ChoP WEF on tour in China : Live In Hong Kong華沙電子音樂節中國巡演
ChoP is a new music culture exchange project, which is founded by Chinese experimental musician, Zen Lu and Polish sound artist, Grzegorz Bojanek three years ago, involving ten artists from China and Poland. Four albums have been released. Despite the live show the cofounder Zen Lu had participated in with Grezegorz Bojanek during the visit to Poland in June 2007, collaberations between the other musicians are all via internet. From 1st to 13th June 2009, Gregorz Bojanek will visit China with another two Polish artists (Minoo,Nejmano) who have been involved in the ChoP, planning to hold 7 concerts with other Chinese artists (Zen Lu, KLC_NIR, Dickson Dee, Sin:Ned) who have been invloved in ChoP also. This “ChoP: WEF on Tour in China” is sponsored by Warsaw Electronic Music Festival and Shenzhen based We Play! Records.
About ChoP: ChoP is a new musical duo consisting of Chinese experimental musician, sound artist Zen Lu and Polish experimental musician Grzegorz Bojanek. Their method of composing is mainly by means of transferring and exchanging music samples over the internet, and treatment afterwards. The album reflects the exploration of differences in experimental music between sound artists of two different cultures and societies. The first album of ChoP, titled “ChoP vol. 1″ is just released. ChoP is not a one-off project between Zen Lu and Grzegorz only. Each ChoP album is planned to invite different artists from two countries to appear in this series of future releases. Dickson Dee, Hong Kong experimental musician and Tomasz Pauszek(rnd), Polish electronic musician, have been invited to join in thecomposition of “ChoP vol. 2″, which will be released on March 2008. Also, we have invited Sin:Ned (Hong Kong) and Minoo (Poland) to join to ChoP vol.3, KLC_NIR(China) and Nejmano (Ploand) join to ChoP vol.4. www.myspace.com/chopart
