“Our work is a dance performance with a soundtrack that consists of bits and pieces of noises and sound effects. I think what we're doing is even more experimental.” Ellen Loo
“Dream Illusion Bubble Shadow “ Sep 19 – 21
Grand Theatre, Hong Kong Cultural Centre
The Inquisition: Singer-songwriter Ellen Loo
【South China Morning Post 48 Hours】Aug 2014
The singer-songwriter explains why music is more so much more important than stardom
48 HOURS: You performed in the Taipei premiere of Dream Illusion Bubble Shadowin March, and this multimedia dance show plays at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre from September 19 to 21. How do you feel about your participation?
Ellen Loo: It gives me great satisfaction. There are so many restrictions imposed by pop music conventions — like the duration of each song — that I don't have to deal with when I perform with Zuni Icosahedron. I can do a song that's eight or 16 minutes long. We can improvise at every performance, we don't even have to stick to a score.
48 HOURS: I've read that you're a fan of Radiohead and you really like the song Paranoid Android, which is noted for its theatrical arrangement. Is that an inspiration behind your part in this show?
Ellen Loo: Yeah, but our work is not as "aggressive" — after all, Dream Illusion Bubble Shadow is inspired by a line in the Diamond Sutra: "All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows." Our work is a dance performance with a soundtrack that consists of bits and pieces of noises and sound effects. I think what we're doing is even more experimental than Paranoid Android.
48 HOURS: This is your third collaboration with Zuni. How have you evolved as a performer since 2004: A Hong Kong Odyssey?
Ellen Loo: I'm more interested in the director's ideas. I wasn't before; I just did what I was told. I often watch from the stands when I'm not in a scene. I want to get the overall picture.
48 HOURS: You've developed this image as a rock musician, even giving yourself the nickname Rockmui. Do you agree that shows like Dream Illusion Bubble Shadow set you apart from other Canto-pop stars?
Ellen Loo: Yes, although that's not the only reason for me to take part. When I agreed to do this, I was first and foremost attracted by the fact that it's a dance show. I'd like to work on a greater variety of projects, such as the movie soundtrack for The Midnight After I did recently. Everyone in the Hong Kong showbiz — including former models Ella Koon Yun-na and Pakho Chau — has to be multitalented to survive. Nobody here is allowed to concentrate on singing alone.
48 HOURS: I guess you are different from others in that you don't always stay in the spotlight. You've performed as a session guitarist at the concerts of quite a few other singers.
Ellen Loo: I'm content as long as it's related to music.
48 HOURS: There's the dilemma that, if you don't sing, few people here pay attention to you no matter how great a guitarist you are.
Ellen Loo: Like Steve Vai?
48 HOURS: Well, doesn't it bother you that one must be known primarily as a singer in order to become a star in Hong Kong?
Ellen Loo: I think it's good enough as long as you personally believe that you're a star, though it's true that there are way too few people who understand the importance of guitarists. I used to take that to heart when I picked my jobs but I've realised it didn't work that way.
48 HOURS: So is it easier to work in Taiwan and the mainland, where there's less assumptions about what a pop star should do?
Ellen Loo: It's a different type of problem I come across there. There's an enjoyable side to it because there's the excitement from exploring a new market. So even when I played a Wuhan venue to a crowd of 29 people, it didn't really bother me because it's part of an exploration process.
48 HOURS: Do you expect a different local reception for Dream Illusion Bubble Shadow to that you received in Taiwan?
Ellen Loo: I'm a bit worried that I'll be beaten up by my Hong Kong audiences if they come with the wrong expectations and presume that I will be singing. I won't make a sound throughout the whole performance; I'll only play the guitar. Well, I just really hate it when an audience doesn't read up about the performance they are going to see.

《紅玫瑰與白玫瑰》
胡恩威 ╳ 何秀萍 ╳ 于逸堯 ╳ 尤美 ╳ 高若珊 ╳ 楊永德
無關政治的愛情政治
愛情，不是普選，是篩選
振保的生命裏有兩個女人，他說一個是他的白玫瑰，一個是他的紅玫瑰。一個是聖潔的妻， 一個是熱烈的情婦。也許每一個男子全都有過這樣的兩個女人，至少兩個．娶了紅玫瑰，久而久之，紅的變了牆上的一抹蚊子血，白的還是「床前明月光」；娶了白玫瑰，白的便是衣服上的一粒飯粘子，紅的卻是心口上的一顆硃砂痣。
你，是他的紅，還是他的白？
你，有多少紅，幾多白？
做一個無情的女人會幸福些嗎？
做一個無情的男人會快樂些嗎

《別的》
曲：于逸堯@人山人海
詞：何秀萍@人山人海
唱：林二汶
世上男男女女 説起同一件事 總有不一樣記憶
有人死心塌地 有人三心兩意 也許都身不由己
心裡明明願意 卻又若無其事 愛情啊談何容易
愛上不該愛的 選了錯誤伴侶 找理由説服自己
不管跟誰在一起 還有一位在心底
春去秋來 花開兩枝 艷紅潔白 為同一個人走來
床前的一輪明月光 轉眼會變作一顆飯粒子
得到了手 又嫌不夠 還有 沒有 心問口
心裡明明願意 卻又若無其事 愛情啊談何容易
愛上不該愛的 選了錯誤伴侶 找理由説服自己
不管跟誰在一起 還有一位在心底
無怨無悔 有始有終 合情合理 多少人真的可以
牆上的一抹蚊子血 放到心頭就是永誌不渝
不會錯沒有絕對 回頭一看都破碎
不管跟誰在一起 還有一位在心底
無怨無悔 有始有終 合情合理 多少人真的可以
相隔著好一段距離 放在心頭就是永誌不渝
床前明月光 牆上蚊子血 擦不去 摘不掉 一念到底
