This part is the first part of the official show that begins after the performance in the corridor. Because there are no lines in this section, the design of the music should include not only the depiction of the background, but also the content related to the protagonist’s moving line, so I chose to use an instrument to represent the protagonist – bamboo flute.
The soft and soothing piano playing column chords and breakdown chords serve as background depictions, easing the audience’s thoughts into the overall storytelling environment, while a bamboo flute solo appears as the main character’s moving line. At the same time, the bamboo flute solo has been given some acoustic treatment to match the movement of the actors and the live performance of the bamboo flute.
The possibility of including a live bamboo flute in the formal performance is also being considered, with two main influencing factors being taken into account: the integration of the live instrument into the overall acoustics of the ambient sound and the possibility of borrowing and setting up a microphone for instruments.
We have tried the possibility of using the microphones in the classroom for live performance amplification, which seems feasible initially, but we need to take into account the setup of the live sound system, and will need to make further attempts in the subsequent official rehearsals.
