七星期及曾攀上第一位。
