Flux Fiction | fləks fik-shən | 流动幻念
Unpredictable, unstable and untested
Manifestation of artistic expression
不可预测、不设限且尚未被验证的艺术表达形式
Music by Harald Grosskopf - Dystopia 5 (Excerpt)
“Plain District素域”2024年的主题“流动幻念”可以被理解为去年“虚空折射”项目的延续，将实验的切入点从打破转换为创造。“流动”意味着持续的调节和变化，充实并加强以“幻念”，即想象力，便合并为“流动幻念”，激发出不可预测的、不设限的和尚未被检测的艺术表达形式。在大理一座先驱设计半功能性建筑中献上首场演出后，“Plain District素域”将在西安以全新的形式进一步开辟新领域。
The Plain District 2024, themed Flux Fiction can be understood as a sequel to last year's Void Refraction project, switching its experimental Modus Operandi from the breaking to the making."The flux" implies a flow of constant modulation and change, amplified and multiplied with "The fiction", the imagination, merging into "Flux Fictions", stimulating unpredictable, unstable, and untested manifestations of artistic expression. After premiering its first event in a semi-functional building of visionary-designed architectural fiction in Dali, the Plain District breaks further ground with a second novelty format in Xi'an.

“关联之圈”包含两个演出层面。第一个策展层面旨在呈现中国当代电子音乐独特的先锋性；第二个层面则会凸显德国电子音乐文化的影响，从Space Rock（即享誉国际的Krautrock）到Techno。
扩展开来，两个层面的演出在毫无壁垒的电子音乐共通语言中共振，在多个面向和并行存在的形式中产生影响和关联。
"Circles of Interrelation" contains two oscillating program sections. The first curatorial section represents the distinct avant-garde of contemporary Chinese electronic music; the second section indicates the influence of German electronic music culture from "Cosmic Rock" (internationally known as "Krautrock") to Techno.
In extension, both program sections resonate in the universal language of electronic music of no barriers, where influences and connections are present in manifold directions, and parallel existing formats.

“Plain District素域”将颇具规模的全方位电子音乐项目带到了中国最负盛名的音乐场地之一——西安音乐厅，这个通常邀请中外艺术家和管弦乐团演奏古典音乐会的场所，为艺术家和观众迈出了探索的一步。本场电子音乐演出被纳入著名的西安国际音乐节的节目单也实属首次。“Plain District素域”开辟未知的领域，将活动场地从废弃的工业场所转移到当代文化综合体的建筑中。只有当建筑物被激活，被艺术想象、音乐和观众填满时，空间才会短暂地活跃起来。而当所有这些都消失，最终的开关被触发，只余建筑的外壳和记忆的悸动回声。“Plain District素域”以不断变化的形式构建出不同寻常的空间，带领观众踏上一场介于亲密关系与情感表达之间的旅程，沉浸在变换的空间中，与光与声的“流动幻念”产生共鸣。空间和程序设计沿用剧院、歌剧和音乐会运营的经典模式，并进行创新的编排和诠释。与陕西大剧院|西安音乐厅旗下独立音乐厂牌“声厂SoundFact”的合作，为“Plain District素域”项目和中国电子音乐文化解锁了一个独特的契机。双方的策展、创意和技术知识得以在这场中国尚无先例的活动中紧密结合、共同施展。此次合作促成了不拘一格的专业切磋，实属幸事。As a second premiere, the Plain District brings a comprehensive electronic music program of this magnitude to one of China's most prestigious music venues, the Xi'an Concert Hall, usually reserved for classical music concerts by Chinese and international artists and orchestras, unleashing unexplored realms for artists and audiences. The event also premieres the first-ever electronic music program to become part of the prestigious Xi'an International Music Festival.
The Plain District unveils in yet unknown territories, shifting its occurrence from abandoned industrial facilities to the architecture of contemporary cultural complexes. Only when this architecture is activated, filled with artistic imagination, music, and audience, these spaces briefly come to life. When all this falls away and the final switch is flicked, solely the architectural shell and the throbbing echo of memories remain.
The Plain District fabricates spaces out of the ordinary in ever-altering forms and takes the audience on a journey between intimacy and expressiveness to immerse in transformed spaces, and to resonate with the flow of Flux Fiction in light and sound. The spatial and procedural design quotes classic patterns from theater, opera, and concert operations, innovatively orchestrated and interpreted.
The collaboration with SoundFact, the independent promoter under SNPAC, unlocks a unique opportunity for the Plain District project and China's electronic music culture. Curatorial, creative, and technical know-how are set to be bundled and implemented jointly in a first-of-its-kind event in China. The collaboration opens up a particular and unique professional environment, that otherwise remains inaccessible.
Harald Grosskopf / Synthesist (DE)
德国Krautrock时代的先驱之一Harald Grosskopf，又名Synthesist，将作为此次活动的主角献上在中国的首场独家个人演出。Harald Grosskopf是电子音乐界首位用鼓来为电子化的旋律和低音线（音序器）伴奏的鼓手。Grosskopf曾加入过许多德国电子Krautrock乐队，是Ash Ra Tempel、Klaus Schulze和Cosmic Jokers背后的神秘打击乐手。他的首张专辑《Synthesist》于1980年发行，堪称德国电子音乐史上具有开创性意义的专辑之一。
Harald Grosskopf, aka Synthesist, one of the German pioneers of the "Krautrock" era, will headline the event for an exclusive and first solo performance in China. Harald Grosskopf was the first drummer in electronic music to accompany electronically generated melody and hardware-generated bass line sequences on drums. Grosskopf has lined up in many German Electronic Krautrock formations and was the enigmatic percussionist behind Ash Ra Tempel, Klaus Schulze, and Cosmic Jokers. His debut album Synthesist, published in 1980, is regarded as one of the ground-breaking releases of its period in German electronic music history.
艺术家 Artists
33EMYBW (CN)
![]()
33EMYBW 是一位常居上海的制作人，她以“节肢舞步”来描述自己的音乐风格。她的灵感来自节肢动物——即昆虫、蜘蛛、甲壳类动物和其他外骨骼生物，并尝试利用“类似节肢动物的节拍演变来营造出微小生物起舞的感觉”。33EMYBW 已经活跃于中国音乐场景十几年。她从现代跳舞音乐、民间音乐和各种视觉素材中汲取灵感，逐步将各种混合概念元素提炼成形，把极富个性化的节奏和出色的实验声音设计结合在一起。33EMYBW也是上海最知名的实验摇滚/电子乐队“鸭打鹅（YADAE）”的核心成员。
33EMYBW is a Shanghai-based producer and has referred to her style of music as "limb dance." She's inspired by arthropods - that is, insects, spiders, crustaceans, and other exoskeletal creatures - and tries to use "arthropod-like beat evolution to achieve the perception of tiny creatures dancing around." 33EMYBW has been an active member of the Chinese music scene for over a decade. Drawing inspirations from modern dance music, folk music, and a wide range of visual materials, she gradually refined a variety of mixed conceptual elements into a form that combines very personal rhythm and stunning experimental sound designs. 33EMYBW is a core member of Shanghai's most well-known experimental rock/electronic band "Duck Fight Goose (YADAE)".
Gooooose (CN) × Dandi (CN)
Live Audio-Visual × 舞蹈 Dance Performance
Gooooose现居上海，是韩涵的个人音乐计划之一。他的身份包括音乐制作人、作曲家、视觉艺术家和程序开发者。此外，韩涵还以Gooooose的名义参与跨界合作，为艺术家、设计师和电影配乐。作为音乐的延伸，他在2024年初创作了一个名为“体素：一个关于二十一世纪生物的研究（Voxels - A Research of the 21st Century Species）”的声音视觉演出。Gooooose也是上海最知名的实验摇滚/电子乐队“鸭打鹅（YADAE）”的核心成员。
Gooooose is Shanghai-based Han Han, a combination of music producer, visual artist, and software developer.

Gooooose is a core member of Shanghai's most well-known experimental rock/electronic band "Duck Fight Goose (YADAE)".
MMS (DE/CN)
MMS是一位艺术家和策展人，其多元化的工作以无数个假身份展开。其中一个身份便是“Plain District 素域”项目的创始人。他的实践跨越多个学科领域，融合艺术、技术与音乐。MMS在中国的创意和音乐界树立了独特的艺术、策展和音乐表达风格。MMS不拘于正统的表演涵盖Hybrid DJ / Live Techno Sets和实验音乐Live Sets。MMS is an artist and curator whose diverse body of work crossed infinite pseudo-identities - founder and architect of the Plain District platform. Working across a multiplicity of disciplines, blending art, technology, and music, MMS has carved out a distinct artistic, curatorial, and sonic voice in China's creative and music scene. His unorthodox performance spans from hybrid DJ/live Techno sets to experimental live sets.
Konstantin Heuer是一名来自德国的作曲家，他还有着另一个身份——Techno艺术家tsimtsum。他善于为听众创造细致入微的听感、真诚的情感，以及形式上的趣味。Konstantin谱写的管弦乐、声乐室内乐和电子音乐作品为听众打开沉浸聆听的体验，而在tsimtsum的身份下，他的音乐则属于俱乐部。tsimtsum以深沉粗犷并充满Garage风格的Techno、和声，以及不断的演进为基础，调制出有机的、沉浸的、具有内生动力的音乐体验，以及尘土飞扬、神秘、充满律动同时又情绪丰富的氛围。For the listener, German composer Konstantin Heuer aka Techno artist tsimtsum creates experiences of nuanced sensation, emotional honesty, and formal interest. He writes orchestral, vocal, and chamber pieces and electronic music for listening, immersing, and per the alias tsimtsum, for the club context. The tsimtsum project sets up on deep, gritty garage-infused techno, harmonies, and evolutions that draw from the musical background of a classically trained composer. All sounds are meticulously honed and specified, organic, hypnotic, and in inner motion. Atmospheres - dusty, mystic, groovy, yet they also speak emotionally.
WHITE+，也就是“白+”，脱胎于2010年在北京举办的“燥眠夜”系列音乐活动。他们称自己是“硬件电子乐队”——守望负责效果器、人声、改装电子琴以及使用一些稀奇古怪的电子设备发出各种声音；而王旭则全盘操控打击乐以及鼓机采样，产生跳动的背景节拍，甚至还将套鼓搬进了俱乐部中。他们的音乐展现着极简主义美学，在噪音底色之上往复分裂，创造出精巧的结构。WHITE+ started at the Beijing-born experimental event series Zooming Night In 2010. They have been described as a "hardware electronica band" with Zhang Shouwang in charge of vocals, customized keyboards, pedals, and loops - Wang Xu plays drums, drum machines, and samplers, generating the constant pulse of their rolling beats. White+ music flaunts some brilliant sparks as it reflects the duo's minimalist taste, creating delicate structures surrounded by a field of noise. A fan once described their live shows as "a detailed and accurate cell division" - their sound and production methods are heavily influenced by what emerged in Germany as "Krautrock".
Uni-T是由中国的电子音乐艺术家Boyang Guan与媒体艺术家LazyBackHome组成的Audio-Visual双人组。他们的创作跨越了传统媒介和新兴技术，探索多种载体之间的边界。在Uni-T作为独立项目诞生之前，两人已⻓期合作四年之久，与多数以抽象元素为主的视听现场不同的是，他们的现场以具有戏剧感的感官体验著称，将表演现场作为一个实验叙事场域来看待。其创作是对宗教、⺠俗、网络人格、未来意识体的重构式讨论。Uni-T is the audio-visual duo formed by Chinese electronic music artist Boyang Guan and media artist LazyBackHome. Their work crosses traditional mediums and emerging technologies, exploring the boundaries between multiple art practices. Before Uni-T was born as an independent project, the duo had already been working together for four years. Unlike most audio-visual live shows that focus on abstract elements, their live sets are known for their dramatic sensory experiences, treating the performance scene as an experimental narrative field.
