iii


iii是一個充滿叛逆個性,以採樣為本,顛覆音樂體系為樂,且沒有固定成員的筆記本樂團。他們不但四出盜聲,演出時,更不時相互採聲或監守自盜。


iii熱愛廣東流行曲及所有低俗的曲子及被遺忘的流行偶像。但視乎情况而定,他們也不一定只演廣東流行曲。

公園好聲 Sound In The Park (策劃、文:袁智聰)
四個公園,六個地點,六場不同主題的露天音樂表演。

這是一個以融入公園空間為大前提的冬日午後音樂表演活動。所以我們沒有搭建舞台,也沒有巨型揚聲器,而是將音樂會變成公園的閒適愜意氣氛與流動風景一部分,令到音樂伴隨著多點綠色而來。於溫暖的冬日陽光與鳥語花香的環境下,讓樂迷身處一個自由開放的空間欣賞好聲現場音樂演出。

公園是供公眾消遣休憩的戶外場所,香港地少人多,我們這個城市裡商場太多、公園太少,大家要更加珍惜這個綠色的公共空間與城市資源。而「公園好聲」便是要把公園裡的公共空間化作音樂表演的平台、與眾同樂的表演場地。今次「公園好聲」的小型巡演會走遍香港公園、沙田公園、九龍公園和屯門公園;公園裡的廣場、花園、露天劇場和草坪,都會是我們舉行表演的地方。而每次皆會配合不同的表演環境,帶來特定的音樂主題。美好的現場音樂表演,看著樂手與樂迷的互動關係,每每能夠勾勒出一幅美麗而雅緻的畫面。那麼,沒有甚麼美好得過在陽光與樹蔭下於公園的露天空間帶來的音樂演出。

Sound in the Park ( Curated by: Yuen Chi-chung)

Outdoor concerts in six different themes take place in six locations in four parks.
“Sound in The Park” is an afternoon concert series aiming to mix music into the park environment. The shows need no stage set, no giant loudspeakers. It is music that is going to be absorbed into the gentle milieu and landscape of the park, furnishing it with more notes of green. Under the winter sun and amidst the comforting environment of the park, music-lovers will have a good chance to enjoy live music in a free and open atmosphere.
A park is a very important outdoor space for people to relax. Given the ever- growing number of people and shopping malls here in Hong Kong, a park is getting even more vital as the public space and resource that city dwellers can share among themselves.
Turning this public space into a music platform and performance venue, Sound in The Park will tour around Hong Kong Park, Kowloon Park, Sha Tin Park and Tuen Mun Park. The piazzas, gardens, amphitheatre and grassland are all places in which great music will be delivered. And the concerts will be tailor-made with themes to fit different park environment.

Great music and the close encounter between music and its audience culminate in a picture that is both eye- and ear-soothing; an enjoyable afternoon filled with the warmth of the sun and the wonders of music. (Text:Yuen Chi-chung)

If you think u r wrong, u r almost right!!

Saturday - Sunday Jan 22- 23, 2011 @葵青劇院 Kwai Tsing Theatre

如果你以為自己錯,那就差不多對了!﹣反轉傳統聲音再創造
黃仲輝

If you think u r wrong, u r almost right!! ─ Unorthodox Remaking of Sound
led by Sin:Ned (Wong Chung-fai)


創意對我們極重要!就連商界也投資越來越多在創意培訓上,鼓勵員工“跳出框框”。但在日常生活中、工作中,缺乏創意仍是惱人的問題。是甚麽阻礙我們“跳出框框”?

透過研究反傳統聲音製造的歷史和實驗,你會發現限制著創意的框框來自單一的理性文化,以及害怕錯誤、混亂、隨機、無序的心態。當你嘗試以反傳統的方法來製造聲音,你將會發現錯誤和無序的美,然後,突破絕對理性的狹隘視野,跳出框框來看問題。

Creativity is of ultimate importance to our existence. Even the commercial world is investing more and more on training their employees to think “out of the box”. However, we are still facing a creativity crisis — in our everyday life and in our work. What is hindering our ability to think out of the box?

Through examining the history and practice of unorthodox sound making, you will see that the lack of creativity is closely related to the one-sided development of our rational culture, and our learned mentality of seeing errors, chaos, randomness and disorder as undesirable results. With hands-on experiment on unorthodox sound making, you will develop an appreciative eye for the beauty of errors and randomness, which in turn, will free us from our tunnel vision of pure rationality, and enable us to see beyond the box.
