Chia-Chun Xu

簡介

1997年生, 於2015年開始以Berserk名義進行Harsh Noise演出及創作, 初期以自製樂器產生的大量Feedback和合成器為主, 而後開始專注於效果器no-input的手法, 以大量效果器串接/錯用, 進而在內部產生出一連串多變且難以控制的反饋, 並透過大量的破音扭曲, 放大其音色. 受日本噪音, Death Metal, Hardcore Punk等音樂影響, 以高能量, 大音量且極具身體性的激烈現場演出聞名. 而在2017年, 他開始以本名使用no-input mixer, 短波收音機等媒材與自由即興樂手或民間談講者合作, 若以Berserk名義演出的Harsh Noise是其”外放”的創作型態, 他以本名的創作則是其”內斂”的表現, 雖同樣操縱電子雜訊, 但更注重於聲音與所在空間, 他者的對話關係, 以及聲音本身的細節和層次. 除創作者的身分外, 另為新興實驗音樂廠牌MKUltra Productions、Karma Detonation Tapes與Outer Pulsation主理人, 不定期發行台灣以及世界各地噪音, 實驗音樂等作品, 希冀盡其微薄之力將台灣的場景與世界連結並推廣.
