2013 HKBU Band Society Annual Performance《破蛹》

Friday, May 31, 2013
7:00pm until 11:00pm

我們蒼白而畏光地
觀察著這座城市
隔著蛹壁
默然不語

然而

金器映射出的光亮如白晝
磚牆上的斑駁被抹平
高處的狼群諂笑獻媚

染成黑色的廣場
嗷嗷待哺的嬰兒
海風吹拂著的那疲憊的臉

你有否感覺到心臟的鼓動?
臃腫而麻木的四肢抖顫?

五月三十一日,讓音樂撼動靈魂

我們吶喊

我們

破蛹而出。

日期:2013年5月31日 (星期五)
時間:7:00p.m. - 11:00p.m.

- Maniac

由結他手Randy Sze,結他手Jason Kit,鼓手Chung Bee Lee,低音結他手K.L Mo組成的Maniac、大膽地將最剛與最柔的聲音巧妙地磨合、2004年憑著他們的前衛音樂觸角、成功進軍香港獨立樂隊市場。 2006年邀請了主音Jason Ngan加入、其後以一首耳熟能詳的She Concealed令樂隊廣受樂迷認識。

多年來他們活躍於香港獨立音樂市場。那令觀眾失控著迷的現場魅力,那細膩攝人的前衛樂章得到外界的一致好評,逐漸成為香港新穎派重型音樂的標誌。

2009年4月他們決定走進錄音室 與資深音樂製作人Gene 花上一年時間打造出Maniac首張專輯"記憶. 凌亂散落"。專輯將於2010年5月下旬開始發售,收錄了6年來6首精選歌曲,包括主打歌"故地重遊"、重新灌錄的"She Concealed"、"Criticize (It is all our fault)"、"Writhed Anima" 、"獨白"和"窗內 窗外"。

專輯主題《記憶. 凌亂散落》當中的分隔點,提供了瞬間的思考時間,把重要但卻被遺忘了的記憶再次展現於聽眾心底那流白了的空間。 主題不但與樂隊名字的詮釋"揭露你已遺忘的本性"互相輝映,亦寄意將6年來Maniac的音樂扎根於樂迷的記憶深處。

於同年5月29日所舉行的專輯發佈會"記憶. 頓然安悟"完滿結束後,他們邀請鍵琴手Jasper Fung加入,並發表了新曲 "意有所至 而愛有所亡"。 6人姿態的Maniac在2011﹣2012年間為樂迷帶來了無可抵禦的衝擊。

- Soul Of Ears

組成於2010年6月下旬。 中(Soul)的意思解作自己的作品,
而(Ears)的代表聽眾的耳朵。換言之我們希望每一個聽過作品的人也會反
思當中的內容和含義, 這就是我們的目的。

前期的風格以Metal-Core為藍本,因後期加入了新成員(Keyboard-Haize)
之後,其風格亦改變為Melodic Metalcore。

Soul Of Ears was officially formed on June 2010. The 'Soul' is the metaphor of our music,
while "Ears' refers to those of the audience. We aim to connect our music with the
audience's understanding, so as to create a magic spark within.

While having metalcore as our intrinsic musical element, more melodic influences were
immersed with Haize, the keyboardist joining up the squad in 2012.

- Protoss

Protoss ,源於遊戲STARCRAFT裡的其中一個種族,俗稱"神族",是擁有高智慧與力量的一族。
"智慧" 與"力量" 用於樂隊身上就是"音樂熱誠" 與"團結"。創作靈感源自現實國家主意社會和
生活的點滴感受, 社會令我們掙扎、迷失、沉瀝等等,像站在十字路口般,籍箸由音樂去宣泄一
些在現實無法表達的情緒從而釋放出來,尋求一點人性、自我和真理。希望有更多人能夠認識
我們的歌曲去感受我們對音樂的熱誠, 希望人們能夠一齊尋找心目中的烏托邦。2008年推出
首張EP"Things Turn Into History" ,更進行首次中國巡迴演出,從最南的深圳到最北的北京,分
別有深圳,廣州,長沙, 武漢,北京,透過中國巡迴我們嘗試在每個舞台上作大膽的歌曲台風演繹
,使表演更加好看,使觀眾更能感受我們對音樂的激烈情緒.對未來想和不同的樂隊同台表演和
作更多的交流,亦曾為菲律賓Hardcore 樂隊Piledriver ,北京metalcore樂隊軍械所,澳大利亞
Thrash/metalcore樂隊TRUTH CORRODED ,北京metalcore樂隊SAW 鋸,日本Metal樂隊

- 怒人

- Shepherd The Weak

2005 was a significant year for our band. We made a decision to change our name to Shepherds the Weak (STW). It was an easy transition as most of our songs were becoming heavier as we progressed. We decided that our original name (which I won’t mention for fear of being mocked mercilessly) would not adequately represent our new material. At the same time, we recruited our friend Danilo Cosio “I know how to ride a motorcycle” Gabuya (a.k.a. JR) as a 2nd guitarist to help “fatten up” our sound.

Within the same year we also recorded and released our first EP, “Strength in Numbers”. We still reluctantly play two songs from that album, so if you catch us live don’t request ‘Betrayal’ or any other crap from that album (except ‘False Idols’)... we can’t remember how to play them anymore.

2005 – 2010

The past five years have been filled with many highs and lows for STW. Through ‘Start From Scratch,’ a production group we formed with our good friends in King Ly Chee, we were fortunate to meet and play alongside some of the bands we listen to. We opened for bands such as Parkway Drive, Misery Signals, Terror, First Blood, Shai Hulud, and Comeback Kid, as well as Napalm Death (Asian Tour, Shenzen) and Shadows Fall (2009, Pulp Summer Slam).

STW has also helped bring some Filipino bands to Hong Kong, including our good friends Badburn, Piledriver, Intolerant, Typecast and Skychurch. We have plans to sponsor more shows in the future.

In 2010 our line up changed for the first time. Due to work and life commitments, Mushie and JR had to bow out; they were replaced by our new members Tommi “I like Foo Fighters way too much” Svinhufvud and Bryant “I’m the king of logistics” Vallejo.

Future Plans

We plan to release a few new songs online soon alongside the launch of our new website. We are also planning a China tour amongst more Hong Kong shows, so stay tuned and keep visiting our website for more info.

Esperanza Spalding @ 41st HongKong Arts Festival

Esperanza Spalding @ 41st HongKong Arts Festival

***
台上右面放了一座面積大約有十多尺長,四尺多高,是屬於80年代手提卡式錄音机佈景,而琴,鼓及結他擴音機則放在台的左面,這個簡簡單單佈景,正正配合着Esperanza Spalding新碟 "Radio Music Soceity " 的概念.

燈光漸漸調暗,一班音樂師徐徐而進,各就各位,手提卡式錄音机後面正是這一班樂師7人Brass section 演奏的位置,鍵琴手,結他手,鼓手亦準備就緒,音樂随着响起,一段簡單Free Jam 過後,主角人物Esperanza Spading亦隨着她的歌聲出場,一把清脆魅力的聲線揭開了當晚的序幕.
整晚的表演形式模仿似電台DJ現場直播節目一樣,歌与歌之間穿插着Spalding幽默,風趣的小故事,她與現場觀眾玩互動遊戲,場內不時傳來一陣陣笑聲,掌聲及歡呼聲,她....引領着觀眾慢慢走進她 Radio Music Society 裡.

Esperanza Spalding不單是一位作曲家,演奏家,在歌唱方面也非常出色,歌聲充滿熱情拉丁味道,對於一些極有難度的樂章,她亦從容流暢地演譯在歌聲裡,唱功不做作,不賣弄技巧,非常真緻感人!

當晚有現代感的Soul & Funk Music,亦有傳統爵士味道的樂曲,而當晚演出歌曲多數是Esperanza Spalding自己的原創.
電Bass 和 double Bass 亦是當晚樂器中的主角,經常被Spalding互相交替地彈奏,兩種樂器演譯Spalding都以高水準技巧演出,發揮得淋漓盡致.
而我個人亦相當喜歡Spalding的聲音與double Bass的聲音融合一齊,配合得天衣無縫,悅耳非常!

隨想:

一位這麽年青,溧亮,才華集於一身,作曲,彈奏,歌唱都能做到非常份量的年青音樂家,難道是上天持別眷顧 ?
如果相信天上真有一位掌管音樂種籽的天神,那Spalding一定是天神特別寵愛,獲得種籽較多的一位!
