《星座》-为筝与电子音乐而作
Constellations – For guzheng and electronic sounds (2012)
作品介绍/Program Notes:
《星座》是2012年为古筝和电子音乐创作的作品,作品长度约10分钟。题献给Naoko kikuchi。在我创作了尺八和日本筝以及中国的琵琶与古筝等作品之后,《星座》成为我创作的关于亚洲器乐系列作品的第五部。
在这部作品中,电子音乐部分是日本筝的声音变化而来的。它们萦绕在听众的周围,仿佛是画家画出的天空中的云彩。在云彩的上面是外层空间和星系,那是星座的世界,是我们所无法看到的。这个乐器代表了人类的生活,时而和谐,时而混乱,时而暴力,时而甜美和平静。在作品的最后部分,电子声音部分由人声转化而来,但却无法看到人在歌唱,犹如乐器本身在歌唱。在舞台上,演奏家现场演奏真实的乐器,抒情而细腻,同时在她周围萦绕着电子音乐的声音。声音就像一种装饰和背景。它创造了一种舞台布景,乐器主要是在舞台前台,直到演出的最后,古筝融入到虚拟的电子人声之中。
Constellation is the fifth piece for I wrote for Asian instruments, after having written for shakuhachi and koto, and, in China, for pipa and guqin.
In this piece, the electronic parts are transformed koto sounds. They are around the audience, and are composed like a painter would paint clouds in the sky. Beyond the cloulds are the outer space and the galaxies, constellations of worlds unseen. The instrument represents the human activity, sometimes harmonious, sometimes chaotic, sometimes violent, sometimes sweet and calm. At the end, the sounds of the electronic part are transformed into voice-like textures, singing but unseen, as if the instrument itself was singing.
The poetic of the piece is based on the meeting of an actual performer, on stage, playing a delicate and lyrical instrument, and the electroacoustic sounds around her. The sounds are like a decor, a background. It creates a scenography upon which the instrument is mostly on the foreground until, in the last section, the guzheng shifts behind the artificial vocal sounds.
