/ Artists 藝人介紹

/ natural/electronic.system. | Valerio Gomez de Ayala | Italy 義大利

Valerio Gomez de Ayala 出生於義大利的那不勒斯，自2011年至今定居於羅馬。他是dj及電子創作雙人組合natural/electronic.system.（簡稱：n/e.s.）的其中一員，另一位成員則是Antonio Giova。在90年代末，Valerio開始收藏源自世界各國的techno、IDM、ambient、實驗、house以及電音的黑膠唱片，從這之後他先後受到那不勒斯的techno/house盛況影響，和被那些去當地演出的國外DJ所啓發。Valerio 在高中時期認識了Anotonio，他們一同創辦了natural/electronic.system。他們以它來表達自己對聲音重新賦予的定義，以有機的質感作為主要的音樂特色，在dj set中堆疊、融合各種類型的電子音樂。義大利的另一個城市-羅馬，其無論是其復古或現代的音樂和聲響都讓他們特別地熱衷，也因而他們在近幾年開始和Donato Dozzy等當地的音樂製作人展開合作與聯結。同時 n/e.s. 也開始在各個義大利城市演出dj set，有時他們也回到那不勒斯，在維蘇威火山山腰的私人森林派對中待上幾晚。2007那一年，Valerio 與另一位音樂家 Andrea Grasso 成立了一個小型電子音樂廠牌名作 Stomafunk，曾被譽為當年最引人注目的義大利廠牌之一。不過在發行過幾張唱片過後，他們放棄了經營這個廠牌，開始轉向作其他的企劃。2008年，在拿到Salerno大學頒發主修傳播學的文憑之後，Valerio移居荷蘭的鹿特丹繼續攻讀聲音工程學位。在2009年，natural/ electronic. system. 參與了日本的電音盛宴 - Labyrinth。自此之後，他們便開始在義大利之外的各國音樂祭和舞廳活動，將他們獨具魅力的音樂聲響傳送到各個地方。

Valerio Gomez de Ayala was born in Naples (Italy) in 1984, and he’s now based in Rome since 2011. He's one half of the dj/producer duo natural/electronic.system., the other half being his friend Antonio Giova. At the end of the '90s, he started collecting techno, IDM, ambient, experimental, house and electronic music records from all over the world. He was later influenced by the florid Neapolitan house/techno scene and inspired by the foreign djs coming to perform in Naples clubs.
He met his friend Antonio in high school. Together they founded the natural/electronic.system. project in order to express their personal definition of sound, mixing together different genres of electronic music during dj sets aimed at having organic textures of sound.
Over the years they became keen on the old and modern sound coming from another Italian city, Rome, where they started connections with local musicians such as Donato Dozzy.
At the same time, n/e.s. started performing dj sets in different Italian cities, while running some nights in Naples and private parties in the forests on the slope of the volcano Vesuvius.
In 2007, Valerio co-founded with the musician Andrea Grasso a small digital label called Stomafunk, that was acclaimed as one of the most interesting uprising Italian labels of that year. After few releases, though, they quit the label and started working on different projects.
After taking a degree in Communication Science at the University of Salerno, Valerio moved to Rotterdam to study Audio Engineering in 2008.
In 2009, natural/electronic.system. took part to the mighty Labyrinth festival in Japan. Since then, they started exporting their distinctive sound outside Italy, in different clubs and festivals around the world.

/ Yuka | FullPanda / Pro-Tez | Russia 俄國

Yuka是一位女DJ，她雖然從1998年就長居俄國莫斯科，卻在遙遠的希伯利亞展開音樂事業。布拉茨克這個以排放工業廢料而惡名昭彰、還登上近年世界三十大重度污染城市的城鎮並不是個宜人的地方，大多數的人都希望能移居他地，Yuka也不例外。音樂在她六歲時便扮演了相當重要的角色，因此她也很早就開始為在首都舞廳表演做足了準備。

Yuka的興趣橫跨繪畫、雕塑及設計，一直到今天她都持續在這些領域創作，不過學生時期對於鋼琴的滿腔熱情終究讓音樂成為她生命中最重要的亮點，也促使她考取伊爾庫茨克藝術學院，以本名Irina Solbutova繼續攻取更高的學歷。

現在Yuka定居於莫斯科，她的音樂不時在Fullpanda、Pro-Tez以及Electronica這三個廠牌下發行，其中Electronica更以她的名字創立了免費下載的podcast系列，第一集Yuka便以如夢似幻的文字說道：「音樂家就像捕鳥人，特別像是那種到處尋覓鳴鳥的獵人。有些獵人獨鍾於某幾個種類，像是夜鶯或雲雀，而其他人則獵捕各種獨特稀有的鳥。獵人們捕了鳥兒，將它們養在用樂譜和節目單碎紙片編織而成的籠中。」

Yuka的音樂就像這段文字的意境，既華麗又魔幻…不過換作是喝酒的話，Yuka倒是挺平鋪直敘、直截了當的。

Yuka is a female DJ now based in Moscow (where she has lived since 1998), but who began her career in distant Bratsk, Siberia. The town - a local industrial center - is probably more famous for what it dumps than what it makes; in the recent past it was listed as one of the thirty most polluted cities in the world. It wouldn't take much persuasion for someone to move on... Yuka's preparation for a shift to the capital's nightclubs was lengthy, however, since music had played an important role in her life since the age of 6.
Over time, her passions moved in the direction of painting, sculpture, and design - activities she continues to this day. That initial school-day enthusiasm at the piano would eventually win out, though, and dictate her choice of higher education. Her musical training thus led to a degree from the Irkutsk Arts Institute, where she no doubt studied under her real name, Irina Solbutova.
Now that she's fully ensconced in Moscow, her music appears regularly through the outlets of three labels: Fullpanda, Pro-Tez, and Electronica. That latter orgniation has also created a series of podcasts in her name for free downloading. The opening broadcast came with a small text that moves swiftly from imaginative fancy to absolute fantasy. In English it reads as follows: "All musicians can be compared to bird-catchers, especially those hunters who'd go looking for songbirds. Some of them would search for a particular type: a nightingale or a lark, perhaps. Others, conversely, would hunt nothing but exotic birds. Once they were caught, the birds would be kept in cages made from sheet music or boxes cut from concert programmes."
This tendency towards the ornate and magical is a marked facet of her work. When it come to drinks, however, she's a little more straightforward.

/ geometer | USA 美國

Geometer 也就是 Kyle Kaplan。 他來自於洛杉磯，自去年10月來到台北。 在早期，他是專注於古典音樂的，但是銳舞文化、Autechre的音樂、編曲軟體及天然迷幻藥物使他的興趣轉化到發展性寬廣的電子音樂上。他經常用 Sasha Borodin 這個別名在蒙特婁、紐約、洛杉磯和波士頓各大城市都有演出。Geometer 之前的表演通常在音樂和影像的整合運用了定製的軟體，但是目前他完全使用音頻硬體演出，更加提升達到無筆電的透明度和簡化。他的聲音是一連串的機器夢想 - 拼圖的節奏、並列的樣式、空間的開啓與關閉。

"geometer is kyle kaplan. he was heavily involved in classical music in earlier years, but exposure to rave culture, autechre, composition software, and entheogens redirected his interest to the vast creative possiblities of electronic tools. often under the moniker of sasha borodin, geometer has played shows in montreal, new york, los angeles and boston. his performances previously utilized custom built software for an integration between music and video, but presently he performs solely with audio hardware, preferring the transparency and streamlined approach of a laptopless performance. he is originally from los angeles, and has lived in taipei since october of 2011. his sounds are images of machine dreams - jigsawed rhythms, juxtaposed patterns, spaces opening and closing."

/ swivelized sounds | USA 美國

swivelized sounds是旋轉的。

他在美國俄亥俄州出生長大。約在1989年，他買了一支低音吉他還有擴音器並且使用他母親的老雙軌開盤式錄音器開始錄製音樂。不久之後，一個破音效果器還有特效機也加入了聲響的錄音行列。在90年代早期，swivel 與 Platter Sliced Bacon 一起演出，這是在俄亥俄州牛津一個臭名遠播有著奇怪迷幻的噪聲小組。在90年代中期，swivel 搬到了西北的奧勒崗州，並且在波特蘭市成立了一個工作室。當 swivel 在那邊時，他也在一些不同的音樂企劃中都有演出，其中最著名的是Mohammed Omelette 和 Roger That。這兩個樂團都專注於即興的迷幻噪聲和樂器輪作。不久之後，swivel 也開始在酒吧和派對裡有 dj 的演出，最終還介入“波特蘭地下廣播台” － PRA。大約在2000年中期，swivel 開始了他的亞洲之行，曾經在漢城待過的他，現落腳在台北。2007年11月16日對 swivel 來說是重要之日，因為他創立了 swivelized sounds。

swivelized sounds is swivel.

swivel was born and raised in Ohio. around 1989, he bought a bass guitar and amp and set off recording music using his mother’s old two track reel-to-reel recorder. a distortion pedal and effects rack were soon to follow.

in the early 1990’s swivel performed with Platter Sliced Bacon, a notoriously strange psychedelic noise group based in Oxford, Ohio.

by the mid 90’s swivel made his way westward to Oregon, eventually setting up studio in Portland. while in Portland, swivel performed in a number of different musical projects, most notable being Mohammed Omelette and Roger That. both bands focused heavily on improvisational psychedelic noise and instrument rotation. swivel also started to dj shows at bars and parties and eventually became involved in Portland’s pirate radio station, the PRA.

around the mid 2000’s, swivel set out for Asia making his way to Seoul and eventually Taipei.

on november 16th, 2007, swivel launched swivelized sounds.

/ Straightliner | Taiwan

Straightliner是Kenneth C的化名，身為有機派對的Artist，原始、粗糙的特質以及對完美的渴求是必須的。為了達到這些層面，Straightliner深感自己和電子音樂之間的相處需要一種強烈的對比和極端的差異。他認為BASS是永恆的，強調氛圍的塑造，並有意識地擺脫規則化的模式。從聆聽到舞池，Straightliner未曾喪失自我風格，而那細膩的態度以及藝術性的思維，往往為他的音樂帶來出奇不意的震撼。

As a resident DJ of Smoke Machine, the primitive and raw emotions toward the music are necessary. To achieve the aspects of it, Straightliner deeply feels that he must gather himself and the electronic music with strong contrast and drastic difference. Straightliner never stays in only one style, and he is always searching new ways to express himself in music. He thinks BASS is eternal and essential to the sound. He loves to play with unique bassline and try to break away from normal patterns. From home listening to the dance floor, Straightliner never loses his own characteristics. His delicate attitude and artistic taste often brings unexpected shocks in his music.

/ Petstov | Chile

Petstov 是一位設計師，作家。 生於智利，瓦爾迪維亞。 並在2001年時他開始了他的音樂之路。2003年他以Petstov 的名字開始發行單曲，而此時的聲音逐漸是他所喜歡的。他笑著說這是個開端，在2003年末他整理了一些包含了3/3 techno 到 electronica 到ambient 的 Demo，並且得到了熱烈的回響，給了他更專心在音樂上的一個啓發。

Petstov 所做的音樂非常的寬廣，無法使用一種類型將之歸類 ，他多元化的音樂性已讓他有成為一個重要並有影響力的音樂人。

Petstov is a designer, writer, and a former stockbroker born in Valdivia, Chile, where in early 90's he started taking music beyond normal knowledge, but was not until 2001 that he start to take it seriously. he had already done some cdr a couple of years ago with tracks containing electronica and ambient, and was quite unsatisfied with the results. he switched from trackers to sequencers.

In early 2003 he started doing demo tracks under the Petstov name. the tracks started sounding better to him. he smiled. it was a start. in december 2003 he had compiled a demo array of tracks ranging from 3/3 techno to electronica to ambient, and received good response from the listeners, which inspired him to concentrate on music even more.

404 is the last and present project of Petstov, a mixture of Ambient & dub-techno build under 120bpm.
