Golden music at Cyberport 金光妙韻數碼港

The Cyberport is located at the Southern District of the Hong Kong island. It is a commercial community established to develop digital technology with partnership of companies and IT developers to meet the demand of the expanding digital age. While visiting the Cyberport, I have enjoyed the "Golden Champion Concert 2012" held at The Arcade.

The concert was a showcase of the music performance with orchestras and choirs which had won prizes in the competition in their touring concerts in Europe. The Arcade where the concert was held has a unique design with the most advanced technology. The building is facing the beautiful bay. The sunset eventually came with the golden light while the concert was in progress, It was, in a nutshell, really a triple enjoyment of music, colors and shapes!

==========================

香港數碼港位於香港島南區，是為發展數碼科技而開發的商業社區，以配合日益猛進的數碼時代。參觀其間，欣賞了一場「金牌匯報音樂會」，是香港的樂團和多個合唱團在歐洲音樂比賽獲獎載譽歸來的音樂會。音樂表演場設計獨特， 數碼設施先進。場地對著美麗的海港，時屆黃昏日落，天降金黃帳縵，可謂集「音(樂)」、「色(彩)」、「形(體)」三合一的享受！

「1418」： 在數碼廊，這是甚麼？1418序曲？1418年？考考你的IQ和想像力！

"Floor above" and "heaven below", not "heaven above" and "floor below"? The glass table has reflected the skylight

「上地」與「下天」，不是「上天」「下地」嗎？眼前的玻璃枱將天窗反射下來。

Go Cyberport? Cyberport, Go? Cyber Port, Go? Go, Cyber port? Cyber p or t...???

數碼港、講數碼、碼講數、數講碼、碼數港、港碼數、港數碼⋯？？？

The squares want to get into the arena of the circles:  our life seems to be a bustle in different shape of circles, angles and squares.   We feel dazzled and not knowing what to do!

方形要走進圓形中：生活如在圓、角、方的形體中打滾，有時會令人目眩，不知所措！

Don't attach yourself to short-term comfort and the beautiful scene upfront.  You only walk out of the two glass doors to be entitled the immediate ownership of the nature, enjoying the fresh air and the panoramic view of the beautiful sea.

不要戀棧一時的舒適和眼前的美景，你祇要走出這兩扇玻璃門，便可以更直接地擁有大自然，享受清新的空氣和一覧無遺的海景。

"Super modern building" in blue sky:  why not gazing at the world from different angles in your dull life?  For sure you will have new discovery and excitement!  The photo was turned 90 degrees to the right to experience a new look.

藍天下的「超現代建築」：在平凡的生活中，不妨嘗試以不同的角度去觀賞世界。你儘會有新的發現和驚喜！這幅照片是向右旋轉了90度，換了一個觀看的角度。

Conductor

指揮

A speaking baton is a media to express music and is a semiconductor between the conductor and the audience.
Nikon D300s, 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 @28mm, f/8.0, 1/60sec, ISO 3200
會說話的指揮棒，是表達音樂的媒介，是連接指揮與樂團的半導體。

Musical hand sign and quiet whisper are good for music expression and human communication.
Nikon D300s, 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 @170mm, f/8.0, 1/20sec, ISO 400
音樂的手語，無聲的說話，有助音樂的表達，人際的溝通。

Give and take are bidirectional: the musician's attentive performance has won the audience concentration in appreciation.
Nikon D300s, 17-55mm f/2.8 @55mm, f/9.0, 1/20sec, ISO 400
施與受是雙向的：樂師的傳神演奏，也贏得觀眾專注的聆聽。

A distinct rampart:  human eyes have the ability in differentiation, such as between audience and musicians through their clothes, positions and instruments.  A blind man can only listen to beautiful music.  Therefore we have to value our instinct and acquired ability!
Nikon D300s, 17-55mm f/2.8 @55mm, f/9.0, 1/20sec, ISO 400
壁壘分明：人的眼睛具有析別的能力，聽眾與樂師的分別，可從衣著，位置和樂器便知一二。盲人衹能享受美妙的音符，所以我們便要珍惜擁有的能力。

Once the motion of the image stops still, no movement, no sound, the world will become dead-silent, dull, dry cool and scary!  Let the music continue non-stop!
Nikon D300s, 17-55mm f/2.8 @17mm, f/3.5, 1/100sec, ISO 250
當畫面停頓了，沒有動作，沒有聲響，世界便會變得死寂、枯燥、乏味、冷漠和可怕！讓音樂繼續，不要停止！

Do you know any one of them?

為我們高歌的，你可有認識的？

The beautiful music came with all these joyful faces, attentive expression and souls of musical inspiration.
Nikon D300s, 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 @112mm, f/5.6, 1/125sec, ISO 1000
美妙歌聲，來自歡樂的面孔，專注的表情和充滿音樂的細胞。

The music just ends and it is time to applaud, to encourage and to cheer!
Nikon D300s, 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 @130mm, f/5.6, 1/100sec, ISO 1000
曲終人未散，是鼓掌、鼓勵、鼓舞的時刻！

航歸晩，郎歸晚！

The golden light drags in secretly. As we cannot stop it nor get rid of it, just let it rest quietly on the floor!

金光偷偷地從罅隙爬進來，攔不來，趕不去，就讓它靜靜地躺著吧!

是兩男三女嗎？
