*first fragment* What are you staring at? 
Give me a like or leave me alone.
 I put my smile on but it’s not for you, 
 obviously the women should behave this way, that’s what they said. but, no one wanna be responsible for that. so? Is this my best angle? 

How does that girl being so popular, did you see her? she is so ugly and annoying, this world is absurd. Can we just block her? Can we give her an angry face? No! No! No! No! No! I try not to being this way, but I keep on saying More! More! More!
 alright then, give me break, let me take a selfie.
 did you see her? did you see her? she is so ugly and annoying, annoying, * second fragment* Is there someone see my smartphone? I feel so stupid without it. it’s time to run my instagram, becuz i’m instafamous. sitting in front of the screen, working on the double clicks. Influencer, that’s the tittle of my profession. Do you have this filter? I just downloaded it from the top 10 free app, make me look more curvy and sexy. sexy. sexy. wait Wei Wei, let’s do live stream? put some heavy make up on and remove it, 1K viewers and one clothe off. everybody wanna see. Hashtag- Adult only. What the fxxk, Who is making the comment of none sense, Jesus christ, known face.

About kNOwn FACE sound/music design :



在這齣獨舞新作編舞家李貞葳想討論女體(臉)如何在社群媒體的時代下,產出的自我形象與身體的感知與狀貌的內在語彙。

跳GALA舞蹈出名的她,善於挑戰當下與即興的身體,然如何在這全白的篇章中以聲響音樂編織出她想傳遞的淺意識的網,我們使用了一個比較辛苦的工作方法,即她丟我收,我丟她收。

這是貞葳出道後首次的獨舞作品。也是我第一次全盤設計獨立舞蹈劇場作品,在獨舞舞蹈與聲響音樂就像是魚與水的關係,更特別是身為兩個三十歲的在不同領域闖蕩的台灣女性藝術家的第一次交疊,讓這齣作品有深遠的味道。

我曾在舞蹈廳裡看她從黑盒子找出此舞的文本,跳舞不看鏡子的她第一次有了一個鏡子的黑盒子,我看鏡子裡的她跳舞,像是盲人摸象的隨便抓取聲響,這種聲音與身體即興的過程,是這些音樂的生產開端,觀看她即興的過程中產出聲響,她從中片段的音樂裡編舞,一切從她在比利時的家中,在廁所錄製隔壁鄰居的派對與社交聲響為出發,像是在意識拼圖中刨刮出來她想要的聲音色彩。

以下為每首曲目概要的創作說明:


Chapter 1: Collapse body / Social Live Dream + wondering around cyber space

我以IG裡觀看各種限時動態的聲響,以及網路上飄蕩的各種社交場合的環境聲效,社群軟體符號伴隨的音效,以及網美直播主的私密對話為素材,塑造第一章節,推展著不明混屯塌陷的身體,如何吸取這場能量,逐漸地來到第二個章節,這個塌陷的身體(自我)形象的吸取塑形中,她逐漸學習了固化的吸引目光的方法。

Chapter 2: Smile robot
Smile Robot微笑機器人的章節,我選擇未來合成器與虛擬大提琴為一主奏,使用僵化的,非完成的音節編織仿若音樂盒女孩上唱著那破碎的自我愛戀篇章,並插入未來機器人的身體移動的聲效,探索女體形象與當代之間的扁平與自我形象價值的建構掙扎。然而最後她發現了如何愉快的,找到讓她能上癮的(閃光燈響),她(們)穿過並重塑了自體,找到了外在價值的「美」。

Chapter 3: Close up
Close Up 是透過手機鏡頭在錄製貞葳的身體時所收集到的手機摩擦聲,以及她的哼吟聲,並將非我認定的外在價值如何扭曲折騰自我檢視,我透過毀滅性的效果器將那些細微的摩擦聲逐漸放大直至有時夜深人靜,在得不到認同彷如火星上的孤獨感置入,以噪音展現當代的女性檢視時時刻刻內在產生的不安與歇斯底里。


Theme: kNOn FACE ,Pop Songsss (Orignal mix)

這是整段舞蹈中的最高潮,也說明著女性如何學會了一場「社交語言」,由貞葳透過觀察網紅的影像姿態展現方法,她以舞者的身份挑戰寫歌詞,我以非正規音樂人的方式替她製作一段類似「流行電音」的音樂,對我們去挑戰非自己擅長的「類型」都是一項艱辛的任務。此曲以歐美陷阱嘻哈與EDM的合成器聲色與節奏為一擬仿,融合唸唱式的歌劇式的歌詞,把自拍成癮以戲謔的獨白方式呈現。當獨白結束後,進入社交大染缸,在pop song的創作,我使用了各種類型模組的聲音素材,將全球化商業流行舞曲類型的節奏與音樂並置,以及像是滑手機的時間感,塑造後網路社會的群聚癲狂。

Theme: I - LOVE - Smoke Body 

最後一章節,是從貞葳對著鏡子從「i 到愛到我愛你」的中英臺語之間的轉換所錄製到的聲響為核心素材,她期望在汪洋的資訊轟炸社會中,我們不是塌陷也不是有著癲狂的自我,反而是能看見自己而能面對自己,進而放下一切的強加身上的非我,在瞭義一切後如煙的歡慶於生命之中。於此概念下我使用了擅長的drone 與ambient techno ,透過節慶式的重複聲響,塑造自我慶祝的氛圍。
