This review covers three time periods, introducing and commenting on the works of representative female musicians in the three eras. Excerpt from Wu’s comment on AyuDAbuya
Listen AyuDAbuya
“Yao Chunyang, an experimental musician/sound improviser from the Naxi minority in Yunnan. It is an extremely rare combination of Naxi characteristics with electronic atmosphere, noise, sound art, and concrete electronic music. Yao Chunyang is not well-known to many domestic avant-garde music fans because of her ‘living in a safe and inner corner’ . The highly influential and legendary British avant-garde music magazine Wire had a report on her.
Although Yao Chunyang was with music academic background (Shanghai Conservatory of Music), in her music works, there is actually an ‘anti-academic’ aesthetic. At the same time, what is rare is that her music reveals awe of nature and wild yearning. Yao Chunyang’s pioneering temperament has a kind of wild fairy spirit.
This AyuDAbuya is actually her latest single album, only one but very long. In it, her unique Naxi voice is improvised, which is both natural and crackling with electric noise. In Yao Chunyang’s music, sometimes electricity and noise are part of nature. Although they are artificially produced, they flow freely without any affectation. After a long song, I can’t help but rush to the deep God Realm of the colorful cloud city – Yunnan.
云南纳西族出身的实验音乐家/声音即兴家姚春旸。是极为罕见的把纳西族特色和电子氛围，噪音，声音艺术，具体音乐这些类型相结合的奇人。姚春旸因为“偏安一隅”，并不为许多国内先锋乐迷所熟知。英国极具影响力的传奇前卫音乐杂志《Wire》对她有过专门的报道。
姚春旸虽然是科班出身（上海音乐学院），但在她的音乐作品里，实际上有一种“反科班”的美学。同时少见的是她的音乐里透出着对大自然的敬畏和野生式的向往，姚春旸的先锋气质里有一种野生的仙气。
这张《AyuDAbuya》其实是她最新发行的一个单曲式专辑，只有一首但时间很长。里面她独特的纳西族嗓音即兴，既天籁于自然之境，又交汇于电噪噼啪作响之中。在姚春旸的音乐里，有时电流，噪音也是自然的一部分，虽为人工制造，却流淌自在，毫无半分矫揉造作。一首长曲下来，不由得心神驰往彩云之滇的深处神域。
