mü-nest x PLOP special collaboration series vol. 1: "Peking Scene" by me:mo.

The beautiful musical works of me:mo has always able to convey a reminiscing feeling…a feeling that arose from those delicate themes about memories of city, about memories of everyday life. me:mo , by using his subtle music sensitivity, and magnificent arrangement skills, musically re-creating all these old and memorable sceneries that ones were once so familiar with, but are now virtually forgotten. These wonderful but vanishing sceneries, and those memories about the good old days, are the main inspirations for me:mo‘s music composition, prompting him to write pieces after pieces of delicate melodies about these precious things in his life. And gradually, and expectedly, they have become indispensable to his soul and creativity. For that, "Peking Scene", is an album written as a gentle elegy specifically dedicated to the gone-but-unforgettable city of Peking, as this exquisite 11-tracks album is full of nostalgic mood that float with remembrance and warm memories of the old days of the city, which still quietly live inside the delicate and beautiful music of me:mo.

在城市生活，你不得不扮演某些角色。
 
你必须是一名合格的参与者，适应节奏并成为节奏的一分子；你必须牢记作为观察者的存在，从纷繁庞杂的线索中找准自己的视角；当表达者的身份无法满足你对这座城市的爱与恨时，你可以后退一步，尝试接纳既有事实。没有哪座城市为你而生，它在变，你也是。
 
但对me:mo而言，发生在北京的变化让人遗憾。他记忆中的北京正在某种无形力量的磨损下迅速消逝，以适应这个国家的期待。当绝大多数人都在享受物质条件的便利时，me:mo似乎不合时宜地站到了另一侧，他开始想念带给他珍贵回忆的过去，那种从容、和气、稳妥的生活。新专辑《Peking Scene》毫不掩饰这种还原“我的京景”的愿望，掉头往回走，又无须走太远，只要重新退回不复有威胁感的尺度，就像曾经相对安全的童年与青春期，惶然中透着秩序，沉默中包含思索。因为彼时人们尚且尊重这样一个事实：重要的不是解释这个世界，而是不解释。
 
一座城市对音乐人来说意味着什么？很多时候它等于创作的全部灵感，无论是与之亲近，试图反抗亦或逃离。它一直在那儿，等待着被恰当而成熟地表达出来。一旦明白了自己要掌控的是什么，更洒脱、更通澈几乎是必然结果，《Peking Scene》便是这种例证。撇开形式和技术，它首先是真诚的，有自知之明的，了解自己想要什么又想传达什么的音乐，其次它才是流露出个人气质的专辑。事实上，me:mo展示的也无非如此，你以为拥有一座城市，实际上你只有守护它的权力，但正是这种守护，让人暂时忘却孤独，让人感到满足，并一次次获得迎击现实的朴实力量。

曾有人指出我們對某人或某事物的措述，可以是一連串負面形象，如「不友善、不健康」。對於我們的城市，我們可以怎樣描述？「這裏以前是如何如何，但現在沒有了。」「不適合散步、不宜騎單車」你希望是這樣子嗎？

顯然me:mo不想這樣。不論他身處的北京，又或我身處的香港，刻下都關注城市保育。其實這也不是甚麼大論述，或是些沒人懂的學問。當我們衝刺了這麼多年，我們有沒有停下腳步，稍為看看為著生活的進步、經濟的發展，這個城市付出了甚麼代價？高樓平地起、指數創新高，但你留得住那寶貴的回憶嗎？你還能嗅到以往街角那熟悉的炊煙味道嗎？
 
當然，我們在宏大的口號之下，是沒甚麼可以做到的。me:mo也明白，所以他用音樂來替我們鞏固記憶，懷緬當下。他知道這種卑微的動作改變不了甚麼，而只要我們因著他那溫潤的電音、挑撥起那還未完全消逝的流動記憶，他已經成功了。是的，我們不是要大張旗鼓地要反發展，反活化。就讓我們用最微少的力量，為我們的記憶築起最後的防線。只要這粒種子不滅而繼續擴散，才會產生改變，人心才會悸動。
 
這條路不好走啊。上一代人不明白、既得利益者不明白、你身邊那些朋友也可能不明白：生活蠻舒適，舊歌也動聽喔，為何浪費精神弄這些？你笑一笑，撥弄著電腦，調好節拍，放好琴音，戴上耳機，繼續「浪費」。最近聽人說要「快樂抗爭」，大概便像me:mo這樣子的了。
