This is a model Aquaponics system for home, similar to what you will create on Sunday. The Subject : How to build a home Aquaponics system By Mr. Song and Mr. Bian The Time：Dec 1st 1pm-3pm The address：1035 Changle Rd, 2nd floor, Xuhui District, Shanghai Sign up here Material(provided): plastic basin glass tank tubes 2W aquarium pump timer ceramics Fee：160Yuan/person Goal: Everybody who attends this workshop could make a aquaponics system to take home, and learn how to do it. 主题：鱼菜共生工作坊 时间：12月1日下午1点至3点 地址：长乐路1035号2楼 报名 材料（提供）： 塑料水盆、玻璃鱼缸、管件、2瓦鱼缸泵、定时器、陶粒。 费用：160元／人 目的：教你如何做家用鱼菜共生系统，你可以现场做一个带回家！ 关于鱼菜共生：

“种菜不用浇水、养鱼不用换水”，这就是鱼菜共生！只需要给鱼喂食，就可以一举两得。

这是一种在无土环境中建立的鱼，菜和微生物的闭合循环。鱼的排泄物能够为植物提供营养，微生物负责分解鱼粪、提供养分，植物吸收后，水被生态净化，鱼得以生存。整个循环没有农药化肥，健康干净无污染，符合现代健康生活方式。]]>

The Subject : The Aesthetics of Music and My Attitude towards Musical Improvisation By Lionel Marchetti, The Time：Nov 10 1pm-3pm The address：1035 Changle Rd, 2nd floor, Xuhui District, Shanghai Imagine what musical rhythms will like be when music meets “Concrete” and aesthetics. On this upcoming Nov 10, we are to invite Lionel Marchetti, the noted French Musique Concrete composer, to Xinchejian to share with us the aesthetics of music and his attitude towards musical improvisation. This speech for music is more like a performance than a mere formal speech. Due to the limited number of seats, applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. 1. Musique Concrète, meaning concrete music, is a form of contemporary music. In addition to sounds derived from musical instruments, it uses voices or sounds recorded from nature. The theoretical basis of musique concrète as a compositional practice began in the early 1940s, developed by Pierre Schaeffer and other musicians. 2. Lionel Marchetti is a noted French electroacoustic music composer and improvised musician, a sound and visual artist and a poet. He is an educator as well. Contents: 1. A brief introduction to Musique Concrete 2. Music works sharing 3. An introduction to the aesthectics of electroacoustic music 4.An introduction to musical improvisation and the composer’s attitude towards it 主题：莱昂内尔•马尔凯蒂；来自法国具象音乐作曲家的音乐美学和即兴音乐态度 当浪漫遇到具象，音乐遇见美学，想象这样的音乐会是什么样的旋律嘛？11月10日下午1点到3点莱昂内尔•马尔凯蒂将在新车间，分享主题—来自法国具象音乐作曲家的音乐美学和即兴音乐态度—-音乐专场演说，记住是“演说”，不是演讲，席位有限，预定赶早。 1、所谓“具象音乐”(Musique Concrete) ，也就是用自然界或人类发出的声音（乐器以外）作为原始素材而以各种录音及音响手法加工制作出的现代音乐。40年代末由法国人 Pierre Schaeffer、 Pierre Henry 等人首创，是法国对现代音乐的重要贡献。 2、莱昂内尔•马凯蒂是今天法国电子音乐和即兴音乐的代表音乐家之一。也是一位诗人和视觉艺术家。他是一位活跃的作曲家、即兴演奏者、声音艺术家和教育家。 分享内容： 1、 简单介绍他眼中的具象音乐； 2、 介绍和展示自己的音乐创作； 3、 介绍和分享电子原音音乐的美学； 4、 分享什么叫做即兴音乐与即兴音乐创作的态度； ]]>
