No Performance is the duo project of Li Song and Zhu Wenbo, formed in the summer of 2015. Before that both of them have their own solo project: Sean performs live coding and Zhu plays clarinet. In No Performance, Sean and Zhu explore each other’s experience, then develop new skills.
Summer of Store is their debut album. Play with Simon Bauer is a sine tones piece, using some super high and low frequencies close or beyond auditory threshold; Theatre Work by Michiyo Yamashita is an overlay of multiple outdoor recordings using clarinet/bass clarinet. Of course, Simon Bauer and Michiyo Yamashita are fictional names.

不演了是李松和朱文博的二人计划,成型于2015年夏天。在此之前两人都有各自的单人表演项目:李松书写代码文本,朱文博演奏单簧管。在不演了这个计划中,二人涉猎对方过往的经验,并开发新的方式。
《商店之夏》是不演了的第一张专辑。A面是一个正弦波作品,其中使用的主要是超高频和超低频,很多声音都接近或超出人耳的听阈边界。B面是多个户外的录音的叠加,使用单簧管与低音单簧管。当然,西蒙·鲍尔与山下三千代都是虚构的人物。
