7月12日開催

 

 

韓国・ソウルを拠点に新世代エレクトロニックミュージック・シーンを牽引するミュージシャン/DJのbela、オーガナイザー/DJのyuyungsik、サウンドアーティスト/ノベリストのJiyoung Wiの3人がキュレーションを担当している「Sorrow Club」がオンライン・フェスティバル「Requiem for Self-Isolation」を開催。

 

「Sorrow Club」は新しい世代のリスニング環境を目指し、世界中のアジア人、女性、クィアのミュージシャンの声を集めていくことが目的である。今回の「Requiem for Self-Isolation」では、2日間のストリーミングを予定している、1日目はソウルを拠点にするアーティストにフォーカスし、ZoomとYouTubeで配信される。2日目は海外のミュージシャンと韓国のビジュアルアーティストにフォーカスし、YouTube LiveとTwitchで同時に配信し、「サウンドステージ」と「ビジュアルステージ」に分かれて展開するとのこと。この新鮮なアイデアをもって新感覚の視聴覚体験をしてみよう。

 

まずは1日目のソウルの新世代アーティストに注目。Sorrow Clubのメンバーをはじめ、Heejin Jang、ARTEXTE、Leevisa、Kittyが出演。近年韓国ではソウルを中心に、新しい感覚を持って音楽を表現するアーティストが増え続けている。今回のフェスは彼らの感覚に触れることができる良い機会であることは間違いない。1日目のZoomのコードは7月12日午後2時50分にInstagramにて発表される。尚、イベントの収益の一部は、Black Trans Lives Matter運動に寄付されるとのこと。2日目の詳細は後日発表。

Heejin Jang

Heejin Jang is a multidisciplinary artist based in Seoul. Jang has lived, exhibited, and performed around the globe. In her live sound performance, Heejin presents a set of improvised computer music. She arranges and synthesizes sonic spaces that draw from the everyday and the trivial, re-forming them into phenomenal situations of meditation or digitally induced panic. Distorting ambient, field recordings, and sound samples from the Internet, Jang creates a reverberating force that gets one lost in the echoes of invisible itineraries to the outer world.
