金奖音乐人联名推荐
【音乐中有爱，爱是万物同根，唯爱能突破空间维次，联结宇宙与乡土 】
音乐制作人 林强
【《同根生》将我们心灵深处的土地情感，以中西乐器、诗文和环境音，交融出质地脱俗的音乐诗篇，时而诙谐、时而热情、时而悠远、时而华丽，这张难得一见的优秀专辑，创意无限，绝对值得细细品尝】
丝竹空爵士乐团艺术总监 彭郁雯
【《同根生》是我最期待的乐团，他们来自宜兰，以共同的音乐语言说出对家的乡愁、以及对未来的渴望。绝妙的空间与时间感，使我在聆听『同根生』的音乐时，也想起对那片土地的印象以及爱。】
爵士萨克斯风演奏家 杨晓恩
【极富巧思与地方风情的融合专辑。兰阳平原的好风光，一曲曲地翩然跃于「同根生」的音乐中：《龟山》领着心思飘到了那座孤立小岛的海岸边；《泰雅梦游》彷若耳闻着土地粗旷原始的气息；《墨绿》则吟出了宜兰古都最隽雅的那一面。】
爵士长笛演奏家 张瑛兰
【走进似曾相似的风景，用全然新的视野演绎我们生活曾共同有过的经验和记忆，旋律有时轻盈飞翔，有时低沉安静，是心里的律动，也是大自然里的节奏】

Using “connection” as a central concept, this album is about our origin and inclination. It describes our journey of leaving and returning home, depicting our passion for this land through soundscapes and poetry. In this album, musicians and artists from Yilan fuse Chinse and Western instrumental music with jazz, indie, and urban folk into a unique expression of world music, brewing and storing the smell and ecology of Yilan into “sound poems.” The soundscape journey in natural and cultural landscapes conveys the collective awareness of sharing the same root. In this album, we start from finding local voices, and reach out to resonate with the world.
Recommendations from Golden Melody Awards Winners
“In music, we have love. Love is the root of everything on earth. And only love can transcend spatial dimensions to connect the universe and home.”
- Giong Lim, Music Producer
“Using Chinese and Western musical instruments, poems, and field recordings, A Root transforms the emotional connection to land deeply embedded in our souls into extraordinarily refined sonnets, humorous yet passionate, distant yet splendid. This one-of-a-kind album demonstrates unlimited creativity and is definitely worth your time and attention.”
- Yu-Wen Peng, Art Director of Sizhukong
“Based in Yilan, A Root is an ensemble with great prospects. The members of the ensemble express their nostalgia for home and yearning for the future with a common language of music. When listening to A Root, the superb sense of space and time in their music evokes my impression of love for the land.”
- Shawna Yang, Jazz Saxophonist
“Listening to A Root’s music is like walking into a déjà vu scene and looking at our shared life experiences and memories through a brand new perspective. Their melodies are sometimes light as feathers flying in the wind, yet somber and tranquil at other times—like the beating of the heart, the rhythm of nature.”
