A Bunch of Noise

一把噪音

- SYSTEM 系统

2023.4.01-02

随着上周末「一把噪音」的上演，疯狂占据了SYSTEM每一寸空间。主办方极富野心地集结了噪音、实验和前卫乐场景中最杰出、最富有突破性和最不着调的音乐人，两天内总计有32场演出登上舞台。音乐节的阵容经过精心策划，参演乐队十分多样——从李剑鸿的宇宙萨满主义到严峻大胆且概念化的表达，从PRCM疯狂麦克斯一般的自由混战到SYSTEM老板在阿鸣吉他狂潮中的金工表演。更值得称赞的是，在多个噪音和惊心动魄的表演组合间，空间被精心设计并利用——基本上一个乐队演出结束，另一个乐队演出就开始了，一秒钟也不浪费地从各个方向冲击你的感官。乐迷们欣喜若狂地跳入深渊中，伴随着嘲弄与欢呼，甚至忘乎所以地加入表演（虽然有好有坏）。这是令人不安、着迷和极具危险诱惑的盛会。毫无疑问，许多人将在很长一段时间内不时回想起这个周末。接下来，请欣赏由杰出摄影师Jasper和噪音品鉴师小夫带来的照片回顾。

Insanity over at SYSTEM last weekend as the ‘A Bunch of Noise’ Festival took over every square inch of the space. A wildly ambitious and sprawling gathering of the noise, experimental, and avant-garde scene’s most prolific, boundary-pushing, and off kilter acts - the festival unfolded over the course of Saturday and Sunday with over 32 acts converging upon the space. 

With a finely-curated lineup, one of the pleasures of the event was how eclectic the acts were - from the cosmic shamanism of Li Jianhong to the conceptual audacity of Yan Jun; from the free-for-all Mad Max assault of PRCM’s set to the metal work from SYSTEM’s very own owner during Aming’s guitar freakout. 

Even better was just how well thought out this panorama of noise and gasp-inducing sets were - with multiple spaces being used - essentially meaning one set who end on what end of the venue and another would begin - not letting one second go by without having your senses rocked every which way. Fans were throwing themselves gleefully into the abyss - hooting and hollering at any given moment and even embedding themselves into a performers’ set (for better or worse). 

Disturbing, mesmerizing, dangerously alluring stuff. Certainly a weekend many won’t soon be forgetting. Enjoy this visual recap of the mayhem courtesy of ace photographer Jasper and participant and noise connoisseur 小夫.
