"Is it just me, or we're all a bit delusional?" — 悬而未决的声音，是一场属于自己的公路电影。— ‘“潜抑（Repression）”指当人的某种观念、情感或衝动无法被超我接受时，下意识将极度痛苦的经验或欲望潜抑到潜意识的行为。’ 冷冽的电子氛围，聚焦了听者的视线 — 被时间掩埋的情绪，凝结停滞的过去，人们的主动性遗忘浮出意识表面。记忆不曾被清空，过去决定现在，现在形塑未来，那是人的宿命与不幸。 曾参与多部学生电影配乐制作，作为一名声音与影像的建筑者，有别于影像先于音乐的配乐历程，这一次，从卧房出发的声音，企图表露人们的遗忘与逃避，直指潜意识里曾经存在的暴力与躁鬱。这一次没有剧情与画面，只有声响与情绪织成的网，面向听者的耳朵，冷冽而真实地犹如漫长的公路电影。 2021/11/26 《Repression》正式上映。 "Is it just me, or we're all a bit delusional?" About the album ‘Repression’ “A road trip from subconscious to the surface mind ” Repression is a defense mechanism that “ensures that what is unacceptable to the conscious mind, and would if recalled arouse anxiety, is prevented from entering into it” As a debut album, Mason Chiang aims to capture the pending, unresolved feeling of the past, digging into the subconscious side of mind. Regrets, anger, anxiety and melancholy, emotions that people tend to hide deep inside, are turned into soundscape constructed with hard-pounding drums and eccentric noises. Influenced by Skee Mask, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Kiasmos, Tim Hecker and various artists, the album is full of dark, distorted synth, chopped drum samples, flickering noises and ambiences. While his works in film scores are usually brighter and more accessible, the debut album shows that Mason Chiang is a versatile composer, who is capable of incorporating IDM, breakbeat, techno, classical music, ambient and noise into soundscapes that are abstract but deeply related to human’s inner mind. People tend to avoid talking about dark, negative emotions, but to him, those wounds won’t be healed until we talk about it. He dedicates himself to exploring the diverse humanity among electronic sounds, creating music that heals himself and the audiences.
