新音樂配經典電影
new music for classic film

經典粵語電影‧實驗當代音樂
跨越時代風格音樂類型‧
破格重構電影現場配樂

改編自著名作家巴金的巨著，有「激流三部曲」之稱的《家》、《春》、《秋》，是50年代港產粵語電影中的經典。到底今日的80後、90後、甚至70後有幾多人看過？昔日震撼人心的光影，今天可能只會讓你看得匪夷所思、笑不攏嘴，但比照當下社會萬象，我們的思想又進步到什麼地步？在這個被喻為世紀末的年頭，以粵語長片回溯一遊，新世紀啟示錄即將展現，改變就在當下。

電影現場配樂並非外國默片與管弦樂團專利。由地下派對玩到電子歌劇的新型作曲家Nerve，與即興實驗音樂多媒體先鋒龔志成首度合作，以嶄新前衛音樂重組半世前經典電影，絕對是一次不容錯過的視覺音樂歷險！

Audiovisual journey with Experimental Music + Classic Hong Kong Film
Genre transcending musical performance interconnects with reconstructed movies

Classic Hong Kong films of 1950s - Family, Spring, Autumn were based on Ba Jin's series of novels, also known as the "Torrent Trilogy". These contain stories about young folks struggling to survive the oppressions and repressions of feudalistic family values. How could these social mores of a bygone era inspire our 80s, 90s, or even 70s-born generation in responding to the social phenomena of today? How far has our society moved forward?

Utilizing the well known format of silent movie with orchestral accompaniment, composer - Nerve whose music draws from influences ranging from underground club music to digital opera, will collaborate with contemporary experimental musician - Kung Chi-shing, to create a genre transcending musical performance that will inspire a new outlook on freshly re-edited sequences from these classic Hong Kong movies.

Nerve
(許敖山 Steve Hui）

經常被簡稱為作曲家、演奏家、唱片騎師、策展人或教育工作者。對於如何界定當代音樂、電子音樂、聲音藝術、電影配樂、多媒體劇場、文化交流和狂野派對有無限想象，遊離於象牙塔尖端與十八層地下無間道，實驗甚麼是實驗。

Steve Hui (AKA Nerve), is a composer, performer, DJ, curator and educator. The mark of his prolific creative output can be found across diverse fields from contemporary music, electronic music, sound art, film soundtracks, multimedia theatre, cross-disciplinary exchange to rave parties. Equally at home in the ivory tower of asceticism and the depths of the underground, his singular aim is to uncover the true spirit of experimentation.
