《關於鯨魚夢見自己是隻布穀鳥》

About a Whale Dreaming of Being a Cuckoo

為中音薩克斯風和預置電子

For Alto Saxophone and Electronic Music

（2023）

The work aims to achieve the goal of "sound instrumentalization and instrument naturalization". The sound materials are all sampled from reality, including alto saxophone, various bird chirps , hippos 'wheeze honks', and strange sounds from the deep sea. All sound materials of electronic music are created by using plugins such as GRM tools. For example, the deep "monster-like" sound in the work is actually from a sample of the sound of a cuckoo.

The inspiration of the music comes from boundless imagination, just like the whale transforms into a cuckoo. Everyone has the right to dream, and they should be brave enough to dream.

作品致力於實現「 聲響樂器化，樂器聲響化」的目標。使用的聲音素材都來自真實採樣，包括中音薩克斯風、多種鳥鳴、河馬叫聲以及深海的奇特聲音。 通過使用GRM tools等插件， 創造出電子音樂的全部聲音素材。例如， 作品中最低沉的、類似於巨大怪物的聲音， 實際上是來自 布穀鳥的叫聲採樣。

樂曲靈感來源於天馬行空的想像，就如同作品中的鯨魚異想天開化身布穀鳥，每個人都有做夢的權利，也應該勇敢做夢。本作透過中音薩克斯風與電子音 樂的合奏， 創作這幅本就“虛虛實實”的情景。
