「絲竹空」


「絲竹空」既是新品種的爵士樂,也是新品種的國樂;聽起來既古老又新潮、既典雅
又隨興,讓人忍不住自由搖擺。
In this rejuvenated music by 'Sizhukong', the innovative and ancient
sounds
are beautifully blended, a new kind of Chinese music is born with a soul
of jazz.

曾德康 (低音結他) Tsang Tak Hong (Bass)
謝璨洪 (二胡) Tom Tse (Erhu)

Fragile Beauty 鏡花

越南和法國的音樂文化交融
含蓄婉約與羅曼蒂克不期而遇
美得從容,美得柔弱

一次絕對稱得上是「美得柔弱」的音樂會!傳統越南小調女伶含蓄婉約的歌聲,伴以西方爵士樂及富有東方文化色彩的民族樂器,聲域是何其的豐富,而又充滿一種稍縱即逝、超乎想像的浪漫氛圍。

馨雅生於昔日越南西貢一個音樂世家,父親是當代其中一位最著名的越南「改良劇」演唱家,幼承庭訓的她自少便通曉演繹越南小調民歌。其後她移居法國,演出從未間斷,更曾多次回祖國與最出色的音樂家同台演出。

結他手阮黎不但演奏出色,創作、監製以至混音樣樣皆能。由愛上搖滾到情迷爵士,阮黎深受爵士樂界高手吉爾.伊文斯和歐奈.柯爾曼影響,尤其後者勇於冶煉各種音樂類型的創新精神,一直是他的作品的標記。今次他帶領馨雅及阮黎七重奏演出的音樂會《鏡花》,便是他靈巧融合東西方音樂的一次出色示範作。

在配器方面,傳統的彈撥樂器(日本箏和越南十六弦琴)和吹口樂器(竹笛),給演出塗上了一抹東方的氛圍,把馨雅嗓音中的文化身份彰顯出來。巧妙的是,這些富東方色彩的樂音配上西方電結他、低音結他、鋼琴等爵士樂器時,在音色和感應方面,效果卻是出乎意料的和諧,而非洲敲擊樂的滲入,增強了樂曲的節奏感;加上不同樂器如日本箏和結他、敲擊樂的即興對話,令演出更引人入勝。

越南傳統小曲的詩情雅意,置於世界大同的理念下,投射出既有東方文化華采又有西方當代情懷的音樂,造就了一次美得令人動容的世界音樂演出,樂迷豈容錯過?

演唱:馨雅
電結他/電腦音樂:阮黎
日本箏:宮崎美枝子
敲擊樂/電子音效:程艾力
電子合成器/鋼琴:多明妮可.博克
