老丹Lao Dan - 中音萨克斯 Alto Saxophone / 笛子 Dizi / 自制笛 DIY Flute / 人声 Voice / 效果器 Effects Unit

这是一个变化莫测的有趣组合：以古灵精怪的古筝和飘飘欲仙的笛子为主干，他们会随机使用各种自己喜欢的乐器及声音创造物，自如地任游乐空，时而打破，时而还原。
他们的音乐也许像咒语，也许像密码，也许像绕口令，奔奔波波，波奔，波奔波，奔灞，波灞，波灞，大家可以自然地奔波不要管它。
This is an ever-changing, fascinating duo. Quirky Guzheng and spiritual flute as the backbones, the two artists would randomly utilize all kinds of instruments and sound devices as they wish to stroll in the musical heavens, sometimes tearing down the atmosphere, and sometimes refilling it.
Their music may sound like a spell, a password, or perhaps a tongue-twister: ben ben bo bo, bo ben, bo ben bo, ben ba, bo ba, bo ba… Let’s care not and carry on the “ben bo”ing.

老丹 Lao Dan
老丹，吹管二十余载，音乐启蒙于萨克斯，后专业学习中国竹笛。
他对中国传统竹笛的演奏方式和技巧有着自己独特的理解，更为注重演奏上的艺术性和自由性；他也酷爱自由即兴的萨克斯演奏，时常以癫狂、快速吹奏、嘶喊、天马行空式的演奏来展示他的吹奏魅力。老丹在民族、爵士、实验和即兴音乐中游荡，或游击，来去如风，招招利落，萨克斯负责喷火，竹笛勾人心魄。他的音乐创作常给观众带来强烈的听觉体验，东方和西方、古代与现代之间的声音碰撞。
近年来老丹活跃于国际舞台，与世界各地的音乐家进行交流与合作。美国厂牌Family Vineyard曾发表老丹的现场唱片，在宣传中他们评价道：“即使是在国际即兴/爵士乐的模糊界限中，老丹的声音也非常独特。他沉浸在本土传统中，却以狂喜的强度和萦绕不去的旋律热切地消除了这些界限”。
Lao Dan has been playing flutes for more than two decades. His musical primer was saxophone, and he later dedicated himself to Dizi (Chinese bamboo flute).
He has his own unique understanding on the methods and techniques of performing Dizi, and focuses on the artistry and freedom in his articulation. He is also a great fan of free improvisation on saxophones, often shining his artistic charisma with frenzy, rapid blowing, howling and unconstrained playing. His works always bring about a musical experience of antiquity-modernity synthesis.
Lao Dan has been working extensively with artists worldwide in recent years. The American record label Family Vineyard has released one of Lao Dan's live recordings, on which they comments: “Dan's voice is starkly unique, even among the blurred lines of international Improv/Jazz. He's steeped in native traditions yet eagerly obliterates those boundaries with ecstatic intensity and haunting melodies.”
