中文名：奥伦·安巴奇 外文名：Oren Ambarchi 国籍：澳大利亚 出生地：悉尼 生日：1969年 简介：Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Oren Ambarchi started as a free jazz drummer, went through a Japanoise phase, and ended up cutting himself a place under the avant-garde sun as a lowercase guitarist in the early 2000s, pushing his instrument into territories similar to the ones explored by contemporaries Rafael Toral and Kevin Drumm. His releases on Tzadik, Touch, and Staubgold attracted international interest, but he remained in his home country, working hard at developing a local scene with his What Is Music? festival. Ambarchi was born in 1969 in Sydney, in a family of Sephardic Jews from Iraq. He spent his teenage years learning to play the drums, favoring free jazz at first. Listening to John and Alice Coltrane and other spiritual jazz allowed for his Jewish roots to catch on to him. He went to New York to study at an orthodox Jewish school in Brooklyn, immersing himself in mysticism by day and experimental music by night. The music of composers Morton Feldman and Alvin Lucier, the avant-garde jazz of John Zorn, and the noise of Keiji Haino prompted him to pick up a guitar and find something to do with it. The first answer was noise. Back in Australia, and strongly influenced by the Japanoise scene, he put together the noise/punk group Phlegm with drummer Robbie Avenaim, and later the Sisters of Menstruation. All the while he got an invitation from John Zorn, whom he had met while in New York, to perform at the 1993 Radical Jewish Culture Festival with the likes of Fred Frith and Ikue Mori — Ambarchi would eventually record a duo CD with Robbie Avenaim, The Alter Rebbes Nigun, in 1999, for Zorns label Tzadik. Australia quickly reclaimed Ambarchi as he was more prone to trying to develop something back home. With Avenaim, he organized the event What Is Music? in 1994, which quickly turned into an annual festival. This activity helped the guitarist develop contacts with the local free improv scene (Jim Denley, Stevie Wishart, Martin Ng, etc.), along with international artists. The guitarist only began his solo career proper in 1998. As occasions to perform live were becoming rare, he found himself with more time on his hands. Influenced by both the burgeoning Austrian/German scene of digital audio (Mego, Touch, Staubgold) and his love for the music of Feldman and Lucier, Ambarchi retreated into calmer, more meditative, and textural sounds. He recorded his first solo LP, Stacte (Jerker Productions, 1998), at home in one take without looking back. That, and Stacte.2 (1999), attracted the attention of the British experimental electro label Touch for whom he subsequently recorded Insulation (2000) and Suspension (2001), both beautiful examples of his new approach. Around the same time, Ambarchi began teaching improvisation at the University of Western Sydney. He made his first European tour in the summer of 2001. 从艺历程：奥伦·安巴奇 (Oren Ambarchi) 出生于悉尼的一个伊拉克犹太家庭。安巴奇自 1986 年以来一直进行现场表演。20 世纪 80 年代末，他在悉尼演奏自由爵士乐，最初是一名鼓手。在接受美国广播公司 (ABC) 广播员乔恩·罗斯 (Jon Rose) 采访时，安巴奇描述了他如何开始弹吉他： 我们排练室里正好有一台。我拿起它，开始用鼓槌敲打它，随心所欲地使用它，然后一件事又引出了另一件事。我很高兴我没有受过训练。我一直喜欢摇滚乐，我从小就听流行音乐和摇滚乐，所以我的想法是这样的，但我也对电子乐很感兴趣。我从来没想过要好好学弹奏它，它既是一件物品，也是一种乐器。 他的作品主要集中于对吉他的探索，但在一些现场表演中他也会演奏鼓和打击乐。 1994 年至 2005 年间，他与长期合作者、鼓手 Robbie Avenaim 共同在澳大利亚多个城市组织了“什么是音乐”音乐节。 2005 年，安巴奇为嗡嗡金属乐队Sunn O)))的专辑《Black One》做出了贡献，并在接下来的几年里成为乐队的常规现场表演者，同时还为《Oracle EP》和《Monoliths & Dimensions》专辑做出了贡献。 2009 年，Ambarchi 开始与多乐器演奏家Jim O'Rourke和日本著名音乐家/歌手Keiji Haino在日本进行一系列三重奏表演。这次会面被录制下来，并于 2010 年以“Tima Formosa”为名由 Black Truffle 唱片公司发行。这个三重奏合作每年都会在著名的东京场馆 Super Deluxe 继续进行。每场音乐会都由 Ambarchi 的 Black Truffle 唱片公司录制并发行。第一场是 2011 年广受好评的“Indeed”。 2017 年，他开始与美国作曲家Alvin Lucier合作，演奏新的电吉他作品。 自 2009 年以来，Ambarchi 一直经营唱片公司 Black Truffle。
