羅芳偉
《無眠者之夢》（ Nocturne for Insomniacs）寫於2018年春季，時值生活被現實的諸多壓力所吞噬之際。在長時間的異地通勤，掙扎於音樂創作、教學、 論文與經濟方面的各種壓力之下，使我（羅芳偉）產生輕微的精神耗弱。我嘗試將此人生低潮之經驗作為靈感寫作本曲，除了以聲音表現因失眠而產生的幻聽，也嘗試描繪人在清醒與夢境之間掙扎時所聽見的扭曲聲響。
《無眠者之夢》在縱向與橫向兩方面皆有其建構的主軸，包括了在短暫的樂句中徘徊於清楚與模糊之間的縱向和聲，以及時而持續且時而停滯的橫向聽覺時間。此外，本曲也涵蓋了多元的寫作技法，其中包含了頻譜音樂（spectralism）多彩的音色與和聲結構、中段類似極簡音樂（minimalism）中聲音的漸變與消逝、由支聲複音（heterophony）交織的聲響背景、以及長笛仿日本尺八吹奏的氣音，並引用似梅湘（Olivier Messiaen）作品《時間終了》中的兩個小節，隱喻本曲停滯的時間概念。我嘗試將不同的技法與素材融合，嘗試表達樸實的「概念」而非僅是亮麗的「表象素材」，以「虛」為本體，「實」為背景，以此曲作為我探索自身音樂語彙的研究之一。
