Music

The organ trio is one of jazz’s most unique small groups.

Since the 1950s, this band format is known for being a dynamic powerhouse with its explosive energy, tremendous groove and wide harmonic pallet.

The Pierre Pradat Organ Trio carries forth the tradition by exploring timeless standards alongside original material. With more than a decade of collaborations together in Beijing behind them, these three musicians share a unique stage alchemy that shines through in this classic combo.

Female, independent singer-songwriter

The body is located on the Ludong Peninsula, and the soul has traveled with you all over the motherland Shenzhou. The two of them were judged on the stage, and under the seemingly crazy appearance, there was a delicate voice and a sweet sincerity. The works are simple and sincere, quiet and warm, and are mostly motivated by sudden motives - iQue comforts lost dreams, and metaphors are incomprehensible. I think I am crying, and then I want to praise all the creatures from flowers, birds, cordyceps.

Alien Radio (or to give our full name Alien Radio Revival) is a three-piece from the UK, Canada, and Cameroon. AAR began life with Steve Luke (vocals guitar, songwriter), Dan Gunn (bass vocals). We suffered line-up changes and enforced breaks due to Covid but now we're back with Dan taking over vocal duties and the multi-talented Ryan King in drums. We write and play our own original rock. Our music has been described as “heavy, dark, ano trippy" a mixture of classic (Sabbath Rush, Floyd) and modern progressive(Muse, Radiohead). It's classic rock. It's modern prog. It's heavy. lt's mellow. It's trippy. It's laid-back. It's in your face It's quiet. It's loud. It's slow. It's fast. It's rock from space.

"Southwest Wind" refers to the performance band or members coming from the southwest region of the motherland. About this time, listen to what they have to say:

It seems that everyone's imagination in the southwest area is different, some people think it is barbaric, others think it is mysterious. Imagine that there is no true or false, right or wrong. The imagination of the Southwest, like the imagination of this future and the universe, is full of infinite possibilities. The land may be gorgeous, it may be ordinary, it may not exist. But it's people's imagination that makes all the difference. Region is not an obstacle to our mutual understanding, it is the characteristics of the region that make us have living tentacles, and the moment different tentacles meet, the resonance we feel may be the meaning of existence. This time the resonance was "conspired with" by four Guizhou people, who carried the imprint of the southwest land on themselves and tried to experience the feeling of collision.

These four bands with Guizhou musicians may not be unique, but they long for an exchange without words.

- Shen Xingyu (small noise)

"The improvisation of a few Guizhou musicians contributed to a subtropical monsoon. With twisted guitars and southern poetry, spaced seasons and time, stubbornly blowing north, wind erodes reality. ”

- Old Moon (the dolphin disappeared)

It's raining in Beijing these days, and I'll open the windows in my small room a little bigger to make it less difficult for the southern atmosphere to enter. Does the familiar weather make you miss the familiar feeling even more, or the music? Or a conversation? I'm not sure, let all the reverie unveil in a week!

SCHOOL's guitar revival program for the second play! In this era of "Diqu" bands where "broken cans" (PGM) were prevalent, "good jump" seemed to be the basic criterion by which a band was judged. Although existence is reasonable, although we must look forward, we will still miss the original boiling, rough texture, step distortion, dancing fingers like song guitar rock, the unadorned, guitar bass drum three pieces, the great guitar rock era.

The theme of the guitar revival project is to invite bands of this texture to lead SCHOOL friends, especially those who have just entered the "pit" of live music, to experience the possibility of one more kind of music, it may not be very good, but it must make you taste endlessly. I also hope that on this night, the guitar can reappear in this era as the C position of rock music!
