Interview with the audio chameleon Douglas
Without any sort of campaign, ballroom dance or fireworks Chengdoo.com recently started an online radio. This additional part of the site features music and everything audio that is produced in Chengdu.
Backbone of chengdoo radio are regular interviews with active members of the community like artists and musicians and features of their works.
In the first interview DJ Joe talks to one of Chengdu's most active, prolific and diverse musicians Douglas Lee who plays in various and always changing projects, formations and bands (God's own plan, Strictly Platonic and Electronic Lounge with DJ Joe are some of the more consistent ones) in a dozen different places and at even more occasions.
Who is this guy with changing synonyms, changing glasses and hairstyles, skirts and tops? You see him performing with Chinese and Western strings intruments, beatboxing and Mcing You see him jumping around at every good jam crossing and breaking musical boundaries, creating a surrealist fusion of ambient, jazz, ethnic sounds from Asia, America and Europe, afrobeat, dubstep, dnb, dub, experimental, stage play and dadaist noise.
In the interview Douglas talks about his origin, his various influences in music and poetry, the different underground scenes in the US, Finland, Japan and China he experienced, his past, present and future projects in Chengdu the contradiction of money and music, men and women and his love for queer sounds and exitement when the crowd freaks out.
