芝加哥 1992–2002：自由爵士、后摇滚与实验音乐的碰撞与汇流
Coming Together: The Collision of Free Jazz, Post-Rock, and Experimental Music in Chicago 1992–2002
讲者 Speaker：Peter Margasak
这场分享将带你回到九十年代的芝加哥——在那个音乐能量不断碰撞重组的十年里，原本各自独立发展的地下音乐社群逐渐交汇，音乐家们在录音室互相助力，在舞台上并肩演出，在美学理念上彼此激发。他们之间的合作不仅打破了风格的边界，更共同建构了芝加哥独具影响力的音乐生态。
我们将聚焦 Ken Vandermark、Rob Mazurek、Tortoise、Gastr del Sol、Kevin Drumm、U.S. Maple 等关键人物，在这幅自由爵士、后摇滚与实验音乐交织的独特图景中深度漫游。
A discussion of how musicians from different musical communities worked together, collectively building the city's deeply influential scene. Early in the decade different factions of the city's underground scene largely operated in isolation, but as the decade passed, musicians from disparate scenes increasingly collaborated, whether helping one another in the recording studio, sharing live bills, and sharing stylists ideas. The discussion will focus on artists such as Ken Vandermark, Rob Mazurek, Tortoise, Gastr del Sol, Kevin Drumm, U.S. Maple, and more.
