臺灣五都音景數位影音實作與研究

Abstract

從西蒙非沙大學(Simon Fraser University)發起的世界音景計畫(World Soundscape Project)開始,全球各地投入音景的研究越來越多,也紛紛成為一項 重要的學術研究。在創作上,作曲家們開始針對聲音的保存性、重要性發展成各 自獨特的音景作品。由於世界音景計畫,臺灣也意識到聲音保存的重要性及價值 延續性,開始針對臺灣多樣性的聲音文化作分類上的學術研究,及創作上的聲音 探討。 因此,本研究企圖將臺灣五都(台北市、新北市、台中市、台南市、高雄市) 之重要聲音收錄取樣後,創作出代表臺灣豐富而多元的五都音景作品,並結合影 像之輔佐增加欣賞者對音樂的聯想力,也為了模擬出逼近真實的臺灣五都樣貌, 音樂設計上將以八聲道環繞式音響呈現,並進一步在原音(found sound)和抽離 聲音(abstract)這兩種極端的漸進層中,創造虛與實之間的立體空間場域。不 僅要讓世人看見臺灣的美,更要讓世人聽見臺灣豐富而獨特的聲響。

Since Simon Fraser University took the initiative by starting the World Soundscape Project (WSP), researches regarding soundscape has been emerging worldwide and soon becoming an important academic research. In the process of composing, composers began to develop soundscape works using the unique preservation and importance of individual sounds. Because of the WSP, awareness of the importance of sound reservation has been prompted in Taiwan. Academic researches of the diversity of sound culture in Taiwan and the usability of such materials in composing has also been conducted. The main purpose of the compositions is to record and simulate the scenery and appearance of the five cities in Taiwan (Taipei, Hsinpei, Taichung, Tainan & Kaosiung) and to create a 3D space field between reality and virtuality by using two kinds of extreme crescendo – found sound and abstract sound. The compositions are then presented as an eight-channeled music piece accompanied by visual effects which furthermore enhances the imagination of the audience, inviting them to a brief journey into the vivid and exotic heart of Taiwan.The results not only shows people the beauty of Taiwan, but also let people use their own ears to "hear" these abundant and unique sounds.
