L69 回擲向年輕世代創作者的聲音問題

文/王咏琳

透過數位音樂介面與電聲現象所作用的聲音，至今掌握聲音藝術表演上的絕大部分的形式，於是在此次失聲祭（L69）同樣地邀請了三組在創作形式上大相逕庭的藝術家，分別為：香港的diode、李穎姍跟日本的神谷泰史 （Taishi Kamiya）。由馮俊彥、林杰恆、劉浩知、曾家偉、王鎮海五個年輕人組成的diode，由各自分工的團體合作形式去操作音效卡、小合成器、Midi控制器以及多種的物件，如：直笛、啤酒罐、吉他pick up與效果器、轉動的腳踏車鏈條等，意圖利用聲音的單向Loop結構去實驗聲音的偶發與扭曲的狀態；李穎姍在這次的表演「電光樂曲」中，則是依循EMI（Experimental musical instrument）的形式，運用軟體Max中製作好的高、低頻音源與現場架設小型麥克風、手繪板與電腦間互為干擾的雜訊，以此作為控制器去掌控電流，再進一步去連動表演現場所佈置的不同色溫、不同廠牌的燈泡裝置，最後再將燈泡的雜音訊號送回電腦EQ再製作；而日本ambient音樂家神谷泰史則運用現場錄製高音薩克斯風聲段，透過delay效果跟其所現場製作的細小聲段堆疊成重複的聲音樣本，以進行現場的即時作曲與編曲。

Opening Artist︱diode (HK)
diode is a sonic collective of five multi-disciplinarians from Hong Kong (Jasper Fung, Frank Lam, Lau Ho Chi, Eason Page, Wong Chun Hoi). Mainly focusing on the possibilities of sonic performance structure and theatrical listening experience. They first started playing music through a one-way-direction loop which the audio signal travels like current flow through a diode in a closed electronic circuit.

About the performance:
The simple audio hardware connection structure of diode's transfers sound which start at one-way-direction. The unique signal routing and placement of speakers intended to generate a bonding between the black-out theatrical environment and the audience. By looping the sound of diverse objects, ranging from guitar pick up effect to daily objects, diode creates sort of dizziness, just like merry-go-around with unknown rhythms.

Performance Introduction︱Delight
A light bulb does not only emit light.It also produces sound. This performance orchestrates intriguing light patterns and soundscapes by amplifying the rhythmic sound of turning a row of light bulbs on and off but also dimming from incandescent light bulb and compact fluorescent lamp. These two kinds of light bulbs contain different frequency of sound when lighting them up. By arranging the specific light bulbs on and off, the composition of the performance is executed no matter audibly in sound and visually in light and shadow.
