Inspired by this summer's debut of Subtrainian, We at Temple Labs have concocted a special amateur film festival event called Rock Against Horror for Halloween (October 31st).  Anyone can participate, and Temple and Loreli will even help to fund your movie (we will give you 500rmb cash UPON COMPLETION of your film). 

Here are the rules:

1.Your film must be 666 seconds in length including credits, title cards and other nonsense. 

2.  You cannot do anything illegal which can be traced back to Temple in order to complete your film. 

  • Don't break into anywhere, don't start any fires, don't steal a cadaver from a medical school, don't kill a drifter, etc.  For real, behave or at least put on a convincing game face.

3. We reserve the right to ban your film if it promotes or puts a positive spin on any racist, sexist or homo/transphobic ideas. 

  • Violence, gore, and other mainstays of the horror genre are completely fine as long as the underlying purpose of your film does not promote bigoted ideologies.

4. You are only allowed to spend up to 500rmb on any props, equipment, software, filming, or editing.  

  • You will be reimbursed by Temple or Loreli upon the completion of your film. Temple and Loreli will only reimburse you the combined total of the receipts you present to us.

  • There are however, no rules against borrowing equipment or using gear you already have with your film.  Do you want to use your iPhone to film and spend 500rmb on fake blood? Fine. Do you want to use your own fancy DSLR to film, buy a new lens or filter for 500rmb and improvise on the rest of your props?  Also fine.

    We're also amenable to any approaches for how you utilize sound. We fully support attempts at fully silent films or films that include original musical scores as well. You have total freedom here to be creative and stretch that 500rmb as far as it will go.

5. You must contact either Pink (WeChat: templelivehouse) or Marshall (Wechat: ChairmanWOW) to let us know you are involved by Thursday, September 21st.  We will accept only 8 individuals or teams to participate so please get in touch sooner rather than later.

6. Your film must be completed, and given to Temple on a hard drive or USB flash drive by Tuesday, October 24th. You'll get them back.

A local panel of judges will use arbitrary criteria to determine a winner at the screening on Halloween night (Tuesday, October 31st).  Temple will provide our winners with a cash prize and a lot of free booze. Additional prizes for the winning filmmakers will be announced as we get closer to the date of the event.

INTO THE NIGHT

BELLY OF BEIJING BY RICKY REID

This film took 3 years to make and it came from one scene shot as test footage for a 24hr film competition in Macau.  

Ricky Reid, the film’s creator, didn’t end up making it to Macau and instead decided to take the one test scene and built a film around it here in Beijing.  There were three main cinematographers, Husain Amer, Nick Jewell, and Julien Rei, who provided the camerawork and technical insight.  All the video editing was done by Ricky himself, who has been a freelance editor in Beijing for the last 4 years.

All the actors are a collection of artists, architects, teachers, tourists, and shopkeepers throughout the Gulou area who were willing to get in front of the camera, read the script, and have some fun.

这部电影花了3年的时间,而且来自于澳门一场24小时电影比赛的镜头。 影片的创作者 Ricky Reid 并没有在澳门取景,而是决定在北京搭建一个场景并拍摄。Husain Amer,Nick Jewell 和 Julien Rei,这三个主要的摄影师提供摄影师和技术见解。所有的视频编辑都是由 Ricky 本人完成,他过去4年来一直是北京的一位自由撰稿人。 所有的演员都是鼓楼地区的艺术家,建筑师,教师,游客和店主,他们愿意将自己呈现在相机前,研究剧本,并以此为乐。

Watch a trailer of the film here.

DJs

During the day we will be marinating in disco GOLD with the formidable music collections of DJ Baume de Tigre & Cousin Kippy.

MUSIC 音乐

The Guzzlers are a four piece band of sassy lads from disparate corners of the globe and led by frontman 李岩, formerly of the renowned 2011 Global Battle of the Bands winners Rustic. Featuring Joni Guzzler on drums, Mikey Guzzdog on bass and Gannon von Guzzle on violin, they have fast become regulars around the Beijing scene, known for their flamboyant shows, sometimes passionate use of the Cajon, and bittersweet sonic tales of love, loss and the trappings of sexual indulgence.

由原rustic乐队主唱李岩和两位海外的音乐家组成,四个人本来就是特别好的朋友,组成乐队以后配合也是非常的默契。小提琴手是来自澳大利亚的脱口秀演员安迪,鼓手是在德国政府上班的Jonathan。他们都很喜欢朋克音乐和喝啤酒,用自己的音乐方式与在场的所有观众进行交流,相信在他们的摇滚乐的律动下每个人都将度过一个美妙的夜晚

Nocturnes曳取 are an Indie-Electronic band based in Beijing, China. Their music has been described as “sultry”, “atmospheric” and “emotional”, and sits somewhere between the intensity of Foals, the electronic elements of Bonobo and the pop sensibilities of Coldplay.

The band was officially formed in late 2015 and in March 2016 they independently released their first EP, A World Full of Adults. A string of gigs in the Beijing area followed, culminating in their support of American Indie Rock band Surfer Blood at Yugong Yishan. Soon after, in October 2016, they signed to Chinese record label Cao Tai Music. They released their first EP with Cao Tai, Dust Into Glory, in April 2017, receiving positive reviews, with the EP being described as a “sensual concoction of impeccably groomed arrangements, fluid nuanced piano chords and a seamless blend of English and Chinese vocals that linger in the air.” Their first full-length album is due for release this October.

Their EP, Dust Into Glory, is available for free here: https://nocturnes-china.bandcamp.com/album/dust-into-glory

Nocturnes曳取

是一个在北京的 indie-电子乐队。他们的音乐可以说是感性,有情调,有气氛,承载着Foals的能量也包含Bonobo风格的电子元素和Coldplay的流星感。

乐队建于2015年末,第一张EP, A World Full of Adults 在2014年3月发行。接着就是在北京一系列的演出,之后为美国indie乐队 Surfer Blood 做 support。不久之后,2016年10月跟中国厂牌 草台回声签约,并在2017年4月发行第一张和厂牌合作的EP,Dust Into Glory,回声良好。此EP被形容为“无可挑剔的编曲,流畅微妙的钢琴和弦,和融为一体的中文和英文演唱,非常感性的融入到了一起。”他们将在10月发行第一张专辑。

他们的EP,Dust Into Glory,在Bandcamp可以免费欣赏

Su Zixu is a grassroots singer-songwriter, poet, and the vocals and guitarist of band, The Paramecia.

“If a voice comes from a place faraway, it is the sound of icebergs cracking. If that person pours his emotions with his guitar, it is because he prefers not to dissolve life’s rigidity with tears. Poetry does not stray far from the soul, music stays close to the body. The synergy of the rhythm of their breaths creates an exit, of which the left is resistance, and the right is reconciliation.”

2013 Released poetry collection 青年情怀的冰山一角,and formed The Paramecia

January and February of 2015 Performed at the original music show, The Song of China, with his song Without You and created the piece 融解

Fall 2015 Created, recorded, and released his first EP, 星尘往事, within two and a half months. Released poetry collection 恰似少年人

2016 Armed with a guitar, he toured 20 cities in China on his own. 

January 2016 星尘往事 winter tour - 12 cities.

March 2015 春雷 tour - 8 cities

Full-length album from the Band, 向着风燃烧, is in the works.

苏紫旭是根源唱作人,诗人,The Paramecia乐队主唱&吉他手。

“如果一把嗓子从很远的地方传来,那是冰山开裂的声音。如果那个人抱起吉他开始抒情,是因为不愿用泪水去缓解生活的生硬。诗歌离灵魂最近,音乐离身体最近,当二者呼吸的律动同步,会有一个出口,左侧是抵抗,右边是和解。”

2013年地下发行诗集《青年情怀的冰山一角》,同年组建The Paramecia乐队。

2015年1月2日参加原创音乐节目第二季中国好歌曲,参赛作品《没有你》,限时原创作品《融·解》。 

2015年秋,在两个半月时间内完成个人首张EP《星尘往事》 录制发行以及再版诗集《恰似少年人》。

2016年一个人带着一把琴单枪匹马全国二十站。一月星尘往事冬季巡演十二站,三月春雷巡演全国八站。

乐队全长专辑《向着风燃烧》筹备中.

The Harridans are a Beijing-based, five piece Art-Rock band led by Daniel Taylor. After releasing their debut album 'Fuzzing the Muse' last year, the group has gone on to play numerous gigs and festivals in China, including Midi and Zhangbei. Their music ranges from progressive rock freakouts to chilled out disco tunes, all covered in a psychedelic melancholy.

来自北京的The Harridans 是由 Dan Taylor 带领的五人艺术摇滚乐队。自从去年发行的首张专辑 Fuzzing the Muse,The Harridans在中国进行了一系列的演出,包括在Midi 和 Zhangbei 音乐节演出。他们的音乐既有前卫摇滚也有 disco feel 的小曲儿,但都围绕着迷幻的忧伤。

ABOUT THE MUSICIANS/ 关于音乐家:

A.Borealis (AKA Shannon Lethbridge curator of An Art Show and lead vocals for The Plum Trees) has a passion for all things art. She has created her own unique method of writing lyrics, poetry and stories. First, she creates instrumental music followed by a session of yoga, next she paints and to finalise the process she puts pen to paper to draws words from her artwork. All in all her writing is very internal, emotional and visual while her music is celestial and ambient using her voice and ukulele. 

A.Borealis(北极光):也即Shannon Lethbridge,Shannon是"艺术展演"活动的创始人,梅子树乐队(The Plum Tree)的主唱。她热爱各种艺术,平时喜欢用一种特别的方式写作歌词,诗歌和故事----首先弹奏一些器乐曲,然后做一套瑜伽,然后画画,最后从这些把从这些画里得到的灵感诉诸笔端。总之,她的文字内在,敏感,富于画面感,她以UKULELE和人声为主的音乐听起来无比美妙。 

Yahkehbu (Jacob C. Alford García) is a composer, performer and digital artist based in Beijing. He plays the guqin, an ancient seven-stringed Chinese zither. Currently studying at the Central Conservatory of Music, he has traveled all over China holding recitals and performances of new works, traditional music and original compositions for qin. Most recently he released an album of improvised qin music  《Lush Mountain, Tranquil Courtyard》. Yahkehbu embraces traditional Chinese culture, American art music, and electronic techniques in order to organize sounds for the modern ear.

(Āilegǎncí)

Is a new short opera for Chinese instruments and electronics, originally designed for viewing online. The work speaks to elements of Chinese literati culture of which the guqin is closely associated. The opera is an attempt to discover how yayue or Elegant Music such as guqin fits in this new generation of a growingly multi-cultural China and among our adopted digital environments.

“Elegance"

《哀乐感词》

(Āilegǎncí)

是一个全新用中国乐器与电子音乐演奏的歌剧作品。最初的想法是为网络视频而创作。这个创作是关于中国文人文化与雅乐。在这个作品中可以让我们思考像这样的古代文化,比如古琴是如何重新进入我们现代的多元化中国以及我们的数字化生活。

Dan Taylor has been performing in and around Beijing for the last few years. he fronts the bands 'The Harridans' and 'Phuture Vulture and the Absolute', and often plays solo acoustic gigs.

After attended the University of Camberwell College of Arts where he completed his bachelor's in illustration, explored forms of printing processing, and worked alongside artists of various disciplines, he has since Lived and Exhibited in Paris and London. 

“The Night is an Old friend” is a series of prose poems put together regarding the subject of old age. The poems presented tell the same story/moment from different perspectives. It has been a goal of ours, my brother and I, for some time now to work together and the subject of old age presented an opportunity for the both of us to explore a topic we were unfamiliar with. Tendai has always been a fan of detail (his work is lined and intricate), while I’ve always made it a point keep my writing somewhat simple. I suppose we were intrigued by the result such a collaboration might create. 

ABOUT AU FAIE 李海得:

Excavated from the depths of the internet. Part man, part human. Fully abreast with the latest developments in style and ego-politics. Interned in Administrative Detention, and only got harder. Decent smelling body odor. Light drug use recommended. 从最深的网上。人跟人。并对最近的时髦和自恋政治很受。主流了,就变更凶。体味还好闻。应该要用点毒品。

“New Beijing” is a video art project exploring the idea of a retrospective philosophy behind the latest city planning attitudes in Beijing. The venerated idol of 老北京 lends itself to ever-restrictive zoning policies. Constant use of the old as an authority over the present is explored through the lens of the future. “新北京”是一个视频艺术作品表达北京的回眸发展的注意。

Cartoccio

Cartoccio is a project born in Beijing in the winter of 2015. It aims to share and elevate the southern Italian cuisine tradition. Literally cartoccio means “paper cone”, which was the main serving “flatware” in Italy right after the II World War, when house kitchens were very rare, and food was chiefly available in the streets. Nonetheless, the food goodness still played a major role, as the cartoccio helped to restore its huge tradition.

Cartoccio kitchen operated in Fangjia Hutong throughout 2016 catering the surrounding bars such as El Nido, Jiao, Fang and Cellar Door as it catered in many private events, fairs and markets all around the city. 

Cartoccio will be selling a range of snacks at Yue Space during the market.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Eduardo Akins developed a passion for photography out of his wanderlust; he began traveling extensively while living in northern California, capturing memories of his encounters with new cultures.  Although he initially began shooting digital photography, a stolen camera incident in 2010, while on a year-long sabbatical from teaching, guided him to start working with analog film.  He has found that this photographic approach has provided a more meaningful output in his images that retain an aesthetic quality unmatched by digital.

This is a project that has never been attempted before in Beijing and we’re very lucky to have the best talents to bring it to life. Come to DDC on the 23rd February at 8pm as we make history by bringing Beijing’s vibrant poetry and music scene together to make something new and groundbreaking.

Step 2 - The poets and bands decide on extent of their collaboration and create a piece of music inspired by the poets poetry over a two week period. 
Step 3 - The bands perform the collaboration piece with or without the poet on top of songs from their usual sets. The poets also read the collaboration poem with a few poems from their usual sets.

乐队介绍 bands: 
Macondo (math-rock, post-rock) 

MACONDO 乐队做的是令人兴奋的音乐:受 70 年代迷幻摇滚启发,融合了器乐摇滚、后摇、数学摇滚和电子音乐。激扬的鼓点、飘渺复杂的吉他、极具攻 击性的贝斯,以及超然的合成器音效交织在一起,构建了其独特的音乐,在变 幻莫测的节奏驱动下,呈现某种氛围和空间感甚至心理压迫感。 Macondo make some of the most interesting and exciting music coming out of Beijing today: instrumental rock with elements of math-core, infused with vibes drawn from 70s psychedelic music, adding the production and sound of today’s electronic music. Their unique music shifts from sounds that are ambient and heavy, spacious and dense to atmospheric but rhythmically driven. Bombastic drumming, layered with lush floating guitar textures and earth-shaking energetic bass attack, and otherworldly synthesiser sounds.  

自 2014 年成立始,Macondo 迅猛袭击北京音乐现场,他们的演出往往令观众 瞠目结舌,并被形容为“火山摇滚”。 Formed in 2014, the band quickly made a splash on the Beijing music scene, their live shows left audiences open-mouthed, describing it as ‘Volcano Rock’. 

Sardine Is Back & The Wheel Is Broken (psycho-punk) 

Sardine Is Back and the Wheel is Broken is an improvised psycho-punk band. 

The Peppercorns (Psychedelic Rock) 

迷幻,根源,实验,后朋?这是一个很难用一种特定风格去定义的乐队。毋庸置疑的是来自六七十年代艺术摇滚的影响,在保有旋律性的同时进行一些新奇又古老的尝试。复古的吉他段落与70年代模拟合成器之音升起又坠落。轰鸣!激荡!如同所有苦涩炙热的不眠之夜。

The Peppercorns is a band that plays heavy psychedelic rock music rooted in a classic 70's style, drawing inspiration from prog and art rock. The band is guitar heavy with experimental synth however their songs still maintain a pop sensibility. Fronted by Edog Wonderlogg II with Kangaroo Zhong on guitar, Brain 2.0 on drums, and Yan Von3000 on bass. Get ready for helicopters, paratroopers, and atomic lizards. 

ANXT (Cape Town, chilled DJ) 

来自开普敦,南非的anxt, 用音乐作画笔,把一列列的电子元素描绘成一座座的感情丰富的声音景观。他从现在他生活的城市北京寻找素材,采集声音,融入hip hop节奏,雕刻出引人入胜的一幅一幅生动景象。 “我对大自然与城市景观的热爱是我创作的最大灵感。我极力用音乐来表达与描述在我脑海里对周围影像的感觉,希望通过这样的方式保存我希望保存下来的的时刻和想法,我也希望用通过音乐来把这些翻译给我的听众。” 他也是最近北京现场最火爆的新晋摇滚乐队Macondo乐队成员之一,他在乐队里创造的高能量电子成分是乐队不可或缺的独特之处。 他是听着电子乐长大的那一代,在Bonobo, Tycho, Beacon, Nosaj Thing 影响下,anxt创作的音乐富有强烈的感情,听众在听音乐的同时感受到的是anxt看到的世界。 anxt 目前正在进行他的第一张EP的录制,预期在2017年春天发行。准备好在音乐的时空里起飞了吗?

Hailing from Cape Town, South Africa, Anxt fuses an array of musical elements to create moody electronic soundscapes. Set to the backdrops of urban field recordings with hip hop carved beats he takes you on a journey of the world that he’s lives in. “My love for nature and urban landscapes is what influences my sound, and I try and contextualise this imagery into a musical soundscape that captures these moments or ideas, and I try and translate them to the listener.” He is also makes up a quarter of Macondo which has been making waves around the Beijing music scene, to which he lends his skills as producer and songwriter to create high energy “Electronic Post Rock”.  Influenced by the likes of Bonobo, Tycho, Beacon, Nosaj Thing and the music of his childhood he creates deeply emotional music that gives the listener a glimpse inside the world which is anxt. anxt is currently working on his debut EP which is set to be released in spring, 2017, so get ready to be transported.

乐队:脏手指 Dirty Fingers/Subs/ Dress Code

脏手指 Dirty Fingers

成立于2013年解散于随时。

起初是由管啸天组成一支学生乐队。

随着社会乐手邴晓海的加入成为了一支流氓乐队。

后又吸收了巴西鼓手赵子龙和钢琴大师张海明。

成为了一支永世长存不朽的传奇摇滚乐队。

Dirty Fingers is a Psychedelic Shanghai band formed by Screaming to the Sky, Dawn Ocean, Tomorrow Ocean and Son of the Dragon. They are heavily influenced by A-HA (before it was cool), DressCode, Olodum Sounds From Bahia, Subs and Stephen Chow.  

Subs

SUBS,立场鲜明,风格特立。在中国,很多爱摇人称其为最好的乐队,在全世界,他们的每次国际巡演都带去横扫一切的震撼!SUBS不投靠虚假商业宣传和唱片公司包装,弃绝签约,DIY且纯真,摇滚的精神精髓和现场精髓是他们唯一的标签。 
直接,有力,躁,冲。有点怪。骨子里彻头彻尾的PUNK,但融合了EMO、GARAGE、NEW WAVE、POST ROCK多种音乐元素,新配器突出了对Postpunk和Psychedelic音乐元素,升级艺术性。很难用现成的音乐门类去界定它,也很难预计它接下来会发出什么怪声,SUBS是一支真正开创了自我风格的摇滚乐队。 

Subs are among the strongest, longstanding independent voices in the Chinese rock scene.  As a band they have remained fiercely aloof from commercial companies and recording contracts instead favoring a staunch, unwavering DIY ideology for making music, performance, and self-promotion.  Subs' style is constantly evolving. They have explored and guided the aesthetics of punk, post-punk, garage-psych, and synth-pop in China over the past decade. 

Subs are performing for us in preparation for a length domestic tour this coming Spring.  I'm glad to have had Subs accept my invitation to play with Dress Code and Dirty Fingers and elated to know they remain SO down to earth despite being major figures and trendsetters in Chinese rock.

But don't just take my word for it - 

Alex of Dirty Fingers says: "In Brazil, we have a saying.  The Bossa Nova, she spreads her wings wider than the open arms of the Redeemer.  There is no truer way to describe the ingenious majesty of Subs.  Subs are smoother than the closest bikini wax I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of bikini wax jobs because I am from Brazil.  Brazilians."

Alfie of Dress Code says: "Subs rock harder than Paul Hogan glassing a wallaby in a Vegemite factory on Boxing Day.  I'm from Australia."

Dress Code (USA/CAN/AUS) 

Fast as fuck, sick pits and fueled by beer, DRESS CODE from Beijing, will throw some fastcore-hardcore- power violence down your throats. With members from USA, Canada and Australia and a history of past bands longer than our bassist's history of ex- girlfriends, DRESS CODE will leave you sweat-stained, covered in beer (and maybe some blood) and mostly, a good fuckin' time. 

就是他妈的快和混乱!以喝啤酒维生的北京四人组

DRESS CODE,会将fastcore/hardcore/power-violence

强行灌进你的喉咙!乐队成员来自美国,加拿大♙澳洲,扨些老

屁股们玩过的乐队名单比他们贝斯手的前任女朋♚名单执要长!当

DRESS CODE 

离开的时候,你的身上会汗渍斑斑,沾满啤酒,扨绝对是最他妈美妙的时刻!

Sinohearts front man Zhong has crafted a very special Valentine's DJ set so if you're not properly bombed by then he's got your back. 

And finally, in honor of Valentine's Day, Pink has a special offer from the bar: 2 for 1 on Blow Jobs all evening. Interpret that how you will.

You may not have heard of APEPCY before and that is the point, this event is to raise awareness of the work they do. AIDS Prevention Education Project for Chinese Youth (APEPCY) was officially launched in 2006 to help prevent the spread of AIDS through control education. They are currently raising funds for two major projects, one to provide financial support for AIDS orphans and another to provide prevention education. Their mission is to set up stations in schools across China to train teachers to provide education to families and students. There are currently over 700 stations. The stations teach sexual and emotional responsibility.

It won't cost you a dime, or a mao, as it were, so get yourself down to Temple and join the Lorelians on 11.11

Genjing Records, Fruity Shop (待定), Ran Music, Indie Records, Outdustry, C-Rock, Chipped CD vendors, musicians, promoters. Buy music. Buy music. Buy music.

Why these 3 decades?

We don’t have to explain ourselves to you.

Why should you come to this party?

Because we’re the shit. You’re gonna get a snapshot of Beijing rock set against a backdrop of the last half-century of rock heritage. Peppercorns, Hotline, Elenore. Post show we can all get weird and dream about the future.

Congrats Bryce Lewis and Sophie Haas for taking home the top prize for their essays on indulgence! We look forward to posting their works in the upcoming weeks.

Loreli's launch party + essay awards ceremony was a drunken good time, as can be corroborated by all the various media posted below. First, there was the awards, with hats off to our six judges, three honorable mentions, and two top-prize winners. Many of the submissions will go up on the Read section over the next few weeks. Click and listen for a slightly inebriated awards ceremony/brief reading of winners' excerpts to an overly sober audience:

But not to worry, people got on their horses, one shot at a time.

And pretty soon the BEAST was unleashed. (Seriously who invited this broad?)

And how can we forget, the schmaltzy poems submitted to our DRUNK POETRY BOX throughout the night. See Dec 8th's Read page for some of the submissions. 

"I went to the worst kind of bar hoping to get killed. instead I just got drunk again." - name that poet
