## 《(真)新的一天》電影原聲帶 – 編曲筆記
電影探討了現代世界中關於愛、家庭、聯繫和孤立的主題。大量使用了一種因其美麗而冷淡的音色而聞名的南美洲吉他。電影的倒敘場景讓人聯想到 60 年代的藝術電影 – 充滿豐富飽和的色彩,年輕戀人的樂觀主義,以及他們被偷走的夢想。音樂通過幾乎完全用那個時代標誌性樂器Mellotron來配樂,暗示了這些主題。電影的核心是主角真真的鋼琴曲,其美妙和微妙的性質展現了她處理實現復仇的後果時矛盾的情緒。音樂的和聲可以用“裸露”來形容,大量使用了二度音程、四度音程和七度音程。一支弦樂五重奏使整體更加圓潤。本作品獲文化部影視及流行音 樂產業局 112 年補助,直入你心的電影配樂,(真)新推薦。

Composer’s Note
The movie explores themes of love, family, connection and isolation in the modern world. Much use is made of a small guitar from South America, notable for it’s austere tone. The film’s flashback scenes, reminiscent of 1960s arthouse – full of rich, saturated color; the optimism of young lovers; and their stolen dreams, are scored with the iconic instrument of that era, the Mellotron. A string quintet rounds off the ensemble.
