In accordance with its goal of archiving and public promotion, New Music China Archive presents its first exhibition, during the 2008 Mini MIDI Festival: China/Taiwan Sound Archive Exhibition, curated by Licai Yang and Ya-Zhu Xu, with cooperate Yan Jun and Chung-Han YAO.

Mini Midi，中国惟一的户外实验音乐节，水陆观音的延伸，迷笛的实验舞台，地下摇滚的来世，噪音的亲人，独立机构的聚会。免费，好玩。minimidi.cn

《〈关于Mini Midi〉》

Mini Midi是中国最早和最大的户外音乐节——迷笛音乐节的一部分。2005年，作为迷笛音乐节实验舞台，第一次出现，以后每年和迷笛音乐节同时举办。由北京迷笛演出有限公司主办，撒把芥末工作室承办。

Mini Midi是一个非赢利的，面向实验音乐、前卫音乐、即兴音乐、电子乐、噪音和声音艺术的活动，它是中国仅有的两个同类音乐节之一（另一个是杭州的二皮音乐节）。它也是每周一次的“水陆观音”免费活动的延续，全部工作人员均为志愿者。

第一届Mini Midi进行了3天，有22个组合表演；第二届Mini Midi进行了4天，有23个组合表演；第三届Mini Midi进行了3天，有27个组合表演。他们中包括Staalplaat Soundsystem、Jan Jelinek、DDV、FM3、小河、王凡、姚大钧、林其蔚、Sulumi、李剑鸿等来自北京、杭州、广州、大同、青岛、台北和德国、加拿大、日本、韩国、美国、荷兰、马来西亚的艺人。

第一至第三届Mini Midi在北京海淀公园举办。

《〈关于Mini Midi 2008〉》

2008年，第4届Mini Midi将于5月1至3日，在汽车电影院内，两个好朋友酒吧门前的草地及室内举办。免费入场。两个好朋友酒吧是实验音乐活动“水陆观音”的举办场地。

活动将分为讲座/座谈、户外演出和电子音乐party。因此它不仅是音乐家和观众的聚会，也是独立音乐推广者、乐评人、厂牌经营者、活动策划人的聚会，它是一个音乐生态的聚会。演出并不是最重要的，对Mini Midi来说，培育并分享场景才是最重要的。

来自伦敦的Atlantic Waves音乐节、来自柏林的Staubgold厂牌，将分别主持一个讲座/座谈，介绍这两个世界驰名的实验/独立生命体。这也是本地策划人、乐评人、独立机构、独立厂牌的一次盛大聚会。

户外演出的艺人比往年减少，但依然延续了散漫的青草气息和开放的噪音精神。来自瑞士的Andy Guhl是第一个确认的外国艺人，他是国际地下/噪音场景的英雄和前辈，著名的Voice Crack的成员。台湾第一代噪音乐队，传奇的捣乱分子“零与声”，在离开舞台10多年后，第一次相聚，在Mini Midi亮相。另一位来自台北的艺术家，“美声噪音”王福瑞的身份是：台湾90年代噪音杂志《NOISE》主编、“精·神·经”和“在地实验”成员、台北艺术大学艺术与科技中心电脑音乐实验室主持人，目前已经确定的其他艺人包括李剑鸿（杭州）、积木（杭州）、洪启乐（福州）、王凡（北京）、李增辉（北京）、小河（北京）、FM3（北京）、武权（北京）、颜峻（北京）、怀丁陛士德（北京）、Justin Padro（纽约/北京）、TronOrchestra+SAM2+SomeMoreSams+（北京/东京）、八股歌（北京）、10（东京/首尔）、李铁桥（北京/奥斯陆）、麻沸散（北京）、Bruce Gremo（纽约/北京）……

两个晚上的室内演出，是山水唱片和Staubgold两个厂牌的专场，电子乐、DJ和party。

中国独立音乐有声资料馆将在Mini Midi开设第一次移动展览。

白糖罐和其他独立机构将现场摆摊推广独立出品。

Mini Midi 2008是噪音的花季，也是中国独立场景的绽放。撒把芥末、观音唱片、白糖罐、中国当代音乐资料馆、乌鸦音乐、威的生活便签、新茶网、两个好朋友、D22、愚公移山、Borderline……独立机构、个人、志愿者联合起来做一件事，甚至各做各的事，最后形成一个开放的、免费的节日。

中国当代音乐资料馆的宗旨是推动中国当代音乐／声音艺术的多元化发展，促进中国当代音乐／声音艺术参与国际间的交流与合作。资料馆将系统地收藏中国自二十世纪八十年代以来的当代音乐／声音艺术档案，为创作活动提供支持，为研究者提供便利，与公众分享信息资源。

中国当代音乐资料馆的第一个项目是收藏有代表性的独立发行的中国实验音乐／声音艺术作品。这是国内首次对独立音乐，实验音乐及声音艺术作品进行系统的梳理和公益收藏。第一批档案来自白糖罐工作室自2003年6月以来的收藏；从2006年起，陆续有撒把芥末工作室、观音唱片、山水唱片、豆腐唱片、盲聋哑学校、fm3乐队、林其蔚、86／33链等独立文化机构和艺术家向资料馆捐赠声音艺术／实验音乐资料。

中国当代音乐资料馆的收藏主要立足档案保存和公益传播，2008 mini midi音乐节期间推出首次公开展览："两岸声音资料展"，策划：杨立才、许雅筑，合作：颜峻、姚仲涵。

此次展览将系统地梳理中国大陆和台湾的实验音乐／声音艺术发展脉络，以中国当代音乐资料馆收藏的出版物和数字声音资料为主，结合艺术家提供的影像资料，以实物展示、声音试听、纪录片放映、讲座等形式向公众开放。

“中国当代音乐调查”是中国当代音乐资料馆成立后的首次公共计划，通过向不同人群发放调查问卷，以第一手的资料客观呈现当下中国的音乐发展／传播状况，为学术研究和公众传播提供参考。此调查计划将持续2年，预期回收有效问卷2000份。

活动将分为讲座/座谈、户外演出和电子音乐party。因此它不仅是音乐家和观众的聚会，也是独立音乐推广者、乐评人、厂牌经营者、活动策划人的聚会，它是一个音乐生态的聚会。演出并不是最重要的，对Mini Midi来说，培育并分享场景才是最重要的。

来自伦敦的Atlantic Waves音乐节、来自柏林的Staubgold厂牌，将分别主持一个讲座/座谈，介绍这两个世界驰名的实验/独立生命体。这也是本地策划人、乐评人、独立机构、独立厂牌的一次盛大聚会。

户外演出的艺人比往年减少，但依然延续了散漫的青草气息和开放的噪音精神。来自瑞士的Andy Guhl是第一个确认的外国艺人，他是国际地下/噪音场景的英雄和前辈，著名的Voice Crack的成员。台湾第一代噪音乐队，传奇的捣乱分子“零与声”，在离开舞台10多年后，第一次相聚，在Mini Midi亮相。另一位来自台北的艺术家，“美声噪音”王福瑞的身份是：台湾90年代噪音杂志《NOISE》主编、“精·神·经”和“在地实验”成员、台北艺术大学艺术与科技中心电脑音乐实验室主持人，目前已经确定的其他艺人包括李剑鸿（杭州）、积木（杭州）、洪启乐（福州）、王凡（北京）、李增辉（北京）、小河（北京）、FM3（北京）、武权（北京）、颜峻（北京）、怀丁陛士德（北京）、Justin Padro（纽约/北京）、TronOrchestra+SAM2+SomeMoreSams+（北京/东京）、八股歌（北京）、10（东京/首尔）、李铁桥（北京/奥斯陆）、麻沸散（北京）、Bruce Gremo（纽约/北京）……

两个晚上的室内演出，是山水唱片和Staubgold两个厂牌的专场，电子乐、DJ和party。

中国独立音乐有声资料馆将在Mini Midi开设第一次移动展览。

白糖罐和其他独立机构将现场摆摊推广独立出品。

Mini Midi 2008是噪音的花季，也是中国独立场景的绽放。撒把芥末、观音唱片、白糖罐、中国当代音乐资料馆、乌鸦音乐、威的生活便签、新茶网、两个好朋友、D22、愚公移山、Borderline……独立机构、个人、志愿者联合起来做一件事，甚至各做各的事，最后形成一个开放的、免费的节日。
