Program Note

This piece is written for piano and live electronics, which involved the sixteen live-processed fixed media in Max. The sixteen fixed media are fragments cut from the music of the piano part. While playing, the pianist should press the MIDI sustain-pedal to trigger the fixed media.

To elaborate on my imagination of the deep ocean, I use the thick chords to make the piano part resonant and have room for the electronic music part to expand. On the other hand, the transformed fixed media may sustain a relatively long time to support and blend with piano sounds. The piece starts from a motive in the low register and gradually grows into significant passages. In texture and musical emotion, the electronic part the piano part complement and blend.

樂曲解說

這首作品為鋼琴與電聲音樂所寫。以鋼琴部分揣摩海中之陌生景致，並留下空間給電聲音樂部分呈現。而電聲音樂之寫作素材來自於16個擷取自這首作品當中鋼琴部分的16個片段，經過調變後，由鋼琴演奏家在彈奏時，同時在Max環境中以MIDI踏板觸發這16個片段，這些電聲片段也將與鋼琴部分相融合。
