LINION 出現那一刻，厭世的時代結束了 • 我們再次找回音樂裡的快樂，以及人類與生俱來的 Groove 本能 • 製／詞／曲／編／唱／彈／錄一手包辦 • 奇清唱片公司 2018 年終壓軸 • 新靈魂樂模範生 LINION • 首張個人全創作專輯《Me In Dat Blue》 • 給耳朵最自由的湛藍 • -- • 上學是為了文憑，工作是為了退休，活著是無可奈何。 • 寄望一個摸不著的將來，大笑是怕眼淚滴下來。 • 那傷心太深沉，取名叫厭世。 • LINION 說： • 「其實我們可以快樂。」 • 「其實我們可以有快樂的歌。」 • 「其實我們可以隨著快樂的歌快樂地動起來。」 • 黑人音樂裡最 Smooth Groove 的 Neo-Soul（新靈魂樂）， • 是他希望所有人找到的答案。 • 21 歲的 LINION 乍看之下跟一般台灣年輕大男孩沒什麼兩樣，除了他眼裡透露出對於音樂的極度追求、以及紮實的自信之外。在近年一波 R B 復甦的浪潮中，LINION 以身兼硬底子貝斯手與 Beatmaker 的雙重身份成為同輩中的異數，懷舊與創新在他身上巧妙融合，Band Sound 與嘻哈 808 鼓機疊合出讓人自由泅泳的節奏海洋。 • • LIN 是他的姓氏，-ION 代表組成他的離子，LINION 這個名字是向世界發出的堅定宣言。小六開始在台灣學樂器的他，很自然玩的都是搖滾樂，直到 18 歲踏進美國 MI 音樂學院打開眼界，發現原來要做一直喜愛的黑人音樂並非遙不可及。為了一口氣提升實力，LINION 每天早上 6 點半起床，在學校琴房一直練習到晚上 10 點才回家休息，這個習慣一直延續至今。在別人忙著外出跑趴玩樂的時候，他專注累積各種音樂技能，向 Earth, Wind Fire 鍵盤手學和弦，向 Moonchild 鼓手學做 Beat，一步步接近自己心中理想的音樂世界。 • 在 MI 留學那段時間裡，LINION 遇見三名志同道合的台灣學生，師法偶像 Robert Glasper，一起組了樂團「SOME」。在創作幾首歌之後，他們相信這個樂團能真正實現屬於台灣音樂人的新靈魂樂，約好回台灣要一起努力。然而突如其來的命運讓人措手不及──就在 LINION 回國的同時，擔任樂團核心的吉他手意外身亡，留下的三缺一再也無法往前進。在茫然無助之際，剩下的兩名團員鼓勵 LINION：「你不是會做 Beat 嗎？如果是你的話，一個人一定也能辦到的！」於是，身為 SOME 貝斯手的他停留在過去，全才音樂人 LINION 卻誕生了。 • • 〈Stay There〉 • 做為專輯的前導曲，〈Stay There〉具有絕對的宣示意義。在做完主要的五首歌之後，LINION 以效法 J Dilla 的 Beatmaker 的概念，同時取樣了黑人音樂兩大巨擘──George Duke 的鍵盤與 Miles Davis 的說話聲，完成這經典感十足的 1 分 47 秒鐘。藉由這首歌，LINION 要邀請所有人來感受音樂中渾然天成的律動，你的耳朵從此刻開始「Stay There」，再也離不開。 • • At first glance, the 21-year-old Taiwan R B rising star LINION is no different from any average Asian young boy, except for his eyes showing extreme dedication to his pursuit of music, and a glow of solid self-confidence. In the recent waves of Asian R B/Soul brought on by artists from Korea and Japan, LINION stands out unique with his solid background as a bassist as well as a beatmaker. His combination of the retro and the neo transforms and leads listeners to freely float through an ocean of beats. • LINION, the name he uses to present himself to the world, is a combination of his surname, Lin, and the word ion, the very building blocks of his physical composition. He started his musical journey in the sixth grade and entered the prestigious Musicians Institute (MI) at age 18, determined to create the next generation of Asian soul music. To achieve this goal, LINION starts his day practicing in the school piano room from 6:30 in the morning, and works till 10 o'clock in the evening. He has kept up with this routine to this day. While his peers were busy partying, he focused his energy on accumulating a variety of musical skills. He studied chords from keyboard player Henry 'Soleh' Brewer (Earth, Wind Fire), and beats from drummer Efa Etoroma Jr. (Moonchild), all taking him a step closer to reaching his ideal world of music. • During his time at MI, he met three like-minded students from Taiwan. Following the footsteps of their idol, the iconic jazz pianist Robert Glasper, the four formed the band SOME. Unfortunately, the strike of fate halted the band's plan to return to and start their career in Taiwan. The sudden and unexpected death of their guitarist had put a stop to everything. Amidst grief and helplessness, the remaining two members encouraged LINION to carry on their musical dreams and continue on as a solo artist. • Stay There • Inspired by J Dilla's revolutionary beat-making style, LINION sampled sounds from two masters: George Duke's keyboard and Miles Davis' voice. This song is an invitation by which he asks everyone to Stay There and to feel the joy in his rhythms. • • 文字 Text：Brien John • 英文翻譯 English Translation：Don Tung • • 作曲 Composer：LINION • 製作人 Producer：LINION • 編曲 Music Arrangement： LINION • 錄音師 Recording Engineer : LINION • Re-amp 錄音師 Recording Engineer : 歐冠 Jeff OU • Re-amp 錄音室 Recording Studio：玩痛研究室 Play Tone Lab • 混音師 Mixing Engineer：林子彧 Tsu Yu Lin • 封面攝影 Photographer: 陳藝堂 Etang Chen • 平面設計 Graphic Design: 陳潁 Chen Yinn • • Releases on DEC 24, 2018 • (Cassette + Digital) • Artist Links: • / linionlinion • 🎧Spotify • https://spoti.fi/2rSLZso • 🍎Apple Music • https://apple.co/2Tad463 • 🎤KKBOX • https://kkbox.fm/0a3ZU4 • 🍤蝦米音樂 • https://bit.ly/2s0Tg9L • 📼購買實體錄音帶專輯 Buy Cassettes: • 🦐蝦皮賣場： • https://bit.ly/2QLNHdU • 🦄Bandcamp • https://bit.ly/2rQdGCd • 👉CC Official Site • https://bit.ly/2Sd0ouZ • ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • Follow us • Bandcamp: https://chi-chingrecords.bandcamp.com/ • Instagram: / chiching.re. . • Soundcloud: / chichingrecords • Facebook: / chichingreco. . • Email: [email protected]
