Beyond

electroacoustic composition (stereo)

2016 (REV. 2020)

duration: 8'00"

studio: Center for Experimental Music and Intermedia, University of North Texas

Beyond works with recordings of human voices (throat singing) and instrumental sounds from the daily rituals and practices of Tibetan Buddhism. The piece explores the flowing nature of vocal sound materials and frames these in a sound ritual. In this piece, I transformed the sound spectrum of Tibetan traditional percussion instruments as symbolic elements of spiritual power. The colorful and natural voices of Gyuto monks and nuns become a bridge that communicates between earth and heaven.

*Beyond was selected in 2018 ISCM World New Music Days and performed in Beijing in May 2018.

中文简介:

《诵·颂》为固定媒体音响(幻听电子音乐)作品,其素材来源于藏传佛教僧 人日常的功课与颂经以及喉声演唱。 在电子音乐技术上,创作者根据音频素材的天然属性与艺术表达图运用了多种 音频技术手段。其中包括了:粒子合成,再采样技术,频谱形态重塑,音高转 换等技术。这些有选择性技术运用既服务于音乐语言中声音频谱形态的塑造, 也传达了此作品在音乐理念的美学。 作品在电子音乐艺术化表达的基础上保留了自然原始的人声美感,呈现出传统 原音声学与电子音乐有机结合的图景——力图在平衡电子音乐中的形与意的表 达。人声被化作流动的能量,与符号性的法器音响一同注入声音的“仪式 “中。那广阔而含有丰富泛音的诵经声如同一座桥梁,它超越了世俗的界限, 联通着天与地。
