泥灘地浪人-跳舞時代

泥灘地浪人推出新作《跳舞時代》,該歌曲原為1933 年發行的 78 轉 (rpm) 黑膠唱片,由鄧雨賢作曲、純純主唱。泥灘地浪人改編原曲風格、融入 Swing 節奏,遙遙映照 1930年代台灣與美國當時的音樂文化。 始於視覺發想前端,先就 30 年代的歷史唱片進行研究,體會當年時空背景與印刷設計條件下的美感表達,設計思考的核心是圍繞在如何回應那台灣本土流行音樂崛起的年代、那迷人的跳舞文化風潮與那歷史氛圍的的時代精神。我們想再造一個經驗:一個第一眼即可辨別的異於當今之美感體驗;梳整了尺寸、結構、造型、唱片標籤、歌詞本事、顏色、紙張材質、排版美感、字體選擇、插畫、甚至到印刷表現,重回樸實而簡陋的單色牛皮紙封印刷,再現 30 年代懷舊風情並對 78 轉 (rpm) 黑膠唱片獻上真誠敬意。 一張用耳朵 (聆聽音樂) 、用手 (觸摸時代),讓我們側轉個身、回頭望向那黑膠唱片單純質樸而風華絕美的年代。
