Orientations 向位

▼WV059: Mong Tong 夢東 - Orientations 向位
Excluding percussions and sound samples and using only guitar, bass and synthesizer, Mong Tong brings the latest album titled "Orientations". Different from the heavy use of loops, the band tried a different way of composition and emphasizes abstract sounds, making the whole album more delicate and soft in the sense of listening.
The song titles are coordinates representing the 3 cardinal directions, with the exception of the East, for this has shown up in the word "Orientation". Contrary to their claimed "superstition music", this album is an attempt at ambient music crafting from Mong Tong's iconic sound and improvisation.
As the world's borders gradually open up, Mother Earth slowly comes back to life. "Orientations" is a piece that not only puts all listeners in a trance, but takes them far beyond.
抽去了打擊樂和取樣，只使用吉他、貝斯和合成器創作，Mong Tong 帶來最新專輯《向位》。有別以往的一個 Loop 重複循環，本作嘗試了不同的作曲方式與抽象聲響，使得整張專輯在聽覺上更為細膩與柔和。
「向位」除了指方向與位置，也是聲音「相位」的諧音。曲名則以南北西代表方向，數字代表位置。和以往詭異的迷信音樂不同，本專輯更接近氛圍音樂作品，當然，還有Mong Tong標誌性的音色和編曲。
在全世界邊境逐漸解封的當下，地球慢慢恢復生機。希望每個聽眾都能帶著這張專輯，一同前往更遠的方向。
