专辑介绍

换了新的成员阵容,加入了小提琴与单簧管,“ 海岛小轮”以新作品《Visitors》 与大家一同尝试为困难重重的2020年划上句号。

本身是受一个购物商场委托,写一首有节日气氛的音乐,为空间提供点缀。但对部分人来说,在今年的特殊情况下,与亲友共聚或者成为比华丽精品更难到手的礼物。

负责作曲的成员 Arnold 借用了来自传统圣诞歌曲《We Three Kings》的其中几个音节为开端。这首圣诞歌本来讲述探访初生婴孩耶稣的三位东方智者。Arnold 一边创作了三个段落,却一边想到三种不同的现代人。

第一种人,早就因为一场疫症而习惯了距离。由秋转冬的每天,只是继续自己的忙碌,今年选择过一个平淡但安静的圣诞。

第二种人,不想因为疫症而习惯了距离,还是决定联络亲友。与其隔空对饮,不如会面感受一下温度,是病毒也好,是生计问题也好,明日的事情明日才算罢。

第三种人,为了确保自己和家人朋友的安全,决定了离开自己本来所属的地方。有些去了陌生的他方,或遇到不可预见的事情,今年的圣诞注定不会有人到访了。

这样的一个圣诞节,大家都在一种不完全、不圆满之中挣扎渡过。透过这首《Visitors》,但愿我们在“新日常”之中跟比较熟悉的圣诞气氛再次重逢。在包括音乐表演等的实体活动渐渐被网上视像方式取代之际,愿我们都一同珍惜身边的人,珍惜每一次的相聚。

With a new lineup of musicians and instruments, Sea Island & Ferry delivers “Visitors” as a close to 2020, a year too full of challenges to be forgotten.

Commissioned as an entry in the holiday playlist of a key shopping centre in Hong Kong, the ensemble rethinks the meaning of &gifts& in this unusual season, and chooses to share the preciousness of seeing one another, and being together face-to-face.

Borrowing a few notes from the traditional carol “We Three Kings” to as its opening, composer Arnold Fang pictured three persona types as he weaved together the three sections of &Visitors&.

The first, so used to distancing during the pandemic, chooses to stay busy with life, and spend this Christmas calmly and quietly.

The second, not submitting to the distance, decides to let tomorrow worry about itself. Embracing the warmth together. Eat, drink and be merry.

The third, sailing off to distant places for their own reasons, end up in far and unfamiliar situations, and no one shall be able to visit them this year.

We all struggle to different extents, with a feeling of incompleteness this Christmas. By recording “Visitors”, we hope everyone can reconnect with a holiday vibe that feels familiar. As festivities including live music get replaced by their online or remote versions, we will cherish every person and every encounter around us.
