ALEXMALISM - 藍

詞、曲、編、監、唱:Alex Yiu@MMSP

Director of MV: Herman Ma



Azure (藍) (2023)

Azure (2023) is a multi-sensory project that expands Yiu’s exploration of synesthesia by synthesizing sound, moving image, and olfaction. Created in collaboration with director Herman Ma and the artisanal fragrance brand BLACK FADES, the work offers a moment of somatic grounding following the intense existential friction of the ALEXMALISM(2022) era.

Sonically, the piece departs from abrasive club rhythms, adopting an ethereal, electro-acoustic dream-pop framework. The introspective lyrics navigate feelings of alienation and existential drift, searching for solace within the permanence of natural phenomena—the sky, the sea, and the stars. This sonic landscape is inextricably linked to its physical counterpart: a bespoke scent (LAAM4) designed to capture the track's spatial and emotional essence. By pairing the audio with an olfactory dimension, Yiu transforms the act of listening into an immersive, embodied ritual.

Thematically, Azure chronicles a psychological transition from seeking external salvation to realizing personal agency. While the opening verses express a desire to write a poem for a "guardian angel," the work concludes with a striking philosophical pivot: "Actually, there are no angels to protect us." Accompanied by an admission of queer desire and vulnerability ("Forgive me for loving him"), the piece abandons the need for divine intervention. Ultimately, Azure is a meditation on the synthesis of body and mind, using multi-sensory stimuli to anchor the listener in the radical acceptance of the present moment.

《藍》(2023)

《藍》(2023)是一項多感官藝術企劃,透過結合聲響、流動影像與嗅覺,進一步延展了姚氏對聯覺(synesthesia)的探索。本作與影像導演 Herman Ma 及香氛品牌 BLACK FADES 合作,在經歷了前作《ALEXMALISM》(2022)中強烈的存在性摩擦後,提供了一個讓身體與意識重新扎根的沉思空間。

在聲響建構上,作品褪去了激烈的俱樂部節拍,轉而採用空靈的電聲與夢幻流行框架。內省的歌詞梳理了都市人的疏離感與存在性漂移,試圖在天空、海洋與星辰等自然意象的恆常性中尋求慰藉。這種聲響景觀與其實體媒介密不可分:一款為歌曲量身定製的香氛蠟燭(LAAM4),透過加入嗅覺維度,姚氏將聆聽體驗轉化為一場極具沉浸感與具身性(embodied)的儀式。

在主題上,《藍》記錄了一場從尋求外部救贖到自我覺醒的心理轉變。儘管歌曲開篇表達了為「守護天使」寫詩的願望,但作品在尾聲卻迎來了一個引人深思的哲學轉向:「其實沒有天使給庇佑」。伴隨著對酷兒情慾與自身脆弱性的坦承(「原諒我愛他」),作品放下了對神性介入的依賴。歸根究底,《藍》是一場關於「身心一體」的冥想,透過多重感官刺激,將聆聽者牢牢錨定於對當下純粹的接納之中。



《藍》於 2023/03/31 零時零分於各大串流平台正式上架


Alexmalism - 藍

天氣不盡意 發生了甚麼事

心意不達致 我想坐在海邊寫詩


寫一首詩 給那守護天使

哼一首歌 給你表達心意

海天一色 將我包圍一切

不需恍惚 心會知道  那終點的方向


旋轉於 藍天空  沉溺於那天氣

時光去 日星空轉 期待這一刻真理

是天空  誕生出 那初生的新星

那光照 圍繞我 是心聲的蘇醒 


一切不盡意 (怎會可盡意)也許這是生活事 (平淡日子)

只有心在意 (總有些大智)看不到月光中的詩(不需意思)


輕輕撫摸 手臂刻畫身世 (人生在世)

深深呼吸 心裡感受一切 (不需算計)

天邊一閃 張開光環之際 (張開姿勢)

身心一體 衝破交界致一刻於一世


旋轉於 藍天空 沉溺於那天氣

時光去 日星空轉 期待這一刻真理

是天空 誕生出那 初生的新星

那光照 圍繞我 是心聲的蘇醒


其實沒有天使 給庇佑

原諒我愛他 膚淺的內疚
