「禪」是梵語「禪那」（ध्यान，dhyāna）的簡稱。原義是靜慮，意即至心一處、靜思觀修。禪可以說是一種基於「靜止」的行為模式。停止才能前進，留空才能增加。透過靜止的冥想，屏除雜念，人們才能鍛煉思維，進而發展智慧。

台灣陷阱饒舌霸主高浩哲K-HOW，繼2019年關注台灣當前青年世代困境的《日頭赤炎炎》專輯後，睽違一年再度推出個人第五張創作專輯《ZENWAVE》。經歷了多年的歌手生涯高低變化，高浩哲走過憤怒、悲傷、狂喜等多種情緒起伏。此次高浩哲選擇跨越外在世俗的直觀執念，以內在的「禪定」出發。不論人世間的爭奪喧噪，將自身的意念得以匯聚成流，高浩哲不再徬徨。生活也好、創作也好，順著自己的節奏即可持續前進。

《ZENWAVE》除了呈現高浩哲的心境轉變，同也體現其耕耘多年的音樂思維之躍升。除了足以代表其音樂風格的808 Trap，不論是80’s帶有Cyberpunk科幻風味的Synth Sound、國際潮流上逐漸嶄露頭角的Drill，甚至是嘗試搖滾、House等跨界曲風。他並不滿足只被定義為一線陷阱歌手。

製作團隊除了海底隊當家製作RAYLO、老夥伴電音唱作人Dusa，此張專輯更是邀來了曾編曲頑童MJ116〈幹大事〉、〈少年董〉等知名單曲，並固定與有著BRIDGE等大勢饒舌歌手的重慶嘻哈廠牌GO$H合作的台灣知名製作人ROLLMEAJOIENTYELLA參與編曲、製作。

從專輯的取樣成音、視覺設計，甚至是MV的造型美術，高浩哲皆大量挪用本土民俗文化，尤其是三太子。對他而言自己好比三太子般對抗權貴階級。為了台灣年輕世代奉獻生命，削肉還母、剔骨還父，最終對抗成功。世代間的衝突和對立，也一直是他關注的議題。

高浩哲用他一貫的暗黑風格，搭配上強而有力的專輯概念、企製團隊。無論成功與否，他早已在這條音樂的不歸路上留下屬於他的記號。

The concept of “Zen” originated from ancient Sanskrit（ध्यान，dhyāna）,which means quiet down one’s mind, putting one’s heart into a singular focus. “Zen” can be interpreted as a behavioral pattern based on “tranquility”. One can only move forward by slowing down and earn more by empting out. Through the meditation of tranquility, erasing all the noise inside, that we can strengthen our mind and develop higher intelligence.

Since the album《日頭赤炎炎》focus on the struggle of young generation released in 2019, here comes the fifth album《ZENWAVE》from Taiwanese trap king K-How. After many year’s ups and downs, K-How went through various different emotions, anger, sadness, ecstasy…etc. This time K-How chose to transcend worldly attachment, restart from a inner status of “Zen”, disregarding all the external hustle, leaving only pure mindfulness in his heart, K-How is no longer lost, no matter life or his creations, he goes with his own flow and keep moving forward.

What《ZENWAVE》presented is not only the mental changes of K-How, but also the development of his music aesthetic over the years, except his iconic sounds of trap 808s or synth sound with 80’s cyberpunk characteristic, he even try to combines elements of Rock, House Music into this album, showing that he’s not satisfied with only being a trap music artist.

The all-star production team are comprised of Helicrew’s main producer Raylo, the usual suspect – singer/electronic music producer Dusa Naga, he also invited the well-known Taiwanese hip-hop producer ROLLMEAJOIENTYELLA who’re known for countless award-winning hit songs that he produced for across mandarin hip hop scene, from artists like Taiwan’s hip hop superstar MJ116 to Chinese top hip hop artists like BRIDGE、MACOVERSEAS to participate in the beat-making process.
From album’s sound selection, visual artwork to the subtle details in his music video, K-How implement lots of local folklore culture including imagery of Nezha. who died fighting the upper class and finally succeeded in the confrontation, which K-How symbolized himself as Nezha, sacrificing his life for young generation in Taiwan, expressing the conflict in between different generations and traditional values thru his music.
K-HOW continues his dark style on top of strong album concept, production team, no matter if he succeeds or not, K-HOW’s already leaving marks on this never-returning path.

黑暗中的彩虹
Rainbow in The Darkness
2017

The transformation of scars, the writings of freedom, the characteristics of open spaces and the time lapses of changes

This work responds to the outdoor installation of Spectrosynthesis - Asian LGBTQ Issues and Art Now organised by MOCA Taipei in 2017. Scars are the early inspiration to the artist, which later incorporated with writings, expressing the sense of public and privacy between day and night through the light. A set of eight matrixes is painted black and set on the square, forming a closed space. It is an interactive site-specific installation that allows people to leave their messages to integrate personal experiences within the public spaces. The square has become more than a space with audiences’ participation. The installation, space and audiences have been the one together in response to the concept suggested.

People usually express their emotions by graffiti or carvings on walls, while those marks would turn into important inscription of the eras. Rainbow in the Darkness intends to reduce mental scars resulting from verbal or non-verbal violence that left in people’s mind while they were growing up. Through the black matrixes lining up in the centre of the sqaure, the artist creates dialogues between the individual and the public. In the daytime, visitors leave texts or patterns by removing some black paints on the matrixes with a scraper, while in the nighttime the matrixes reveal those marks through the light from colorful LEDs installed within like the time lapses with personal and public stories. The work tells a story of people facing their scars bravely even in the face of much suppression, which ends up becoming a record of this era.



傷痕的轉化，自由言論的書寫，廣場開放的場所特性，不斷變動的時間切片

此作品為回應2017年當代藝術館展覽「光‧合作用－亞洲當代藝術同志議題展」之展出戶外臨時裝置，選以“傷痕”作為概念發想的源頭，結合書寫，試圖透過光，展現白天和晚上———開放與私密的兩種表情。裝置為八個長方形量體組件，作品設置在“廣場”，在開闊的廣場中圍塑出一個隱蔽的口字形小空間，量體上塗佈黑漆，藉由民眾在裝置上留下痕跡，由個人的內在生命經驗扣合廣場開放的場所特性，成為一因地制宜的互動裝置；廣場在此不再只是空間，而觀眾也不只是觀看者而已，兩者均成為作品的一部分，裝置、空間及觀眾參與構成三位一體，完整呈現出作品的意涵。

人們常藉由在街頭的牆面塗鴉或刻字來表達情緒，留下的各式印記也成為重要的時代痕跡。《黑暗中的彩虹》試圖透過釋放原本內心裡面的言語，也許是成長過程中，所遭遇的言語攻擊甚至身體傷害所造成的傷痕。透過設置於廣場中央、矩陣排列的黑色量體裝置，從個人開始，啟動一場與大眾的互動對話。白天民眾可藉由尖銳物品在覆上黑色漆料塗佈的作品表面，留下任何想訴說的字眼或圖案；到了夜晚，在作品內置的多彩 LED 燈條照亮下，這些隨著時間不斷變化並累積的痕跡，如同時間切片，漸漸被刻劃下的文字與圖像透出彩虹光芒，從個人私密的書寫成為眾人的共筆，彷彿訴說著人們在面臨各種壓迫時，仍團結凝聚以勇敢的姿態正視傷痕，最終成為這時代階段的一份紀錄。
