OCT-LOFT国际爵士音乐节地图


前言

由深圳华侨城创意文化园主办的第三届OCT-LOFT国际爵士音乐节将于9月15日拉开序幕。连续三年的努力，已经使这个音乐节初具规模，并且形成了较大的影响力。

去年有一位远道而来的观众告诉我们，他去过许多音乐节，但是他最喜欢这种“在旧厂房里听新音乐”的感觉——这应该就是创意文化园的独特之处：它让厂房、艺术、音乐三者完美地结合在一起，并且产生了奇妙的化学反应。

我们的生活中充斥着各种名目繁多的音乐节，如同电视机里的谍战剧集一般令人眼花缭乱。大部分的音乐节都有着相同的命运：来势汹汹，草草收尾，缺乏创意，内容雷同，音乐人看似忙碌地飞来飞去但实际上就像在跑各种高级堂会，他们最终成为运营商手中的棋子，乐迷手中捧着的快餐；“人气”这个词几乎成为现在各大音乐节选择乐队的第一要素，而音乐性则被挤到一个尴尬的边缘角落，成为被消费的食物链末端。

伟大的爵士音乐家查理·帕克曾经说过：“音乐是你的个人体验，你的思想，你的智慧。别人会告诉你音乐是有边界的，但是哥们儿，艺术是没有边界的。”我们唯有尽量减少甚至放弃功利商业的想法，才可以让那些“艺术”的音乐真正落地生根。

所以我们要做一个能够安静下来“听”的音乐节。二十个夜晚，一百多位爵士音乐人从世界各地赶来，为你奉献他们充满着奇思妙想的音乐作品。这份名单里面有声名显赫的大师，也有蓄势待发的年轻人，但选择他们的标准只有一个，就是作品的独特性。他们专注表现自己的音乐，对待观众，甚少取悦，有些时候甚至会是善意的冒犯与挑战，这一点让我们颇为开心。更为重要的是，我们还拥有一群伟大的乐迷；通过连续几年的参与，他们的耳朵现在变得很挑剔，而心态却越来越开放与包容。

气味相投的人最终会聚在一起——这个音乐节能够做到有风格，有自己的味道，就是我们的成功。

而我们唯一需要坚持下去的就是：把激情与良知束成火把，不计代价不计成本，向着人群狠狠地投掷。


The 3rd OCT-LOFT Jazz Festival will be open on Sept. 15th. This festival has begun to take shape and has some influence after the continuous effort of the last 3 years.

Last year, one of the audiences coming from far away told us that among all the music festivals, that is a lot, he had been to, he enjoyed the feeling of “listening to new music in the old factory building” the most. And that is exactly the charm of OCT-LOFT which combined factory building, art and music together perfectly and brought out magical chemistry reaction.

Our lives are filled with various kinds of music festivals, and they are just as confusing as the Spy series on TV. But almost all the music festivals have the same destiny: they just come into emergence massively and come to the end hastily. The content of those music festivals are almost the same and lack of creation. The musicians seem to be busying flying around performing, but in fact they are just like attending some kind of fancy don will, and they may end up being the chessman of the operators and the fast-food of the music fans. Popularity has now became the first consideration of all kinds of music festivals while the musicality has been squeezed to an awkward edge and became the end of the consumption food-chain.

The great Jazz musician Charlie Parker once said,”Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don’t live it, it won’t come out of your horn. They teach you there’s a boundary line to music. But, man, there’s no boundary line to art. ” The only thing we can do is to minimize or even give up the idea of making money, and only in this way can we really rest the root of the artistic music.

So we just came up with the idea of making a music festival in which you can really listen to the music quietly. Over 100 musicians will be coming from different countries and places all around the world and present their most amazing musical works to the audience during the 20 nights of this music festival. The names on the list include some really prominent masters and some young talents with great ambition, but there is only one standard of the selection: the uniqueness of their music. They focus mostly on presenting their music rather than pleasing the audiences. The most important point is that we have a bunch of great fans who are now more open and inclusive even though they have become more picky after all the participation for the last few years.

Birds of a feather flock together, and it will really be our success if this festival can develop its own style and taste.

And the only thing we should stick to is to gather our passion and conscience, tie them up as torches and throw them towards the crowd no matter what it will take.
