Unlocked ~ Adrian Tsing in concert

12/12 香港經濟日報～他的專訪

這個星期天，將會與同學仔詩敏欣賞昔日音樂學校的老師 (雖然未曾作過他的學生，但在音樂營上認識他)舉辦的第4個音樂會，以下是他的介紹：

(中文版. Please scroll down for English Version.)

「我希望，這個世界所有人，無論有錢與否，也能夠聽到inspiring，有 quality音樂、音樂會。」因為這個夢，這個信念，獨立音樂唱作人程理高 Unlocked 音樂會，將於12月14至16日，假前進進牛棚藝術村舉行，歡迎所有人進場，費用全免。

程理高，一個廣告音樂人也是一個獨立音樂唱作人，過去曾發表過兩張個人專輯和舉辦過自己的音樂會。直至 4個多月前，他發現了自己有一個夢想，一個原來由大學時期已開始發的夢。「我夢想，我可以有免費的音樂會，免費的專輯。只要任何人願意來願意聽，無論你是富有或貧窮，也可以聽到我的音樂。」

他的音樂，可以免費，但製作費卻是必需的。於是，他開了一個Blog，開了一個非牟利的戶口，並在網上呼籲，如果有人相信這個夢，樂意跟他尋夢，可以捐錢，待 CD完成後，即使有否捐錢，也可以免費送贈所有知音人。結果，他成功了。第二步，就是舉辦這個音樂會。

音樂充滿力量，理應是雅俗共賞，既然有質素的音樂，可以免費，音樂會，一樣也可以是免費的。他一反傳統觀念，以 “Unlocked” 為是次音樂會的主題，目的是要真正釋放音樂的力量。
當然，舉辦音樂會是需要資金的。他今次所需的資金是 $80,000，比專輯多出近 9倍，那是因為除了租用音響和場地的費用外，他找來幫忙的，全都是專業音樂人、設計師和製作人。所籌集得的金額，雖暫未達標，但他仍然努力，仍然堅持，相信夢想。

(English Version)

“I hope everyone in this world can enjoy inspiring and high quality music and concert,” indie singer-songwriter Adrian Tsing says. His dream has inspired him to hold his Unlocked concert at the Cattle Depot from December 14 to 16. Everyone is welcome. It is FREE.

Adrian is currently an advertising musician as well. He released two albums and held two concerts previously. His ultimate dream, which he first had while studying in university, returned to him four months ago. “I had dreams where I could hold concerts that anybody could come and listen to. It doesn't matter if you can afford it or not, you can come if you wish to. You don't have to worry about money, all you need to have is the desire to come and enjoy the music.”

Adrian’s music is free but the production is not. Therefore, he put his dream into action by releasing his third album in a special way. He started a weblog and opened a bank account. Then, he spread the message on the internet. People who are interested in listening to his music are welcome to put money in his bank account. You can put $1, or $1,000, or any other amount you prefer. After he collected enough money, he started making the CDs. Regardless of the size of their contribution, you could pick up a copy of the CD just because he would like to have it. It is totally free.

With this dream being turned into reality successfully, Adrian is using the same concept for his Unlocked concert. The concert title “Unlocked” bears the idea of releasing the power of music in a non-traditional way.

The production cost involved for this concert amounted to $80,000, a whopping nine times more than the production of his album. In addition to the venue and sound system rental fees, Adrian has invited professional musicians, designers, and production crew. He firmly believes in his dream and is confident he will achieve his goal in future.

請花一點時間讓我說多一點。

我將會成立一個組織/機構/基金(暫時叫做組織吧)，名叫M.I.F.F.

Music is Free Foundation.

這個組織，將會去到全世界。

夢想的初型是這樣的:這個夢想會有三個大方向:

1)M.I.A. Musicians in Action我將會在全世界尋找很多教音樂/玩音樂的人，包括我自己，無論我們身在哪裡，無論玩甚麼樂器，做甚麼類型的音樂，也會邀請他們在自己身處的國家，或去世界不同的角落教音樂，idea就好像無國界醫生，但工作不是醫人，而是去教一些沒有機會學到音樂的任何人，沒有經濟能力去學音樂的人，跟他們一起分享音樂，分享音樂的知識。讓每一個想學音樂的人都有機會免費接觸到。

2)Play With No PrejudiceConcert/音樂會是一個令觀眾感受音樂更多，更深更直接的表演形式。表演者很直接的向觀眾溝通，表達喜怒哀樂。而觀眾也可以跟表演者有直接的表達。但，事實上不是每一個人都能夠有機會去看音樂會。所以，我將會尋找一些有興趣的表演者(不管出名或不知名,不管在哪一個國家，也包括我自己)去世界任何一個地方表演。可能是中國的山區地方，可能是蘇聯偏遠的孤兒院，可能是在印度的愛滋病人，希望任何人也能夠去看，去感受音樂會，不管觀看的人能夠付擔與否，只想觀眾能夠感受，享受，and have a good time。

3) Let Music be Heard就像我之前的專輯Re-born一樣，任何想要的人也能夠免費擁有。

這個夢想其實真的很簡單，並沒有很多複雜的背後動機，就是讓任何音樂也可以跟任何人碰到。

Is this crazy or too big? 可能會是的。但我經常這樣想，我應該都只可以在這個世界裡活一次，既然度，同好可能只係得一次機會，點解唔用盡自己，點解唔發最大最瘋狂的夢呢？

哈哈！對啊，M.I.F.F.將會需要更多的資金，更多的人參與。但願我可以用盡辦法去令你們相信我不是將錢放入自己袋，之前沒有，之後也不會。但我怎樣講，怎樣解釋，也一定會有人選擇不相信。所以，it's okay。

其實這個夢想truly可以成真的。只要我們want it bad enough。

Again, I wait for this "big dream" to come true, patiently.
