PROGRAM NOTE 樂曲解說:

The idea of this composition, Lego City, came from my first impression of Hong Kong’s urban scene. Even though I have been to other metropolitan areas of the world, the amount of high rises and the degree of density still formed a very surreal image to me. The most spectacular scene is certainly the view of the Victoria Habour. I still remember my first time standing next to the Hong Kong Cultural Centre and looking at the skyscrapers on the Hong Kong Island side. For a long time, I had the illusion that I was a piece of human figure living in the game of Lego. Similar to connecting different pieces of Lego bricks to build a city, the composition consists of different melodic and rhythmic figures that are interlocking together. With running notes and variations of rhythmic patterns, I also tried to portrait the fast pace of life, the energy, and the excitement in Hong Kong.

此曲「樂高城」的想法來自我對香港都會情景的第一印象。雖然我曾去過世界其他地方的大都會,對我而言,香港摩天大樓的數量及密度依舊形成了一個十分超現實的景象。而其中最壯觀的,莫過於維多利亞港的景色。我仍舊記得第一次站在香港文化中心旁,觀賞著港島那岸的摩天大樓。許久,我彷彿就像樂高玩具裡的一個小人物般,生活在樂高城裡。

就如同使用不同的樂高方塊來搭建城市一般,這個作品包含了許多不同,但是相聯的旋律與節奏元素。同時,我試圖使用快速音群與節奏形態的變化,來表達這個快速且富活力與生命力的香港。
