This piece is inspired by watercolor paintings: the brushwork, the saturation, the ethereal scenes. This composition is a picture without hard edges or borders. It’s reflective of nature and inspired by the beauty and chaos of natural landscapes, colors, and hues.
Creating this piece with electronic sounds might not seem like the obvious choice, but it was the only choice for me. In developing this composition, I oscillated between being a composer to an artist a number of times. Throughout the process I found myself not only focused on the orchestration and the structure of the music, but more so how to bring the colors and brushstrokes in my vision to life.
I paid close attention to the landscape in my mind’s eye. I reached out to touch the weight of the cloud and feel the diminishing glow of the sunset. This sunset scene represents a sense of freedom — freedom from the day and all its physical, mental, and emotional experiences. By utilizing the visual layout of a painting in place of the rigid lines of sheet music, I could better capture the intricacies of this setting.
My work begins with light blue and magenta at daybreak. As it saturates, mixes, and blends towards the middle of my composition, where the deepest blues of the oceans and the whitest caps of the wave entangle the listener. As the work continues, the clouds reappear, and a golden yellow sunset comes into view. This mixes with oranges, and grays until the ocean blues reach it in the far distance. At the end of my piece, you may feel that the sunset is ephemeral and just outside the frame of my vision there is more to be experienced.
The music I have written is a in binaural format. For the best experience, please use headphones and listen in a quiet environment. If you close your eyes, I hope you see my watercolor painting in your mind.
這首作品的靈感來自水彩畫——筆觸、飽和度，以及那份縹緲的意境。這是一幅沒有硬邊、沒有邊界的圖畫，映照著自然，並從自然地景、色彩與色調的美麗與紛亂中汲取靈感。
以電子聲響來創作這首作品，或許不是最顯而易見的選擇，但對我而言卻是唯一的選擇。在發展這首作品的過程中，我在「作曲家」與「畫家」的身分之間來回擺盪了許多次。整個過程中，我不只專注於音樂的編制與結構，更專注於如何將腦海中的色彩與筆觸賦予生命。
我仔細凝視心眼中的地景，伸手觸碰雲朵的重量，感受夕陽漸漸消逝的餘暉。這幅夕陽的景象代表著一種自由——從白日及其一切身體、心理與情感經驗中解放的自由。我以繪畫般的視覺佈局取代樂譜僵直的線條，藉此更能捕捉這片景致的細膩之處。
作品從破曉時分的淺藍與洋紅開始。隨著色彩逐漸飽和、混合，在樂曲中段交融——那裡有最深的海洋藍與浪花最白的浪尖，將聽者捲入其中。隨著作品繼續進行，雲朵再度浮現，金黃色的夕陽映入眼簾，與橘色、灰色交織，直到遠方的海洋藍將其淹沒。在作品的尾聲，你或許會感受到夕陽的稍縱即逝——在我視野之外的畫框邊緣，還有更多尚待體驗的事物。
這首音樂為雙耳（binaural）格式。建議以耳機於安靜的環境中聆聽，效果最佳。若你閉上雙眼，希望你能在心中看見我這幅水彩畫。
