法國實驗音樂家 Laurent Jeanneau 化名的 Kink Gong 自 90 年代開始運作,整體的作品分為兩條主線,一是東南亞少數民族的聲音收集,另一則是以他所搜集的聲音素材去重整、拼貼建購實驗音景。
成為 Kink Gong 之前 Laurent 有許多的創作名稱,「Dian Long 電龍」是其一,電龍的創作專注在中國 21 世紀初的文化環境。2000 年他到了上海展開一段很長的迷航旅程,面對現代中國拒絕傳統並且擁抱金光閃閃的文化的他選擇用摧毀來攻擊這裡的商業味道。
“Before becoming KINK GONG I had different names, one of my projects, designed by cultural circumstances in China at the beginning of the 21st Century, was DIAN LONG (electric dragon in Chinese). Starting a very long trip to nowhere I landed in Shanghai in 2000, with my gear in my bag in order to make music and recordings of whatever. Faced with the cruel tendency of modern China to reject tradition and embrace full on bling bling culture, my option was to attack this music industry commercial flavour by destroying it. I had in my bag a faithful portable CD player who knew how to turn syrup into crystal. Later, reaching Yunnan in 2001, I discovered the reality away from the bling bling of eastern towns and did a realistic soundscape of it.” Laurent Jeanneau, Berlin 2017
