巫術之夜

// 鋼琴才女 江佳蓁 巫術三部曲首部正式發行
// 始於即興的奔放琴音與藝術詩歌

我們所有的行為，都指向宇宙的真相
我們無法真正地被分割
因為存在本身就是一種巫術
如同鋼琴即興，可以瞬間作曲，成為一種巫術
這就是這系列作品誕生的方式：即興

分離是一種假象
所有的開始與結束
雷、山、島嶼、光、海⋯⋯
都在同一個意識生成、燃燒、流動
背後都是宇宙的唯一曲調

專輯和詩歌的三部曲是一張地圖
音樂與文字意思未必一致
但，它們是通往同一個地方的兩種路徑

你，來嗎？

All of our actions
point toward the truth of the universe.
We cannot truly be separated.
For existence itself
is a form of witchcraft.
Just as piano improvisation
can give birth to a composition in an instant,
it too is a kind of witchcraft.
This is how this series of works came into being:
Improvisation.
Improvised piano.
Improvised poetry.
Separation is an illusion.
Every beginning and every ending—
thunder,
mountains,
islands,
light,
the sea...
all arise,
burn,
and flow
within the same consciousness.
Behind them all
is the universe's single melody.
This album-poetry trilogy
is a map.
The music and the words
do not necessarily mean the same thing.
Yet they are two paths
leading to the same place.
Will you come?

專輯藝人介紹

江佳蓁是一位以即興為核心，創作橫跨音樂與文學的藝術家。

她畢業於德國漢諾威音樂戲劇與傳媒大學（Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover, HMTMH）鋼琴系，並獲最高演奏家文憑（Konzertexamen）。其後獲得新英格蘭音樂學院（NEC）與舊金山音樂學院（SFCM）雙獎學金，赴美至 SFCM 深造作曲。

她將鋼琴即興、作曲、詩歌與小說視為同一創造力在不同媒介中的顯現，並將這種創作方法稱為「生命即興」。對她而言，不同藝術形式並非彼此分離，而是在創作過程中相互生成、彼此映照。

她曾於風潮音樂發行八張個人專輯，作品獲全球音樂獎（Global Music Awards）金獎，並多次入選長榮航空機上音樂。自2025年起，受邀擔任柏林史塔克藝術基金會（Stiftung Starke Foundation）駐地藝術家，持續投入音樂、文學與跨領域藝術創作。

Chia-Chen Chiang is a Taiwanese artist whose practice is rooted in improvisation, spanning music and literature.

Trained in Germany, she graduated from the Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover (HMTMH) with the Konzertexamen, the highest performance diploma. She later received scholarships from both the New England Conservatory (NEC) and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music (SFCM), ultimately pursuing advanced studies in composition at SFCM.

Chiang regards piano improvisation, composition, poetry, and fiction as different manifestations of the same creative force expressed through different artistic forms. She describes this creative approach as Life Improvisation. Rather than existing as separate disciplines, these forms continuously shape and illuminate one another throughout her artistic practice.

She has released eight albums with Wind Music, received a Gold Medal from the Global Music Awards, and has been featured multiple times in EVA Air's in-flight music selections. Since 2025, she has been an artist-in-residence at the Stiftung Starke Foundation in Berlin, where she continues to develop new work across music, literature, and interdisciplinary collaboration.


專輯曲目介紹

1. 　雲上芭蕾
　　Ballet Above the Clouds

　　〈雲端〉
　　……
風雲凝固
墜落
成為了大地
古老
傳說

我們腳踩
曾經
流動的風雲
依然
如梭

大地包裹
地球
像一顆心臟
穿著
薄膜

風雲依舊
在內
隱隱地流動
你可
聽過
（節錄）

Above the Clouds
……
Wind and cloud congeal,
fall,
becoming the land—
ancient,
a legend.

Beneath our feet
lie the winds and clouds
that once flowed,
still
swift as a shuttle.

The earth enfolds
the globe
like a heart
clothed
in a fragile membrane.

Yet wind and cloud remain
within,
quietly moving.
Have you
ever heard them?
(Excerpt)

2. 　天雷的獻祭
　　The Sacrifice of Celestial Thunder

〈日出的代價〉
所以我們在
陰影裡跳舞
不停地跳 跳 跳
纖維糾纏於
細胞的深處
迷醉地笑 笑 笑
沒有一片天空
得以擋住
四肢延伸至
古老的歸宿
……
　　（節錄）

The Price of Sunrise

And so we dance
in the shadows,
dance, dance, dance.
Fibers entwine
deep within the cells,
laughing in ecstasy, laugh, laugh, laugh.
No sky
can keep us back.
Our limbs stretch outward
toward an ancient home.
……
(Excerpt)

3. 　生於山巔
　　Born on the Summit

〈山：選自山海歌〉
古人有山海經，今朝作山海歌，與之致敬。
……
面對如此甘甜
抑制不住的慾眼
渴望地凝視山巔
一絲不苟指向天邊

似一把隱者之劍
絲毫不留情面
可包裹它的水雲
唱著民謠軟語繾綣

堅硬與柔軟之間
是大山的莊嚴
和山明媚的愛憐
碰撞出激烈的遇見
（節錄）
Mountain (From Songs of Mountains and Seas)

The ancients had the Classic of Mountains and Seas;
today I offer Songs of Mountains and Seas, in homage.
……
Before such sweetness,
the eye of longing cannot be restrained.
It gazes toward the summit that points
unerringly toward the edge of heaven.

Like a hermit's sword,
it shows no mercy.
Yet the clouds and waters that enfold it
sing folk songs in gentle whispers.

Between hardness and softness
lies the mountain’s dignity,
and its sunlit tenderness,
colliding into a blazing encounter.
(Excerpt)

4. 　島嶼，一切開始的地方
　　The Island: Where It All Begins

I. 島

夜深了，
藍色島嶼上的
鵝卵石城堡
在無垠的黑暗中，
閃閃發光
II. 夜渡
他說他從未見過海，
她說她有一艘小筏
等夜深得不能再深，
可悄至城堡衛城下
待他溜出，帶他夜渡
快意小筏，星雲指路

在那深得 不能再深的夜
看那深得 比夜還深的海
倘若，一艘小筏 可以渡兩人
那，一個夜晚，未嘗不能裝下
一片海
III. 貝殼傳說
……
（節錄）
Island Triptych

I. Island

Night has deepened.
Upon a blue island,
a castle of pebbles
shimmers
in the boundless dark.

II. Night Crossing

He said he had never seen the sea.
She said she had a little raft.
When the night grows deeper than deep
she can quietly drift
beneath the castle walls,
wait for him to slip away,
and carry him across the sea.
A carefree little raft,
with constellations
showing the way.

In a night
deeper than deep,
they behold a sea
deeper than the night.
If one little raft
can carry two people,
then perhaps
one night
can hold
an entire sea.

III. The Legend of the Shell
……
(Excerpt)

5. 　昨日，我們
　　Yesterday, We

〈北 〉
……
我已到了最北
盡頭 就在眼前
一切的生靈
彷彿屬於昨天
今天只剩下
不朽的黑夜
和北極星的愛
使我 無路可退

（節錄）

North
……
I have reached
the farthest North.
The end
lies before my eyes.
All living things
seem to belong
to yesterday.
Today there remain only
the immortal night
and the love
of the Pole Star,
leaving me
no road to retreat.
(Excerpt)

6. 　巫術之夜 —— 森林、湖水、山貓與螢火蟲
　　The Night of Witchcraft — Forest, Lake, Lynx & Fireflies
6.1. 螢火蟲
……
我是，一束小小光
它們成千上萬
聚在一起
可以照亮河岸

據說，雨是水做的
可是那天晚上
我們像是下了
一場星火做的
大雨

一場，不用撐傘的
浪漫
（節錄）

6.1 Fireflies
……
I am
a small light.
They are thousands,
gathered together,
enough
to illuminate the riverbank.

They say
rain is made of water.
But that night,
it felt as though
a great rain
made of starfire
had fallen from the sky.

A romance
that needed
no umbrella.
(Excerpt)
6.2. 鐘
……
（節錄）
6.2. Bell
……
(Excerpt)

7. 　赤色震央 —— 心如紅鳥
　　Red Epicenter — My Heart, a Bird
〈燃燒 Burning〉
……
陽光與樹燃燒
怒放 復活
你讓血液裡的善
灌注燃燒的
陽光與樹
還有大地

你就是 燃燒的樹
你就是 燃燒之陽
你是 煉金術師
你帶著希望與自愛
使一切成為 金色
使一切復甦 成為自己

（節錄）

Burning
……
The sun and the trees are burning,
bursting into bloom,
returning to life.
You let the goodness
within your blood
flow into
the burning sun,
the burning trees,
and the earth itself.

You are the burning tree.
You are the burning sun.
You are the alchemist.
Bearing hope
and self-love,
you turn all things
to gold,
and awaken all things
into themselves.
(Excerpt)
