the 23th session of Improvisors improvising another evening of the unexpectedly unexpected! featuring in random order:
- ColorfulLee ( Lee5 & Lisa)
Trumpeter Lee5, ever in search of new horizons beyond jazz and free improvisation, lets his horn wander through uncharted territories of sound. Beside him stands Lisa, a Taipei-born guitarist and sound artist who bends electricity and chance into delicate forms. In dialogue, they conjure a world where the trumpet’s breath is fractured, echoed, and reborn—spilling into a spectrum of shimmering tones and fantastical colors.
小號手 Lee5,jazz和自由即興的演奏者,喜歡嘗試各種不同的實驗音樂與聲響。這次將與擅長即興與電子實驗音樂、來自台北的吉他手/聲音創作者Lisa合作,藉由取樣小號的聲音,創造五顏六色的奇幻聲響。
- Ya-Nung HUANG / traditional wind instruments
The suona, a folk instrument with a long and rich history, has been widely used in ritual and ceremonial practices across various cultures. Its distinctive, expressive sound carries the weight of collective memory—marking life’s most significant transitions, from birth to death.
In this performance, the suona is not presented in its traditional form. Instead, its sonic material is stretched, looped, fragmented, and recontextualized within a contemporary electronic soundscape shaped by modular synthesis. The result is a shifting, unstable field of sound that resists fixed meaning.
Our intention is not to reconstruct tradition, but to open it—to transform sound into a permeable medium where memory, technology, and emotion intersect and flow. Here, sound becomes more than a representation; it becomes a mode of relation. History is no longer simply told—it is felt.
嗩吶作為一種歷史悠久的民間樂器,廣泛應用於世界各地的宗教與民俗儀式之中,其獨特音色承載著集體記憶——從誕生到死亡,標誌著人生的重大時刻。
在本次演出中,嗩吶的聲音不再是傳統的再現,而是成為聲音實驗的素材:被拉伸、循環、切割,並融入合成器所構築的當代電子音景中,展現出一種不穩定且不斷變化的聲響狀態。
我們無意重建過往的傳統,而是試圖打開它——讓聲音成為一種具有穿透力的媒介,使記憶、科技與情感在其中交織流動。此時,聲音不再只是載體,而是關係的建構者;歷史,也不再只是被敘述,而是被感受。

- Stefan Darklight
An experimental fusion of heavy industrial metal, Djent/Prog guitar riffs, and cyberpunk-inspired soundscapes. It blends syncopation and head-banging groove with cinematic textures, glitchy electronics and a tiny bit of gaming influence, creating an immersive, high-energy live experience that feels both artificial and alive. Original material presented still under research, and results may vary over time.
一種實驗性的融合:厚重的工業金屬、Djent/前衛吉他riff,以及受賽博龐克啟發的聲音景觀。結合了切分與甩頭的律動、電影感的音場、帶點故障感的電子聲響,再灑上一點遊戲元素,營造出沉浸式、高能量的現場體驗——既人工又充滿生命力。
原創素材仍在研究中,成果可能會隨著時間而有所變化。
- mimi ~ never quite the same again ~
repetition is the cemetery of the psyche. You can feel the burgeoning fractal moment as it is becoming on the edge of your sensitivity, ancient but never repeating. the machine can never surprise us - truly. your naked being aware. life is a circle with You. Life is a circle without you.
複是靈墓。時間慈恩。覺每獨刻。古但無復。機無驚也。赤存清醒。有您圓滿。無你環空。

- Pablo Liebhaber
Drawing from free improvisation and experimental jazz, Pablo Liebhaber transforms the snare drum, cymbals, and found objects into a shifting soundscape. Fragments of rhythm collide with noise, silence, and resonance, creating an unstable yet playful terrain.
Pablo Liebhaber 以自由即興與實驗爵士為基礎,透過小鼓、銅鈸與日常物件形塑流動的聲響景觀。節奏的片段與噪音、靜默和共鳴碰撞,生成一個不穩定卻遊走於玩味的場域。

23 represents a show shaped by creativity, freedom, and communication. In numerology, 2 carries the vibration of balance and partnership, while 3 resonates with self-expression, imagination, and joy. Together they create a dynamic number that speaks to collaboration fueled by creativity. A show influenced by 23 is a meeting point of harmony and spontaneity, where artists find flow between structure and improvisation. At 23Music Room, this energy becomes tangible—the venue itself amplifies the spirit of exchange, inviting performers and audiences into a space where dialogue, rhythm, and imagination intertwine.
Rooted in the symbolism of 23, each event is not just a performance, but a collective expression of possibility.
