about

The city has become very strange
It is misty all around
I have lost my sense of directions

I thought I found a television
But it turned out to be a billboard
I thought I saw a wall
But it turned out to be a tombstone

I can't even distinguish top from bottom –
Why is it so dry on the umbrella
But raining underneath?

Walking on overcast streets
Turning around dark corners
I seem to have returned to the starting point
I laughed –
Or did I cry?
I'm tired
Therefore I squat

(roughly translated from the Chinese version)

Based on “Getting Lost”, one of the miniatures composed for the project, “Lost in the City” is a trio written for a mixed ensemble of piano, zheng and erhu. The trio represents a modern re-imagination of the miniature. Musical features from the traditional genre like indefinite repeats of short melodic blocks, abrupt changes from one melodic block to another, and heterophonic writings are fused with Western contemporary musical styles from post-minimalism to post-rock music.

這個城市突然變得很陌生
四周一片迷濛
讓我分不清方向

我以為我找到了電視
但原來是廣告牌
我以為我看到了牆壁
但原來是墓碑

我甚至還分不清上下——
為甚麼傘上很乾爽
傘下卻下著雨呢?

走在灰濛濛的街頭
轉過一個又一個晦暗不明的街角
我似乎又回到原地
我笑了出來——
還是哭了起來?
我累了
就蹲了下來

《迷失都市》以為項目創作的一首小品《迷路》為基礎創作,由鋼琴、箏和二胡 演奏。這首三重奏以當代手法重塑了該首小品。樂種傳統的音樂特色,如會無限 重複的短旋律、從一段旋律樂段到另一段的突然轉變、以及支聲複調的織體,在 此與西方各種現代音樂風格融合(包括後極簡主義及後搖滾音樂)。
