The World Underground releases trailer for Episode 2, documenting Japan, Korea, China.
Episode 2 follows Beijing based musicians GUIGUISUISUI (Dann Gaymer) and Noise Arcade (Michael Cupoli) on tour in Japan, Korea, and Northeast China. This is a film about the people you meet along the way. The endless sounds that now, can never be unheard. Noise meeting deep quiet, and confusion meeting exhaustion. An attempt to capture a three week trek through some of the most beautifully bewildering, drunken, noise-drenched landscapes on earth. To me, it’s always surprising just how much can be shared without language. An inability to speak with traditional language can still bring powerful bonds. As technology continues to grow, so shall this. Alongside the Korea based media outlet Aweh, our goal was to align ourselves with as many local artists as possible, and see what stories came naturally. Take all these sounds and stories that stuck to us over the weeks, and bottle it into 90 minutes. I really think you’ll enjoy it.

It will include many others. This film isn’t an attempt to provide any sort of objective documentation of the people, places, or artists we discovered on our journey. It’s not even meant to be a reflection of reality. It’s simply a story we’ve chosen to share. Take from it what you will.
If all goes as planned, this will be released in Summer 2017. As always, an exhaustive contacts page will be launched alongside new live recordings.
