Does technology help us in such a hectic city or is it a trap?
In this piece, you would understand and reflect on the impacts of automation.
Higitalisation is divided into 5 sections, with electronic music, video and an acoustic cello.
Travel: Tunnel. Entering into the modern world. The motif could be heard and with variations through the rest of the sections.
Urban: CBD, crowded streets, unexpected free motifs represents the hustle and bustle, the slow cello represents the hope of relaxation. 1st Retrograde could be heard here.
Walk: Temple. Try to relax. The motif extends and tries to intimate the bells in the temple. Another slow-paced solo cello is added before the retrograde.
Road: Highway. Back to work. The cello plays the sound effects of a Windows 10 Laptop, with the Internet connection noise in the 90s inserted. There is a heavy delay at the built-up crescendo at the end of this section.
Night: 2am street. A coda of the “Walk” section. The shutdown effect represents one’s tiredness.
With eclectic and lively music, Cody Fung Cheuk Wun has not only explored modern musical styles, but also experimented with new genres, creating the most pleasurable experience for listeners. From classical to contemporary, he strives to compose, arrange and perform. The keyboard player has surpassed his prior efforts with his latest compositions: “Higitalisation”, a fusion of electronic music and an acoustic cello, as well as the award-winning piece: “A Twist in Time”. Both projects are inspired by fantasies and the modern world, and aim to revive one’s childhood and the desire to enjoy music.
