Because of drum music of “Night Fight” from movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, A-Mao started being interested in
Tan Dun’s work. Tonight’s overture is “Forbidden City” from the opera Marco Polo. As a composer, Mr. Tan seamlessly conducted the orchestra to his ideas of contemplation, and this piece were explaining what his philosophy of music is, western one plus eastern one is not two but one. The following is “Paper Concerto” for Paper Percussion and Orchestra. It is fantastic that paper sheet, paper screen, paper box, paper pipe, paper bag & paper umbrella as well as Chinese folding paper fan could be played as instruments. In addition, members of the orchestra can speedily change the pages of their scores to make humorous sounds. The main soloist, Haruka Fujii, performed perfectly, and
TSO was accompanied her well. Then, the audience cheerfully clapped this concerto, which is better, according to my personal opinion, than wonderful “Water Concerto”.
會開始注意
譚盾，是因為電影臥虎藏龍中「夜鬥」的鼓樂。04年聽
NSO與黃皚雲合作的「水樂」，波光瀲灩的絕妙聲光效果至今仍印像深刻（那年的曲名為水之協奏曲）。今晚的序曲是「紫禁城」：選自歌劇「馬可波羅」。萬萬沒想到作曲家作為一個指揮，感染力會那麼強烈，曲子也真的是闡釋他東方西方1 + 1 = 1的音樂哲學。接著是「紙樂」：交響協奏曲；打擊樂主奏：藤井はるか。紙張、紙幕、紙板、紙箱、紙管、紙袋、紙傘、紙扇都能成為打擊樂器。壹、古老的紙祭：詭異的氛圍讓A-Mao想起湘西趕屍的傳說。貳、詼諧曲：連樂譜都能成為樂團伴奏的樂器。參、暴風雨：不安的情緒是伏筆。肆、節日：在主奏的帶領下，大家歡唱鄉村農歌。總而言之，整首曲子的佈局很緊湊，
北市交亦表現不俗，博得滿堂彩。
The Map, Concerto for Cello, Video and Orchestra, reminded A-Mao of lyric of Qu Yuan’s “Nine Songs” as well as experience listening to and watching
Ensemble Modern played
Steve Reich’s “Different Trains”. This multimedia masterpiece contains 9 movements in 4 sections, featuring a different aspect of the traditional music of Tujia, Miao & Dong people in Hunan. The most touching movement to me is the 7th, Stone Drums, in which two stones are played with different angles to make various tones, followed by a percussion quartet of previous, the same video footage. The cello soloist, Richard Bamping, from England plays on a Guarneri and interprets Chinese music element without fail. Great performance! But it is sad that we had no encore played by the Guarneri.
讓A-Mao聯想到屈原之「九歌」、暨04年觀賞
摩登樂集演奏
賴克「不同的火車」之經驗的，是下半場以多媒體呈現，規模宏大又極富巧思的「地圖」：尋回消失中的根籟；與交響樂團和湖南採風影音對位的大提琴獨奏：理查．邦平。壹、儺戲與哭唱：巫師的面具舞蹈、與將嫁女兒的土家族母親要唱的制式哭歌。貳、吹木葉：土家族音樂，獨奏模仿吹葉子的聲音還滿逗趣的。參、打溜子：又稱「打傢伙」、「打家業」等，為土家族的打擊曲牌音樂。肆、苗嗩吶：九個樂章中最短的一個，由同是雙簧家族的英國管起頭，交付樂句給中國的嗩吶。伍、飛歌：苗族姑娘穿越時間空間，與獨奏大提琴對話。陸、間奏曲—聽音尋路：唯一沒有採風影像的樂章。柒、石鼓：因為超凡入聖的石頭演奏與多軌影音的四重奏，這是讓A-Mao最感動的樂章。捌、舌歌：又名侗家大歌，為侗族少女的碎碎的多彩合唱。玖、蘆笙：侗族音樂，也是一個相當振奮人心的終曲，結果最後聽眾當然熱烈鼓掌。獨奏家邦平雖然是英國人，但是美好弦音中的中國韻味非常精準；不過也真小氣，人家想聽瓜奈里的安可啦！【谭盾的多媒体视听飨宴】
The Map—地圖
Recently, one customer said that there is a good H.246 DVR maker providing competitive price in China, this company is called Lan Castle, and the logo is AN-TONE. After accessing their live demo, users have to install a software designed by Kingwave in Taiwan.
Not surprised that there was a camera monitoring one clock. H.264?
Now 传统 (literally tradition) or 古早味 (literally taste of the old days) is one of keynotes of Taiwanese food industry, but it doesn’t mean definite delicacy. One afternoon in Wanhua (or Bangka), Taipei City's oldest district, A-Mao encountered A-Xiu Traditional Qie-A Noodles, which seems to be introduced by gourmet TV shows before. Seeing that there were many eaters, A-Mao ordered Qie-A Noodles & pork heart. Its biggest selling point is that noodles is traditionally 切 (literally to cut) into a pudding shape; but, the whole bowl is normally delicious. As for the pink pork heart, however, A-Mao really loves it. Really fresh, tender & juicy!
In 2005, A-Mao's superior, Annie, taught way to be a salesman and, during ISC West, how to play craps. Recently, I am not fearful anymore of playing blackjack in front of dealers. Both win & loss is part of travel abroad! If I won, the dealer was tipped some and a few small-value chips were kept as souvenir. The Blue Man's venue in Las Vegas is at the Venetian. After purchasing a ticket, I spent time by a craps table. Now these three chips are my victory badges. Especially for the $1 Blue Man chip, it suggests memory of their nice show.
中華餡餅粥はA-Maoの好きな老舗。褡褳火焼（ダーリェンフオシャオ）のあんは豚挽肉と黄ニラ。XLサイズの棒餃子であるようです。口当たりの大満足！なお、牛肉餡餅（ニュウロウシャンピン）の餡は牛挽肉とネギ。信じられないほどジューシー！
A-Maoの最も大好きな屋台のうちの一軒は晴光市場の晴光米粉湯（ビーフンスープ）です。ビーフンが少し厚いけれども、テクスチャーは柔らかい。スープも豚骨の味で満たされます。汁が多い豚コブクロと豚ハラミを非常に推薦します。ソースなしでもおいしい。
