藝術家簡介／ Artist Biography

木小孩／MU Child

出生於台灣宜蘭，專注於多媒體聲音創作，他的音樂揉合虛幻的電子音樂，文明科技的環境噪音與自然界聲響。由於對聽覺有很深的感受，木小孩在視覺和聽覺之間自由進出，對他來說，「視覺上的各種美學可以完全轉換成聽覺，如比例、形體形狀、質感、表情…等。」從二十二歲起，木小孩就「以聽覺為主，去探討『結構』的各種抽象概念」，透過聽覺，他無需說明，可以「盡情去感受那些無法言語的感受」。

在日本、美國及英國獨立音樂出版體，以MU和MU Child的筆名出版CD （包括：2003年日本大阪音樂廠牌C.U.E出版音樂作品『MU』專輯；2004年，美國獨立廠牌Centibel出版音樂作品『R/MU/X』及英國實驗廠牌V/VM出版『BBBunny!BBunny!!Bunny!!!』專輯；2005年日本獨立廠牌Lostfrog出版音樂作品『Blod』；2007年美國羅德島音樂廠牌Secret eye出版『Giant kingdom』等。）2004年獲邀參加台北國際音樂節；2007年獲選「雲門舞集」第四屆「流浪者計劃」，前往印度參與靈修課程，學習印度管樂器，沿途採集當地音景，並收錄於其「巨人王國」個人創作計劃。2010年為「雲門舞集2」之 『春鬥』中的舞蹈作品＜裂＞創作音樂。

除音樂外，現正致力經營【木小孩】手工肥皂品牌，傳達素樸的生活與像小孩子般純真的情感。【木小孩肥皂】是2010臺北藝穗節的贊助單位之一。

MU Child, born in Taiwan - Yilan, focuses on multimedia sound creation. His music combines illusive electronic, environmental noises and natural sounds. Being inherited a deep passion with hearing, MU finds himself moving freely between visual and audio medium. For him, "the visual aesthetics can be completely converted into a variety of audio, such as the ratio of body shape, texture, faces, etc.". At the age of 22, MU started using “audio” as the media exploring the variety of abstract concepts.

Using MU／MU Child as pseudonym, published CD album in Japan, USA and Britain (including: by Japan music label C.U.E, Osaka in 2004; by America music label Centibel in 2004; <> by British experimental label V/VM; by Japan independent music label Lostfrog in 2005; by America Rhode Island music label Secret eye in 2007, etc ) . In 2004, MU was invited to participate in Taipei International Music Festival. In 2007, being selected in the “Wanderer Project” of Cloud Gate Dance Theatre, MU travelled to India, attending spiritual courses, learning Indian classical flute, and collecting local soundscape alongside. In 2010, MU created music for the dance work “Split” in the “Spring Riot” programme of Cloud Gate 2.

In addition to music, MU is committed to his own handmade soap brand, conveying the life and naïve innocence of childhood emotion. “MU Child Soap” is one of the sponsors of 2010 Taipei Fringe Festival.
