“尽管Chris Corsano被视为当代自由爵士界中最狂放、最具创造力的鼓手之一，但他的演奏并不止于猛烈敲击。大力击鼓亦能兼具细腻，他在声音质感与动态变化间的瞬时转换，堪称奇观。”
—— Dan Warburton，The Wire（2006年4月刊）
作为当代打击乐领域的先锋探索者，Chris Corsano 将带来一场关于鼓组在实验即兴音乐中发展演变的主题讲座。他将结合个人实践与历史视角，剖析六十年代 Sunny Murray、Milford Graves等先驱鼓手引发的范式革命，及其对后续实验爵士、摇滚等多流派鼓手的深远影响。Corsano 还将分享其培育新声的独特理念与实践体系。
Chris Corsano 1975 年生于美国，是一位常驻纽约的鼓手，自 90 年代末以来，一直活跃在集体即兴、自由爵士、先锋摇滚和实验音乐的交叉领域。他是许多当代最厉害的乐手心中的首选鼓手，无论是所谓“爵士”（如 Joe McPhee、Paul Flaherty、Mette Rasmussen、Zoh Amba）或是“摇滚”（如 Sir Richard Bishop、Bill Orcutt、Jim O'Rourke），还是其它根本无法被归类的风格（如 Michael Flower、Okkyung Lee）。
1998 年，Corsano 与萨克斯手 Paul Flaherty 开始了长期的、高能量的音乐合作。他们偶尔会半开玩笑地称自己的音乐风格为“被讨厌的音乐”，将现代自由爵士狂喜式的“集体主义”与硬核朋克的高强度与紧迫感相结合。2005 年从马萨诸塞州西部搬到英国后，Corsano 开始发展他的个人项目——一个动态的、自发式有机创作的“单人乐团”：他会运用非常规技巧来调动鼓组的一切可能，还会使用到各种自制的非打击乐器来发出声音，比如用琴弓拉动绷在鼓面上的小提琴弦，或是用循环呼吸法吹奏改制过的簧片乐器，并使用到大量的金属小件来产生共鸣。
2017 年，他获得了纽约的当代艺术基金会（FCA）颁发的艺术家奖金。对集体即兴创作的热爱和投入，让 Corsano 一直保持着极高的活跃度，也因此与许多志同道合的人有过合作，参与了超过 180 张唱片的录制，以及数以千计的现场演出。
"Corsano, despite being arguably the most riotously energetic and creative drummer in contemporary free jazz, does far more than merely bash his kit into submission. Playing loud does not mean abandoning subtlety, and Corsano's sudden shifts of texture and dynamics are a wonder to behold."
—Dan Warburton, The Wire (April 2006)
Chris Corsano will present a talk on the development of the drum kit as an instrument in experimental improvised music. Speaking both from personal and historical perspectives, he will discuss the paradigm shift brought about by drummers in the 1960s like Sunny Murray and Milford Graves and the impact their playing has had on the drummers who followed in experimental jazz, rock, and other genres. Corsano will also discuss his own practice and philosophy on the cultivation of new sounds.
Chris Corsano (b. 1975, USA) is a New York-based drummer who has been active at the intersections of collective improvisation, free jazz, avant-rock, and experimental music since the late 1990's. He's been the rim-batterer of choice for some of the greatest contemporary purveyors of "jazz" (Joe McPhee, Paul Flaherty, Mette Rasmussen, Zoh Amba) and "rock" (Sir Richard Bishop, Bill Orcutt, Jim O'Rourke), as well as artists beyond categorization (Michael Flower, Okkyung Lee).
Corsano began a long-standing, high-energy musical partnership with saxophonist Paul Flaherty in 1998. Their style, which they occasionally refer to with (semi-)tongue-in-cheek humor as "The Hated Music", combines modern free-jazz's ecstatic collectivism with the urgency and intensity of hardcore punk. A move from western Massachusetts to the UK in 2005 led Corsano to develop his solo music—a dynamic, spontaneously-composed orchestra-of-one utilizing extended techniques for drum set, non-percussive instruments of his own creation (e.g. bowed violin strings stretched across drum heads), circular breathing on modified reed instruments, and stockpiles of resonant metals.
In 2017 he won the Foundation for Contemporary Arts Grants to Artists Award. His dedication to collective improvisation has led Corsano to join forces with many kindred spirits and his appearance on over 180 records and thousands of live performances.
