《黑夢》

「 千百年前島嶼上的祖先們奔跑、生活，
人獸形玉的光芒閃耀入眼，
雲豹在闊葉林裡穿梭；
老人口中像星星般殞落的語言，
用詩歌將有如考古持續挖掘的記憶碎片拾起，
編織片段的夢境入口，
傳來古老的歌謠對著未來吟唱⋯⋯ 」

💐

《黑夢》是落差草原 ＷＷＷＷ 於 2020年的最新作品，內容以台灣史前的文化遺跡、島上消逝的古老族群、傳說中的物種和即將消逝的語言作為靈感，轉化為〈黑夢〉、〈鯨骨〉、〈貝殼〉三首歌曲，串連成島嶼之夢。

〈黑夢〉、〈貝殼〉講述關於島嶼「已逝去」和「即將逝去」的各種記憶，以合成器為基底鋪整厚實、溫柔的旋律包覆雙人聲的持續吟唱，串接解構的節奏和環境聲響；〈鯨骨〉作為夢與夢之間的橋，以破碎的環境殘響拼貼，在雙曲之間築起時間轉換的光影節點。

在這場島嶼之夢、生命自我追尋的幻境中跌跌撞撞，我們是什麼樣的存在？從哪裡來？往哪裡去？這座島嶼的殘酷與美麗在不斷地探問與詢答中顯露：自由多元的共生會是通往未來的線索，也是一個甦醒的開始。

"Thousands of years ago, the ancestors lived and ran on this island; the light of human-beast-shaped jade ornament shined into people's eyes, and the clouded leopards shuttled in the laurel forests.

Only the elderly can speak the fallen language, which fell like meteors; they wrote poetry to unearth lost letters, to pick up aged memory fragments, and to weave an entrance for their dreams. Singing the ancient ballads to the future.''

💐

"Formosan Dream'' is the latest single by Prairie WWWW in 2020. Three songs “Formosan Dream", "Whales’ Bones" and "Shells" are inspired by Taiwanese lost cultures, including prehistoric relics, ethnic groups, legendary species, and languages that are about to disappear.

Prairie WWWW tells a story about memories from Formosa island which "were passed away" and "about to pass away.” On the first and third track “Formosan Dream" and "Shells", they attempt to put more melody lines on double synthesizers, double lead chantings, and to deconstruct the electronic beat and rhythm. Second track "Whales’ Bones" experiments with sound collage and environmental sounds, building a bridge between the first and the last dreamy pieces.

Stumbled in this dream of Formosa island and self-seeking illusion, Prairie WWWW put forward this question of self-inquiry: What are we? Where are we from? Where will we go? The cruelty and the beauty of this island are revealed in these constant inquiries. Pluralism and Symbiosis are our answers to the future; the awakening has just begun.

▪️音樂裡的靈觀▪️首篇：

我之於海。
My Relationship with the Ocean

我。常常喜歡一個人來看海
因為，海，她夠大～
足以包容世界一些的不完美
因為，海，她是大地宇宙萬物的開始
所以，氣息最早運行是在那片海面上
人類，才有了sasela’an呼吸與生命～

I often enjoy seeing the ocean by myself because she is vast enough to embrace the imperfections of the world; because she is the beginning of everything, of the earth, and the universe. Thus, I believe that the breath was first moving on the surface of the ocean, and then there are sasela’an ( or breath) and life within humans.

早期，就是有些在生存上的不舒服
關於呼吸之間的不順暢
所以，常常回家後在台11線上來回、來回
跟海撒嬌完了後，就好了。
There were some life’s struggles and discomforts in my earlier years – my breath was not smooth and steady. Thus, I often went home and traveled back and forth on Hualien-Taitung Coastal Highway. I felt much better after being affectionate to the ocean.


一個人，可以找到她
關於屬於她的神奇力量～
就像
太陽、風、星星、雨水ㄧ樣
彼此懂得在宇宙間依存的關係，關乎靈魂的那種愛與自由～
Being by myself, I can find her and the magical powers that belong to her, just like the sun, wind, stars, and rain. They understand the interdependent relationship with each other regarding one’s love and freedom of soul.

我很多的歌，創作源自於她。海～
從關乎失去的、被剝奪的、被傷害的一直到討論神話裡的、最後到跨越太平洋的，海給我了身為島嶼後裔來自一個Pangcah族人身為女性的能量～
I have written many songs and compositions that are inspired by her, the ocean. My songs include those about being lost, being plundered, being hurt. They also discuss our mythology and narrate my ocean-crossing journeys. The ocean has given me the power of being a Pangcah woman and being a descendant of the island.


因為發了新專輯，因為sasela’an氣息為名，再次不斷驅使著我去思考我這樣的一個島嶼歌者，要如何好好詮釋這些海洋、島嶼、氣息的思想～
最近上很多廣播通告時，我常常口裡講著氣息、風啊、雨啊、日月星辰啊、精靈、靈魂啊⋯這種⋯🙄
直到有些主持人會透露疑惑不解的表情後，🤔才驚覺自己早已在脫離了台北那斗大的錄音間，飛翔在大海與山林間🌲😇🌊

Once again, I am motivated to contemplate ways of interpreting the thoughts of the ocean, islands, and breath because of the newly released album, entitled Salela’an (Breath). Lately, many hosts of radio shows have scheduled interviews to discuss my music. During these interviews, I always include topics such as breath, wind, rain, the sun, the moon, deities, spirits, etc…until some of them looked puzzled. I suddenly realized that I have already detached myself from the large studios located in Taipei and am flying in between the ocean and forests.


Riyal，阿美族人稱為海～
阿美族人自古就跟海洋深刻的依存與依戀關係
我們神話祖先漂流在船上而被保護著的就是海，族人被供給魚類飽足食物的也是那大海；於是我們有了misacepo海祭
Fata’an馬太鞍我的部落的老人家留著一個美麗的傳說，我們的島嶼（台灣）是因為海洋希望讓我們看見太陽，所以給了人類一個用山堆砌的島嶼，所以海洋、山、島嶼、太陽構成了我們的宇宙觀與信仰～
是人類在世界裡，最被憐愛的一種存在，於是謙卑地活著，是成為人重要的依據～

The Amis people call the ocean riyal. Since ancient times, we have maintained a deep connection with the ocean. Amis mythology describes our ancestors as drifters who were protected by the sea. Our people were also provided fish and fed by the sea; hence there is misacepo (sea festival) in our tradition.
There is a beautiful legend passed down by the elders in my tribe Fata’an: “the ocean gave us an island built by a series of mountains in hopes that we can see the sun.” Thus, our worldview and beliefs consist of the ocean, mountain, island, and the sun. Our very existence in this world shows that we are loved tenderly, and thus knowing that we should live humbly is an essential foundation of being human.


Sasela’an氣息，在阿美族語裡被解釋「呼吸」「氣息」也是「生命」與「休息」之意。
多年前，我想像著千年前的祖先乘著無動力獨木舟勇敢地開始航向未知的世界，於是如今廣大的海洋島嶼分佈著跟我們共同語言與文化的島嶼民族家人們（被稱為南島民族）。
當我開始跨島嶼開始橫渡追尋島嶼故事時，至今仍然不能明確當初的決定，可能這就是島嶼民族的民族性吧，我想～那種未知但卻要航出去的勇氣。
The term, salela’an, can be understood as “breathing” or “breath,” but it also means “life” and “rest.” Many years ago, I imagined the ancestors rode on the canoe (with no auxiliary motor) and bravely voyaged into the unknown world. Therefore, the island families (now being called the Austronesians) who share the same linguistic and cultural patterns traveled and spread throughout the ocean. When I began my island-crossing journey to look for island stories, I didn’t know why I made such a decision (and I still don’t know until this day). I think this is one of the cultural characteristics of the island peoples. I believe this is the kind of bravery in which one voyages forward, despite not knowing what lies ahead.

一路上，我的歌，邊追尋邊紀錄，成為我自己的音樂航海的故事。
索羅門群島、復活節島、巴布亞新幾內亞、毛利、馬達加斯加、東加王國、夏威夷、馬來西亞、菲律賓、印尼，紀錄了我們祖先智慧與胸襟～
My songs documented and sought along the way, becoming my own story as musical navigation. These islands (Solomon Islands, Rapa Nui, Papua New Guinea, Aotearoa, Madagascar, Tonga, Hawaiʻi, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia) recorded the wisdom and mind of our ancestors.

歌，
是我們的路，不只是航行的故事，包括通向宇宙星辰與土囊到地底的秘密～
Songs are our pathways; rather than stories of navigation. They include the secrets that direct to the universe, stars, earth, and underground.

而海～
一切萬物都包覆在她的美麗的圍裙裡啊～
And as for the ocean, every wonder of the world is covered within her beautiful apron.
甚願海；能嗅出我的體味
在她的圍裙裡得到餵養
願歌，
能夠成為海洋、島嶼、山、太陽、星辰的祝福

I wish the ocean would be able to sense my odor and I would be fed within her apron.
I wish songs would become the blessings of the ocean, islands, mountains, sun and stars.

最近喺地球嘅另一端發生一件更嚴重嘅事，比起香港更無助嘅係，我哋以為嘅天災，其實係人禍。

呢場喺亞馬遜雨林發生嘅大火，連日嚟都被中美貿易、香港發生嘅衝突蓋過，其他地區嘅媒體都無乜報導過呢件事，但作為地球個肺，咁樣燒法，溫室效應會加劇，甚至加速人類嘅滅亡。你以為只係簡單嘅一場山火，其實係一場巴西官商勾結下嘅蓄意謀殺案，殺害嘅唔單止係亞馬遜森林嘅原居民、動物，更係殺害緊人類嘅未來。巴西總統廢除咗原住民保護區，鼓勵開墾雨林，放任財團縱火，呢一切一切，係咪好似南生團縱火事件呢？

或者大家覺得遠在天邊嘅事我哋管唔到，但我哋求世界關注我哋嘅同時，不妨關注吓呢個世界，另一個地方，燒到痴咗線都係人類一手造成㗎。

呢個地球上嘅生物裡面，只有人類會咁樣自傷殘殺、玉石俱焚，而一切都係源自貪婪。

The lungs of the Earth are in flames. 🔥 The Brazilian Amazon—home to 1 million Indigenous people and 3 million species—has been burning for more than two weeks straight. There have been 74,000 fires in the Brazilian Amazon since the beginning of this year—a staggering 84% increase over the same period last year (National Institute for Space Research, Brazil). Scientists and conservationists attribute the accelerating deforestation to President Jair Bolsonaro, who issued an open invitation to loggers and farmers to clear the land after taking office in January.⁣
⁣
The largest rainforest in the world is a critical piece of the global climate solution. Without the Amazon, we cannot keep the Earth’s warming in check. ⁣
⁣
The Amazon needs more than our prayers. So what can YOU do?⁣
⁣
✔ As an emergency response, donate to frontline Amazon groups working to defend the forest. ⁣
✔ Consider becoming a regular supporter of the Rainforest Alliance’s community forestry initiatives across the world’s most vulnerable tropical forests, including the Amazon; this approach is by far the most effective defense against deforestation and natural forest fires, but it requires deep, long-term collaboration between the communities and the public and private sectors. Link in bio.⁣
✔ Stay on top of this story and keep sharing posts, tagging news agencies and influencers. ⁣
✔ Be a conscious consumer, taking care to support companies committed to responsible supply chains.⁣ Eliminate or reduce consumption of beef; cattle ranching is one of the primary drivers of Amazon deforestation.
✔ When election time comes, VOTE for leaders who understand the urgency of our climate crisis and are willing to take bold action—including strong governance and forward-thinking policy.
