Hangzhou New Noise is a platform that showcases Hangzhou’s local creative talent, including everything from music to theatre, art, literature and design. The initiative was first conceived in Beijing back in 1997. Beijing New Noise helped to bring together a bundle of local musicians, who eventually laid the foundation of what is now the center of the country’s music scene. In 2007 Post-Beijing New Noise hosted another musical pilgrimage re-affirming Beijing’s position as the hub of China’s edgiest musical movements (though other cities now are certainly competing).
Hangzhou New Noise has been in the works for a while: it’s now time for this beautiful city to start making some noises! Beyond West Lake (Xihu) Music Festival (西湖音樂節) there is a whole generation of new musicians and artists waiting to be discovered.
香料 Spice
http://site.douban.com/spice/
Like the word – which brings to mind a sensual experience that draws on aromas, flavors, fun and energy, Spice’s music is possessed with an erratic psychedelic energy that invigorates listeners, bringing them to life. Each of the band members brings a bold and distinctive skillset to the table. Chen ChenChen (陈陈陈) an experimental electronic musician and guitar virtuoso creates the musical motives, Little Drummer (鼓手小) shapes the musical framework of the music by drawing on his sound engineering expertise, and Yī Lái – a professional studio musician – rounds the trio off. Brace yourselves for a new breed of post-rock that draws on math rock, dance music, and shoegazing vibes.
偷喜办 Toshing Band (Stolen Joy)
http://site.douban.com/toshingband/
Following on the heels of Spice, this six-piece will be bringing an interesting combination of indie/folk/post-rock to the stage. They’ve been going since 2012 and have played a number of iconic Chinese festivals including Shanghai Strawberry Festival 2013. Look out for their new E.P. in 2014!
Mabonona
http://site.douban.com/mabonona/
Founded in 2007, Mabonona draws from industrial, experimental, electronic and EBM (that’s electronic body music) influences to create the metallic clashes and mechanical movements that characterize the act’s sound. The songs are dark, contemplating isolation, oppression, power, and anger through themes such as world order, war and violence.

“杭州新声”里都是这些年来一直活跃在杭州本地的年轻人，这些年轻人根植于这座美丽的城市，用包含音乐、戏剧、艺术、文学、设计等不同形式努力发声。
1997年，“北京新声”被第一次提出，那个时代造就的音乐人我们已耳熟能详，2007年，“后北京新声”携着青春的破碎与美好，来势汹汹，北京，成为外地追梦者的心灵朝圣地。
我们把【杭州新声】称之为一次蓄谋已久的集体行动，杭州沉默了太久，也许你对杭州的记忆仅限于美丽的西湖，又或者是几乎每个音乐人都爱的，在西湖边举办的音乐节。而它对我们的意义在于：以拼贴去构建一个介于真实和虚幻之间的艺术空间，以我们熟悉的形式去阅读我们陌生的世界。
演出阵容:
杭州视觉迷幻摇滚－香料
香料是一支不按常理出牌的迷幻电子乐队，也是国内这种风格中难得一见的现场型乐队，美院特质的视觉表达让观众仿佛置身在一个大型互动艺术装置中，而这个世界，由香料创造的声光电一定会让你恍若隔世。
多面六人组合－偷喜办
继香料之后，又一支从西湖畔脱颖而出的摇滚劲旅。独立、民谣、后摇，样样具备，自2012年出道以来便驰骋于各大音乐节的沙场之中，包括2013年上海草莓音乐节。
地下工业机器－Mabonona
2007年开始以MABONONA为名进行音乐创作，风格界定“工业”“电子”“实验”，有EBM、节奏噪音之流的地下工业团体。冰冷的机械质感、节奏、金属敲击是钟爱的元素，用扭曲癫狂的噪音替代旋律贯穿始末。
嘉宾：铁奶油乐队
所有成员均植根于中国美术学院
2011年成立，已在杭州地下活动了三年。
拥有摇滚乐队的标准配置，但是阵容和风格每年都不一样，
上过大大小小的音乐节仍然集体恍神，
一支真诚的业余乐队
刚柔并济冷暖自知
不善言辞不喜宣传
2013年6月前风格为后摇，新ep将融入钉鞋，迷幻，电子等元素

关于《觉》音乐＋艺术节：
《觉》音乐＋艺术节是由Split Works发起并制作，每年在上海、北京双城齐发的年度音乐＋艺术巨献。2014年即将六岁的《觉》，一直致力于彰显这两座城市中最了不起的本土创意团体，以及来自于世界各地的优秀艺术家和他们无与伦比的作品。最难能可贵的是《觉》是一个注重“圈子”的平台，每年都会有风格各异的音乐人和艺术家加入到《觉》的大家庭，而《觉》就如同调和剂一般把不同的色彩搅拌均匀，使城市、音乐、艺术还有身在其中的人们之都能够融为一体，在不知不“觉”中编织属于自己的艺术篇章。
