「搶耳音樂廠牌計劃 2023」音樂單位

5gjm999
5gjm999 成立於2020年夏天一個無聊的下午,突然很想吃在大埔中心樓梯轉角的生菜魚肉,於是發佈了第一首單曲〈生菜魚肉〉。5gjm999是主唱Venus的IG帳戶,她想不到更好的名字,便一直使用。由於懶得出門,Venus用logic pro x 與自己夾band。她使用電子琴和預設的drummer製作了不少歌曲,大部份的曲詞編混都是她一手包辦。歌曲圍繞著20代女生的三觀,訴說成長時遇到的衝擊。 風格不定,遊走在hip hop與dream-pop 之間。人如其名,總是不知道在做甚麼。
5gjm999 was formed in the summer of 2020 in a bored afternoon when a sudden craving for "lettuce and fish" from a snack shop in the corner of the staircase in Tai Po Centre. Then, her first single “Lettuce and Fish” was launched. The name "5gjm999" is the instagram account of the vocalist Venus, and she couldn't think of a better name, so she keeps using it. As she was too lazy to leave home, Venus used a logic pro X to play band with herself, and she produced a number of songs using an electric piano and a default drummer, and did most of the songwriting and mixing. The songs revolve around the perspectives of Gen Z girls and the shocks encountered when growing up. Her style is unpredictable, ranging between hip hop and dream pop. As her name suggests in Cantonese, she never knows what she's doing.
After Tales
〔鹿的尾巴嗖地揮動 - 獅子在後窮追不捨 - 浸沉在若即若離的微妙裏 - 月輪在梢端驀然目睹 - 獅子在子夜輕吻了馴鹿 〕 After Tales即:Danielle (主唱及節奏結他), Kit (主音結他), Thomas (貝斯手), Ken (鼓手) 2020年夏天四人於網上認識,各自所喜的風格雖南轅北轍卻殊途同歸——清新的聲線遇上日系跳躍的音色,再熔入歐美開闊的節拍及遊走無常的低頻,遂成渾然一體 為「甜蜜而清新的倔強」(聽眾所形容) 。 我們以廣東話感嘆秋去冬來,傷春悲秋之間還夾雜著仲夏蓄勢待發卻欲言又止的愁緒。After Tales希望能一直追逐童話,感動憂愁的耳朵。揮霍緣分,以音樂和應小鹿亂撞的冒失幻想。
"Yesterday I saw a lion kiss a deer" An enchanting line from the theme song of the movie "Begin Again"; magical yet subtly gruesome, somehow like the musical journey of the 4 hopeless dreamers. After Tales are: Danielle (vocal & rhythm guitarist), Kit (lead guitarist), Thomas (bassist) and Ken (drummer). The 4 randomly met on the internet in the summer of 2020, without knowing that the unremarkable encounter would lead them into a wonderland unbeknownst to them. Their musical styles might differ, but as long as they are together, they are able to tell the same story. The sugary vocals meet with the J-rock-influenced timbre of the guitar, and together they melt into the punchy drumbeats and frisky bass lines to create something that has been described as "refreshingly sweet and obstinately stubborn”. Using the fascinating Cantonese language, they write original songs about unrequited dreams, and the lovely melancholia of summertime. "After Tales" hopes to keep chasing after their fairy tales. They want to make the most out of the luck and blessings that they have been gifted with, and to use music and words to bring alive the reckless fantasies that they have been envisioning in their heads.
Ashi
2012年加入成為樂園小紅帽主唱,原名Ashley。其後以個人身份Ashi進行創作,曾推出〈早早睡〉及〈每一晚〉兩首治癒人心的作品。但Ashi不被風格所定義,近期積極發展電子曲風,以怪趣的聲音質感,展現她獨有世界觀。
Ashi joined in 2012 as the lead singer of band silhungmo, formerly known as Ashley. Later, she started her solo project and creat as Ashi, released two healing songs "早早睡" and "每一晚". But Ashi is not defined by style, and has been actively developing electronic music recently, showing her unique worldview with weird funny sound texture.
COPAK
COPAK於2018年成立,在2021年重組期間轉型新風格,2023年初組成現時陣容。現樂隊風格為Indie-pop、synth-pop為主,由主音Wing、結他手Billy、鼓手TszChing組成,於2021至2022間年頭分別推出單曲〈Floored〉及〈247〉,以及在2022年10月推出首張專輯《FM 74.2》。於2023年,嘗試採用90’s hip hop 及boom bap風格,並加入rap元素,與Luna Is A Bep合作推出單曲〈A380〉 。
COPAK formed in 2018, restarted with new genres during the reformation in 2021, had their latest line-up in 2023. It’s a indie pop, synth pop band, consists of Wing(vocals), Billy(guitar), Tszching(drummer). They have released two singles “Floored”, “247” from 2021 to 2022 and their first EP “FM 74.2” on October 2022. The latest single “A380” featuring with Luna Is A Bep, it has the 90s hip hop and boom bap vibe, first time of the band trying to put some rapping elements into their songs.
dorothy 劉君冬

dorothy 劉君冬的作品以創傷及倔強而叛逆的人生哲理為題,選擇相信「就抱緊偏激最尾仍然能成風」。她融合廣東歌及 alternative R&B 風格,以簡單的旋律、melody rap 及豐富的合成樂器編曲創造充滿視覺幻想的音樂。dorothy 曾在澳洲修讀爵士鼓及藝術,她嘗試把藝術概念融入音樂創作,讓筆下每首歌的音頻與視覺都被呈現為一體。回港五年間,dorothy 從事導演、美術指導及造型工作,曾參與超過50個與廣東歌相關的影像創作。她在 2022 年以獨立歌手身分推出〈綠野仙蹤〉。
dorothy 劉君冬 explores the themes of vulnerability and social identity with a stubborn, rebellious and unapologetic attitude by merging the genres of canto-pop and alternative R&B. Influenced by her background in Fine Art and her works as a music video Director, Art Director and Stylist, her songs paint an imaginative visual adventure by pairing a catchy hook line with a layered synth arrangement. dorothy completed an ATCL diploma in drums when she was 16. With a strong rhythmic sensibility, she enjoys incorporating melodic rap in her canto-pop songs. dorothy embarked her journey as an independent singer-songwriter in 2022 with her debut single Back from Oz.

sunwoojunga
sunwoojunga established her very unique position in Korean pop music scene. First of all, her music is not bound to any genres and music scene. She twists and mixes cliches of various genres such as Rock, Jazz, Pop, R&B, Hip-hop and even EDM. She has the freedom of overcoming and recreating those genres, resulting in creating her own characters. Her music cannot be defined in simple terms as mainstream or indie and even the word ‘experimental’ is not enough to describe her music. These days, “excellent vocal” means powerfully hitting the high notes at the climax and it has been considered as the measure of “great vocals”. sunwoojunga makes us reconsider this stereo-type view of “great vocals”. She mastered her vocal ability ins and outs. Her vocal maximizes the song’s composition and breaks the stereo-type with her free-spirited and non-conforming characteristics. She is proof that the vocal’s dramatic appeal is born from the junction of these. From this, it is not an exaggeration that she is the definition of a music artist who makes you experience the evolution of Korean pop music.

音樂單位介紹

鶴 The Crane

台灣另類R&B王子 鶴 The Crane ,本名林泰羽,從製作人走到幕前的全方位創作者,以新人身份入圍金曲獎最佳華語男歌手,作品結合了當代Urban、70年代另類R&B元素以及復古合成器聲響,與他儒雅俊美的風姿相互輝映,備受新世代樂迷追捧。
The Crane is a singer-songwriter/producer based in Taipei. Growing up in the times when R&B music blossomed, The Crane was influenced by music from all spectrums, ranging from Stevie Wonder, Radiohead and Frank Ocean. Leading him to create his own blend of Alternative R&B and Bedroom Pop, sprinkled with soul elements from the seventies.

Helsinki Lambda Club

Helsinki Lambda Club成立於2013年夏天,是由主唱橋本薰領軍的日本另類搖滾樂團。橋本薰的音樂根源深深扎根於70年代搖滾,一直延伸到現代獨立流行,結果創造出了一種音樂混合體,包含了車庫龐克的態度,以及新浪潮和迷幻的精神。他們的歌曲旋律極易上癮,歌詞輕狂有趣,實驗性的風格可以從陽光明媚的衝浪搖滾一瞬間變成完全不同的迷幻音樂,其音樂超越了類型和文化的界限。
他們已成為日本搖滾樂界不可替代的新勢力,曾參加各種音樂節,在各種大型場館演出,並巡迴演出到過香港、北京、上海和台灣等地。正如美國和英國的搖滾音樂能跨過語言隔閡受全世界愛戴,Helsinki Lambda Club的音樂也有著同樣的力量;讓聽眾感覺愉快和高興。
Formed in the summer of 2013, Helsinki Lambda Club is a Japanese alternative rock band led by vocalist Kaoru Hashimoto, whose musical roots go deep into 70's rock all the way to modern indie pop, resulting in a concoction of music that encompasses the attitude of garage punk, as well as the spirit of new wave and psychedelic. With highly addictive melodies, playful lyrics and experimental soundscapes that can morph from sunny surf rock into full on psychedelia on the next track, their music transcends borders of genre and culture. They have become an irreplaceable force in the Japanese rock scene, making performances at festivals and selling out large-scale venues, as well as touring in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai and Taiwan. Just as US and UK rock were embraced by the world regardless of language, the music of Helsinki Lambda Club holds the same power; to give listeners an elated, feel-good experience.

H 3 F

泰國少女殺手 H 3 F 樂隊,集 jazz、blues、soul、funk、pop於一身,以巧妙細膩又groovy的音樂同銷魂奔放的結他在泰國樂壇快速掘起,出道名曲〈How Can I〉被BTS 成員田柾國收錄在歌單之後,風芒更席捲亞洲,在YouTube被觀看超過五百萬次。
H 3 F, a Bangkok-based four-member band, is known for their unique blend of various music genres such as blues, R&B, jazz, soul, funk, and pop. Their first EP, "Cheesy Lyrics, Sloppy Groove," released in 2018 was a hit. All of the singles from the EP managed to secure a spot in the top three of Thailand's Cat Radio chart.

KIKI

泰國潛力股樂團 KIKI,經88rising radio欽點推薦後,人氣扶搖直上。女主唱Helen以柔美聲線融合R&B、pop、disco和soft rock風格,成團不久已參演多個音樂節和在日本巡演,擄獲大片粉絲。
KIKI, the Bangkok-based band, was formed by ex-bandmates— “Boss” and “Non” during the Covid19 lockdown in 2021. Two friends invited “Helen” to collaborate on this project at their home studio where Helen discovered her talent as a singer-songwriter for the first time. The group shared musical interests in alternative rock, pop, and funk, and started composing their first batch of songs combined with groovy bass lines, colorful synthesizers, hip hop, and lo-fi elements. The unique sounds made the group become one of the up-and-coming bands everyone should see live. KIKI gained a positive reputation and received critical acclaim from the audiences and critics.

FAZI 法茲

中國古城西安樂隊 FAZI 法茲,沿著 post-punk 及前衛搖滾脈絡,以直截了當的 krautrock式極簡節奏和條理縝密縝的樂章編排,憑著瞬間點燃觀眾情緒的現場實力,巡演足跡遍及英美歐亞,獲海外樂評高度讚賞。
FAZI is a band from Xian China, formed in 2010. Their music draws on the minimal rhythms of Krautrock and the abrasive rituals of post-punk. On stage, they're like a perpetual motion machine, churning out music that hits their audience in the heart and in the lungs, communicating a vibe that's lonely yet forbearing, simply and powerfully reaching straight to the heart.

CHANKA 陳嘉

香港唱作女聲 CHANKA 陳嘉,音樂天馬行空帶前衛民謠的氛圍與迷幻電音,以輕描淡寫的唱腔,唱出宇宙間的荒唐與怪誕。近期曝光率甚高,不但現身在《CHILL CLUB》和《Clockenflap》等舞台上,也登上美國紐約時代廣場上的巨型屏幕,成為《Spotify EQUAL》企劃代表歌手之一。
Independent singer-songwriter and producer CHANKA creates her music from ambient pop to electronic music. Her recent feature in Spotify’s worldwide programme “EQUAL” marked her international debut in the billboard of New York Times Square. Her futuristic and edgy music has brought her into various local stages and performances, as well as music festivals in HK (Clockenflap), Malaysia (South Gate Music Fest) and UK (The Great Escape). Along with her soothing vocals, it sparks chemistry with her unique soundtracks. Her delicate and intimate voice resonates with the inner stories of many.

音樂單位介紹

海島小輪

對於「海島小輪」來說,「如何介紹自己」已成為創團多年以來的一個課題。自稱「新派室樂」組合,也有人說他們的音樂像電影音樂。但基本上,無論寫的是移民潮、性少眾、氣候暖化或是藝術家的生命,他們演奏的都是一些受香港這個地方、這裡的人與物啟發而創作的純音樂。
說「海島小輪」是一隊演出隊伍,當然沒有錯。自2016年成立以來,團隊一直積極參與在香港和外地的演出。他們曾經跟不少本地具有特色的場地合作舉辦演出,足跡亦遍及澳門、台灣和日本沖繩等地。在新冠疫情期間,更進行了多次網上演出。
「海島小輪」也是一隊札根於創作和錄音室製作的組合。由2018年的《Crossings》開始,團隊維持約兩年推出一張原創專輯的進度。繼2020年推出,獲得多位本地樂評人熱烈推介的專輯《Telescope》之後,團隊於2022年推出第三個錄音室企劃《As if》,以兩張EP的形式將兩套不同主題、氣氛迴異的作品帶給觀眾。 團隊亦積極開拓跟不同藝術單位合作的可能性。在2018年推出首張專輯時,已經配上由樂隊RubberBand主音兼導演6號創作的短片電影,舉行了多媒體音樂會「《渡》音樂x影像航行」。最近更獲邀請,為香港藝術館的展覽「行行重行行」譜出樂章,與動畫、裝置或其他不同媒介作品連乘,並將相關樂曲結集於《As if - I. In-Between》這張EP之中。

假日貞操 Virgin Vacation

假日貞操是一隊由三男一女在職藝文人於2018年組成的本地實驗器樂樂隊。擅長利用現場即興的音樂演奏和具節奏感的編曲風格合成出迷幻的聲景。
若音樂就是對話的媒介,「假日貞操」的音樂便像是擁有兩個極端想法的人在嘗試溝通。一端是強調結構簡潔而具邏輯的編曲,近乎Krautrock的推進力,多變且連綿不絕的節奏旋律。而另一端則是不受任何法則拘束的混合自由爵士樂及即興新音樂的翻動,脫離調式音樂的概念,著重於即興奏樂結構性與非結構性之間 。
時而配合,時而對立 ,兩種不同的聲音在互動的一個音樂實驗。

Code

𝘾𝙤𝙙𝙚 源自於一群對迷你家居擺設展現出高度創意的業餘即沖咖啡愛好者在巨大壓力下創立的教育機構。人們通常會這樣形容 𝘾𝙤𝙙𝙚 : “這真是我聽過最激烈的太空廁所音樂了。”
“𝑨𝒉𝒂! 𝒌𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒗𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒆 𝒔𝒆𝒌𝒔。 ”“最高のロリポップ! ” “𝒍𝒂 𝒎𝒊𝒂 𝒑𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒂 𝒏𝒐𝒏 è 𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒂?”等等。 𝘾𝙤𝙙𝙚 的特色在於它在不斷變化的空間中展現其異於常人的整理能力,而其聽眾多是獨居者。

Cow Head

2014成立的香港樂隊,作品融合不同風格、用音樂化作文字。用純音樂來創作和展示是希望讓聽眾可以跳出歌詞的框框來欣賞、感受音樂。
沒有主唱的原因,是因為我們覺得每一位聽眾就是主唱,透過演奏我們的音樂,經過大家的感覺、回憶在大家心中唱出。樂隊成員包括: 結他手 (Simon)、結他手 (Ryan)、低音結他手 (Fatty)、小提琴手 (Mag)、鍵琴手 (Aaron)、敲擊樂手 (Lok)。
樂隊曾於多個活動演出,較大型的本地薑周末音樂節、西九自由約、銀鑛灣沙灘音樂節等,亦曾到上海出席中國大型音樂節 - 太湖迷笛音樂節。 另外亦會於街頭表演,務求讓更多人能夠聆聽、細味我們的音樂。

音樂單位介紹

「搶耳音樂廠牌計劃 2023」音樂單位

5gjm999
5gjm999 成立於2020年夏天一個無聊的下午,突然很想吃在大埔中心樓梯轉角的生菜魚肉,於是發布了第一首單曲<生菜魚肉>。5gjm999是主唱Venus的IG帳戶,她想不到更好的名字,便一直使用。
由於懶得出門,Venus用logic pro x 與自己夾band。她使用電子琴和預設的drummer製作了不少歌曲,大部份的曲詞編混都是她一手包辦。歌曲圍繞著20代女生的三觀,訴說成長時遇到的衝擊。 風格不定,遊走在Hip Hop與Dream Pop 之間。人如其名,總是不知道在做甚麼。 

After Tales
由 Danielle (主音 & rhythm結他), Kit (lead結他), Thomas (Bass手), Ken (鼓手) 組成。2020年夏天 4人於網上認識 各自所喜的風格雖南轅北轍 卻殊途同歸 — 清新的聲線 遇上日系跳躍的音色 再熔入歐美開闊的節拍 及遊走無常的低頻 遂成渾然一體 為「甜蜜而清新的倔強」(聽眾所形容)。 
我們以廣東話感嘆秋去冬來 傷春悲秋之間還夾雜著仲夏蓄勢待發卻欲言又止的愁緒。
Ashi

2012年加入成為樂園小紅帽主唱,原名Ashley. 其後以個人身份Ashi進行創作,曾推出《早早睡》及《每一晚》兩首治癒人心的作品。但Ashi不被風格所定義,近期積極發展電子曲風,以怪趣的聲音質感,展現她獨有世界觀。
COPAK

COPAK於2018年成立,在2021年重組期間轉型新風格,2023年初組成現時陣容。現樂隊風格為Indie pop, synth pop為主,由主音Wing、結他手Billy、鼓手TszChing組成,於2021至2022間年頭分別推出單曲”Floored”及“247”,以及在2022年10月推出首張專輯”FM 74.2”。於2023年,嘗試採用90s hip hop 及boom bap風格,並加入Rap元素,與Luna Is A Bep合作推出第一首單曲”A380”
dorothy 劉君冬

dorothy 劉君冬的作品以創傷及倔強而叛逆的人生哲理為題,選擇相信「就抱緊偏激最尾仍然能成風」。她融合廣東歌及 alternative R&B 風格,以簡單的旋律、melody rap 及豐富的合成樂器編曲創造充滿視覺幻想的音樂。dorothy 曾在澳洲修讀爵士鼓及藝術,她嘗試把藝術概念融入音樂創作,讓筆下每首歌的音頻與視覺都被呈現為一體。回港五年間,dorothy 從事導演、美術指導及造型工作,曾參與超過50個與廣東歌相關的影像創作。她在 2022 年以獨立歌手身分推出《綠野仙蹤》。
GDJYB 雞蛋蒸肉餅
演出嘉賓

GDJYB 雞蛋蒸肉餅 ——— 為香港女子樂隊,自2012年起,隊員嘗試於數字搖滾中加入民謠元素,烘焙出新音樂類型算術民謠。樂隊曾獲邀參與冰島Airwaves音樂節、澳洲阿得萊德Ozasia、美國Noisepop、新加坡Laneway、香港Clockenflap、日本東京Synchronicity、南韓光州SoundPark、台灣大港開唱等國際性音樂節的演出,於2017年更獲得台灣金音獎海外創作音樂獎及入圍台灣金曲獎最佳樂團。最新推出的EP《SQUARECLE》,指出人生沒有事實與真相,只有角度;可以是方,也可以是圓。

「搶耳音樂廠牌計劃 2023」音樂單位

Andro Yip
Andro 的名字取自於 “Androgynous” 意思是雌雄同體,他相信性別是流動的,而同時亦能夠流動於旋律當中,打破大眾對男生情歌的固有印象,展現男生的柔弱一面。Andro以流行樂作為基底,創作上融入了R&B等不同元素,歌曲上充滿着不同的性別氣質,聲音堅定而溫柔,旋律脆弱中帶點力量,以個人的經歷為主軸,剖白內心世界,創作自己的音樂日記。
The name “Andro” comes from “Androgynous”. It means a person having both masculine and feminine characteristics. Andro believes that gender fluidity coincide within music or rhythm and he is breaking the pre-existing assumption of masculinity in male with his music. Andro is putting different elements or styles such as R&B in his music based on pop style. Andro is empowered by his vulnerability and his music are strong but tender and vulnerable at the same time. Andro writes his songs with his own experience and expressing his inner feelings through music.
Emmahotel
Emmahotel的音樂風格深受城市生活的影響,反映了現代人在快節奏的生活中所面臨的各種情感和矛盾。他們的音樂帶有一種寂寞和憂傷的氛圍,這是對現代社會中人與人之間疏離感的一種回應和表達。 由主音兼琴手Nel、結他手兼貝斯手Ernest,以及鼓手Bill組成。他們的音樂融合了多種風格,包括搖滾、流行、電子和實驗音樂,創造出獨具特色的聲音。 同時Emmahotel希望人聲能夠成為其中一種傳遞聲音的媒界,融合在歌曲中,與其他樂器演奏產生共鳴。他們的音樂不僅僅是單一風格的表現,而是多元化的音樂形式讓聽眾可以完整地感受所有聲音。
Emmahotel's music style is deeply influenced by urban life and reflects the various emotions and contradiction that modern people face in their fast-paced lives. Their music has a lonely and melancholic atmosphere, which is a response and expression of the alienation between people in modern society. The band consists of lead vocalist and keyboardist Nel, guitarist and bassist Ernest, and drummer Bill. Their music combines various styles, including rock, pop, electronic and experimental music, creating a unique sound. At the same time, Emmahotel hopes that vocals can become one of the media to deliver the sound, blending into the songs and resonating with other instruments. Their music is not just a representation of a single style, but a diverse form of music that allows listeners to fully experience all sounds.
MAIA 慶孫
MAIA 慶孫從小接觸不同風格種類的音樂,在音樂薰陶下成長,現在是一位流行/R&B 歌手和詞曲創作人,立志於為她音樂旅途上的相遇者賦予能量和快樂。 在洛杉磯獲得表演藝術學位,並在當地工作豐富人生經歷後,她回到香港,透過「面對面」 發表了〈小〉。她希望憑藉第一首單曲〈Breakin' Chains〉,通過自己的聲音和能量,表達她作為混血兒對香港這成長之地的愛,為促進本地音樂的多樣性出一分力。
Growing up with a variety of musical influences, MAIA is a Pop/R&B singer and songwriter who is determined to empower and celebrate whoever crosses paths with her music. After graduating with a performing arts degree and working in Los Angeles, she released《小》, a part of the songwriting project 'Face-to-Face' back in Hong Kong. With her first single 《Breakin' Chains》, she hopes her sound and energy can promote diversity in local music, as well as shine love to her biracial roots.
Ragpickers 拾荒客
二零一四年,Michael 和Himsonz 以雙主音組合的形式,囊括多個大專歌唱比賽冠軍。為將音樂帶到另一層次,二人決定於2020年組成樂隊Ragpickers 拾荒客 ,並加上鍵盤手Watergold、結他手Shroom、低音結他手Jerry及鼓手Po,將R&B的氛圍和hip hop的節奏元素加入於Cantopop 之中,塑造一個專屬拾荒客的藍色領域,讓來自不同地域的樂迷瞬間忘記生於現實的愁緒,一起共渡迷幻。
In 2014, Michael and Himsonz started as a duo group and won a couple of inter-university singing competitions. After deciding to take their music to the next level, Ragpickers was then formed in 2020 by adding keyboardist (Watergold), guitarist (ShroomNg), bassist (Jerry) and drummer (Po) to the current line up. Ragpickers’ music is a mixture of R&B, hip hop and Cantopop. With such moody vibe, they hope their unique style of music will give audiences something refreshing, bringing a new form of Cantopop to the world. Let’s enjoy the psychedelic ride!
Turbulent

各位旅客請注意,我們的旅途將會遇上一段不穩定的氣流。Turbulent是一股由5個人衝撞出來的音樂激流,包含着變幻莫測、洶湧動盪的風格和氣魄。這股激流以情感作水,搖滾作風,揉合磅礡的空間感和澎湃的節奏感。最終氣流會譜奏出怎樣的氣象圖,我們還在飄盪不定的音樂亂流中持續探索。那麼,祝你有趟充滿起伏的音樂旅程。

「搶耳音樂廠牌計劃 2023」音樂單位

before the night ends
before the night ends是香港的一隊以dream-pop為主要風格的樂隊。於2021年成立,主音梁子希望透過這個音樂計劃作自我紀錄,兼討好女朋友。隨著時間推移,加上不同的演出經驗和來自觀眾的喜愛,成為這座城市的浪漫代表及創造更多讓人陶醉的音樂也變成了before the night ends的存在意義之一。目前成員為梁子(主音/結他)、Jeff(鍵琴)、Kim(結他)、Kuma(貝斯)及Kin(鼓手)。目前已推出的廣東歌單曲共六首,包括你是一片雲、short vacation、輕不著地、生命中的美好再會、疊疊及保持浪費。
Esther Wu
Esther Wu 是香港獨立創作歌手、作曲人及聲音藝術創作者。她的作品包括電影/電視劇配樂,樂器寫作與電子音樂、跨媒體(影像、場景設計、交互式媒體)以及聲音裝置。 她熱愛探索不同類型音樂的邊界及各種媒介。到目前為止,她的歌曲主要包含電子音樂、氛圍音樂,亦有受金屬、迷幻搖滾和爵士樂影響。她期望將來嘗試寫不同樂器及歌手組合,跟多些不同的音樂單位合作。 最近她發行了廣東話單曲《黑雀與白紙》和《邊緣舞》,並且與其他歌曲 (“Jungles”, “Random12”, “Neo Tereza”) 一起演出於搶耳Gig On音樂節 2023。她亦在發展爵士樂歌手的方向,跟不同的爵士樂單位合作。
未來日記 Future Diary
香港獨立音樂廠牌未來日記Future Diary 於2023年成立,由成員JAMIEZ與RVA 製作以Pop R&B, Soul R&B 及Urban 等音樂元素為主軸的作品,作品主題圍繞着成長、自身關係與都市人的孤寂,在抒發鬱悶與生活情愁之間留一點點陪伴,邀請樂迷好好擁抱彼此、記錄自己,然後將日記裏的願望都一一寫成現實,"Make Future Present"。 JAMIEZ 章尾而 唱作歌手|時裝設計師|造型師 JAMIEZ 由十四歲起,受民謠曲風影響,以木結他創作了她的第一首歌,她療癒又挑逗的聲線,捕捉了當代女性獨有的姿態。她其後吸收了爵士樂、靈魂樂的養分,持續用不同方式創作。2021年開始亦以Fashion Designer 及Stylist 身份活躍於音樂圈。 RVA 太陽 音樂製作人|唱作/說唱歌手|視覺設計師 2022年RVA aka. 太陽以獨立音樂製作人歌手身份再次發佈新作品,寫有以Electro Pop & Melodic Rap 為主軸的廣東歌《月舞之告別》及《修羅道》,並在2023年開始創作Pop R&B 歌曲。他以辨識度高的聲線、獨有台風及發人深思的歌詞為聽眾留下別樹一幟的印象。
蟻民 ngaiman
蟻民於2021年成團,我們認為音樂就是隨著感覺流動的產物。以音樂表達自己當下的感覺,也許就是我們的宗旨。對我們而言,每首歌曲都是一種界限上的挑戰,把音樂當作分子料理,這一切未知的答案都成爲我們的「興奮劑」。蟻民藉著破格和迷幻的節奏,讓觀衆投入慶典的氣氛當中。
Ngaiman was established in 2020, we believe that music is simply a flow of state. Expressing the emotions at the moment would be the essence of our music. We love playing with musical boundaries while treating the process of making music as molecular gastronomy. Afterall, the strange unknowns become the "stimulant" of our creative journey. While playing with the unconventional and psychedelic rhythm, Ngaiman successfully allows the audience to dive into the spirit of celebration.
sunwoojunga
演出嘉賓
sunwoojunga established her very unique position in Korean pop music scene. First of all, her music is not bound to any genres and music scene. She twists and mixes cliches of various genres such as Rock, Jazz, Pop, R&B, Hip-hop and even EDM. She has the freedom of overcoming and recreating those genres, resulting in creating her own characters. Her music cannot be defined in simple terms as mainstream or indie and even the word ‘experimental’ is not enough to describe her music. These days, “excellent vocal” means powerfully hitting the high notes at the climax and it has been considered as the measure of “great vocals”. sunwoojunga makes us reconsider this stereo-type view of “great vocals”. She mastered her vocal ability ins and outs. Her vocal maximizes the song’s composition and breaks the stereo-type with her free-spirited and non-conforming characteristics. She is proof that the vocal’s dramatic appeal is born from the junction of these. From this, it is not an exaggeration that she is the definition of a music artist who makes you experience the evolution of Korean pop music.

CARSICK CARS
演出嘉賓
Carsick Cars成⽴於2005年,由主唱/結他張守望、低音結他手李維思和⿎⼿李⻘組成。他們的歌曲在噪⾳結他和極簡動態之間,混合著粗礪的⾳⾊以及硬朗的開放和弦,呈現出⼀種探索性與破碎感,在爆炸性的回授中,優美⼜能在瞬間穿透噪⾳牆——他們完美地繼承了另類⾳樂美學奠基⼈的精神遺產。在⼗餘年的聲⾳探索中,他們嘗試了更豐富的器樂演奏,繼續探索著傳統搖滾三⼤件所能創造的各種可能性。
Logic Lost

音樂單位介紹

鶴 The Crane

鶴 The Crane 的音樂歷練豐富,曾以本名林泰羽擔任多位歌手巡演樂手及製作人,使其 2019 年、2020 年發表單曲〈Monday Girl〉、〈LIMO〉、〈I Love You More (than adore)〉初試啼聲,即以獨到的音樂風格與成熟的創作思路,迷倒眾多聽眾,成為華語備受矚目的新星,並於 2021 年御風飛入新樂園 Forbidden Paradise。
出身台北的鶴 The Crane,人如其名鶴立於一處獨特的音樂河口交界,在另類 R&B 與合成器聲響的簇擁下翩翩起舞,於西方元素與東方視野融會下乘風翱翔。成長於節奏藍調盛行的千禧年,其創作曲風多以當代 Urban 結合七〇年代靈魂樂元素,時如夕景餘暉浸潤感官,時如紛飛晨雪通澈寧靜。
2022 年鶴 The Crane 發行首張 EP〈鶴園〉,盡顯全方位音樂功底,從其對於生活的觀察與感觸出發,拼貼變幻萬千的音樂元素,兼容私己敘事與遼闊格局,盤旋出自成一格的奇幻聽覺世界與恣意氛圍,讓人不自覺沉浸其中,隨之遨遊;其中收錄的〈拉麵公子〉一曲更入圍金音獎最佳另類流行歌曲獎。 同年年底,蓄勢多時的鶴 The Crane 推出個人首張專輯《TALENT》,彷彿一幅當下原真的靜態截圖,也是集其 28 年成長歲月的奇幻錄像。作為氣宇軒昂的宣告之作,鶴 The Crane 一如往常地包辦音樂製作,並幾乎編寫全數曲目。專輯邀集眾多樂手進行真實樂器錄製,並在鶴 The Crane 精雕細琢的製作下,揉和多種音樂元素,流暢承載耽溺與節制共存的歌詞,完整呈現其創作特色。 一氣呵成、工法熟稔的首張專輯,讓鶴 The Crane 以他獨具的浪漫優雅展翅,奔飛出嶄新的音樂軌跡,將他的音樂抬升至新的雲層,自在探索無邊無際的音樂領空,在樂壇持續捲起旋風。

Helsinki Lambda Club

他們的歌曲旋律極易上癮,歌詞輕狂有趣,實驗性的風格可以從陽光明媚的衝浪搖滾一瞬間變成完全不同的迷幻音樂,其音樂超越了類型和文化的界限。
Helsinki Lambda Club成立於2013年夏天,是由主唱橋本薰領軍的日本另類搖滾樂團。橋本薰的音樂根源深深扎根於70年代搖滾,一直延伸到現代獨立流行,結果創造出了一種音樂混合體,包含了車庫龐克的態度,以及新浪潮和迷幻的精神。
他們已成為日本搖滾樂界不可替代的新勢力,曾參加各種音樂節,在各種大型場館演出,並巡迴演出到過香港、北京、上海和台灣等地。正如美國和英國的搖滾音樂能跨過語言隔閡受全世界愛戴,Helsinki Lambda Club的音樂也有著同樣的力量;讓聽眾感覺愉快和高興。

H 3 F

泰國少女殺手 H 3 F 樂隊,集 jazz、blues、soul、funk、pop於一身,以巧妙細膩又groovy的音樂同銷魂奔放的結他在泰國樂壇快速掘起,出道名曲〈How Can I〉被BTS 成員田柾國收錄在歌單之後,風芒更席捲亞洲,在YouTube被觀看超過五百萬次。

KIKI

泰國潛力股樂團 KIKI,經88rising radio欽點推薦後,人氣扶搖直上。女主唱Helen以柔美聲線融合R&B、pop、disco和soft rock風格,成團不久已參演多個音樂節和在日本巡演,擄獲大片粉絲。

FAZI 法茲

中國古城西安樂隊 FAZI 法茲,沿著 post-punk 及前衛搖滾脈絡,以直截了當的 krautrock式極簡節奏和條理縝密縝的樂章編排,憑著瞬間點燃觀眾情緒的現場實力,巡演足跡遍及英美歐亞,獲海外樂評高度讚賞。
FAZI is a band from Xian China, formed in 2010. Their music draws on the minimal rhythms of Krautrock and the abrasive rituals of post-punk. On stage, they're like a perpetual motion machine, churning out music that hits their audience in the heart and in the lungs, communicating a vibe that's lonely yet forbearing, simply and powerfully reaching straight to the heart.

CHANKA 陳嘉

香港唱作女聲 CHANKA 陳嘉,音樂天馬行空帶前衛民謠的氛圍與迷幻電音,以輕描淡寫的唱腔,唱出宇宙間的荒唐與怪誕。近期曝光率甚高,不但現身在《CHILL CLUB》和《Clockenflap》等舞台上,也登上美國紐約時代廣場上的巨型屏幕,成為《Spotify EQUAL》企劃代表歌手之一。
Independent singer-songwriter and producer CHANKA creates her music from ambient pop to electronic music. Her recent feature in Spotify’s worldwide programme “EQUAL” marked her international debut in the billboard of New York Times Square. Her futuristic and edgy music has brought her into various local stages and performances, as well as music festivals in HK (Clockenflap), Malaysia (South Gate Music Fest) and UK (The Great Escape). Along with her soothing vocals, it sparks chemistry with her unique soundtracks. Her delicate and intimate voice resonates with the inner stories of many.

ALL EARS WEEKEND  - 《Instrumental Music Night》

《Instrumental Music Night》有多個本地器樂單位包括電子jazz fushion樂團 CODE、糅合多樣曲風的 COW HEAD 、實驗器樂樂隊 Virgin Vacation 和新派室樂組合 海島小輪,以音樂符化作畫面讓聽眾細心欣賞

日期:7月1日(星期六)
時間:晚上7時
地點:留白 Livehouse
演出單位:海島小輪、Virgin Vacation、Code、Cow Head

音樂單位介紹

海島小輪

說「海島小輪」是一隊演出隊伍,當然沒有錯。自2016年成立以來,團隊一直積極參與在香港和外地的演出。他們曾經跟不少本地具有特色的場地合作舉辦演出,足跡亦遍及澳門、台灣和日本沖繩等地。在新冠疫情期間,更進行了多次網上演出。
對於「海島小輪」來說,「如何介紹自己」已成為創團多年以來的一個課題。自稱「新派室樂」組合,也有人說他們的音樂像電影音樂。但基本上,無論寫的是移民潮、性少眾、氣候暖化或是藝術家的生命,他們演奏的都是一些受香港這個地方、這裡的人與物啟發而創作的純音樂。
「海島小輪」也是一隊札根於創作和錄音室製作的組合。由2018年的《Crossings》開始,團隊維持約兩年推出一張原創專輯的進度。繼2020年推出,獲得多位本地樂評人熱烈推介的專輯《Telescope》之後,團隊於2022年推出第三個錄音室企劃《As if》,以兩張EP的形式將兩套不同主題、氣氛迴異的作品帶給觀眾。 團隊亦積極開拓跟不同藝術單位合作的可能性。在2018年推出首張專輯時,已經配上由樂隊RubberBand主音兼導演6號創作的短片電影,舉行了多媒體音樂會「《渡》音樂x影像航行」。最近更獲邀請,為香港藝術館的展覽「行行重行行」譜出樂章,與動畫、裝置或其他不同媒介作品連乘,並將相關樂曲結集於《As if - I. In-Between》這張EP之中。

假日貞操 Virgin Vacation

若音樂就是對話的媒介,「假日貞操」的音樂便像是擁有兩個極端想法的人在嘗試溝通。一端是強調結構簡潔而具邏輯的編曲,近乎Krautrock的推進力,多變且連綿不絕的節奏旋律。而另一端則是不受任何法則拘束的混合自由爵士樂及即興新音樂的翻動,脫離調式音樂的概念,著重於即興奏樂結構性與非結構性之間 。
假日貞操是一隊由三男一女在職藝文人於2018年組成的本地實驗器樂樂隊。擅長利用現場即興的音樂演奏和具節奏感的編曲風格合成出迷幻的聲景。
時而配合,時而對立 ,兩種不同的聲音在互動的一個音樂實驗。

Code

𝘾𝙤𝙙𝙚 源自於一群對迷你家居擺設展現出高度創意的業餘即沖咖啡愛好者在巨大壓力下創立的教育機構。人們通常會這樣形容 𝘾𝙤𝙙𝙚 : “這真是我聽過最激烈的太空廁所音樂了。”
“𝑨𝒉𝒂! 𝒌𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒗𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒆 𝒔𝒆𝒌𝒔。 ”“最高のロリポップ! ” “𝒍𝒂 𝒎𝒊𝒂 𝒑𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒂 𝒏𝒐𝒏 è 𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒂?”等等。 𝘾𝙤𝙙𝙚 的特色在於它在不斷變化的空間中展現其異於常人的整理能力,而其聽眾多是獨居者。

Cow Head

沒有主唱的原因,是因為我們覺得每一位聽眾就是主唱,透過演奏我們的音樂,經過大家的感覺、回憶在大家心中唱出。樂隊成員包括: 結他手 (Simon)、結他手 (Ryan)、低音結他手 (Fatty)、小提琴手 (Mag)、鍵琴手 (Aaron)、敲擊樂手 (Lok)。
2014成立的香港樂隊,作品融合不同風格、用音樂化作文字。用純音樂來創作和展示是希望讓聽眾可以跳出歌詞的框框來欣賞、感受音樂。
樂隊曾於多個活動演出,較大型的本地薑周末音樂節、西九自由約、銀鑛灣沙灘音樂節等,亦曾到上海出席中國大型音樂節 - 太湖迷笛音樂節。 另外亦會於街頭表演,務求讓更多人能夠聆聽、細味我們的音樂。

Gordon Flanders

出身香港,剛於日本學成歸來的24歲R&B歌手Gordon Flanders,自2019年開始創作,短短近三年的時間,在YouTube、StreetVoice等線上平台推出不同作品,如〈Stone Cold〉、〈Never Meant to Hurt You〉,與香港饒舌新銳TIAB合作的〈404 Not Found〉等等,迅速累積超過五百萬流量。
2022回港後受不同音樂人邀請參與幕後工作,先後為洪嘉豪、JayFung、LollyTalk 等作曲及監製,其中《污糟兒》更獲得903專業推介及Chill Club推介第一位。

丟萊卡

次年蘇聯回收太空艙,萊卡在大氣層化為灰燼。
1957年,“伴侶2號”人造衛星搭載流浪狗萊卡飛向太空。繞地第四圈,萊卡死於高溫。
丟萊卡Wasted Laika,中文搖滾樂隊,難聽波普冉冉新星,噩夢流行偶像團體。 為了慶典中被消耗和遺棄的。
