解心樂團灣仔遊
Unlock the Heart Wan Chai Tour
許敖山 Steve Hui

人人天生都會唱歌,只是不知從何時起就不再唱了;人人都玩過音樂,只是覺得無時間無地方無技術就不再玩了;公共空間本來是為所有人而設,只是大家習慣了以為只可以路過。城市的開放空間有限,在鬧市找到可以行逛、遊戲、發白日夢的空間甚為艱難;疫情下,大家經常長時間留在家中,日日對著四面牆,心情和想像力都處於低潮。

「解心樂團」是一隊非專業臨時樂團,不論年齡、職業、種族或音樂能力也歡迎你加入成為團員。樂團將會在灣仔多個開放空間及之間的路線,一齊唱歌、玩音樂,並以一首二十年代的粵謳改編而成的粵語歌曲《新粵謳解心》為主題曲,透過音樂和空間的共享讓大家解開心事、保持身心健康。

為樂團成員以設的工作坊,將於今年秋天舉行。巡樂日將於年底至明年初舉行。

We all know how to sing, but we just don’t sing anymore. We have all played music, but we no longer do so with lots of sound excuses: no time, no space, no skill. Public spaces are for public use but we pass them by most of the time.

Open spaces in the city are so scarce. It is hard to find a city space just for fun, for daydreaming or for wandering. Since the pandemic, we have been staying so long at home as if being detained. How depressive and boring.

“Unlock the Heart” is an amateur and temporal band. Regardless of age, occupation, ethnicity or music talent, everyone is welcome to join us. The band will perform at and around several open spaces in Wanchai. Using a 1920s Canton old song as its theme, the band will use music and space sharing to unlock people’s heart and keep up people’s spirit.

Workshops for recruited band members will be held in the fall this year, and Music Parade Performance will be organised at the end of 2021 and early 2022.

計劃觀察員:阿三


「社區是發聲的場所。舞台演出與街頭合唱是兩碼子的事。音樂人許敖山(Steve)有街頭演出經驗,所以排練的其中一個重點是要參加者開聲。聲開了,才可以發;發得響亮,人們才聽得見。那不是說「鬥大聲」,而是將粵謳融入車水馬龍的灣仔鬧巿。位於灣仔中心的修頓球場、「打小人」聞名的鵝頸橋,及建築別豎一格的合和中心,自然成為合唱團選擇地方。那些地點是不少灣仔人的記憶,甚至是香港城市印象。」...閱讀全文
