King of Ghosts- The Power of Music
《鬼樂神功》 - 音樂的力量

Date: 17/11 (Thu)
Time: 18:45 – 20:15
Venue: Studio 303, CYM Cultural Centre 
Language: English
Speaker: Mr. Soumik Datta (Composer, virtuoso Sarod player)

蘇密克.德達自幼學習印度古老樂器薩羅德琴,一種柚木琴身、羊皮琴腹,配以十九條弦線、不置琴品的獨特彈撥樂器。多年來德達以琴會友,不獨在印度尋找日漸被邊緣化的音樂傳統,更積極與來自不同文化背景的音樂家對話。在這個講座中,德達將邊講邊彈,為你娓娓道來他如何透過《鬼樂神功》的合作找到音樂的無邊力量。


Soumik Datta learned from a young age to play the ancient Indian sarod, a rare instrument made of mahogany and sheepskin and features 19 strings stretched over a fretless metal fingerboard. Over the years, Datta has been meeting new friends through the sarod. Not only does he search out a musical heritage gradually being marginalised in India, he also actively engages in dialogue with musicians from diverse cultural backgrounds. In this demo-talk, Datta plays the sarod as he shares how he discovers the limitless power of music through the collaboration in King of Ghosts.
