Jackson Garland
Jackson Garland has been performing music in Beijing since 2003. For two years he was a member of rock band Handsome Black, and is a current member of space/post rock group RandomK(e). His solo music combines a variety of elements, including live looping of traditional and non-traditional instruments, throat singing, field recordings and prepared samples constructed and layered to create deep sound explorations.
杰克逊·加兰
杰克逊·加兰从2003年开始在北京表演,这两年来,他曾参加摇滚乐队Handsome Black,目前是太空/后摇团体RandomK(e)的成员。他的音乐包含各种元素,包括各种传统与非传统乐器的现场声音重复播放,喉音歌唱,田野录音或是事先准备好,用来探索低音极限的取样。

RandomK(e)
Richard Todd - 吉他、主唱
Adam Pillsbury - 贝司
Jon Campbell - 鼓
Jackson Garland - Loops、效果、大贝司/低音提琴、和声
如果用后摇滚,后朋克,迷幻摇滚,前卫摇滚,电子化摇滚,噪音探索和太空摇滚等这些风格和标签同时来形容一个乐队,你大概会觉得惊奇或者觉得写这个介绍的人很不靠谱。但是,这是事实,这些标签和元素你都可以在RandomK(e)乐队的音乐中找到印记,但是这并不是一个多重元素的简单结合的“乱”乐队,RandomK(e)的音乐正是这些元素恰到好处的中和体。但并不能如此简单的解构一个乐队的音乐,标签只是在对乐队粗略分类的时候有些作用,适合自己的音乐,还是需要自己的耳朵来决定。
来自不同国家的乐手,2004年在北京组成RandomK(e)乐队。现在,RandomK(e)活跃在北京的各种演出场地。也许正因为不同乐手的联合,给这支乐队注入了如此多的元素。主音吉他Richard Todd给乐队带来了后朋克元素。Jackson Garland演奏低音提琴并用笔记本、效果器给乐队带来了电子音效和小噪音。贝司手Adam Pillsbury有着非凡的演奏能力以及大师风范。鼓手Jon Campbell现场演出时有着惊人的能量,他不仅是一位优秀的鼓手,也是成功的演出策划人。
In initially describing any band we industry types inevitably fall back on the use of generic labels; Tortoise were ‘post-rock’, Jefferson Airplane ‘acid rock’ and Coldplay ‘incontinence-core’. Genres are unavoidable and generally helpful. But once in a while bands pop up that defy genres or, at the very least, incorporate ideas from so many different genres in their music that pigeonholing becomes impossible. RandomK(e) are one such a band. Magazine writers desperately searching for that one perfect adjective that forever pins them in place have described RandomK(e) as everything; post-rock, post-punk, stoner rock, angry hippies, mellow punks, lao wai, post-lao wai, noise rockers and dubby krautrockers with unconscious Shellac leanings. They’ve even been called ’slippery bastards’. All of these are perfectly accurate descriptions… until the next song starts.
Formed in 2004, RandomK(e) are quite possibly the burliest group of dudes ever to assemble on a Beijing stage…ever. The band benefits from the wildly disparate musical backgrounds of its constituent parts. Vocalist/ Guitarist Richard Todd brings slabs of punk and DIY/ post-punk to the party, despite singing like a down-to-earth Ian Gillan with emphysema; Bassist Adam Pillsbury plays his instrument like the bastard child of Bootsy Collins and Charles Mingus; double-bassist/ laptop terrorist/ gadget fiddler/ knob twiddler general Jackson Garland adds unobtrusive electronic textures to the music that you may only notice by their absence and while drummer Jon Campbell’s hair screams Grateful Dead, his beats can whisper Buddy Rich or wail Bill Ward.

水陆观音:
一个有关声音、音乐、艺术和环境的系列交流活动。
2005年6月创办,每周二晚上免费入场。一个向实验/即兴音乐家、声音艺术家开放的交流平台。包容来自不同背景的表演者,鼓励自由即兴和实验探索,力图促成更多的合作,激发表演者和观众的想象力,并混淆他们之间的区别。它延续观音唱片的宗旨–追求精神性的实验音乐和影像,追求表演和环境的沟通统一,探讨、促进新音乐的生态环境。
观:动词,观察,观看,认知,体会;
音:名词,声音,音乐,信息,存在。
