Three Movements for Percussionist

余林橞敲擊獨奏音樂會
Percussion Recital by Karen Yu
22.04.2026 (三 Wed) | 8pm
牛池灣文娛中心劇院|Theatre, Ngau Chi Wan Civic Centre

Three Movements for Percussionist is a solo recital in which curator‑performer Karen Yu reimagines her percussion practice – from sound, to space, to the performing body itself – across four striking works. The journey moves from a single woodblock to her own torso, from shimmering lights to the fragile boundary between memory and performance. 

The evening opens with a new solo by Hong Kong composer Angus Lee’s …but only the radiant, shimmering - (2025–26), written for a dedicated to her, and featuring light artist Amy Chan. Sound and illumination unfold as one continuous current: streams of resonances, glow, flicker, and dissolve like consciousness, leaving luminous sonic and visual traces in their wake. Sarah Hennies’s Psalm 3 (2009) reduces percussion to a single woodblock. Through microscopic variations of touch and timing, an entire soundscape emerges from one object, revealing the acoustics of the space itself. Vinko Globokar’s iconic work ?Corporel (1985) turns the performer’s body into the instrument. Bones, skin, breath become raw, intimate and unmediated, exposing the physical act of sound-making through the collapse of distance between her and the audience. 

The program culminates in the world premiere of Three Movements for Percussionist (2026), a new commission co‑created by choreographer Joseph Lee, composer Lawrence Lau and Karen Yu. Emerging from their ongoing research on scoring practices since 2020, the piece invites the performer to replay, reinterpret, re-inhabit traces of a past performance – treating the body as both instrument and living archive.

《Three Movements for Percussionist》是一場敲擊獨奏會,由余林橞策劃及演出。以四首風格鮮明的作品重新想像敲擊樂實踐——從聲音、到空間、再到表演中的身體本身。從一個木魚出發,延伸至她的身體;從閃爍的光線,走向記憶與現場表演之間那脆弱而模糊的邊界。

音樂會以香港作曲家李一葦為她創作的全新獨奏作品《迴光》(2025–26)揭開序幕,並與燈光藝術家陳一云合作呈現。聲音與光線如同一股持續流動的脈流展開:共鳴的聲響閃耀、躍動、消散,如流動的意識般留下明亮的聲響與視覺殘影。Sarah Hennies作品《Psalm 3》(2009)將敲擊樂濃縮至一個木魚。透過觸擊與節奏上極其細微的變化,整個聲音場域從單一物件中浮現,顯現出空間本身的細膩聲學紋理。Vinko Globokar經典作品《?Corporel》(1985)則將演奏者的身體化為樂器。骨骼、皮膚與呼吸變得直接、親密而裸露,揭示發聲的身體性,並消弭演奏者與觀眾之間的距離。

音樂會最終以委約新作《Three Movements for Percussionist》(2026)的世界首演作結,由編舞李偉能(Joseph Lee)與作曲家劉曉江(Lawrence Lau)聯同余林橞共同創作。作品源自他們自 2020 年以來對「譜記」的持續研究,邀請演奏者重演、重新演釋並再次棲居於過往演出的記憶和痕跡之中——使身體同時成為樂器與活生生的檔案庫。
