JEAN – CLAUDE ELOY
‘To listen to my music correctly you have to remain patient. Let the music come quite naturally. Let the sound penetrate your consciousness. Freely. Slowly. Without a stir, with great serenity, without any mental preconception.
It is useless to try and "understand", especially to understand at once, in a heartbeat, with only one grasp of consciousness. That would be an artificial way of doing it.’ — Jean-Claude Eloy, " To better listen to my music " (2015)
「若要正確地聆聽我的音樂，你需要保持耐心。讓音樂自然地來去。讓聲音穿透你的意識。自由地，緩慢地，不起波瀾，保持平靜，別帶有任何先入為主的偏見。
試著「理解」是徒勞的，尤其別想在一次心跳的片刻，憑著一次意識領會，就想要全盤理解。那反而是種刻意而為。」—尚克羅德˙艾洛瓦，《致聽者：如何聽Eloy的音樂》

「我的音樂嘗試表達所有在自然當中的力量。 戰爭、平和、沖突、動亂、鬥爭與暴力的力量，同時也是接納、吸收、融化、冥想或沉思的力量：所有這些力量關乎於我以及我們所有人，因為我們都是自然與宇宙當中的一部份。」 尚克羅德•艾洛瓦
‘My music endeavors to convey all forces of nature. The forces of war like the forces of peace. The forces of conflicts, upheavals, fights and violence, as the forces of acceptance, absorption, dissolution, the contemplative or meditation: all those forces concern me and concern us all as we are part of nature, part of the cosmos. ’ Jean-Claude Eloy

● 曲目︱信仰的午夜
節目長度：約二小時，不設中場休息
信仰的午夜（The Midnight Of The Faith）是Eloy近期的代表作之一，曲目長達約120分鐘，內容應用了一些來自艾蒂特 · 史坦茵（Edith Stein）所著文本的字符。艾蒂特 · 史坦茵是一位出生在1891年德國的猶太裔修女，專研德文、哲學、心理學跟歷史。堅決對抗納粹政權的艾蒂特於1942年死於奧斯威辛集中營，她寫過深受Eloy景仰的兩個人一位是十字若望，另一位是亞維拉的德蘭。Eloy引用了一些自艾蒂特文字中關於光、死亡、自由、神的摘錄，透過吉塞拉 · 克勞狄（Gisela Claudius）的朗誦，將其聲音節錄起來，並使用軟體像是Metasynth，開始龐雜大量的聲音堆砌，為作品裏主要的素材來源。同時也使用了像是牛鈴的聲音取樣，這同樣也用在邊界（Borderlines）（Eloy另一近期的創作）。Eloy以拉長延展和稠密的聲模式，創造出一緻密且恢弘壯麗的音景。
● Program︱The Midnight of the Faith
Program Duration: about 2 hours without intermission.
The Midnight Of The Faith is Eloy’s recent composition. It's a long piece, spanning 120 minutes, and uses a few bits of text by Edith Stein, a nun from Jewish origin who studied German, philosophy, psychology and history, who was firmly against the nazi regime and who died in Auschwitz in 1942. She wrote about two persons admired by Eloy, St-John Of The Cross and St. Tereas of Avila. Eloy uses only a few excerpts of her writing, about light, death, freedom, God, and uses these voice excerpts (read by Gisela Claudius) to start a vast mass of sound, using software such as Metasynth. That takes up most of the sound sources, but Eloy also uses samples of cowbells and such like, which he also used on 'Borderlines' (that is also a more recently finished composition). Eloy creates a massive sound here, with long stretched out, dense patterns of sound.
