【人物】 楊聰賢
|作曲家|
楊聰賢,1952年出生於屏東,1977年遠赴美國求學,先後於加州大學聖巴巴拉分校及麻賽諸塞州的布蘭迪斯大學取得碩士及博士學位。楊聰賢在國內樂壇有音樂詩人之稱,他的音樂,冷靜理性中,有著獨特的結構美。而他將中國古典詩詞用以傳達時空的手法,應用轉化至創作中,諸如並置、引用與虛存等手法,也使他的音樂因為呈現模糊、多焦點的美學,而蘊含更多屬於東方文化的特質。2002年獲頒東元科技獎人文類文藝獎,2010年獲頒吳三連音樂類文藝獎。
YANG Tsung-Hsien, born in 1952 in Pingtung, Taiwan, went to study in the USA in 1977 and got his master’s and doctorate degrees from University of California, Santa Barbara, and Brandeis University respectively. Widely known as a poetic musician in Taiwan, YANG’s music features unique structural aesthetics wrapped in calm rationality. Inspired by the artistic expressions of time and space commonly seen in the classical Chinese poetry, YANG’s music reflects similar techniques like juxtaposition, reference, and virtual existence and his works emanate oriental flavors due to their vague and multifocal aesthetics. YANG received Teco Awards of Teco Technology Foundation (Humanities Category) in 2002 and WU San-Lien Awards (Arts Category) in 2010.
