E Kahe Mālie

荣获2012年第54届格莱美奖最佳流行演奏专辑提名 由格莱美奖得主Daniel Ho所制作的钢琴演奏专辑，有别于大家对Daniel乌克丽丽大师的印象，此张专辑收录了Daniel的钢琴创作 Kū I Ka Manawa Kūpono (Standing Righteous In Time)>、 E Kahe Mālie (Flowing Gently) >、 Take Me Away >、 Crystal Sands >，以及多首传统曲目演奏。Daniel包办了整张专辑的钢琴、贝斯、录音、混音、母带处理，甚至是平面设计。若说演奏乌克丽丽的Daniel像是活泼的大孩子；那演奏钢琴时，就可以感受到Daniel成熟、抒情的那一面。 Daniel Ho说：「制作唱片需要通过无数细微的决定才能完成。音乐如同许多不同形式的艺术创作，是主观的、没有一定的对或错，而经验的累积可以帮助我们学习。《E Kahe Mālie》呈现出我身为作曲家、编曲家、演奏者及录音工程师的经历，我努力地记录如何制作出迷人的音乐，并透过唱片发行分享给大家，感谢在音乐路上一路走来的伙伴，以及各位的支持与陪伴。」 Best Pop Instrumental Album GRAMMY® Nominee (2012) Traditional and original compositions arranged and performed for solo piano by GRAMMY® winning artist, producer and engineer Daniel Ho. Daniel's Notes Creating a musical recording involves a myriad of subtle, almost indiscernible, decisions. Music, like many forms of creative expression, is subjective―there is no right or wrong. Lessons of experience and awareness provide a basis from which to make “sound” judgments . I believe that in order to genuinely realize an artistic vision, it is important to see it through from beginning to end. We start with the choice of a note, then, determine its place in time and duration (composition and arrangement). What instrument should play the note (orchestration)? How should we execute it (performance)―bright or dark (tone), loud or soft (dynamics)? The techniques and equipment used to capture it (recording) further contribute to the quality of the presentation . The final sonic treatments (mixing and mastering) balance and enrich the sound. This ever-evolving process establishes how the music is perceived by listeners. E Kahe Mālie represents my current path as a composer, arranger, performer, and audio engineer. As I strive to deepen my understanding of these intriguing musical concepts and document them in recordings, I thank you for your friendship and company along the way.
