Clockenflap返嚟喇！第二屆Clockenflap音樂節即將到來，您準備好沒有？
新一屆Clockenflap音樂及多媒體藝術節將於二零零九年十一月七日（星期六）八日假數碼港舉行，上一屆Clockenflap為期一天，今屆則長達兩天，務求令你在一片精彩的國際音樂聲、多媒體藝術和奇異的設計意念中留連忘返！
繼第一屆Clockenflap取得空前成功後，這個廣受歡迎的音樂節日將載譽重來，觀眾可在陽光下一邊欣賞頂尖樂隊表演，一邊躺在草地上感受音樂嘉年華氣氛。一如既往，數碼港是第二屆Clockenflap指定場地，那兒有悠悠碧海、柔軟草地，以及播放本地及國際短片的大型電視。
上一屆Clockenflap音樂會有幸請來曾被提名英國Mercury Prize的音樂勁旅Young Knives首次來亞洲演出。過去一年來，Clockenflap主辦單位舉行了多場The Peoples’ Party，為的是要把更多國際音樂人和藝術家帶到香港，包括Jose Gonzales、Ratatat及Handsome Furs。
節目總監Mike Hill興奮的表示：｢第一屆Clockenflap非常成功，事後我們諮詢了很多人的意見，決定把音樂節推至戶外。今次我們的演出陣容更加鼎盛精采參加者來自亞洲及國際其他地區。」
主辦單位今次與多位經驗豐富的伙伴合作，為Clockenflap帶來更多新原素，務求使音樂節更加有聲有色。是次音樂節將設有兩個大型戶外舞台，一個國際電影帳幕、一個藝術帳幕、生動的藝術裝置、一個激動人心的環保村、一個改良了的兒童區、多個休憩區以及一個私人貴賓房，在場還有各國美食。一如往年，主辦單位在推廣音樂和多媒體藝術之餘，還致力保護環境，場內設有垃圾回收箱，我們今回亦會通過連串環保工作，抵銷外地嘉賓所乘的飛機排放的碳污染物。
我們還要隆重宣佈來自英國的Blood Red Shoes將會是今屆Clockenflap的周六風雲組合。英國音樂雜誌NME形容Blood Red Shoes為｢你在大學迎新周第一天發現的型到不堪的一班後生」。
此外，來自美國的YACHT (｢Young Americans Challenging High Technology. 」) 亦會參與今屆Clockenflap。根據美國的Billboard雜誌指出， Yacht的｢夢幻流行曲猶如來自外星的工藝品」。
Hot Chip DJ - Alexis Taylor （英國）
曾被提名格林美奬的流行電子組合Hot Chip 主音Alexis Taylor將會來港為本屆Clockenflap當DJ。現時該樂隊正為其萬眾期待的新唱片埋尾，此專輯將會是該組合繼二零零八年推出的Made in the Dark」後另一傑作。Alexis只會偶爾做DJ，所謂精益求精，我們可以預期他將會為Clockenflap帶來一系列精采絶倫的經典的士高音樂、電子樂、樂與怒、Techno和優質流行樂。
今屆Clockenflap亦很高興請來香港多隊超班樂隊在主舞台表演，包括Chochukmo、Noughts & Exes及Poubelle International。另外，在電子音樂舞台演出的本地勁旅包括約Uptown Rockers、Songs for Children 及Sno Blind。在場的九米成七米的LED大屏幕將會同步播放他們不拘一格的精采現場表演。
在短片電影帳幕的那邊廂，觀眾可以欣賞由音樂錄影帶和動畫，製作單位包括英國的Warp Films 、Amy Neils、 I Shot Hong Kong，以及多位本地獨立電影製作人。
藝術帳幕＂是今屆音樂節另一新原素，內裡將設有會移動的藝術裝置，創作這些奇異玩意的藝術家包括Nadim Abbas、 C:A+D、 Outsign Lab及Pixel 8等。
音樂節的最後參加者名單將於日內落實，預計將有更多國際音樂和創作人、本地樂隊、電影和藝術原素登上名單。
門票售價及數量將於二零零九年十月一日公佈。
以下是暫定名單的部分參加組合…我們將於稍後公佈更多詳情。
Clockenflap is back! Brace yourselves, Clockenflap 2 is upon us, and this year the event is extended to 2 days. This music and multi-media arts festival returns on Saturday November 7th and Sunday 8th 2009 for a fantastic, fun-filled weekend of international music, multi-media arts and bizarre custom built contraptions!
Building on the first festival's huge success, Clockenflap 2 will allow attendees to enjoy cutting edge bands, take in the festival atmosphere and sunshine on one of Hong Kong's few usable outdoor lawn areas. The festival's Official Venue Partner, Cyberport - with its sea air, soft grass and cutting edge facilities - has been retained, as has the giant TV screen for showing local and international film shorts.
The last Clockenflap festival brought UK Mercury Prize nominees 'Young Knives' to Asia for the first time, and the organisers have been hosting The Peoples' Party throughout the year to bring quality international artists such as Jose Gonzales, Ratatat and Handsome Furs to our city.
"The first Clockenflap was hugely successful," says Festival director Mike Hill. "And after listening to the feedback, we decided to focus on the outdoor festival experience. We are building a richer, cooler line up of international and regional acts." The festival has teamed up with expert partners to improve this years festival and add more features. The festival now features two large outdoor stages, an international film tent, an arts tent, live-art installations, an exciting new Eco-Village, an improved kiddies play area, chill-out bar areas, an exclusive VIP room, international cuisine and much much more. Once again the organizers have made a strong environmental commitment with on-site recycling stations and offsetting carbon emissions incurred from artists' flights.
This year Clockenflap is proud to announce Blood Red Shoes (UK) as the Saturday night headliner.
"Blood Red Shoes are like the impossibly cool kid you spy on your first day of Freshers� Week." NME
YACHT (US) ("Young Americans Challenging High Technology.") will also be joining Clockenflap. "Dreamy pop tracks that sound like artifacts from another planet." Billboard
Hot Chip DJ set - Alexis Taylor (UK)
Alexis Taylor, front man of Grammy nominated electro pop pioneers Hot Chip will be jetting into Hong Kong for a DJ appearance at Clockenflap. With the band currently putting the finishing touches to the hotly anticipated follow up to 2008's epic Made in The Dark, Alexis who only considers DJ shows for one off, special events will step up to the plate for a scattergun selection of classic Disco, Electro cuts, Rock N Roll, Techno and credible Pop music.
Clockenflap also boasts some of Hong Kong's finest locally raised bands, with the likes of Chochukmo, Noughts & Exes and Poubelle International performing on the main stage.
On the Side-Flap local heroes Uptown Rockers, Songs for Children and Sno Blind will be throwing down an eclectic mix and live performance with interactive media featuring on the giant 9 meter by 7 meter LED screen.
Within the film tent film shorts, music videos and animations will be presented from Warp Films (UK), Amy Neils, I Shot Hong Kong, and an extensive program of local indie film-makers work.
The Arts tent, a first this year, will house moving installation art pieces from local artists, Nadim Abbas, C:A+D, Outsign Lab, Pixel 8 and more.
With the line-up being finalized in the following days expect more international acts, local bands, film and art.
Ticket prices and availability will be announced on 1st October 2009.
