Music

Guitar, double bass, drum and saxophone might be the common instrument in jazz music, but Greg Lamy Quartet adds more charm in these instruments and they make some different music. Greg Lamy Quartet is from Grand Duchy for Luxembourg which is a small country with an area of 2,586 square kilometers that has a population of about 570 thousand. Although it is one of the smallest sovereign states in Europe, Luxembourg has seen the birth of over 500 bands and artists in the past ten years. In order to encourage people to play music and promote the music, Luxembourg sets up the Luxembourgish music export office music: LX to help more outstanding musicians to be on the international stages.

The music of Greg Lamy Quartet is not just jazz: sometimes walking around the cross of jazz and blues, sometimes playing folk ballad, sometimes you think you play a swing song to dance. That is the band brings multiple melodical climates. Their music has limitless possibilities and you never know what will be the next note to surprise you. Anyway, Greg Lamy Quartet’s music could satisfy each demanding ear.

The members of Greg Lamy Quartet have played together for 11 years and they have the unspoken tacit. They enjoy to play music under this tacit and to reach new heights, which creates a unique atmosphere of Greg Lamy Quartet. Each member has his own feature in playing instrument. As the front-man of the band, guitarist Greg Lamy owns a refreshing and pure sound gives birth to multiple melodical climates; double bassist Gautier Laurent has a requisite sensitivity of music, which helps him to grab the exact note he needs; Johannes Müller has an elaborate and sophisticated skill in playing saxophone and he is good at expressing emotions through his music vocabulary; Jean-Marc Robin controls a fabulous technique of playing jazz drum and he also makes the sound of Greg Lamy Quartet much more three-dimensional.

Characterized by an alchemical osmosis, the Greg Lamy Quartet is an accomplished ensemble. Their tours in Europe, USA and Brazil caused a tremendous repercussion. At the same time, the album Meeting released in 2013 received critical and public acclaim as one of the label’s best-selling albums. In 2016, the Luxembourgish music export office music: LX awarded them the Export Artist of the Year Award in the jazz category.

On July 15 DDC presents a matinee performance by Nekroma and Wen Liang titled ‘Visions from the Void’. Following on from the ‘Visions in the Night’ performance Nasty Wizard Recordings put on at Yi Chang Cafe last year, this performance will attempt to explore the concept of art created in a feedback loop with live music, with both the performers and audience taking part in the creative process. While the performers will create ambient soundscapes combined with live digital paintings and shifting found visuals the audience will also be provided with art materials with which to express their interpretations of the creations unfolding before their eyes. Strange and ethereal voices beckon from the void, let’s hear what they have to say.

Nekroma

Nekroma is an experimental art rock quartet based in Beijing. While the group began as a collaboration between the bands Nakoma and the GUIGUISUISUI, Nekroma has taken on its style and identity distinct from the two bands that forged it. Drawing on a range of influences from all over the globe Nekroma utilizes vocals, skateboard guitar, drums, bass, electronic samples, and synths to create a backdrop for carnival of intriguing characters including King Necro, Pumpkin Queen, Diavolo Rosso, and The Hanged Man. On record they present twisted fairy tales and Lovecraftian fantasies, while live they mix theatricality akin to a silent horror film with digital painting created in real time and projected over the band, creating a feedback loop between sight and sound. Nekroma beckons. In 2018 Nekroma played at Taihu Midi Festival.

Wen Liang

Born in Jilin, North-East of China, he is a young composer, music producer and music editor, engaged in film and television music production and editing. His personal style is built upon the concept of free exploration. His works got approval by Zhang Yadong, Chen Weilun and other well-known music producers. In 2012, he arranged the winning track "Olive Tree" for the winner of Rock The Web, the female singer Xuan Ling Mu. He has long-standing collaborations with the well known S.A.G Sound Art Group, Chen Weilun, Cui Jian and Na Ying.

Jiafeng aka Gao Jiafeng is a peculiar complex: electronics producer, saxophonist, musical instrument designer, rapper and talk show actor. The music style includes vapor waves, disco, futurebass, citypop, hiphop, traps, and ghosts, etc., and then uses his homemade cool-waste aesthetic VJ and TED lecture styles to run through the audience. From the Brainwashing MV "Kidhi disease" to writing a nightmare song with 9m88, buying lyrics from Taobao, winning the Abbey musician award using pseudo-hacking techniques... you will get a world of open minded ways to open. Every performance of Jiafeng is full of joy, but at the same time it is worth thinking and playing.

FISHDOLL:

Beijing native-born independent electronic music producer and singer.

She graduated from the Department of Music of Communication University of China and began studying violin at the age of 5. At the age of 24, she went to New York Contemporary Music and Jazz in New York to learn advanced jazz singing. During his time he came into contact with electronic music production and began to self-study arranger software to create jazz and abstract electronics. Unique music. In early 2018 her debut album "Noonsense" was released on the New York label Paxico Records. The album was voted "the best new electronic album" by Bandcamp and evaluated "She is an extraordinary talent (She is an extraordinary genius)."

The unrestrained creativity of the unrestrained and highly distinctive voices of the unconstrained and unrestrained character also earned her highly praised American jazz saxophonist Billie Harper. She has collaborated with American independent electronic music producer Froyo Ma, Soft Glas, and ten Grammy winner Bobby Mcferrin and their daughter Madison Mcferrin.

He also worked with American singer Anna Wise, who partnered with Kendrick Lamar to win the Grammy Award for Best Rapper/Singer, and Yaeji from 88rising.

Cohen is a performer and ethnomusicologist specializing in Judeo-Spanish ("Ladino") Sephardic songs, as well as in medieval and traditional music, including Balkan, Portuguese, Yiddish, and French Canadian, pan-European balladry, and songs from Crypto-Jewish regions of the Portuguese-Spanish border.

Her daughter, Tamar Ilana Cohen Adams (b.1986) often performs with her. Judith's performance repertoire and lectures draw on her village field work in several Mediterranean countries and in urban immigrant communities; and on her academic research, presented in a dynamic, accessible style adaptable to audiences from sophisticated cognoscenti to school children. Her commentaries can be given in English, French, Spanish or Portuguese.

She accompanies her traditional-style singing on bowed vielle, 'ud, dulcimer and traditional percussion instruments, and is an accomplished player of recorders and pipe-and-tabor. Tamar Ilana is an accomplished traditional singer, and adds percussion, drawing on her years of flamenco dance training and her travels and fieldwork with Judith.

Judith is the General Editor for the Spain series of the Alan Lomax project, carried out with the Association for Cultural Equity and Rounder Records. Besides editing and writing extensive liner notes for the series, she has located and interviewed almost all the men and women still alive in Spanish villages whom Lomax recorded in 1952, and is working on an edition of his Spanish field diaries.

Judith was a founding member of Gerineldo, the internationally acclaimed Moroccan Judeo-Spanish ensemble, and the founder-director of Nova Tradicija, an a capella ensemble specializing in Balkan singing, as well as Na Carenza, a women's ensemble specializing in the early medieval repertoire. Judith presents multicultural and medieval programs for children through Mariposa In The Schools.

As an educator, she has worked coaching the Balkan vocal ensemble at the University of Toronto, and is currently Contract Faculty and Adjunct Graduate Faculty at York University. Among the courses, she has taught are Music of the World’s Peoples, Music of the Mediterranean, Medieval Music and Folklore of Canada.

Dirty Fingers, a foursome punk band from Shanghai, will be playing at Yugong Yishan this Friday, June 29, along with The Molds and The Bedstars, two Beijing-based punk bands who are surely going to add more fuel and excitement to the gig since they haven't played for nearly two years.

About Dirty Fingers (from LiveBeijingMusic):

Frantic, relentless, and brimming with vitality, over the past five years Shanghai punk ruffians Dirty Fingers have grown from a college band to one of the most prominent punk bands in China. Playing over 300 gigs, through 35 cities in 26 provinces around the country they’re an assault on the senses and have managed to keep things fast and loose with their DIY attitude and live wire act - a wallop of animated mischievous and riotous recklessness - exactly the kind of scrappy mentality that the punk scene needs now at this moment in time.

Their sophomore release from How’d I Turn So Bad, released on Maybe Mars, in 2017 was a runaway hit - an unholy mess of ramshackle charisma, tightly wound melodies, and a carefree yet volatile attitude that landed on many year end lists. Since then the band has embarked on an ambitious takeover of the world, with plans to take their razor-edged recklessness across the world with eyes on Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America. Their mission: to build what they called “The Dirty Fingers Army”. They may be insane - but one listen and you’ll want to follow them down the rabbit hole too.

A band that dangerously teeters to the edge each and every time out – Dirty Fingers are lighting in a bottle threatening to do some serious damage.
