about

一聽「地獄」兩字,就知絕不是理想的郊遊地方。但是我們想邀大家去地獄到此一遊,地獄之火可以燒得宏大,曼珠沙華可以開得美麗。新歌《Where The F Is Satan》就是我們對地獄的想像之歌,即使面對牛鬼蛇神、熔岩烈火,都想尋找撒旦,解答心中的困惑。

Buckle up. We are taking you on a journey through Hell.

Though Hell never sounds like a perfect picnic spot, it could be mesmerically alluring as the hellfire is set ablaze, or when Manjushage, the flowers of death, blossom all over the inferno. Hence, our new single ‘Where The F Is Satan (WTFIS)’ envisions the scenery of Hell – as seekers of Satan in the hope of resolving our questions, even if there are demons, spirits and magma in our way.

為何要尋找撒旦?而不是尋找救世主?沒有壞人,又何來好人,好壞兩者,或是撒旦和上帝,是有對比才成立還是你死我亡?我們以創作展開這種二元對立的繆想,以一個人尋找撒旦為開始,發問尋找神/鬼的意義。

Why seek Satan and not God? This question leads to an inner debate deriving even more questions: Is goodness conceivable only with the presence of evil? If so, are ‘good’ and ‘evil’, or correspondingly ‘God’ and ‘Satan’, binary opposites or relative perception of each other? Head full of these thoughts, we created this music piece to look into the purpose of seeking deities and spirits by illustrating a man’s quest for Satan.

「和宇宙幽靈合作,是一次很刺激的經驗,他們讓我任性地改動和重新演繹他們原先設定好的故事。」——黎達達榮。

‘The collaboration with Uchu Yurei was a fascinating experience. They gave me the freedom to modify and reinterpret their original story as I wanted.’- Lai Tat Tat Wing

香港獨立樂隊宇宙幽靈與漫畫家黎達達榮聯乘一同創作!觀眾聽歌之餘,還能看到黎達達榮的漫畫作品——體驗音樂和藝術的結合。黎達達榮以宇宙幽靈新作《Where The F Is Satan》作為靈感,創作一個沒有刑具、獄卒的地獄世界。地獄一定是痛苦的嗎?不,生前邪惡至極的靈魂在地獄裡開派對,似是找到同道中人一樣,分享著各種慾望和折磨人類的想法。但這個時候,一個由天堂跌落的天使打破了這詭異的美好,展開一場奇堀的地獄之旅。黎達達榮以全新、奇想的視角為我們帶來地獄世界的美妙之處,將讀者、聽眾帶入刺激視覺和聽覺的奇幻旅程,呈現一個別開生面、直視人類潛藏的慾望世界。

Here comes the crossover of Hong Kong-based indie band Uchu Yurei and comic artist Lai Tat Tat Wing! By combining comics with songs, we can enjoy the chemistry between music and visual arts . Lai was inspired by Uchu Yurei’s new single ‘WTFIS’ to create an infernal world without sufferings, torture and even hell warders. Contrary to its typical depiction, evil souls here are exempted from agonizing punishment despite their wrongdoings during their lifetime, all they do is party with their own kind to share various desires and tormenting thoughts. However, this bizarre party is interrupted as a fallen angel barges in and begin their strange adventure through Hell. Lai visualizes the beauty of Hell from a unique and fantastical perspective, in which audiences and readers could indulge in the unusual journey of audio and visual stimulation that digs into humans’ deepest desires.

純音樂的市場一直不是主流,而這次的跨界創作是希望為純音樂世界注入新的刺激,也是實驗藝術和音樂的結合,嘗試讓更多的人接觸我們做的音樂。不得不承認創作與麵包難以平衡,我們就如難以跟上步伐的孤鳥,但是仍相信飛行是唯一而重要的使命。我們相信大眾有選擇、有能力去孕育本地各種音樂的可能性,所以這次我們希望以「Kickstarter」的形式去邀請你跳入這場純音樂的生產實驗,將純音樂的路推進一小步。

Instrumental music rarely appeals to the mainstream market. In view of this, we launched the crossover project trying to spice up the instrumental music scene and to explore the combination of music with other art forms, as well as reaching out to a wider audience. Admittedly, we, as instrumental artists, can hardly strike a balance between producing music and making a living out of it. We feel like a lone bird failing to keep pace with the flock and falling behind, yet all we can do is keep on flying as if that is our only meaningful thing to do. We always believe that local audiences have the choice, and are capable of nurturing potential music talents of various genres. Therefore, we are inviting you to be part of our instrumental music experiment which aims at enhancing the instrumental music scene little by little. Hop on the ride now!
