关于影片 About the Film
苏门答腊岛，一座迷人的岛屿。作为印度尼西亚群岛的西北入口，它以独特的文化和民俗而闻名。影片深入岛屿的精神腹地，通过呈现各种街头音乐家、夜场表演、民间乐队和日常生活中音乐家周遭发生的偶然事件，展示了这座岛屿的多样性和活力。这部影片没有旁白，也没有特定的主题或议程，而是采用了直觉式的拍摄和拼贴的方式，拍摄地点也是跟随事情的发展而不断变化，试图捕捉身临其境般的当地生活本质。
影片大部分是在 2004 年 8 月的两周时间内拍摄的，地点在美丹、巴当、武吉丁宜和巴当潘江等城市及其周边地区。
This film is a collection of musical performances, folk images, TV excerpts and audio/visual artifacts from the heart and soul of Sumatra. This fascinating island is the Northwestern entry point to the Indonesian archipelago. Its 40 million inhabitants are primarily Muslim and speak the national language of Bahasa Indonesian. Most of the film was shot during a span of two weeks in August of 2004 in and around the cities of Medan, Padang, Bukitinggi, and Padang Panjang. It features a variety of street musicians, nightclub acts, folk groups, and incidental happenings which surround musicians in their daily lives. This film has no narration nor is it meant to express any particular theme or agenda. This is intuitive folk cinema and film collage, shot on location as it unfolded and assembled in an attempt to capture the essence of being there. All material was shot before the “Tsunami” of December 26, 2004 destroyed the city of Banda Aceh and the northwest coastal areas of Aceh province. The Bandah Aceh segment was shot by David Martinez in 2003.

自 21 世纪初以来，他的文化研究和输出一直专注于中东和东南亚地区的民间流行音乐，以及 20 世纪中后期美国亚裔移民社区的音乐产出。Mark 在 2007 年将叙利亚歌手 Omar Souleyman 及其乐队的音乐引入西方舞台，并与传奇土耳其音乐家 Erkin Koray 密切合作，重新发行了他早期作品。他广获赞誉的两小时音频纪录《我记得叙利亚》（2003 年）于 2015 年重新发行，所得款项用于支持援助叙利亚的慈善机构。Mark 的项目得到了阿拉伯艺术与文化基金会、英国艺术委员会、英国“声音与音乐”慈善机构、 德国首都文化基金会和巴塞罗那当代艺术博物馆的支持。2018 年，Mark 建立了“叙利亚卡带档案（Syrian Cassette Archives）”，对他来自“叙利亚卡带时代”（1970 年代至 2010 年）的卡带收藏及文献资料进行了修复、编目、归档和数字化分享。
Mark 现为多家唱片公司提供后期制作、档案工作和母带处理等技术支持与服务，如 Ostinato Records、Akuphone、Discrepant 和 2182 Recordings 等。
Mark Gergis is a London-based Iraqi-American producer, musician and audio-visual archivist known for his global music releases on the Sublime Frequencies label, among others. Since the early 2000s, his cultural research and output has focused on regional folk-pop music from the Middle East and Southeast Asia, as well as musical outputs of diaspora Asian communities in the US during the mid-to-late 20th century. Mark introduced the music of Syrian singer Omar Souleyman and his group to western stages in 2007, and worked closely with legendary Turkish musician Erkin Koray on major reissues of his early work.

Mark's projects have received support from AFAC, UK Arts Council, Sound and Music, Hauptstadtkulturfonds and MACBA. In 2018, Mark founded Syrian Cassette Archives, an initiative to restore, preserve, catalog and share his collection of Syrian media from what can be called Syria’s cassette era (1970s-2010).

Alan Bishop
Alan Bishop 是传奇的凤凰城/西雅图前卫乐队 Sun City Girls 创始成员之一。这支打破了风格壁垒的乐队在他们跨越 27 年的职业生涯中，发行了超过 50 张专辑——足以证明他们对即兴与作曲的探索没有止境，且无所畏惧。
在他个人的项目中， Bishop 以 Alvarius B. 为名创作了数百首民谣作品——它们给人的感觉原始而又“离经叛道”，极具特色；他也演绎他人的作品，以自己的风格翻玩过无数或鲜为人知或耳熟能详的歌曲。在过去的 12 年间，Bishop 一直在开罗工作，创作并录制着新的 Alvarius B. 作品，同时在本地建立了乐队 The Invisible Hands，并与 Sam Shalabi 和 Maurice Louca 合作组成了 Dwarfs of East Agouza。
Bishop 还是音乐厂牌 Sublime Frequencies 的联合创始人和 Abduction Records 的所有者与主理人。
Alan Bishop is a founding member of Seattle's avant-garde and genre-defying Sun City Girls, whose career spanned 27 years and over fifty releases. His work in Sun City Girls, with Richard Bishop and Charles Gocher, alone stands as a testament to his fearless exploration of the outer reaches of improvisation and composition. And as Alvarius B., Bishop has penned hundreds of his own original folk songs in a primitive “out” style that is extremely unique. And as an interpreter of other people’s work, his songbook also includes hundreds of cover songs from the obscure to the very familiar. Over much of the past twelve years, Bishop has been based in Cairo, composing & recording new Alvarius B. material while simultaneously establishing his own Egyptian-based band, The Invisible Hands and joining forces with Sam Shalabi and Maurice Louca in the trio Dwarfs of East Agouza. Bishop is also the co-founder of the Sublime Frequencies record label and he owns and operates Abduction Records.
