用聲音打破那道牆，世界比你想像的還要巨大
2026 全新升級 聲音的海洋 與布農族合唱工作坊
2026年
2月26日到3月2日
南投水里 老五民宿
Singing a song with the males in center and the females surrounding.
‘’在五天四夜的旅程中，我們深入探索「聲音的海洋」‘’
這是馬克對人類在時間和空間中創造的音樂聲音和言語的彙編的等價詞。我們尋找來自世界各地的未知傳統，聆聽過往的經典並嘗試創作我們自己的版本。您還將學習如何自己或與他人一起即興創作一首傳統歌曲（一首催眠曲？一首祈禱曲？一首歡樂的問候歌？）。
如果您已經喜歡唱歌，並且知道自己的聲音有著如此多的色彩。但是只有其中一些色彩在日常生活中表達出來，現在我們要擴展這種創造性和聲音的潛力，一起看見自己聲音的光譜。
加入我們，一同慶祝人類聲音的力量和潛藏在其中的創造力。毫無疑問，您的祖先知道民謠、宗教聖詩、儀式詠唱：讓它們以新的形式再次浮出水面。
在我們探索的起點和亮點上，南投信義鄉明德部落的布農族非常樂意在他們每週的歌唱會上歡迎我們。您將有機會與他們近距離合唱，並從中學習他們創作複音多聲部歌曲的方式，並嘗試與他們一起合唱。這是對這座我們摯愛島嶼的許多美好傳統之一的親身沉浸，是極少數人曾經擁有的獨特機會！
與世界級的泛音詠唱大師 馬克范湯可鄰共渡五天四夜，作為聲音的學習者，這是一個能與全球級的歌唱家全身心的學習的機會，感受彼此細胞的共鳴，沉浸式的教學能讓你快速提昇，並有機會在課餘時間建立與大師的良好交流，全方位的進化，在台灣本地就能做到

布農族被譽為「合唱民族」，其八部合音Pasibutbut被聯合國教科文組織認定為世界音樂瑰寶。明德部落的Lileh合唱團，是全國首個獲文化部指定的「國家級重要傳統藝術保存團體」。8-12位歌者牽手圍圈，以母音共振，創造出布農族人稱為Bisosilin的「美好音響」——傳說這是天神最喜愛的聲音。
布農族是非常會使用複音演唱的民族，而且相信歌就是要一起唱才好聽，我們將學習他們的生活歌謠到慶典歌謠，最後來到神聖歌謠的和諧旅程。

Ocean of Voices
Break the wall with sounds. The world is much wider than you thought.
26 February – 2 March, 2026
Shuili, Nantou, Taiwan
PROGRAM OUTLINE
In five days we dive deep into the Ocean of Sound, we uncover unknown traditions from around the globe, listen to examples and try out our own versions. You also learn how to create a traditional song (A lullaby? An invocation? A cheerful greeting song?) by yourself, or together, on the go. You already love to sing and already know your voice has so many shades. But only some of these shades find expression in everyday life, and now we expand this creative, sonic potential.
Join us for a celebration of the power of the human voice and of creative imagination lurking underneath the surface. Surely your ancestors knew folk songs, religious hymns, ceremonial chants: let them come back to the surface again, in a new guise. At the start and highlight of our exploration, the Bunun from XinYi are so kind to welcome us during their weekly singing session. You will have a chance to sing with them, up-close, and in this way you learn how they create their polyphonic songs and can try to join in with them. A first-hand immersion in one of the many living traditions of this beautiful island and a unique chance very few people have ever had!
