【台灣樂團編年史-樂團火系列二16】Editec電輯器 專訪

在華麗奢侈的墮落中找到靈魂的出路。Editec是我非常認真企劃的專輯，以前滾石的同事們都各奔前程，改行的改行，退休的退休，Editec的三位團員也都沒有機會再合體，但這張專輯開啟了一個新紀元，成為領頭先鋒，從此以後台灣的樂迷聽到了更深層次的音樂作品。

時間

「時間」本來收錄在Editec的專輯裡，由Sybil(林祉君)與Tomi對唱，Tomi新組超音界樂團，重新翻唱時間，新版由夏琳恩與Tomi對唱。 「時間」有著80年代新浪潮的旋律，在Editec那張專輯裡屬於最抒情一首慢歌，另外一首慢歌「逃離寂寞」也不錯，只可惜那時讓阿推畫的插畫完全被剪掉（？） 那時的MV，我本來想用個外星人離開地球的概念，不解的是那些阿推的插畫本該出現在「逃離寂寞」的MV裡，最後出現的版本卻是只有字體的動畫版， 也許是因為那時風雲已經走了下坡，沒有錢製作。

作詞：林祉君 / 夏琳恩 作曲 : 傅超華 演唱 : 夏琳恩 / 傅超華

時間代表著一種永恆 no end and no beginning

時間帶來所有的記憶

no matter good or bad

時間沖淡所有的傷痛

no matter how much it hurts 時間考驗所有的真理

no matter how long it’s gonna take

時間讓生命美好 時間讓人變蒼老 時間創造新感受 時間是無情殺手 時間它不會從頭 你想選擇怎樣走 炫影七彩的泡沫 枷鎖幻滅或參透

2016 Collision-DJ 進化論-將人體變成樂器

在Collision可以看到各種新創Startup，今年多了以“音樂”為主題的新創科技舞台。Remidi的創辦人Andrea Baldereschi，除了有工程師的資歷以外，也是夜店的DJ。在古老的迪斯可年代，DJ都要帶著重重的黑膠唱片箱去夜店放歌，在進化一點，DJ可以用CD放歌，千禧年之後，CD播放器也少了，手提電腦和手機都可以放歌。 Remidi可以說是下一波EDM電音演化論，將DJ或是使用者的雙手與midi結合，發出各種音樂聲響。從十幾歲就常跑夜店的我，見證了EDM的興衰史，當DJ開始用CD放歌時已經引人詬病，接者下來是用手提電腦，現在有人發明電音手套，把人跟樂器結合，真讓人為未來DJ的前途冒冷汗，以後夜店可以請素人上台即興創作，戴上手套後，就可以做音樂、混音、接歌，迎向人人都可以創作音樂當DJ的年代了！ Video The wearable music instrument-Remidi
