音樂家 Musician：早川徹 Toru Hayakawa 日本 Japan

 

早川徹是出身於日本爵士樂界、極受重視的新生代電貝斯手，他的演奏風格獨具一格，靈動的節奏，是許多亞洲樂人欠缺的。同時，他擅長多樣旋律樂器，也使得他在扮演貝斯手的角色時，不侷限於低音節奏的線條，而能超越樂器的特色，與合作樂人以共同悠游的姿態，貫穿樂曲。

曾擔任台灣客家歌手林生祥<大地書房>和<我庄>專輯電貝斯編曲與演奏，目前為生祥樂隊的一員。

 

本次工作坊有兩天，分別將討論不同的主題：

第一天的主題是基本律動，這對貝斯手或其他樂手都非常重要。課程將會先從基礎開始（像是一小節只彈一個音）然後在律動持續的進行下，慢慢加入更多複雜的元素，並維持基本律動的節奏。

 

同時，課程也將會提到音長的重要性，講者將利用一些著名貝斯旋律示範幾個不同的音長組合，來剖析貝斯旋律的表達與構成，這會讓整個旋律更具音樂性、更有趣。

課程也會談到貝斯的音色，根據不同場景從硬撥式龐克搖滾到手指溫和撥弦，以及放克音樂的勾打貝斯或跳動的低沉音色對整個音樂的影響。

 

第二天的主題是即興。以一段即興來剖析如何從簡單的音階以及幾個音符勾勒雛形，之後再一步步建構更複雜的即興。課程也會解釋一些即興的基本方法，如：反覆旋律，音符間隔改變，切換音階，切換旋律，切換音調（可選擇以一個音符或整個音節切換），倒奏旋律等。同時也會談談如何與其他樂手互動、聆聽並回應的技巧。

 

 

The workshop will separate into two parts since there are two days for this workshop.

One is about basic grooving. This can be important for bass player mainly but for other instrumentalist too.

I will talk about playing something simple (like one note per bar) and keep the simple groove going and gradually add more complexity to it and still maintain the basic grooving.

Also I can cover the importance of note duration, using a famous bass line and show the different combinations of note duration，Which will lead to the topic on the expressions and phrasing a bass line. By adding more flavor or put in more expression to a note can make the line more musical and interesting.

And I can talk about the tone of a bass sound and what it does to the whole musical landscape. From hard picking punk rock type of tone to warm finger-picked sound and funk slapping sound or even more dubby low sound, depending on the situation.

The other topic is about improvisation. This can be for any jazz/improv musicians.

I can first improvise something and tell people what the idea behind it is. Just by using simple scale and pick out few notes to make a small motif and develop and build from that. And show the basic ways to develop, like repeating, making space, change location, change rhythm, change pitch (choose one note or transpose whole phrase), play backward, Also I can talk about reacting to other people's playing and responding which involves listening carefully.
