21st Century Time Travelling / FluidBorders / Auckland x Chengdu “A cross-border, cross-media, cross-frequency live experiment in manipulating the boundaries of real time” “这是一次操纵真实时间边界以跨越国界、媒介和频率的现场试验。” In our 2k19 World of Insta-connectivity, global time zones have lapsed into a vast online world that never sleeps. We have 24/7 access to vast canons of information and worldwide communications right at our fingertips. We can scroll into the halls of the past, dig deep into what’s been said and done — logged, time stamped, documented. We exist in within the ever aging present. But what if time was malleable? 公元二〇一九，人类世界因瞬息间即可链入的无垠网络而永动。我们滑动指尖便能遨游浩瀚的信息海洋，与世界交互；我们滚动指轮就能漫步时间的殿堂，探寻往事深处——登入、印录时间、存档。我们在流而不滞的当下存在。但，倘若时间亦能被锻铸？ On 27 July 2019 at 4:30 China Time and 8:30 New Zealand Time, two portals in Auckland and Chengdu broke into the fabric of time. This was a coordinated live experiment that seeked to collapse online and offline worlds, remixing audio-visual frequencies with communication media and reimagining them into a journey through "real time.” 在七月二十七日，我们将开启在奥克兰(8:30pm)和成都(4:30pm)搭建的两个传送门，做出打破时间网络的努力。两地此呼彼应，这是一次为了崩塌网络和现实空间的现场试验，通过拼接视觉，频率和媒体，完成一次“现实时空”的旅途。
Very few New Zealand bands can claim to be banned in China, but Auckland's Wukong the Monkey King – who recorded a previous album in Beijing and have songs in Mandarin and English – wear that badge. The band's bassist Kyle Ranudo tells Elsewhere they initially wanted to publish their songs in China but “they didn’t pass the reviewing process, many songs were removed

“If these people can stick together – and they’ve been around for a few years, paid their own way around China for over a year and recorded a previous album in Beijing which suggests they can – then they will certainly be worth following.
If they do hang in for the long haul this probably won’t be their finest work, but – with half a dozen full-length songs, an intro and two interludes, done and dusted in half an hour – this is a strong platform to stand, and thump, on.” - Graham Reid, Elsewhere blog
It's widely accepted that some of the most interesting things in life and the arts happen when cultures rub against each. Focus that down onto music and when genres are scrambled or denied, and when sounds from various cultures come into play you get Womads, contemporary world music and things like the recent albums by 75 Dollar Bill, Sarathy Korwar and . . . and this five-piece from Auckland.

Listen/purchase: Solar Power by Wukong the Monkey King 悟空
From the brand new album from Wukong the Monkey King 悟空 =D
Wade Wu-vocal, James Smith-gtr, Kyle Ranudo-bass, Jordan Neal-dr., Bryan-keys/sax
Overall, the release has Wukong moving more in a hip hop direction, and the music is still very aggressive with jazzy influences. Solar Power is one of the more mellow / melodic tunes, with Wade singing in Chinese.
The songs are rapped/sung in English & Chinese; if you look at the lyrics at bandcamp, it looks like all of the album’s Chinese lyrics include a translation to English, but the English lyrics are not translated.
The album is also on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/1kMDY2YCPGi75mKWFDiJwQ
UPDATE: Some more release info posted to fb:
P.S. We were going to publish the album on mainstream Chinese platforms. But unfortunately, quite a few songs were removed as they didn’t pass government standards (lol). Therefore we can not publish our materials for our fans in China.
Album release show coming up very quickly, Saturday, July 27, 2019 at Audio Foundation in Auckland:
