▼WV118: Sundialll - HUB

儀式 振動 招魂術

A co-release between WV Sorcerer and Yes No Wave Music.

Sundialll is a contemporary music group based in Taipei and Bandung, featuring vocalist/feedback artist Alica Han and multi-instrumentalist/electronic musician Rama Saputra. Coming from distinct musical backgrounds, they explore new sonic landscapes beyond their borders, embarking on fictional journeys through music. Their process begins with deconstructing rhyme, rhythm, and noise, drawing inspiration from their roots and folklore.

Sundialll 是一個以台北和萬隆為基地的當代音樂團體，由歌手/反饋者 Alica Han 和多樂器/電子音樂家 Rama Saputra 組成。他們來自不同的世界，通過音樂中的虛構旅程，想像一個超越邊界的新世界，從解構來自根源和民間傳說的韻律、節奏和噪音開始。

HUB is an eight-part live album built on free improvisation, centered around the fictional theme of social ritual. It is inspired by gratitude as a transition through the chaos of urban life and the organic social cohesion that emerges from improvisational language. Celebrating the convergence of diverse identities and places, Sundialll collaborates with sound improvisers Hong-Yu Chen (Xiao, Suona, Suling, Clarinet, Chinese Flute) and Dutch E Germ (Drums, Gong, Percussions), alongside dance improvisers Yu-Ting Tu, Naau Wang, and Ouro Yang. With a slow and silent gaze, we extend a welcoming gesture—“Come in, for the boundaries have been opened” (Bubuka).

《HUB》是一張包含八首即興現場表演的專輯，具有社會儀式的虛構主題。它受到感恩的啟發，作為混亂都市生活過渡的一部分，並反映了即興語言所創造的混合身份的社會凝聚力。慶祝來自不同地方和身份的人們的融合，Sundialll 邀請了兩位聲音即興表演者—陳泓宇（笛、唢呐、竹笛、單簧管、花笛）和 Dutch E Germ（鼓、鍾、打擊樂器），以及三位舞蹈即興表演者—凃于婷 、王芊涵 和 Ouro Yang。以緩慢而寧靜的目光，我們呈現出一個歡迎的姿態—「來吧，邊界已經打開」（Bubuka）。
