策劃人的話 Curator‘s Notes
出色的音樂家,是會用靈魂來說故事的:進入心流的狀態,彷彿忘記了自己的存在,只跟隨音樂流動。樂曲中無論是運用天然的人聲、樂器,或是電子合成器,都只是工具的選擇而已。他們手中輕輕的幾粒音符,住住就能演奏出獨特而高辨識度的聲音。「440第一季音樂會」的三位海外音樂家,對我而言就是這樣的存在。
這次一群香港出色的年青爵士樂手將會跟Becca、Justin和Lex一同藉着音樂,展開一場靈魂的對話。舞台上將展現共同創作的孵化過程,各色聲音自然地調和,建立一種深度的聯繫。一切都是隨興而至,而我們正正是希望與觀眾一同感受這種未知,踏上一往無前的音樂冒險之旅。
張駿豪
Exceptional artists tell stories with their souls. Entering a state of flow, they seem to forget their own existence and simply follow the lead of the music. It doesn’t matter whether they are using the human voice, instruments, or electronic synthesisers in their tunes; these are just a matter of different choices in tool selection. Often, with a few simple notes, they can create a unique and recognisable sound. The three overseas musicians in “440 S1 Concert” are exactly such artists.
This time, a group of outstanding young jazz musicians from Hong Kong will engage in a soulful dialogue with Becca, Justin, and Lex through music. The stage will showcase the process of collaborative co-creation, in which a variety of sounds naturally blend to build a deep connection. Everything will unfold spontaneously as we venture into the unknown on this musical journey with the audience.
