-----文末有中文解說

Since the early 20th century, glaciers worldwide have steadily diminished, impacting diverse regions from the Alps and Himalayas to Greenland. Antarctica, Earth's largest glacier store, faces thinning ice and shelf collapses.

Each year, glaciers discharge a colossal 46 cubic kilometers of ice, accompanied by deafening roars. Sea-bound glacier collapses involve massive ice shelves plunging into the ocean with seismic force, generating tsunami-like waves. Caution is crucial for distant shipborne observers.

This composition utilizes 3D immersive soundscapes, creating synesthetic experiences. It vividly depicts glacier texture, height, floating ice flow, and their disintegration. Beyond the mesmerizing imagery, it symbolizes human violence and destruction toward our planet. This narrative extends to the 21st-century realm of warfare, expressing an apocalyptic sentiment. Although primarily electronic, it integrates choir-like elements symbolizing the human-deity connection, delving into themes of apocalypse, redemption, and, in the final elegy, forgiveness.

Throughout its creation, I blurred the lines between painting and composing, sculpting sounds guided by my inner artistic vision. Close your eyes to sense the glacier's texture, temperature, weight, and the waves enveloping its consumed essence. 🎨🎵🌊❄️

『冰川』（Glacier)
自20世紀初以來，全球多數冰川都在不斷縮小🌍🏔️🌡️。這種現象已經觀察到在各大洲的不同地區，包括亞爾卑斯山脈、喜馬拉雅山脈、洛磯山脈、安第斯山脈等，格陵蘭島的冰川近年來正在經歷大規模的融化。南極洲是地球上最大的冰川存放區之一，某些地區的冰層變薄，並且有冰架崩解的情況。
每年，冰川在轟隆巨響中崩解出46 立方公里的冰，海面的冰川崩解時，偌大的冰架轉瞬間在巨響下大塊大塊的沈入海中、被海水吞噬，並在之後產生數個極大的巨浪，並將這些如海嘯般的巨浪推向遠處。在遠方船上的遊客，若未保持距離，很容易會被巨浪席捲到。

這個作品用 3D 沈浸式的聲響，讓聽眾產生視聽聯覺的心象，描繪了冰川的質地、高度、海面上急流的浮冰、以及冰川的崩解以及輓歌。在壯麗的冰川崩解景象，所代表的，卻是人類對世界的暴力與毀滅，而這樣的暴力和毀滅，在 21 世紀不僅限於冰川，也包含了戰爭。因此冰川崩解，延伸出的心靈意義是人類的暴力和恐慌，藉由冰川表達 21 世紀的『末世感』。雖然這首是電聲作品，以冰川的物質現象為主要描繪，但其中有類似合唱的聲響，象徵著人與神的關係，探詢末世與救贖的意涵，在最後的輓歌中，也帶著寬恕。

另外這部作品在創作時，我已經無法分辨我是在繪圖還是創作音樂，因為所有的聲響，乃依循著我內在心象的『畫作』的筆觸呈現，期望您閉眼聆賞時，也能感受到冰川的觸感、溫度、重量、以及承載吞噬冰川的海浪。
