【SOUND-IMAGination: Hong Kong Landscape 聲影集:香港景觀】 //Feature 特寫// Tam Ka-shu’s “Little Hidden Momentum” I. Q&A 1) Briefly introduce your commissioned work. My work depicts the restless spirit of Hong Kong – there are motions even in a quiet situation. It is inspired by an image that centred a workman and a still curtain fills up the other space. 2) How did the image/video inspire you to write this piece? While the large curtain in the image seems to project a still atmosphere, the truck and the worker reveal a vivid motion. This contrast in activity immediately connects me to a night scene in Causeway Bay – streets are empty but still project a dynamic atmosphere. 3) All visual elements of this concert, which served as the initial inspiration for the composers, will be projected on screen during the performance. What is the difference between composing with and without a specified visual image? Visual images set a fix parameter for composers. In order to bring out the theme of the images, composers have to fit their imagination within the set boundary. However, this does not mean to limit our creativity. Instead, we might see the parameters as guidelines for composing. II.

【SOUND-IMAGination: Hong Kong Landscape 聲影集:香港景觀】 //Feature 特寫// 葉浩堃《縫》 I. Q&A 1) 樂曲如何與影像掛勾和配合？ 就如錄像一樣，在開始的部份看見船慢慢的經過，然後一 個身影隱約的在後方出現。在音樂方面，在緊密的和聲及織體設計下，將主旋律隱藏，然後又偶爾出現。 2) 請形容一下你眼中的「香港」，在樂曲中如何呈現這感知 ／意像？ 香港是一個急速的城市，在過往的作品中，我經常把這緊張的元素加入。在是次首演的作品《縫》當中，我刻意把速度變慢，但卻在這個「慢」的氣氛中加入一些快速的節奏，猶如普遍的香港人般，雖然身體想放鬆，但腦袋仍然不斷在工作。 3) 在這首作品中聽眾可特別留意之處？ 聽眾可以留意和聲的轉變，及弦樂四重奏內四聲部的交錯與交流。 II. 有關作曲家 - 葉浩堃 創作習慣：晚上，很晚的晚上 喜歡的香港地方：我家 喜歡的作曲家：Lutoslawski

【SOUND-IMAGination: Hong Kong Landscape 聲影集:香港景觀】 //Feature 特寫// Kwok Tsun-huen’s "The Barber" I. Q&A 1) Briefly introduce your commissioned work. It's a viennese waltz. The music divided into two part, Slow and fast. 2) How did the image/video inspire you to write this piece? The Photograph is about a Barber shaving customer's hair when H5N1 was spreading. I tried to have a piece of music that prove a feeling as if they are having a little shelter from the storm there. 3) How does your commissioned work correlate with the visual image/video? The image gives me a feeling that the two people were having their own shelter when serious disease was spreading. They trusted and didn't mind if each other got the disease and might infect their own. This gives me a very cozy feeling and write the music. II. About the Composer – Kwok Tsun-huen Favorite composers: Stockhausen, Joseph Schwantner, Beethoven, the Beatles Favorite visual artists: Leonardo de Vinci, Pablo Picasso Favorite movies: 2001: Space Odessy, Watchmen

【聲影集: 映照香港 SOUND-IMAGination: Hong Kong Reflections】 //特寫 Feature// 許翔威《煙花瞥紅塵》 I. Q&A 1) 樂曲的創作靈感？ 鬧市不夜城的繁忙節奏、煙花的複合形態及其上昇與散落的線條、呆板建築折射短暫的光華。 2) 樂曲如何與影像掛勾和配合? 滿佈重複音，並與不規則元素交錯，在快速動感中產生矛盾的遲緩演變；調性從模糊到分裂，反映當代都市處境的浮華、疏離、似是而非。 3) 是次的委約音樂作品都是根據特定的攝影作品而創作並於音樂會一併呈現, 這創作過程和純綷的音樂創作有何不同?請簡單向我們分享。 照片是獲分配而並非自由選擇的，也不知道攝影師的想法及有沒有命題。但如何從一張定格實景照片構想出音樂的關聯性是很有趣的，此外在樂器的數量與樂曲長度的規範限制下，對應這幅廣闊維港煙花絢麗夜景實在是作曲上一種少有的挑戰。影像可以引發音樂結構與格調的依據，音樂的形成還不能缺少創作者對事物的內心感覺。也許浮生掠影觸景生情，於是樂曲有了這略為深雋的標題《煙花瞥紅塵》。 II. 作曲家簡介：許翔威 日常嗜好: 素描、書法、閱讀、即興音樂、看風景 ... 喜歡的聲音: 清晨時分的鳥鳴、窗邊一串風鈴偶爾輕微響起、秋冬平靜灘岸的海浪聲 ... 喜歡的導演: Bergman, Tarkovsky, Alain Resnais, Kubrick, Kieslowski, Wim Wenders ...

聲影集：映照香港 SOUND-IMAGination: Hong Kong Reflections】 //特寫 Feature// 屈雅汶《沉默的哀號》 I. Q&A 1) 請簡單介紹在「聲影集:映照香港」中你的新作。 作品「沉默的哀號」以蕭及笙兩件樂器作比喻，在樂句結構及聲音上互相牽引，帶出香港繁華鬧市車來車往之下，一位老人垂著頭推著木頭車，落泊街頭的強烈對照氣氛。 2) 樂曲的創作靈感? 創作靈感完全來自攝影師的照片，望着照片中的主角，感覺到「他」的沉重、疲累、乏力、靜止。在同一空間下，車輛在周遭熙來攘往，而他的步伐卻完全跟不上。 「繁榮與貧窮」之間，作曲家希望藉着作品，用聲音呈現出這種張力。 3) 樂曲如何與影像掛勾和配合? 作品在速度、節奏及選音方面均嘗試表達出沉鬱的氣息。笙主要演繹周遭環境的聲音，而蕭則表達照片中的主角，我們彷彿聽到「他」的每一下呼吸及嘆息。 II. 作曲家簡介
：屈雅汶 創作習慣: 閉關，想像，把感受寫下來 喜歡的作曲家/樂曲: Sergei Prokofiev 喜歡的視覺藝術家/視藝作品: Piet Mondrian

【聲影集：映照香港 SOUND-IMAGination: Hong Kong Reflections】 //特寫 Feature// 鄧文藝《霧》 I. Q&A 1) 樂曲的創作靈感？ 樂曲的創作靈感來自相片中被霧籠罩的香港景色。 2) 樂曲如何與影像掛勾和配合？ 梯級式的和弦織體，彷如霧的景深和層次；緩慢的旋律反映被霧籠罩的城市暫放繁囂，稍作歇息。 3) 請簡單分享創作此樂曲的方法或技巧。 這首作品以簡約音樂手法創作。 II. 作曲家簡介：鄧文藝 喜歡的香港地方：太平山頂 喜歡的景象：維港夜景 喜歡的聲音：多元聲音

【聲影集：映照香港 SOUND-IMAGination: Hong Kong Reflections】 //特寫 Feature// Tsui Mei-ling Meilina's Frost I. Q&A 1) Briefly introduce your commissioned work. Frost is a 2-minute piece written for Xiao, Tenor Sheng, Er Hu and Yang Qin. It is based on a photograph of the Nina Tower in Tsuen Wan and its surroundings at night taken from a less urban area in Hong Kong. 2) How did the image inspire you to write this piece? The orange-tainted sky, the still, unobtrusive boats and dark waters had a profound influence on the slow pace and harmonic language used, especially in the beginning of the piece. The contrast to that, the lights from modern skyscrapers and ‘beehive’ residential buildings across the waters inspired different musical ideas which altered the mood of the piece to something more lively and dynamic. 3) All visual elements of this concert, which served as the initial inspiration for the composers, will be projected on screen during the performance. What is the difference between composing with and without a specified visual image? My musical interpretation of frost would have been very different had I not seen a specified visual image of it. Pictures have incredible power in evoking emotions, a single look at a picture can instantly affect your mood. You could also imagine yourself standing in the same spot as the photographer. For my case, I imagined myself standing alone on a shore facing the Nina Tower in Tsuen Wan on a cold winter night, feeling the winter chill blowing against my face, listening to the sounds of anchored boats rocking on small waves, trying to find peace in this remote part of Hong Kong but at the same time marvelling at the busy lights of the urban area from across the waters. The picture serves as a guide, and in a way it dictates what the observer should think about or feel. It could evoke many different emotions or it could evoke very little emotions, it all depends on what the focus, layers, and scope of the picture are. Composing music without the aid of visual image, on the other hand, would just mean that I am free to express things without limiting myself to the inspiration that I get from a picture. II. About the Composer - Tsui Mei-ling Meilina Composing habit:
 1) Trying out different ideas on the piano and jotting them down on paper 2) Pacing up and down or laying in the foetal position because I am stuck 3) Extending or creating variations of the ideas 4) Then somehow miraculously finishing the piece with lightning speed. Favorite place in Hong Kong:TST Promenade Favorite director/ movie: Peter Jackson/ the Lord of the Rings trilogy

【聲影集：映照香港 SOUND-IMAGination: Hong Kong Reflections】 //特寫 Feature// 林瀚聰《我們將在星跡中相遇》 I. Q&A 請簡單介紹在「聲影集：映照香港」中你的新作。 「星跡」是指一種通過長時間曝光以抓取到夜空中恆星視運動的照片。在星跡照片中，單個的恆星顯示為一條亮痕，並且曝光時間越長，亮痕越長。《我們將在星跡中相遇》以對位旋律交織出一幅星跡畫面：洞簫在引子獨奏出一條細緻的主題，接著是二胡的加入，把即興的旋律發展成完整的句子；揚琴彈奏出如流星般的十六分音與輪音，配合笙的自由半音和弦，營造出一個浩瀚的宇宙。突然一片靜寂，鏡頭就像瞬間由無盡的天際縮影到地球的某處 － 香港（大尾督*）的上空：洞簫的華綵句引領全體達到結尾的終止式。 夜空，就是一個無邊無際的大銀幕，放映著這一百三十八億年來的紀錄片。故事在地球上完了，卻又在太空某個深處繼續上演。很多年後，我們，將會在星跡中相遇。 II. 作曲家簡介：林瀚聰 創作習慣：開著錄音機在鋼琴即興彈奏，再默寫合適的部分，然後加工。 喜歡香港地方：灣仔（一個穿梭古今，富傳奇色彩的小社區） 喜歡的景象：太陽雨（sunshower）在晴天或有陽光普照時發生的下雨現象，在日本又被稱作「狐狸娶親」。此現象捕捉了晴陰雨並存的瞬間，我亦曾以此景象為題把多首舊作的序收錄成《情音語》。

Q&A 1) 請簡單介紹在「聲影集：映照香港」中你的委約作品。 此曲乃香港作曲家聯會「聲影集」項目，作曲家根據指派的照片創作不超過2分鐘的二重奏。獲派照片攝於新界大美督，是一幅光影殘留的映像，故在音樂上，嘗試讓演奏家以極速的音姿互相交錯來營造一種聲音流響作為回應。 2) 樂曲的創作靈感？ 來自分配的照片。 3) 在這首作品中聽眾可特別留意之處？ 殘留的響趣。 II. 作曲家簡介：陳明志 喜歡的景像： 風再起時 喜歡的聲音： 舌尖上的聲音 喜歡的作曲家／樂曲： 黃家駒《海闊天空》
