SHANGHAI SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
CONTEMPORALE
Curated by Split Works
Presents: MOONFACE
“Another sharp left turn: with nothing but piano and Krug’s voice, it’s the starkest, most gripping Moonface record to date, and one of the finest LPs of Krug’s prolific, unpredictable career” – Pitchfork review of Moonface’s latest album Julia With Blue Jeans On.
Thanks to the foresight of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, Split Works is privileged and overjoyed to be pioneering a new concept to bring globally renowned contemporary independent artists to symphony halls normally reserved for the largest promoters and orchestras. Each month this autumn, beginning with the Poet Pianist Moonface on Sunday September 21, experience sparkling and neoteric sounds that will reverberate around walls usually reserved for string quartets and horn sections.
Since January 2010, Spencer Krug has used Moonface as a venue for home-recorded instrumental and conceptual experimentation, expanding the ideas he developed collaboratively with previous projects Wolf Parade and Sunset Rubdown. Releases under the Moonface moniker have come quickly, each distinct from the other. After moving from Montreal to Helsinki, Krug teamed up with the Finnish band Siinai to create a lush rock record–2012’s Heartbreaking Bravery–driven by the dark despair of a breakup. Staying in Helsinki, Krug set off on yet another creative departure, driven by a rediscovery of love and a reconsideration of the Moonface persona he’d created for himself. The quietly stunning Julia with Blue Jeans On is the fourth Moonface release, bringing a degree of intimacy and self-reflection unlike anything Krug has produced to date.
Without a doubt, Moonface’s Spencer Krug is an excellent choice for the first performance of Contemporale. The audience will be moved by his deep but gentle voice and instrumentals in the Chamber Hall’s intimate setting. Shanghai Symphony Orchestra looks forward to sharing the first of four performances this autumn as part of Contemporale curated by Split Works.

上海交响乐团 呈现
CONTEMPORALE当代变奏系列演出
钢琴诗人 月脸Moonface专场
由 Split Works 策划
这一次，Krug又将带给我们全新的体验：整张专辑只有钢琴与歌声的对话，是Moonface目前所有作品中最杰出的，最扣人心弦的一张，也将成为Krug音乐生涯中最棒的专辑之一。
—— Pitchfork 给予了Moonface最新专辑《Julia With Blue Jeans On》高度评价
CONTEMPORALE，来自于Contemporary和Opera两个单词的组合，从字面上即可获知，这将是一次气质优雅的古典音乐和特立独行的当代流行音乐之间的碰撞。2014年9月，由Split Works策划，上海交响乐团呈现的“CONTEMPORALE 当代变奏”系列演出即将揭开帷幕。
作为Wolf Parade和Sunset Rubdown乐队的成员，Spencer Krug在2010年一月，独立展开了自己的Moonface计划，作为一个只留给家庭录音室创作音乐，并做实现各种个风格实验的自留地。在Moonface这个代号发表的不同作品里，Krug随性地在环境音乐，摇滚，以及民谣等不同风格之间游弋，让乐迷领略到了他不同寻常的另一面。
从蒙特利尔移居到赫尔辛基的经历，也为Krug的音乐注入了许多情感和自省色彩，在第四张专辑《Julia with Blue Jeans On》里，他只用自己的歌声和钢琴，就做到了和乐迷情感交流的效果。在Krug的钢琴演奏里，既有当代古典派的凝重，也有Keith Jarrett式的灵动，而他的歌声更是可以与钢琴演奏融为一体，并带给乐迷精致舒缓，而又直指人心的效果，这正是在Krug之前十多年的音乐生涯里难以听到的另一面。
毫无疑问，Moonface既是Spencer Krug一个重新建立自己音乐语言的途径，也更是他个人最为真情流露的一个平台。在这里平缓而又深度的音乐，承载着他动人的嗓音，直指每个乐迷的内心。能将这位极具才情的独立音乐艺术家带进上海交响乐团音乐厅让我们无比激动。感谢上海交响乐团的远见，让新古典的音乐概念来到中国。让我们在“CONTEMPORALE当代变奏”的演出上见！
