聆听

究竟是身体在聆听呢还是耳朵在聆听啊，难道耳朵不是身体的一部分吗？

究竟是我们在聆听呢还是在跳舞，难道我们不是已经一起唱出来了吗？

究竟是神经在聆听呢还是精神在聆听呢，这样问下去会变成神经病吗？

不要再说究竟了。

吹万吹万。

Chui Wan在2016年4月的欧洲巡演中排了一个新的作品。它没有在巴黎演成也没有在卡昂演成。现在总算是能在北京演了。一个一小时长的作品。有一点迷幻，但更像是醒来。

Chui Wan是一支摇滚乐队。成立于2010年。开始于燥眠夜的星期二晚间音乐实验。是北京的沉默低调摇滚场景中的一员。在兵马司出版了专辑《白夜》和《吹万》。成员各自还有其他活动：极简派钢琴、实验作曲、无输入源调音台反馈、客厅巡演、自由即兴……每个成员都对迷幻摇滚有自己的理解。

Chui Wan是一支迷幻摇滚乐队？吹万吹万吹万。

已经不是热血沸腾的年代了。更不会去随波逐流。聆听才会迷幻。迷幻就一起摇滚。摇滚是醒来啊。

Listening （聆听）

Ultimately, is it the body that listens, or the ear? Could it be that the ear isn't a body part?

Ultimately, are we listening or dancing? Could it be that we're singing together?

Ultimately, is it the nervous system listening, or the spirit? Does one go insane asking this question?

Let's not say "ultimately" again.

Chui Wan, Chui Wan.

In the course of their April 2016 Europe tour, Chui Wan rehearsed a new work. They couldn't perform it in Paris, nor in Caen. Finally, they're able to debut it in Beijing. It's a continuous, one-hour piece. It's a bit psychedelic, but more like an "awakening".

Chui Wan is a rock band. Formed in 2010. They started in the weekly, Tuesday-night Zoomin' Night experimental music performance series. They're part of Beijing's taciturn, low-profile rock scene. They've released two albums on Maybe Mars Records, White Night and Chui Wan. Their members are also active in other fields: minimalist piano, experimental composition, no-input mixer feedback, living room tours, free improvisation… every member has their own understanding of psychedelic rock.

Is Chui Wan a psychedelic rock band? Chui Wan Chui Wan Chui Wan.

We're already past the Burning Anger generation. Neither are we less likely to drift with the crowd. "Listening" is a psychedelic act. Psychedelia is about rocking together. Rock is to be waking. All in all.
