▼WV092: 鄭道元 Cheng Daoyuan - 旣 Apeiron

終則有始，盡則復生

Everything is nothing, and the ending is the beginning.

Fragments are embedded in contemporary life, from which we can not escape. The music of Taipei-based dark experimental sound activist Cheng Daoyuan is just such a journey through endless fragments, layers of sound textures and samples, building his own unique artistic vision between old-school post-industrial music and contemporary soundscapes. Dark ambient, harsh noise, glitch, gabber techno, digital distortion, ghostly vocals, pale but full of tension, "旣 Apeiron" comes from the abyss and goes into the future, reborn from the ashes, where the end is the beginning, invisible and without boundaries.

Previously released on cassette tape by Future Proof : 面向異日 in 2019, and now reissued by WV Sorcerer Productions as a double CD, 7" format trifold cover with obi, and a 24-page booklet of the artist's visual work. Including a feature appearance of Mong Tong on “幽示 Divulging” and 7 remixes from: Yearning Kru, YunHao, Wa?ste, A.P.R.A (破地獄 Scattered Purgatory), Nerve, Coalminer, and Torturing Nurse.

碎片，嵌入在當下生活之中，你我都無法逃脫。來自台北的黑暗實驗聲響活躍分子鄭道元的音樂，便是在無窮盡的碎片裡穿行，由無數聲音材質和採樣堆積起的聲音片層，在傳統後工業音樂和當代音景之間構築起屬於他自己的獨特風格。黑氛圍、粗噪音、錯音、硬蕊電子、數位扭曲音牆、幽靈般的人聲，蒼白卻又高壓，《旣 Apeiron》來自深淵，走入未來，從灰燼中不斷重生，終點即是起點，無形無界。

▼

"Waves of distortion crash into, and over one another; buried tones are barely visible in a dark sea of fuzz and decay, occasionally drifting towards the surface to groan...

...combining the paranoid digital tones with false reassurances of open spaces and natural tones. Haunted voices, cryptic announcements from tannoys and even bird sounds appear."

- Future Proof : 面向異日

Cheng Daoyuan is a multidisciplinary artist from Taiwan, engaging in various forms of creation including experimental sounds, visuals, and installations. His sonic expressions are based in dense, murky post-industrial textures, melding with diverse elements to sculpt a unique apocalyptic style, aiming to present the philosophical imagery of coexisting opposites, with the concept of the convergence of two distinct planes into a coherent form threading through his works.

In addition to being actively involved in the sound scene in Taiwan for many years, his sounds have been released internationally through albums, compilations, and remixes on multiple labels and platforms. In recent years, he has expanded his sonic aesthetics into the fields of multichannel audio, mixed media, and physical theater, presenting in venues such as art galleries, museums, and experimental spaces.

鄭道元是來自臺灣的多領域藝術家，創作涵括實驗聲響、影像與裝置等形式。他的聲音以混濁厚重的後工業質地為基底，並與各種不同元素揉合後形塑獨特的末日風格，試圖呈現對立共存的哲學意象，將一體兩面作為核心概念貫穿於作品。
除長年活躍於臺灣聲響場景外，他的聲音也以專輯、合輯及混音等形式發表於多國廠牌及平台，近年更將聲音美學拓展至多聲道、複合媒材及肢體劇場等領域，並於美術館、藝廊與實驗空間等場域呈現。

This may be a weird take, but from the opening notes I got this sort of 1970s giallo vibe from the album, like it’s the soundtrack to an uncanny film that exists only in our imagination. That vibe waxes and wanes as the album continues, but it never completely disappears… and the unsettling feeling is why I dig it so much. Ron Hogan
