Line-up:


Neuyabe:
neuyabe是由个人卧室音乐人abe发起的一个音乐组合。主导人物abe长期受Smashing Pumpkin、Mew、Flying Virgins、Butterfingers、Death Cab For Cutie、For Stars、Mew、The Album Leaf、Radiohead以及本地乐队重阳的音乐熏陶。neuyabe的歌曲内容灵感主要围绕着生离死别,爱与希望等正面讯息,为非主流音乐帶來一絲新的氣息。编曲灵感多源自美好旋律的音乐。歌曲里所引用的乐器多样化包括吉他,电子合成器,鼓,钢琴,贝斯及二胡等等;曲风多元,变化多端,风格强烈。

2008五月,neuyabe band 参与了由动态度(一个支持次文化及独立音乐的团体)举办的音乐节- 摇滚舞台的演出,首次发表neuyabe的歌曲。
演出之后abe就专心制作首张独立专辑, 而neuyabe band也告一段落。

在专辑的录制过程中,abe希望有个女声来演绎专辑里头的歌曲,就找来了鼓手-zee。 zee从小爱好音乐,接触过不同的乐器,如二胡,中阮,爵士鼓,吉他。由于音乐理念相近,zee加入了neuyabe,而neuyabe也从那时候成了双人组合。

由于大部分的歌曲都与生离死别有关,于是abe就将这张独立专辑命名为《纽约市优雅地离别》。
但,为什么纽约市,又为什么优雅呢?
原因是neuyabe中的 neu 译音 "纽",ya 译音 "雅", be 译音 "别",把他们凑在一起就组合成了 《纽约市优雅地离别》。

专辑里的多元曲风,neuyabe把他们称为"艺术摇滚"。
专辑里14首歌曲的次序编排随着曲风而连贯起来。
从第一首完整的摇滚乐开始慢慢地转换成电子摇滚,
然后再到回到最原始的acoustic, classical。
专辑里头也收藏了3首细腻的纯音乐。
钢琴、仿弦乐、喇叭、音效、不同节奏鼓点,共同交织出一首首neuyabe的音乐。

如果你仔细聆听《纽约市优雅地离别》,你会发现,每一首歌曲结束后会有一小段不一样的音乐,我们称它为"尾巴"。
细细聆听。。
这些以'爱'为出发点而创作的音符,
有的让你会心一笑,有的让你静静想起埋藏在内心深处的那一段遗失了的记忆。。

IKA:
两人组合Ika,来自古城马六甲,那个曾经承载历史重担,如今正在凝聚更多源自民间活力与气息的城市。在同辈人急着出走及向都市生活靠拢的当儿,他们选择俯视脚下那片土地所给予的平凡与真实,两人的合谋,酿造出洁净、简化和唯美的乐章,像海峡请风般,传诵着无限的惬意。

在清弹浅唱的曲式和架构下,本能和原始的意念主导着演绎和创作模式,从主唱略带稚气的歌声中,我们能听到历经了岁月打磨的痕迹,然而却无法掩盖那份与生俱来的歌唱欲望,还有那股随心所欲、无拘无束的自由主义情怀。

没有复杂的配器,化繁为简的格式,在感情充沛的人声与气定神闲的和弦拨挑之间,引领听者回到最单纯的状态,用本能和直觉去感受声乐的美妙。
