        首曾在街頭傳唱，伴隨我們一起抗爭的謠曲，把憤怒與苦澀化為美的力量。

        在他們的歌裡，有臨屋區小孩和公共屋邨居民的生活盼願，老工人的淡然回眸，性工作者的日記殘章，對葬身建
        築工地的工人的思念，與工人家屬同哭的心，社會異議者的羞怯情歌，與及二十年前的廣場酷熱。

        Local grass root folk band “MiniNoise” has recently released their debut “So Nice”, including songs that
        has been sung on many street rallies. With the rustic but touching sound, they turned their fury and bitterness
        in life into beauty.

        MiniNoise writes almost everything; the wishes from the children in temporary housing area and people in
        public housing estates; the remembrance of retired worker; bits and pieces quoted from a sex worker's
        diary. MiniNoise also feels the tearing heart of families of the workers who died in the construction sites and the
        heat suspended twenty years ago in Tiananmen Square -- these are the songs of the dissidents.

        <MiniNoise> includes:
        B (vocal, guitar)
        Chan Wai Fat (bass guitar, guitar, background vocal)
        Lau Tze Bun (accordion)
        Yank Wang (ukulele, guitar)
        Edmund Leung (drums)

June - Chan Ning & Ah P

         所有門票經已售罄 (this show starts at 10pm)

        陳寧 + 阿p  文字音樂 風格練習 Exercise of Still Life

        文字：陳寧 (塵翎)  
        音樂：阿p (my little airport) 
        ***每位入場者將獲贈《風格練習》乙本

        六月下雨七月炎熱，然後，八月寧靜。然後，風格練習。

        香港作家陳寧向法國作家Raymond Queneau致敬之作。法國老先生聽完巴哈的賦格曲後，把音樂變奏的概念移植
        至文字，一則小故事可以幻化成九十九種不同的敘事風格。陳寧遙借此實驗精神，延續風格的變奏，在方塊文字裡
        述說一則又一則生活小故事。這次夥同獨立樂隊my little airport成員阿p，還原文字的音樂感，透過介乎旺角與法國
        之間的詩一般樂曲，映襯出字裡行間的節奏與沉默旋律。文字與音樂結合的實驗，跨媒體的練習，為的是擴闊創作
        的空間與可能性。 
  
        所有的練習，要旨在於練習，每一次都獨一無二，現場感受無可取代。

        It rains in June, it is very hot in July. Then, the quietness of August. And then, the exercises of style.

        Hong Kong writer Chan Ning pays tribute to French writer Raymond Queneau in her latest work " Les Exercises
        de style". Mr Queneau reflected on the variations of music after a Bach's fugue concert, which he later put into
        experiment in his own narration of a simple daily life story: one story in 99 different exercises of style. Chan
        Ning repeats the same sense of experimental spirit in her own writings in which she tries to tell trivial but
        significant stories in different possible ways. This time she works with the member of Hong Kong indie band My
        Little Airport Ah-P to bring forth the "music of writing". With his poetic music, Ah-P exposes the unspoken
        underlying rhythm and variations within written and spoken words. This is an experimental cross-over between
        music and literature, a multi-media exercise to expand the space and extent of these two-way expression
        and creation. Being present at the moment of exercise is the best way to experience the real spirit of "exercise
        of style".

June - SSonia

        
        SSonia熱愛音樂, 她少時最愛葉倩文、倫敦西區音樂劇跟迪士尼卡通; 直至十四歲, SSonia發現了Björk的音樂, 
        驚為天人, 當下, 她矢志成為一個唱作人。

        自始SSonia的音樂口味投向了英倫歌手及其他有名的唱作女歌手。陳綺貞、Craig Armstrong、Eva Cassidy、
        何韻詩、Singh Kaur及Tori Amos也是她學習的模範。

        SSonia知道音樂是不可強求, 只能在旁帶動。她努力學習, 不希望受不安控制。她推薦Julia Cameron著作的兩本書
        《The Artist’ Way》及《The Right to Write》給所有有抱負和想衝破圍牆, 活在當下的朋友。

        SSonia loves music. Her early influences were Sally Yeh, West End musicals and Disney cartoons. At around 14
        years old, SSonia discovered Björk and was totally blown away. At this point, she decided that she wanted to
        become a singer-songwriter.

        Since then, SSonia became drawn to music by British artists and other prominent female singer-songwriters. 
        These days, she cites Cheer Chen, Craig Armstrong, Eva Cassidy, HOCC, Singh Kaur and Tori Amos as her
        primary role models.

        SSonia knows that her role is to channel, and not to force new music to come. However, she is still learning how
        to trust the process and not give in to feelings of insecurity. She highly recommends Julia Cameron's
        books, especially “The Artist’s Way” and “The Right to Write”, to all aspiring artists and anyone else
        who wishes to tear down the walls of their fears and be truly alive.

March 三月 - Wilson Tsang

        Wilson Tsang曾永曦童年時從他母親那裡認識音樂,，也受到充斥八十年代的電子、搖滾及爵士流行音樂影響。偶然
        間接觸到另外一個音樂世界--John Zorn、Tom Waits和已拆夥的本地樂隊盒子的歌曲, 給他開闢了更闊的音樂空
        間。十年前的Wilson Tsang以創作劇場及錄像的聲音為主；直至2003年, 在友人的幫助下, 推出了首張大碟 “Stuck
        In Traffic”。以後他更專注創作能在台上表演的音樂歌曲。與維港唱片合作出版的第二張唱片 “Little Cold Red”，
        便是這方面努力的果實。Whale Song是Wilson Tsang（曾永曦）的第三張個人大碟，脫離了以往以歌曲為主導的一
        貫作風，取而代之的是單純對聲音及音樂本質的探索和記錄。

         

Wilson first learned music in his early childhood from his mother. Influence started from early 80's pop sound
        including rock, electronic and Jazz. Later by chance he was exposed to the more alternative world of music
        including John Zorn, Tom Waits as well as the disbanded local group The Box, that opened up his ear to a
        greater music language. For the last 10 years he had been more inclined in exploring sound for media such as
        theatres and video art until early 2003, with the help of a friend, he released his first solo CD "Stuck in
        Traffic" and since then he became more focused on making songs and music that he could "play on stage". The
        2nd album "Little Cold Red", released with Harbour Records, was a more in-depth collection of such effort.
        Disregard of his usual music style, with written songs as the main; “Whale Song”, his 3^rd album is a simple
        account and exploration to the sound and music itself.

March 三月 - Dr. Mellow

        Lolo聲線甜美, 讓人回味起燦爛陽光。
        Sonia是隊中的鍵琴手和歌手, 亦幫忙寫Dr Mellow樂隊介紹文字。

        Tak每次彈奏結他時也傾盡全力, 滲出陣陣眩目的光芒。
        當晚kubrick Friday Live還會邀請兩位客席樂手, 分別是Thomas--低音結他手、編曲家及作曲家;

        Kenny--色士風手、饒舌歌手及舞者。

        Gentle, Magical, never forced, but ever so strong,

        bringing together the messengers of lyrics and songs,

        from different walks in diverse thoughts.

        Her name is Music, the angel who in 2006 assembled

        Dr Mellow, a Hong Kong-based band comprising the souls below--They are all mellowers.

        Eddie prides himself on his self-acknowledged charisma & acoustic guitar, while constantly spreading
        his love for Cheer Chen, Tanya Chua & bossa nova. His humour is contagious, his fever very obvious!

        Lolo sings with sweet abandon, warmth & freedom, evoking the once forgotten rays of the sun.

        Sonja is keyboardist + second vocalist + the band member responsible for writing out the story of Dr Mellow.
