Mark Alban Lotz – 笛子 Flutes

“Mark Alban Lotz是世界上少数几个能够单枪匹马让一场独奏鲜活起来的笛子演奏大师之一。他呈现的或许不是纯粹的爵士，或者说任何单一的东西，但他的演奏技巧和多才多艺吸引了大量的关注。”

—— 《纽约爵士唱片》杂志（美国）

“作为一名管乐手，你想要做出一张成功的独奏专辑，要么是有两把斧子，要么是足够胆大无畏，要么是恰逢其时。笛手Mark Alban Lotz通过了这些严酷考验，并且博得了满堂喝彩。”

——《爵士周刊》杂志（美国）

Mark Alban Lotz以他不拘于传统的表演风格、令人惊喜的音乐和精湛的即兴造就了震撼人心的笛子独奏现场——一次通往内心音乐宇宙的幻想般的旅程，一场结合了作曲和即兴的、不断突破边界的当代音乐独奏会。他的演出是纯粹的——没有使用电脑或者loop，只有大量超凡的技巧和想象，并加入了恰如其分的幽默。

Mark Alban Lotz活跃于欧洲音乐圈，对新音乐、爵士乐和世界音乐均有涉猎。他与以下音乐家有过合作：美国萨克斯风手Chris Potter、美国吉他手David Tronzo、美国管乐手Don Byron、古巴打击乐手Miguel Anga Diaz、荷兰乐队Zuco 103以及荷兰打击乐手Han Bennink；他的最新专辑《Solo Flutes》在全球各大电台热播；从阿姆斯特丹到柏林，从纽约到伊斯坦布尔，他在许多地方举办过音乐会。

— “New York Jazz City Record” Magazine (US)

“You gotta have either a) chops, b) chutzpah or c) perfect timing for a horn player to successfully do a solo album. Mark Alban Lotz Flautist throws down the gauntlet, and pulls off an impressive salvo.”

场地 Venue

华侨城创意文化园北区B10现场 B10 Live, North District of OCT-LOFT

演出者 Artists

Mark Alban Lotz – 长笛 Flutes

Omar Ka – 人声 Vocals / 吉他 Guitar

Abu Djigo – 吉他 Guitar

Afra Mussawisade – 打击乐 Percussion

“乐队优美悦耳而富有感情的旋律让人着迷。在他们的音乐里，爵士乐与非洲曲调搭配得恰到好处，无比和谐——也正如他们本身成员之间的默契配合。”

——《Al Masry Al Youm》报纸（埃及）

“这正是世界所需要的——坦诚、有机、自然的合作，心灵与声音在其中碰撞。令人愉悦、铿锵有力、强壮厚重……还有数不清的形容词，可以被我用来形容这张美好的作品。这是一个充满力量的时刻，让人不由自主地沦陷在他们的音乐里。”

——B.-D. DeCarlo，电台KBCS调频91.3（美国）

由周游世界的笛子演奏名家Mark Alban Lotz领衔，这个充满创造性的组合将西非Fula[1]音乐和泛欧风格进行了完美混搭。这支才华横溢的乐队呈现了一种妙趣横生、没有国界的声音——新鲜有力，生机勃勃，并可以从中感受到他们对演奏的热爱。在音乐界崭露头角之后，Mark Lotz & A Fula’s Call随后就马不停蹄地在埃及、荷兰、乌克兰、摩尔达维亚、保加利亚和俄罗斯各地展开巡演。2009年发行的CD《Mark Lotz Meets Omar Ka, Liingu》获得了国际上的广泛好评，一时间占据全球各大电台榜单前列，2010年还在《Mixed》杂志奖中获得提名。2011年，乐队曾与荷兰王国EBWP交响管乐团（Euregion Brass, Wind and Percussion Orchestra）进行了精彩的合作。

源于尼日尔的声乐家Omar Ka，打击乐手Afra Mussawisade以及笛子手Mark Alban Lotz——除了这三位A Fula’s Call的核心成员，此次的阵容由于Fula吉他手Abu Djigo的加入而变得更令人期待。A Fula’s Call所呈现的这种“欧非音乐”，是一种向世界小心翼翼而又渴望已久的试探，一次震撼有力的心灵交融。

[1] Fula人是非洲分布最广、文化最多样的族群之一，他们主要来自西非以及中非北部。他们有着丰富的音乐文化，除了人声演唱，也演奏各种各样的传统乐器。其中比较具有代表性的是来自塞内加尔的著名Fula音乐人Baaba Maal，他在唱片中使用Fula本土语言弗拉尼语（Pulaar）演唱。

“The band’s harmonious, soulful melodies captivate. Their musical blend of jazz with African tunes are in perfect harmony — as the group itself seemed to be.”

— “Al Masry Al Youm” Newspaper (EG)

“This is what the world needs — honest, organic, natural collaborations where heart meets sound. DELIGHTFUL, ROBUST, STRONG, and a host of other adjectives I’d ascribe to this beautiful release. It is a powerful moment to surrender to what the music wants to be.”

— B.-D. DeCarlo, KBCS 91.3 FM (US)

Globetrotter and flute virtuoso Mark Alban Lotz presents a creative group of musicians within cross-over of West African Fula music in an distinct Pan European twist. A scintillating new global sound: fresh, dynamic, and a spirited love of playing. Having emerged out of the Music World: Mark Lotz & A Fula’s Call subsequently hit the road with wheels spinning on tours in Egypt, the Netherlands, Ukraine, Moldavia, Bulgaria, and Russia. Their CD release “Mark Lotz Meets Omar Ka, Liingu” (2009) achieved high international acclaim, was rated top ten’s at radio stations all over the globe, CD of the month, nominated Mixed Magazine Prize in 2010, etc. 2011 saw a spectacular collaboration with the Euregion Brass, Wind and Percussion Orchestra.

Vocalist Omar Ka with roots in the Niger, percussionist Afra Mussawisade and flutist Mark Alban Lotz form the pounding heart of A Fula’s Call, which is complemented by Fula Guitar player Abu Djigo. A Fula’s Call is “Eurafrican” music with an itching global touch, a powerful spiritual crossover.

[1] The Fula people or Fulani are one of the most widely dispersed and culturally diverse of the peoples of Africa. They are found mainly in West Africa and northern parts of Central Africa. They have a rich musical culture and play a variety of traditional instruments, in addition to vocal music. The well-known Senegalese Fula musician Baaba Maal sings in Pulaar on his recordings.

Long Arm – DJ

Ruslan Gadzhimuradov – 鼓 Drums

最挑剔的耳朵，最想跳舞的心 | 都无法拒绝的一双长手

来自俄罗斯圣彼得堡的天才DJ——Long Arm：细腻如清风呼吸的线条，即兴舞者一般充满想象力的跳跃节奏，浪漫且五彩斑斓的音乐元素，加之一双长手不停操控各种合成器与原声乐器独特的现场呈现，与鼓手Ruslan Gadzhimuradov一流的技术与超凡的细节把控，使得那些哪怕是最挑剔的耳朵亦或是最想舞蹈的心，都无法拒绝他们！

Long Arm在孩童时期就开始接触音乐，他在音乐学校学习钢琴，当第一次在音乐频道观看到一个DJ的演出时，他被深深震撼，并迷上了这种音乐。在当时很难弄到一台黑胶唱机，Long Arm和朋友便开始用老式苏维埃留声机来制作这类音乐，并开始收集复古黑胶唱片。他不断地聆听，在所有空余时间都把自己浸泡在那些唱片中。在大学期间，他投入到个人作品的创作之中，并在多个乐队演奏，也参与了不同的艺术项目。毕业之后，他开始创作Intelligent风格的音乐。Long Arm对爵士的挚爱也深刻影响了他整个音乐风格的成形。他在创作中充分融合了broken beats、downtempo、nu-jazz和trip hop等丰富元素。

目前，Long Arm是德国厂牌Project Mooncircle旗下的音乐人。2011年，他的首张全长专辑《The Branches》以及收录了混录版和b-side歌曲的EP《Organic》通过该厂牌发行，在全世界范围内好评如潮。他的作品被用在Hidden Orchestra（英国厂牌Tru Thoughts）的Mixtape《Flight Mixtape》以及Gilles Peterson的《All Winners Show（BBC Radio 1）》中。2015年5月，Long Arm发行了最新专辑《Kellion / The Stories Of A Young Boy》。

Long Arm took up music when he was a kid. In music school he studied how to play piano. He was really impressed by a DJ’s performance on one of the music channels when he saw it for the first time. It was difficult to get a turntable back then, so Long Arm and his friend started making them from old Soviet phonographs/record players and collecting vintage vinyl records. Long Arm devoted all his free time to listening to those records. He spent his university years writing his own tracks, playing in various bands and participating in different projects. After his graduation he began working in Intelligent genre. His lifelong passion for jazz influenced his whole music style.

Genres：Broken Beats · Downtempo · Nu-jazz · Trip Hop
