简介:當印度音樂家遇上中國音樂家時,會是怎樣的音樂景況?他們能否克服缺乏共通語言的障礙?可以通過聲音和旋律交流嗎?他們會各自演奏「自己的音樂」,還是真正的共同創造新的音樂? 中印音樂的交流互動可追溯至1400多年前的六世紀,在印度和南亞音樂的影響下,當時中國音樂的音階正在轉變中。可惜的是,我們對於中印音樂之間的古老交流所知甚少,這就是「薩特赫-薩特赫」計劃出場的原因。 Cultural exchange and experimentation in music across the borders of east and south Asia date back to the time of the Tang Dynasty in seventh century China. Encounters in medieval port cities generated conversations in and of music. These relations in history however are hard to trace today. In the absence of a shared language can music explore and express ideas, emotions, histories? Music Across the Waters: The Saath-Saath Project brought together musicians and scholars from India and China over a period of four years. This film follows their conversations set in studios, galleries and rehearsal rooms away from the hubbub of bazaars and streets. These black/white box settings stage the meetings that unfold through silences, through listening, through tones and notes. Using both transcribed text of actual conversations and re-inscribed text of things left unsaid Movement Traces re-assembles a collaborative process of crossing boundaries and making music.
