醇厚/LUSH SOUNDS. LOW LEAF INTERVIEW

Los Angeles’ Low Leaf is the latest in a proud line of strong, spiritual women that strum the extended strings of the harp. And this is not a gimmick, LL might be slight of frame but she handles the large instrument like a seasoned session player. If you’re not familiar with her chilled out sounds and need a co-sign, she dropped a collabo single, A Light Within, with noted beatologist King Britt in 2014.

近日樂壇出現了一個充滿靈性的女音樂人,來自美國洛杉磯的Low Leaf雖然還沒有太大的名氣,但她以彈得一手好的豎琴而引人注目。若果你對Low Leaf這個名字及她的Chill out音樂感到陌生,聽一聽她在2014年與以做節拍稱皇的King Britt合作的專輯《A Light Within》,你便知道我所言非虛。

這位才華洋溢、對多種樂器均揮灑自如的美籍菲律賓音樂人,感性而又充滿靈性,與Erykah badu有著很多共通之處。在以下的訪問中,她不但向我們分享了豎琴對她在音樂創作上的影響,更講述了她的音樂歷程及她的最新大碟背後的深厚意義。

SPITGAN:可否為我們讀者介紹一下你自己,你最為人所熟悉的是什麼?
Low Leaf:我覺得應該是彈奏豎琴…以電音混合豎琴制作音樂。我同時會彈鋼琴、結他、做節拍及唱歌。

SG : 可否講一下你的音樂背景?
LL : 我五歲開始彈鋼琴、接受古典音樂訓練。四年級學了一年豎琴,但當時教我豎琴的老師退休了,我亦沒有學下去。其餘的樂器都是自學的,像怎樣以結手作曲、怎樣以電腦錄歌、怎樣做節拍。直至2009年我才再開始彈豎琴,那時我覺得自己在豎琴方面什麼都不懂,於是我決定胡亂的做一些歌,我當時還對自己說,“我很爛,不如還是唱唱彈彈算了。”

SG : 是什麼讓你再重新拿起豎琴?
LL : 當我正在改變我的音樂風格的時候,有人向我推薦了Alice Coltrane的音樂。老實說當時我只想將豎琴混入我做的節拍當中,但後來,我覺得可能是因為自己成熟了,當我彈豎琴時,發現它原來是一種很特別的樂器,值得進一步去發掘,而不單單只是作為採樣的一部分。當我愛上Alice Coltrane及Dorothy Ashby的音樂的時候,我發現了豎琴的另一面,並被它深深的啟發著。我當時在想,我應該以自己的風格去開拓豎琴,在我的音樂進化的路程上,豎琴是非常自然進入其中的。
