Matthew Lam - In Full Bloom for qudi, erhu & ruan (2020)
In Full Bloom for qudi, erhu & zhongruan (2020)
Premiere:
18 DEC 2021, With New Tunes We Connect Concert, Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra Recital Hall
By Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra
Program notes:
No matter how time changes, flowers always bloom in Spring. The sight of exuberant blossoms on the University campus in Spring inspired the composer to write this piece, in the hope that it will help invigorate the people of Hong Kong to tackle head-on all adversities they may meet in the current global pandemic, and emerge triumphant in the end, like the flowers. Musically, a four-bar melody runs through the entire score, with a lively dynamic 3-3-2 rhythm incorporated in the fast section to depict the vitality of flowers in full bloom. In addition, two distinct pentatonic scales are constantly interspersed to produce a soft yet strong harmony, to represent not only the flowers’ elegance but also portray their vigour.

Matthew Lam - Beyond 88 (2023) Stereo fixed media Program notes: As a pianist and composer, I often wished the piano could produce different timbre more easily. To fulfil my wildest imaginations, I sampled some piano 'playing' on and beyond the 88 keys, and did some very heavy processing, to the point that it is hard to recognise the original sample. The result is this fixed media piece, Beyond...

Thanks so much!
@@matthewlamcomposer my pleasure. It was amazing to listen to. Wish u had more I could hear ❤️
1:16 that is awesome
Thanks Man!
quite delicious...
I understand this is a super dynamic performance, but to better translate that, try bringing the condenser mic much closer to the source and control the louder parts with a compressor.
Bravo! FANTASTICO!!!!
Thank you!
