WAY UP

Yamaha 新興樂手計劃,推廣新進藝術家與音樂
樂手介紹
























Maggie Miles
- 歌手,詞曲作家
Maggie Miles 是一名詼諧有趣的20歲另類音樂流行樂手,她在人生即將到來的尷尬歲月中,灑脫並盡興地玩味音樂。如同她的同輩Maggie Rogers和Billie Eilish,她散發出摩登世代中每個人都渴求的真實性。她最初來自北維吉尼亞的西山,最近移居至納什維爾以專注追求音樂。Maggie在Stevie Nicks和Ann Wilson等年代樂手的靈魂之聲薰陶下成長,但最近發現90年代頹廢搖滾音樂是靈感的主要來源。她將自己的影響力與震撼且動聽的樂器相互結合,創造出屬於自己的聲音。在Maggie的音樂中,她透過另類的節奏加上流行感性的尖銳歌詞訴說生活中的矛盾,生動描繪了我們不完美的存在。她喧鬧流行的音樂和敏銳的歌詞形成鮮明的對比,是她想要忠實表達人類現況的表現。她解釋說:「我製作音樂的唯一理由是因為,當我周圍沒有其他具意義的事情時,我需要為自己創造一些有意義的事物。」
Maggie不僅會唱歌,還會彈鋼琴、吉他、烏克麗麗、曼陀林、斑鳩琴、貝斯、鍵盤吉他及打鼓。她甚至以天生的慣用左手者轉變至使用右手。












Rubin Henkel
- 作曲家
Rubin在德國科隆出生成長,是德國/加拿大的電影和媒體內容作曲家,父母分別是畫家和攝影師。
他最早從 6 歲開始彈奏鋼琴並成為科隆大教堂合唱團的一員。在團中擔任男高音期間,他對旋律越來越感興趣,於是開始創作自己的鋼琴作品。
他前往科隆的 Jazzhouse School 上課,提升了他即興創作的才能。Ron Cherian教導他如何加強作品結構,並在即興創作過程中讓聽眾保持興趣。
他的作品通常從一個概念開始,並常常在他清晨彈鋼琴時發想。了解故事角色、場景設定或專案的歷史之後,他接著選擇適當的樂器。
Rubin 的作品廣泛應用在紀錄片、短片和廣告。
近期他在柏林愛樂廳和畢勒費爾德的厄特克爾音樂廳與 Martin Herzberg 合奏。
他的首發專輯「Ruhe」中收錄了一些他初期創作的曲子,是他用媽媽舊式小相機、 ipod 和錄音工具錄製的旋律。這些作品後來在柏林錄音室中重新錄製並整合,讓世人得以一窺他的童年時光。













紀錄片
紀錄片講述來自歐洲各地的 6 位新興樂手的旅程,他們齊聚巴塞隆那,在充滿樂器的別墅和錄音室,經歷了獨特的創作體驗,共同合作、創作音樂和表演。
第 1 集: 寫詞和作曲
6 個未曾見面的樂手抵達巴塞隆那的 House of Talents。他們兩人一組,開始在三天內創作歌曲的任務,最後在一場小型音樂會上表演他們的作品。第一集記錄了創作旅程的開端,從樂手互相認識,到開始寫詞和創作旋律。
第 2 集: 錄音室時光
入住 House of Talents 第二天,樂手們有機會在別墅的錄音室,錄製他們創作的樂曲。製作人 Jesus 協助他們優化歌曲的層次、探索新樂器。Yamaha 樂手 Miki Santamaria 更在過程中來訪,提供他們創作上的支援。
Olivia Dean
英國創作樂手 Olivia Dean 不僅擁有深情、磁性的嗓音,也具備驚人的天賦,能夠創作出令人著迷的樂曲。Olivia 創作的理念是,把歌曲視為時間膠囊,能夠帶你回顧生活的種種經歷。
Rubin Henkel
Rubin Henkel 是一位德國/加拿大鋼琴家,也在柏林為電影和媒體作品作曲。Rubin 創作樂曲時,喜歡先為樂曲建立特定的概念。他在 House of Talents 錄製別墅的環境音,並融入歌曲中,充分展現了現場的氛圍。
