Program Notes:
Facing the Mountains is based on the inspirations of three mountains: Yangmingshan in Taipei City, Mount Damavand in Iran, and Mount Garibaldi in Vancouver, Canada. Taking its historical and humanistic background as the starting point, it is cross-culturally intertwined and shuttles between the cultural backgrounds of the three mountains: volcanoes; their relics of prehistoric human history and were later the residences of aboriginal tribes; moreover, each one of the three mountains has a rich historical trajectory and unique characteristics.
Facing the Mountains is funded by the Taipei City Government, Department of Cultural Affairs Commission grants.
樂曲解説:
【觀山】Facing the Mountains 是以台北市的陽明山、伊朗的德馬溫峰(Mount Damavand)及加拿大溫哥華的加里波第山 (Mount Garibaldi)為創作的泉源。以其歷史人文背景為出發點，跨文化交織且穿梭於三座山之文化背景之間。三座山皆為火山; 三座山皆有史前人類歷史的遺跡及之後為原住民部落的居所; 三座山皆各自具有豐富的歷史軌跡及獨特的特色。
此首作品透過歷史，講述萬年前的火山岩時期、早期史前文化、近千年至400年來的歷史文化背景，及現代史之人文背景為主要訴求與樂曲概括。
此作品由臺北市政府文化局藝文補助。

Facing the Mountains

I performed this on a concert of Asian music, at Kansas State University on Monday, April 1, 2019. There was a lot of coughing during my performance, so I re-recorded it in my studio with my own gear!
