“In the containment or reference of memory and emotion that can ground us when we are adrift.”
I CARE IF YOU LISTEN, on Earthing

《安土》簡介
"Earthing” Introduction

2012年夏,詞作家鍾永豐參訪位於員林的敦仁醫院時,現場實況與刻板印象的對比,令他認知困頓。沒有鐵窗,沒有異味與令人緊張的聲音,病友一派閒適;這真是精神醫院嗎?永豐想起他的農村經驗裡那些性格鮮明、悠遊活動的思覺失調症患者。他們被稱為「仙人」,或因村民被農事與家務層層綁縛,崇羨兼自嘲油然而生。他們自由參與村裡各種儀式,村民則在默契中體現尊重。記憶與現場對話,永豐意識到兩者的珍貴。病友生活如常人,需要多麼體貼的理解與精細的照護,以及人之為人的堅持啊!敬意冉昇,永豐決定將甫完成的歌《仙人遊庄》獻予創辦人胡延忠醫師。

疫情攀峰,2020年6月21日,天上有日環食,永豐偕作曲家張玹拜會胡醫師,學習敦仁醫院如何以病友為中心,通過每日清早的省思、檢討,完善由內而外的支持系統,以輔助發病者恢復自我照顧能力,適應症狀的影響。胡醫師更努力讓此系統擴及設計與藝術創作,以豐富病友的生命經驗。若為病友創作音樂,胡醫師倡示,可引他們再訪童年、懷想舊情。張玹進而設想,新創的音樂可替代原本的廣播與鈴聲,陪病友起床、用餐、運動、領藥、小睡,及至晚上伴隨入眠。胡醫師慷慨委託之下,張玹先是創作了2、30首鄉愁濃重的民謠、兒歌以及具老歌韻味的旋律,再自我采風,根據每首的音樂特性,以相合的手法重新創作,形成風格迥異的古典當代音樂。張玹旨在建立與病友的記憶聯繫,搭建通往過去的橋樑。

受委託之初張玹經歷了瘮人的恐慌症發作,導致嚴重的自律神經失調,創作過程於他恰是一段自省、自癒和自知的旅程。專輯中的《如歌的行版》、《道別 I》、《道別 II》、《又是美好的一天》和《床上的劇場》等諸曲,不惟是張玹譜寫予第一排聽眾—敦仁病友,亦紀錄自我的持續內在對話與身心重建,遂悟敦仁醫院何以易經「安土敦乎仁」自期,故得專輯名。

《安土》獲2025傳藝金曲獎四巷提名,包括「最佳專輯」、「最佳製作人」、「最佳演奏」以及「最佳錄音」,最終獲「最佳錄音獎」。

In the summer of 2012, lyricist Yung-Feng Chung visited Dun Ren Hospital in Yuanlin. The contrast between the live scene and his stereotyped impressions left him perplexed. There were no iron bars, strange smells, or nerve-wracking noises; the patients seemed at ease. Was this a psychiatric hospital? Chung recalled the vivid personalities and free-spirited activities of schizophrenia patients from his rural experiences. They were known as “immortals,” perhaps due to villagers being bound by layers of farming and household tasks, which led to admiration and self-mockery. They freely participated in various village rituals, while villagers showed respect through unspoken understanding. Reflecting on memories and the live scene, Yung-Feng realized the preciousness of both. Patients’ lives are like those of ordinary people, requiring profound understanding, meticulous care, and the persistence of human nature! With immense admiration, Yung-Feng decided to dedicate his newly completed song “Immortals Wander the Village” to the hospital’s founder, Dr. Hu.

Amidst the pandemic peak on June 21, 2020, during a solar eclipse, Yung-Feng and composer Shiuan Chang visited Dr. Hu to learn how Dun Ren Hospital centers around patients, refining an internal support system through daily morning reflections and reviews. This assists patients in restoring self-care abilities and adapting to symptoms’ impact. Dr. Hu has further extended this system into design and artistic creation, enriching patients’ life experiences. For composing music for patients, Dr. Hu suggested evoking childhood memories and reminiscing about the past. Shiuan envisioned creating new music to replace radios and alarms, accompanying patients from waking to sleeping. Under Dr. Hu’s generous commission, Shiuan initially composed 20 to 30 nostalgic folk songs, nursery rhymes, and melodic tunes, which he then refined according to each music’s characteristics, resulting in a distinct blend of classical and contemporary styles. Shiuan aimed to establish a memory link with patients, building a bridge to the past.

At the outset of his commission, Shiuan experienced panic attacks, resulting in severe autonomic nervous system disorders. The creative process became a journey of introspection, healing, and self-awareness. Songs like “Andante Cantabile,” “Farewell,” “Farewell; Adieu,” “One More Good Day,” and “Theater on The BEDs” not only served as compositions for Dun Ren patients but also documented his ongoing internal dialogue and physical and mental reconstruction. Understanding why Dun Ren Hospital adheres to the principle of “settling the earth and being humane,” the album received its title.

The album received four nominations at the 2025 Golden Melody Awards for Traditional Arts, including Best Album, Best Producer, Best Performance, and Best Recording, and ultimately won the award for Best Recording.

與吳季璁的藝術合作
Artistic Collaboration with Chi-Tsung Wu

吳季璁受張玹之邀,第一次在錄音室聽到《安土》的完整呈現,他驚艷於每個轉折中所轉化的多元視角,而樂音中所揭示當代精神樣貌與現代生活的心理狀態敘述,也讓吳季璁期待透過專輯的視覺藝術設計,再闡述他在樂曲中所感所受。

自稱「從沒想過最終的呈現會是現在的樣子」,吳季璁透過在他藝術創作時熟悉的「撕」與「揉」動作,作為敘述《安土》的視角,他在摺頁中模擬面對生活的波折與重重考驗,以「視覺化」文字排序敘述探索生命中的未知。

作為專輯的「門面」,吳季璁的設計,將聆聽者閱讀與理解的動態過程,作為聆聽前的「沈浸式」導聆,並在傳統認知的「包裝」功能性中,再附加藝術意義—以本質上的顛覆,使原本「保護」的載體轉化為理解創作的媒介,更與《安土》創造互補,吳季璁以此解構過程,重新理解創作的初衷,也向《安土》的初衷致意。

Chi-Tsung Wu, at the invitation of Shiuan Chang, experienced the full presentation of "Earthing" for the first time in the recording studio. He was captivated by the myriad perspectives unfolding at every turn, as well as by the depiction of contemporary ethos and the psychological landscape of modern life woven into the music. This left Chi-Tsung eagerly anticipating delving deeper into his emotional and experiential connection with the music through the visual artistry of the album.

Expressing his surprise, Chi-Tsung remarked, "I never imagined the final presentation would unfold as it does now." Through the familiar acts of "tearing" and "kneading" in his artistic process, Chi-Tsung embodies the narrative perspective of "Earthing." He metaphorically navigates life's twists and turns and confronts its myriad challenges within the folded pages, utilizing a "visualized" textual arrangement to delve into life's mysteries.

In the role of the album's "facade," Chi-Tsung's design encapsulates the dynamic journey of listeners' interpretation and comprehension, serving as an "immersive" prelude to listening. It infuses traditional packaging functionality with artistic depth, fundamentally reshaping it from a mere shield into a conduit for understanding the creative process. In harmony with the essence of "Earthing," Chi-Tsung dismantles this process to rekindle the original intent of creation and pays homage to the essence of the album.

魏靖儀
William Wei

魏靖儀為新生代備受國際矚目的臺灣小提琴家,2015年摘下伊莉莎白女王國際音樂大賽桂冠殊榮。擁有天然靈動的音樂性、游刃有餘的演奏技巧、真摯細膩的情感與哲思,散發著光芒四溢的音樂爆發力,西德日報的讚賞「具有極其細微的音樂顏色變化。」目前使用由奇美基金會贊助提供的1722年史特拉底瓦里「姚阿幸—艾爾曼」名琴。

此琴曾為浪漫時期匈牙利小提琴家姚阿幸擁有;1907年後由俄籍小提琴家艾爾曼廣泛使用此琴巡迴演奏長達41年。至此,名琴被冠以兩位大師之名諱-「姚阿幸-艾爾曼」,令人深刻感受到名琴所肩負的歷史傳承之使命。此琴製作時,史特拉底瓦里正處於手藝爐火純青的成熟盛期,積極地在提琴外貌與弧度作細部修正,造形上更為堅實強壯。

“Mr. Wei … proved to be a virtuoso, but a special and sensitive interpreter at the same time."
