聲音的海洋
四天三夜的布農族歌謠學習、經驗世界各地的音樂、即興創作、探索人聲、探索身心

日期： 2024年9月22-25日（週日至週三）
地點：南投埔里-江山樂活, 南投信義鄉
Singing a song with the males in center and the females surrounding.
在這三天裡，我們深入探索「聲音的海洋」，我們尋找來自世界各地的未知傳統，聆聽過往的經典並嘗試創作我們自己的版本。您還將學習如何自己或與他人一起即興創作一首傳統歌曲（一首催眠曲？一首祈禱曲？一首歡樂的問候歌？）。如果您已經喜歡唱歌，並且知道自己的聲音有著如此多的色彩。但是只有其中一些色彩在日常生活中表達出來，現在我們要擴展這種創造性和聲音的潛力，一起看見自己聲音的光譜。
加入我們，一同慶祝人類聲音的力量和潛藏在其中的創造力。毫無疑問，你的祖先知道民謠、宗教聖詩、儀式詠唱：讓它們以新的形式再次浮出水面。在我們探索的起點和亮點上，來自南投信義鄉明德部落的布農族非常樂意在他們每週的歌唱會上歡迎我們。你將有機會與他們近距離合唱，並從中學習他們創作複音多聲部歌曲的方式，並嘗試與他們一起合唱。這是對這座我們摯愛島嶼的許多美好傳統之一的親身沉浸，是極少數人曾經擁有的獨特機會！

Ocean of Voices
Break the wall with sounds. The world is much wider than you thought.
PROGRAM OUTLINE
In three days we dive deep into the Ocean of Sound, we uncover unknown traditions from around the globe, listen to examples and try out our own versions. You also learn how to create a traditional song (A lullaby? An invocation? A cheerful greeting song?) by yourself, or together, on the go. You already love to sing and already know your voice has so many shades. But only some of these shades find expression in everyday life, and now we expand this creative, sonic potential.
Join us for a celebration of the power of the human voice and of creative imagination lurking underneath the surface. Surely your ancestors knew folk songs, religious hymns, ceremonial chants: let them come back to the surface again, in a new guise. At the start and highlight of our exploration, the Bunun from XinYi are so kind to welcome us during their weekly singing session. You will have a chance to sing with them, up-close, and in this way you learn how they create their polyphonic songs and can try to join in with them. A first-hand immersion in one of the many living traditions of this beautiful island and a unique chance very few people have ever had!
