融合音樂匯社區 Fusion Music From Within

 引用琵琶獨奏名曲《十面埋伏》的片段，聚焦於琵琶與中阮，將搖滾樂中的結他技巧，如低音結他的Popping技巧、鋼線結他的悶音技巧（Ghost note）和敲擊效果，藍調的旋律元素和放克（Funk）與森巴（Samba）的節奏等不同的流行音樂語言結合，融合一種耳目一新的聲音。原曲三重奏版本於2021「敦煌獎」中國民族室內樂新作品展評活動中贏得金獎第一名（同類樂器組合作品）。

 中國民歌《茉莉花》的旋律由琵琶引入，主旋律融合5拍的拉丁風格加3拍的爵士華爾滋（Jazz Waltz）風格，以活潑的風格形容茉莉花的香氣。

 即便置於最艱難的時刻和最孤獨的處景，總會有著希望激勵著人們勇敢生活。《孤獨中的盼望》透過音樂鼓勵人們以積極樂觀的心態面對困境，從而以更自強及更積極的姿態重新生活。 

Hope In Isolation is meant to share a message of hope for people experiencing loneliness or isolation. Moments like there are very difficult to endure, but even in the loneliest places there is hope which can motivate people to continue to live in spite of the difficulties.

 每個人生皆有秘密心事，一些內在情感、想法或者經驗。為免曝露我們脆弱的一面，我們不會輕易訴說這些秘密心事。當我們尋覓到可靠的傾訴的對象來揭示內心重要的秘密心事，總會如釋重負。我正是希望透過所譜寫的《秘密心事》來表達此一種難以言說的釋懷感覺。 

In our lives we often have many important feelings, thoughts, and experiences which we do not easily share with others. Sometimes we do not share these things with others because we are afraid of the consequences to expose our vulnerability. I wrote Untold Stories to communicate the great value of our hidden stories and how validating and satisfying it is when we can.

 大自然界、建築物和物件的破裂形成迷宫般的圖案。不規則的線條卻像不斷重複地蔓延着，亂中有序。這首作品用了斷開的節奏、爆炸性的敲擊、不規則的拍子、重複的曲式，呈現了這種視覺想像。 

The rupture of nature, buildings and objects forms a maze-like pattern. The irregular lines seem to spread repeatedly, creating order in chaos. This piece uses disconnected rhythms, explosive percussion, irregular beats, and repetitive musical patterns, to represent such visual imagination.

 《江戶酒馬燈》從日本江戶時代充滿活力的文化和氛圍中汲取靈感，將自由流動的爵士樂情感與日本傳統風格和中國樂器結合在一起，形成一種循環的、催眠般的音樂結構，以重複的律動模式及和弦交織出俏皮及流動的質感，以一種輕鬆及陶醉的方式圍繞中心旋律主題進行即興創作，通過獨特的爵士融合音樂視角想像穿越到江戶時代歷史悠久的繁華街道和熱鬧的夜生活，營造出迷人與大氣的聆聽體驗。

Drawing inspiration from the vibrant culture and atmosphere of Edo-period Japan, Revolving in Drunken Edo combines free-flowing jazz sensibilities with traditional Japanese influences and Chinese instruments in a cyclical, hypnotic quality of the musical structure, with repeated grooves patterns and chord progressions.
