【Aqua Challenge 四強積分賽// 主題二】

這次節目邀請前四強盛裝打扮共進晚餐，
結果無預警宣布我們當天晚上穿的衣服就是我們要改造的衣服，
再使用一件節目提供的衣服做改造，
沒錯，沒有任何人的幫忙就是由我們自己親手改造⋯

這次進入積分賽第二個主題，
而我這次是跟Andrew配對，
在改造的過程中以前作過類似陣頭的Fashion Look就浮現在腦中，
以現有的材料把元素一一的加進去，
希望可以將台灣這獨一無二的民俗技藝放進作品，
讓更多人可以看到台灣這特別的陣頭文化。

如果你也喜歡我們的服裝改造以及作品，
記得在星期五（10/30）晚上11點前投票給
模特兒：Kenny // 攝影師：Andrew

我們進入積分賽真的很需要你們的票數支持以及分享！拜託拜託！

【陣頭 Din Tao】

依照節目主題「服裝改造」，
將兩套風格完全不同的二手衣服以及節目提供的有限材料，
以武士、鬥牛士⋯等等，為大方向，
設計過程中將素材一一加入，
最後衍生出以台灣特有的「陣頭文化」為設計主軸，

「陣頭」為台灣獨一無二的文化特色，
我們在此次作品當中也想特別帶出台灣這項非常特別的民俗技藝，然而這項民俗技藝文化卻正越漸遺失。

改造二手衣，將不同的衣服合併成一件令人驚艷的新傑作，就像是陣頭精神一樣，每一個環節都代表著團隊裡的每一位團員，當將每一個環節結合在一起時，最終將成為令人驚艷的佳作。

[Din Tao]

According to the theme of this episode "Costume makeover", we used two sets of second-hand clothes with completely different styles and limited materials to create this masterpiece.

We also wanted to use this chance to highlight an important part of Taiwan’s culture that is slowly becoming forgotten.

"Din Tao" is a unique cultural dance of Taiwan.

It started amongst small villages, and as long as there is a celebration, people would perform it.

Din Tao culture brings about the cohesiveness of villagers.
Each member of the group is trained by the villagers together, and "Din Tao" is now considered a very unique form of temple performance. It is a culture that is soon to be lost as the younger generations rarely practice it.

Cutting different clothes and putting them together to create something amazing is very much like “Din Tao”, where every piece of clothing represents each member of the performing group, when put together, becomes a masterpiece.

Have you heard of Paris?

It’s a composition about love & romance. In Angel & Demon, I have invited a very good friend of mine ,Bernard Chan Cellist, to add a smoothening flavour to this composition with his beautiful and mellow cello playing. Isn’t it enchanting?

And I assume you’ve all met Joyce Cheung, the unique talent who always arrange & perform my composition effortlessly. We’re particularly proud of the cohesiveness of this live recording after performing this piece for over 50 times.

[1/3] I got FULL MARKS for this composition as part of my IB Music HL composition coursework (25% of my final grade)!!!! Note: some of the dynamic markings are messed up because im recording this on panorama mode :(

This song is a rewrite based on my previous IGCSE composition 'The Maze Runner' (https://youtube.com/watch?v=3VpPBgywVzA)!

Reflective Statement:

My initial intention for ‘Haunting’ was to compose for mallet quartet describing my own IB journey. I wanted to experiment with a 5-octave marimba, and was also intrigued by extended ternary form (AABA) in chamber music. I was inspired by the soundtrack from “Legend Of The Wind” by Studio Ghibli, but was also influenced by minimalist music such as “Mallet Quartet” by Steve Reich. A performers note has been included to help clarify the meaning of each section and to convey its meaning.

I began composing this piece on the marimba with the intention of a four-mallet marimba solo due to its wide range. However, I then decided to expand it to a small ensemble so that I could experiment with different textures, timbre and harmonies. As a result, I fragmented the main melody to include more tone colour in the piece. As a percussionist, I was aware of the many unique techniques capable of the marimba and vibraphone, thus I wanted to exploit that and transform my composition by writing in unconventional techniques and notations (such as handle- on-handle and rapid glissandi) and was able to choose more interesting rhythms. I developed my piece by adding an entire section using mainly triplets to create a contrast in rhythm, which helped create a climax.

The outcome of this piece is that I learnt how to develop ideas from fragments of melody, and how to compose a rhythmically challenging piece whilst still maintaining an overall cohesiveness. I also learnt how to compose for a repetitive melody yet still being able to add colour and maintain interest as the piece progresses. As a result, this lead me to discovering many vibraphone techniques I hadn’t learnt prior, such as mallet-dampening and learning how to use the pedal properly!
