主持：Novelle / Boey

訪問嘉賓：Van Lefan 樂凡

Van Lefan (樂凡) is a Taiwanese interdisciplinary artist working between sound, movement, theatre, and visual arts. With her voice, guitar, flute, she moves between folk, pop, and experimental sound, writing songs that are inquiries into both personal and collective experiences. Her works serve as existential reflections on finding magic and purpose within the ordinary, and prayers for collective liberation.

Her debut album What Holds Us Together? (2022) is a sonic journey that synergizes folk, pop, experimental soundscapes and poetry, weaving a tapestry of ancestry, identity, ecological reverence and social justice. During her 2023 residency at What Lab, Lefan developed Unsent Letters: To Whom It May Concern, an experimental theatrical performance/installation, diving into the cyclical nature of interpersonal relationships, attachment, memories, and the subconscious. The five songs featured in this story are recorded, to be released as an EP in Fall 2024. In recent years, Lefan has performed at TAIWANfest Vancouver, Jade Music Fest, Dragon Boat Festival, Vines Arts Festival, Vancouver Mural Festival, and across Taiwan on a joint tour with Tennyson King in April 2024. She aslo works as a sound designer for theatre productions, and 4DSOUND technician at Lobe Spatial Sound Studio.

台灣跨領域藝術家，活躍於聲音、舞蹈、劇場和視覺藝術之間。透過她的歌聲、吉他與長笛，她游走於民謠、流行與實驗音樂之中，創作出探討個人與集體經驗的歌曲。她的作品反映了日常生活中為尋找意義與神奇力量的存在主義思考，並為集體解放而祈禱。

她的首張專輯《What Holds Us Together?》（2022）是一場聲音旅程，融合民謠、流行、實驗音景與詩歌，織就一幅關於祖先、身份、生態尊重與社會正義的圖景。2023 年，樂凡在 What Lab 的駐地計劃中開發了《未寄出的信：給相關人士》（Unsent Letters: To Whom It May Concern），這是一個實驗性的劇場演出與裝置藝術，深入探討人際關係的循環本質、依附、記憶與潛意識，將於 2024 年秋季發行 EP。樂凡也從事劇場製作的聲音設計，並在 Lobe 空間聲音工作室擔任 4DSOUND 技術員。
