廖憲一《後花園：刺》

廖憲一《後花園：刺》為中提琴、氣球自製樂器與即時電聲

Hin-Iat, Liu “Full of thorns in the Post-garden” for Viola, Balloon Instruments and Live-Electronic (2020)

 

樂曲解說

 

    本作品以後花園(Post-garden)中的「帶刺的植物」（例如：荊棘、玫瑰、仙人掌、鬼針草…等），依照那些植物的特徵以及衍伸出來背後的用意意圖，擬成兩個強烈對比的不同角色，更加以「刺」特徵運用聲響來描繪。

    「刺」一端是尖的，用來攻擊、戳破、諷刺、傳遞、擴散、高傲自信，以高頻尖刺、浮動、短促且金屬較重的聲響描繪（中提琴）；另一端是盾的，用來防禦、保護、被攻擊的傷痛、膽小害怕，以低頻遲鈍、頻穩動、長線面狀的聲響描繪（氣球），利用中提琴與氣球自製樂器之間，角色互相模仿、諷刺或融合（尖角色模仿諷刺的比例比鈍角色越來越多）漸變至角色互換（中提琴頓角色，氣球尖角色）

    This music imagines that the post-garden is full of "thorny plants" (for example: thorns, roses, cacti, ghost needles, etc.), according to the characteristics of those plants and the intention behind them, it is drawn up. The two strongly contrasting characters are depicted using sound with the characteristic of "thorn".

    One end of the "thorn" is sharp, used to attack, pierce, satirize, transmit, diffuse, proud and confident, and is depicted with high-frequency spikes, floating, short and heavy metal sounds (viola); the other end is shield, Used for defense, protection, the pain of being attacked, timid and fearful, depicted with low-frequency dull, frequency-steady, long-line and surface-shaped sounds (balloons), using viola and balloons to make musical instruments, the characters imitate, satirize or merge with each other (Sharp characters are more and more sarcastic than blunt characters) fading to role reversal (Viola is Ton's character, Balloon is sharp character).
