about

年前的时候，朱文博突然跟我约了一个关于田野的录音，我想到刚好要回梅州山里的老家了，也可以录点东西。便答应了。到的时候已经是大年三十晚上，还没到家就迎面而来一排锣鼓队敲过去，敲锣鼓是家里的传统节目，以至于每次回山里的感觉总是敲敲打打的声音。每年总有一天要早上七八点敲到凌晨一两点，一排人十几二十个老人小孩都拿着锣在敲。有时候还要游着敲，还配着鞭炮，简直是一年一度的听力损伤。田野是安静的，飘着雾，人却是特别的吵闹，但人也是大自然的一部分。我把录音放慢了一倍，放进采样机里，又很像锄地的声音，一下一下的。很有在菜园子干活的感觉。又显得又些沉重。还有一段口哨，调了filter音调加上lfo又很像鸟的声音，加上敲盆车轮的声音，是我的版本的锣鼓。对田野的回忆，我有很多，海浪呼啦啦，鸟儿唧唧哇，我觉得这是神仙的声音。但是锣鼓声，是对人的回忆吧。

Before new year’s, out of the blue, Zhu Wenbo commissioned me to do a recording about the fields, and I thought it was just in time to go back home to the mountains in Meizhou and record something. Arrived when it was already the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, ran into a row of gongs and drums on my way home, a traditional program of my hometown. So much so that every time I go back to the mountains my memory is always the banging sound. Every year it starts from seven or eight in the morning till one or two at night, some twenty old people and children form a band with the gongs. Sometimes they do it while swimming, with firecrackers also. It’s the annual hearing damage. The field is quiet, with drifting fog, but the people are particularly noisy, who are also part of nature. I slowed down the recording twice and put it in the sampler, and it sounded very much like hoeing again, all at once. It very much felt like working in a vegetable garden. There's a whistle with a filter tone and lfo that sounds like a bird, and the sound of a potted wheel. This is my version of a gong. I have many memories of the fields, the waves whirring, the birds chirping—like the sounds of gods. But the sound of gongs and drums, it's the memories of people, I guess.
