The 1960s For Me

Synopsis

Drawing inspiration from the sounds, instruments, style, texture, mixing and record back spinning of 1960s pop music, modern sampling methods is used to re-present, synthesize and “musicify” the content of Ya Si’s poems. It also references the line from Bob Dylan’s 1960s classic Blowin’ In The Wind, “The answer is blowin’ in the wind”, to correspond to the line in Ya Si’s poem that pays tribute to the song. This is recited in a recording by singer-songwriter Jing Wong. 借鑒六十年代流行音樂的聲音、樂器、質感、混音特色、倒播處理等，再嘗試以現今電子音樂拼貼方法重新展現、組合，並「音樂化」也斯在詩中提到的內容，當中亦借用了卜戴倫在六十年代紅極一時的經典歌曲《Blowin’ In The Wind》的一句歌詞「The answer is blowin’ in the wind」回應和延伸也斯詩中的「答案啊，我的朋友是在風中飄動」，由同樣是唱作人的本地創作歌手黃靖錄音朗讀。
