中華迷幻實驗音樂合輯
A Chinese Underground Psychedelic & Experimental Music Compilation

集中國各地十組迷幻搖滾樂隊和實驗音樂人的優秀作品,曲目總時長超過兩小時,展現中國地下獨立音樂新風景,帶你徜徉於虛實之境間。
Featuring the selected works of ten psychedelic bands and experimental musicians from all over China, including veteran musicians and new names, with a total length of over two hours. This compilation presents a new landscape of Chinese underground music, a journey through the realm of reality and imaginary.



2017年5月的端午節,我和二嗲萌(tata)一起舉辦了第一期三角迷幻祭,自此三角迷幻祭已經斷斷續續走過了四個年頭。以長三角為據點,與來自全國各地零星的迷幻樂隊一起,呈現了一場場迷幻風格為主的演出,受到一批前衛迷幻樂迷的青睞。之前單單只是為了主辦具有自身風格傾向的演出,也許以前也曾設想過做一個獨立廠牌,可是在數字流媒體時代,感覺有些不合時宜。2021年隨著多數樂隊駐紮的音樂網站蝦米的倒閉,似乎對資本控制下的音樂流媒體徹底失去了信心,所以希望以這種更加具有存在感的實體形式,從音樂到封面設計,重新回歸唱片的本來面目。

「老子西遊,關令尹喜望見有紫氣浮關,而老子果乘青牛而過也。」這是成語「紫氣東來」的典故,意味著祥瑞的征兆。專輯的英文名稱「Purple Haze From East」里的「Purple Haze」便是為了向Jimi Hendrix為代表的60年代的迷幻精神致敬,來自21世紀的東方大地的現代音樂人對迷幻文化本源的敬意。

經過迷幻祭幾年的時間,有些老樂隊沈寂了,又有些新樂隊浮出水面。一些解散的樂隊,其中成員又組了新的陣容,細胞分裂成更多的迷幻樂隊,或者有些成員開始單飛玩起了個人項目。這個合集里既有一些知名樂隊的作品,也有些不知名音樂人的精彩之作。當我收到合集中各個樂隊、音樂人不同制作手段完成的音樂音源時,不由得會心一笑,可謂八仙過海各顯神通。當然,這也是我做這個合集的初衷,不用在意實現的手段,無論是錄音室大制作,還是Raw味十足的Demo、Bootleg,只要能把握那個靈光一閃、生猛鮮活的瞬間就夠了!

也許,昨天還在和樂隊的兄弟姐妹們在一起即興到天旋地轉,今天可能因為未期的突發狀況而各奔東西。有時候一個樂隊的生命也是脆弱的,生活在未知的世界里,一切是偶然、一切是必然。而我希望,能以這個系列合集的形式,記錄一個過往、一個當下、一個瞬間、一個永恒。

On the Dragon Boat Festival in May 2017, I held the first Psyche Delta Festival with 二嗲萌 (tata), and since then the Psyche Delta Festival has been going on and off for four years. With the Yangtze River Delta as the base, we have presented a psychedelic performance together with sporadic psychedelic bands from all over the country, which is favored by a group of psychedelic, prog, and experimental music fans. Previously, it was only to host shows with its own stylistic tendencies, and perhaps had previously envisioned being an independent label, but in the era of digital streaming, it felt somewhat out of place. 2021 saw the collapse of the music website Xiami, where most bands were based, and seemed to have completely lost faith in capital-controlled music streaming, so it hoped to return to the record format with this more existential entity, from music to the cover design is a return to the original face of the record.

"When Lao Tzu was traveling westward, Yin Xi, the magistrate of Hangu pass, saw a purple aura floating through the pass, and Lao Tzu really rode a green bull and passed through." This is an allusion to the idiom "紫氣東來", which means a sign of good fortune. The "Purple Haze" in album's English title is a tribute to the psychedelic spirit of Jimi Hendrix in 60s, from the musicians of the East, in the 21st century.

After a few years of Psyche Delta festivals, some old bands have fallen silent and some new ones have emerged. Some of the disbanded projects have formed new lineups, cells have split into more psychedelic bands, or some members started playing solo projects. This compilation features the work of some well-known bands, as well as some great work by lesser-known musicians. When I received the music source from the various bands and musicians, I couldn't help but smile at their different production methods. Of course, this is also my original intention to do this compilation, I do not care that if it is a studio production, lo-fi demo, or bootleg, as long as you can grasp that flash of light, the moment of vividness is enough!

Maybe, yesterday we were improvising with our brothers and sisters in the band until the sky was spinning, and today we might be going our separate ways because of an unexpected situation. Sometimes the life of a band is fragile, living in an unknown world where everything is chance and everything is inevitable. And I hope to record a past, a present, a moment, an eternity in the form of this series of compilations.
