Mobile Source Code, Doumui International Festival
Mobile Source Code: Moving sounds through an ancient village Time has unwittingly brought us into an unknown and mysterious digital age. The tranquility of old villages and towns can serve as an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Three performing artists, Fenni, thruoutin, and Solent will venture to Songyang, Zhejiang Province to awaken a fresh breath of air through their electronic soundscapes. The trio will perform individual sets and then meld them together in a collaborative session at the end. We welcome the audience to fully immerse themselves in this experience on April 30th at the Dou Mi Ao Int'l Art Festival. It will be held in the 800-year-old town of Songyang. Participants will enter a parallel universe and experience electronic music under the stars. Three Beijing musicians with roots in Xi'an, the USA, and the UK will create a blend of East meets West by means of their music. We intend to give the audience a sense of mystery to complement the amazing scenery.
Artist Introductions:
Solent
Multi-instrumentalist based in the neo-capitalist urban sprawl of Beijing, China since 2008. Synthetic loops, samples and field recordings form the foundation of tracks, ideas which have been extracted from ambient, psychedelic, new age and drone. Solent has collaborated with a variety of platforms including labels such as Jingweir and Slow Pulse, Spittunes and the Bookworm Literary Festival, as well as taking part in performances curated by Impromptu including the inaugural “Yichang at Home” event.
thruoutin
American born electronic producer and multi-instrumentalist, thruoutin, has been based in China since 2009. His work varies from project to project, but often revolves around the combining of different genres with a focus on organic and digital sounds. He has extensively toured through North America and Asia; releasing music on several labels along the way. Most Recently he has put out work with Beijing labels RAN Music and Jingweir as well as performing on Boiler Room China and playing at festivals such as Wetware and Jiangbei.
Fenni
Fenni is a Beijing based, independent musician & sound artist. Her work stylistically focuses on experimental ambient, minimal techno, and glitch soundscapes. Listeners can be met with auditorial elements of micro-sounds, faint buzzes, downtempo beats, and a multitude of sonic fusion. Her live performances act to analyze the self and its relation to the ultimate purity of introspection. At the same time, there exists a continuously generated and destructive auditory inertia to her live shows. At the core of the material lies the voice; which gradually forms its own unique language and acoustic system. The subtle changes of sound collide in cavernous resonances to independently create abstract language concepts. The listener is invited to explore an isolationistic microcosm churning 5,000 feet below the earth.
