Unfortunately Krakow is not very goog place to organise concerts. There are so many small gigs, that one more does not make a difference for the citizens. So in fact we were performing just for 2 people :-) Ying and our friend Krzysiek Cybulski. In fact the gig was very interesting. We were making live music for the film made in Hong Kong. Very inspiring experience! I hope the recording of the gig is OK and we gonna upload some mp3s here. Stay tunned...
We are waiting for Anna and having some fun in Jurajska Gallery :-)
...online with Kim_Nasung and with each other...
During the last day we were only watching and listening, not performing.
ISAN was amazing!



ChoP vol.1 played in Warsaw for the 2nd time. We played quite short - just about 30 minutess. At the end we made micro-noise and Greg closed all sound when the high wave approached. The audience liked our performace very much!
This day was quite interesting. First we went to Gallery 2.0 where the new exhibition called "Digital Sculptures for Analog Sounds" was open. The idea of analog sounds appeared on WEF forum. It was developed by Krzysiek Cybulski. The digital sculptures to the analog sounds were made by Polish artist living in New York, Przemyslaw Moskal.
Than we went to Jazz Radio where Guiddo interviewed us in his radio show Input Output Put Put.
The first concert was great!
Zen Lu played some ambient sounds and mixed it with his magical sound-box sounds!
A British video artist Isaac Julien used ChoP music in his latest video project called “Ten Thousand Waves”.
“Isaac Julien’s new film installation TEN THOUSAND WAVES is to receive its world premiere at the Sydney Biennale in May, followed by its Chinese premiere in ..Shanghai.. to coincide with the Expo 2010 and ..UK.. premiere at the Hayward Gallery, ....London.... in October.”....

Zen Lu(ChoP vol.1) and Sin:Ned(ChoP vol.3) and Day 0(audio and visual artist,member of Neo Sound) made a workshop and live show in Foshan on Saturday(15 May).the workshop about the origins and development of experimental music and electronic music,many people have interested on it.but night,just 8 audiences join our concert,it's ok,we are happy.
we visted an ancient village on Sunday,it called Da Qi Tou.the ancient village in Yueping,contains the best preserved and the most representative folk building cluster of the Qing Dynasty such buildings have become popular with tourists.
In order to protect the ancient buildings, government let all the original residents moved to another place to live,so now we can only keep the buildings, but their original culture disappeared,it's sad.
Liang's Garden also is an ancient buildings,today it became a park,many many tourists come in,they find fun at there.
in fact,Foshan is a representative of the Guangdong traditional culture.we know Wing Chun,the Master Yip Man,he was the teacher of Bruce Lee.
