This is an electro-acoustic music piece based on the vocals and metal bells of the aboriginal ditty "Invitation Song". The work is inspired by the history of the aboriginal people in Taiwan. The local aborigines have experienced the influence and integration of foreign cultures, breaking and reorganising some of their habits, accepting new foreign cultures and trying to find and break through. This piece illustrates the various stages of the conflict and collision between the two ideologies. It also uses the development of sound to try to reflect the contrast of different human themes.
The work focuses on the metal bell material and the human voice material as acoustic themes. A vertical hierarchy is contrasted, using simple variations of sound effects such as REVERB\ECHO, while the themes of distortion and noisiness represent the emotional atmosphere of the abruptness and invasion of foreign cultures. As the piece progresses, the vocal motifs representing the Aboriginal people are constantly reorganised and ionised DELAY to highlight the development and change of the Aboriginal sound itself.
The structure of the piece is intro A B C. Section A is mainly cognitive, with the original vocals and bells as the core of the piece, with simple Reverb and Echo for a spatial feel, and MIDI synthesizers for a fuller feel; section B is conflict-oriented, with synthesizers interacting with the original material; section C is imitation-oriented, and section D is fusion-oriented, with the original material stripped away from the original clutter. The original material is stripped away from the original clutter and brought closer to the original sound, but still retaining the conceptual point of fusion in it. As the piece progresses, the original material begins to be distorted, homogenising the vocal themes with those of the foreign culture. This represents the acceptance and transformation of the aboriginal people into their own form of life, seeking unity in contrast.

这是一首以原住民小调“招赘歌”的人声与金属铃铛为核心素材所制作的电子声学音乐作品。作品灵感来源于台湾地区原住民的发展历史。当地原住民经历了外来文化的影响与融合,将一部分的生活习惯打破重组,接受了新的外来文化并尝试寻找与突破。这首作品阐述了两种意识形态在冲突与碰撞的过程中,所产生的各个阶段。并用声音发展的方式尝试体现不同人文主题的对比。
作品主要将金属铃铛素材与人声素材作为声学主题。进行纵向的层次对比,运用了REVERB\ECHO等声音效果器进行简单变化,而失真与噪音化的主题,代表了外来文化突兀与入侵的情绪氛围。在作品进行的过程当中,不断将代表原住民的人声主题重组并进行离子化DELAY来突出原住民本身的声音发展与变化。
作品结构为intro A B C。作品中的A段主要以认知为核心,以原始的人声及铃铛素材为主,仅以简单的Reverb及Echo做空间感的处理,辅以midi合成器做丰满处理。B段以冲突为核心,以合成器与原始素材交互为主。C段以模仿为核心,D段以融合为核心,原始素材在原先的杂乱中剥离,更贴近于原声,但还保有融合的概念点在其中。当作品发展到后期,原始素材的开始进行失真处理,将人声主题与外来文化主题进行同质化。代表了原住民接受并改变了自己的生活形态,谋求了在对比中的统一。
