陳以德— 《遠望》

Yi-De Chen— Lights from There

  當人們意識到宇宙是如此浩瀚且蘊藏著無限可能性時，常會心生敬畏之情。於是，很自然地便會開始從不同角度進行觀察與探索，試圖建構邏輯並歸納原則，以便能進一步理解。在宇宙中，人們目前能觀測到之可見光與不可見光，皆來自遙遠的星系或未知物質，這些來自遙遠的光，成為一系列的指引，觸發人們持續對宇宙進行探索與研究，更因此讓人們意識到宇宙比以往所估算的還要再更為遼闊。關於宇宙或光的思考。也常為哲學、宗教與藝術所關注的議題。筆者對於宇宙與光的議題亦十分感興趣，使此種對於光的感受與聯想成為這首樂曲的靈感來源。

When human beings realize how vast and diverse the real world is and its infinite possibilities present, they may feel amazed. Also, figuring out how tiny one is and how short one's life is compared with the universe, people may become astounded—seeking principles, making logic, and constructing a conception system is what philosophy, religion, and art focus on. Even though what I explained above is not persuasive enough for most people to believe, I should claim that while figuring out how and where the lights come from, I feel respectful and humble while facing the universe because, from scientific research and studies, it is evident that both visible and invisible lights coming from outer space are generated by giant stars and unknown resources. This conveys many mysterious messages to humanity: these messages lead people to explore and seek the truth of the universe's nature. This means the light will undoubtedly provide the crucial direction for people and further inspire them with righteous thoughts. This conception galvanized my motivation to write this work to depict and express my experience of being touched.
