安哲逸－簡介

安哲逸 Andy，瑞士人，華語音樂創作歌手。6歲開始學習結他，從此愛上音樂，並奠定長大後一定要做歌手的志向。18歲的時候以”Always Meet Twice”的名義在瑞士發佈了屬於自己的第一首原創歌曲，其後亦陸續在網路上發佈過兩張個人英語專輯，並堅持創作原創音樂至今。從小喜愛亞州文化的他，在十年前第一次接觸華語音樂以後便深深愛上，決心要學習研讀中文和創作華語流行音樂。

於小村落的慢活節奏中成長，2016年，為了奔赴夢想，安哲逸移居香港，沈浸在滿佈霓虹燈的繁華大都會中找尋音樂靈感。瑞士長大的他，深受西方音樂影響，特別是 Techno 和 House 等流派的節奏概念。對華語音樂有濃厚的興趣，從而渴望將中西的音樂文化融合在一起。偏愛將電子音樂結合流行元素制作流行音樂。他的音樂時而帶著一種乾淨感，又時而充滿充滿活力和節奏感，使人很容易融入他建造的音樂世界中。

同時，他也愛到處紀錄任何聲音以歌曲創作之用，走到哪裡錄到哪裡，是個不折不扣的「聲音回收師」。他花費大量時間探索他周圍的聲音世界，並持續試驗聲音特性。敲打兩個勺子發出的聲音、將硬幣或豆子扔到不同表面上的聲音、弄碎幹燥的樹葉、弄皺紙張的表面、海浪拍打沙子的聲音，這些聲音都記錄在歌曲中，用作音符將這些自錄的聲音回憶嵌入音樂中，當作時間和空間的記錄，他把自己的這種音樂風格稱為「客廳音樂」。這些聲音很微妙，會令人有某種特定的親切感、氛圍感，能帶動情緒和感覺。這些元素有意識或無意識地為歌曲的整體聲音特征賦予了一種原始感。將這些非常規的音源放入 3-4 分鐘的流行歌曲背景中，在現有的世界和數字世界之間產生聲音和諧。這種音樂創作模式已成為他的使命以及對於聲音和創作的追求、理想。他於小型家用音樂工作室中創作、制作、錄音和混音，僅使用有限的設備將他的音樂夢想實現。

音樂是他的語言，是他的記事本，也是他與世界接洽的橋樑，期望他寫的故事和原創音樂能在不同的舞台上讓更多人聽到。

Andy Schaub - About

Swiss singer-songwriter who makes Chinese Pop music. Finds inspiration from his music somewhere between the slow-paced countryside life of a small village in Switzerland and the big cities in Asia. Swimming in Chinese culture and set on a journey to recycle sounds captured in daily life to combine them with electronic and Pop music. Wrapped in a layer of living-room vibe, his musical creation makes cultures merge, so as the digital and the organic world. He enjoys and experiences music as experiences life.

Music is his diary. Songs are mostly written, composed, produced, arranged and mixed in his tiny home-studio. He always wants to put his imaginary musical world into the reality and try to draw people in. Carrying a background from a small village in Switzerland and make a living with his music as an outsider in Asia, there is a lot to express. Music is the only bridge and reliance that he communicates with the surrounding. He spends a vast amount of time exploring and recording sound from daily life to put into his music. Since the creation of his music happens all between his own four walls at home, Andy likes to call his music style “Living-Room Music”. As it comes closest to describing the intimacy, atmosphere and mood of his production marked by the rawness of the overall sound character. He believes it is not the language of the music that matters, it is the music itself that connects people, not only the language. So, may the music speak for him.
