Every year at this time is the season of Tomorrow Festival, an avant-garde music festival organized by B10 Live.

Due to the COVID-19 out-break, the festival is canceled this year but you can watch a special presentation of its past concert videos, titled “Yester-day Festival,” on the Bilibili (哔哩哔哩) live-steaming app. This weekend, three videos of seven musicians or bands will be shown every night Friday through Sunday.

Schedule:• May 15, 8:30 p.m., Feldermel-der, Guru Guru• May 16, 8:30 p.m., Pierre Bastien, Koenji Hyakkei• May 17, 8:30 p.m., Pandit Narendra Mishra & Kushal Krishna, Keiji Haino

Swiss artist Feldermelder is a modular synth enthusi-ast whose infl uences range from the decomposed struc-ture works of old pioneers

of electronic music to more classical jazz, electronic and analog music. The diversity of the music that inspires him is refl ected in his own sonic adventures, forming his ever-evolving sound, combining as a map and compass to guide his artistic outbursts.

Guru Guru is a German krautrock band formed in 1968 and carved its way outside the mainstream and short-lived trends by blending experimen-tal rock, avant-garde, jazz and world music into an unique, original form of rock’n’roll.

Pierre Bastien is a French composer and experimental musical instrument builder. He began building mechani-cal-based musical instruments at an early age, using items such as metronomes, cymbals, and pulleys. In 1977 he began collaborating with Pascal Comelade and composes music for dance companies.

Koenji Hyakkei is a Japanese Zeuhl band led by Yoshida

Tatsuya of Ruins. The band released their fi rst album in 1994 with Aki Kubota from Bondage Fruit on vocals and keyboard. Though rhythmically not as complex as Ruins, Koenji Hyakkei still evokes a feeling of unfamiliarity due to non-stan-dard modes and chanting in a nonsensical language.

Keiji Haino is a Japanese singer-songwriter whose work has included rock, free improvi-sation, noise music, percussion, psychedelic music, minimalism and drone music. He has been active since the 1970s and con-tinues to record regularly and in new styles.

The pure, touching and joyful music by renowned sitar player Pandit Narendra Mishra and his cousin, a great tabla artist, Kushal Krishna, can also be heard Sunday night.

Other past videos of OCT-LOFT Jazz Festival and Tomor-row Festival are also available on B10 Live’s Bilibili account. (SD News)

Meet Wu Tsing-fong at live-streaming eventWu Tsing-fong, the founder and lead vocalist of Taiwanese band Sodagreen, released his debut solo album, “Spaceman,” featuring 12 original songs, in September last year.

This Friday night at 7:30 p.m., a documentary about the album and music videos of some songs will be shown on Tencent Music Entertainment’s four apps: QQ Music (QQ音乐), Kugou Music (酷狗音乐), Kuwo Music (酷我音乐) and WeSing (全民K歌). Fans can also interact with Wu during the live-streaming event.

“Spaceman” is Wu’s fi rst album after Sodagreen announced a three-year break in 2017. Speaking about the break, Wu said in an earlier interview that he spent the fi rst year at home reading books and watching concerts of his favor-ite singer-songwriters, such as Tori Amos.

Wu, who studied Chinese

in college, is good at deliver-ing and portraying emotions through his poetic and roman-tic lyrics. Speaking about the album, he said, “It turned out to be a very personal work about my fear, courage, loneliness and my communication with other people. Music can inspire the work that brings changes. My feelings are like pieces scattered around on the ground, which have been in me for a long time. I picked them up little by

little while writing the songs.”The title song, “Spaceman,”

has an intro of over one minute, involving musical instruments, such as piano, guitar, violin and drums, and tells the story of a spaceman returning to Earth after years in a space station alone. Another song, “The Car-nival of Babel,” was inspired by a novel, “The Tower of Babel” by Australian writer Morris West, which Wu read in 2017. (SD News)
