"Hong Kong singer-composer Heidi Li’s music and Kishore Acharya’s sound design are evocative.” Meenakshi Shedde
作為一名作曲家,我熱衷於融合不同文化的影響,創造出提升故事敘述體驗的聲音景觀。我的音樂旅程始於香港,自幼便在父母的薰陶下學習粵劇和粵曲。這段中國傳統音樂的基礎,不僅培養了我對東西方音樂元素融合的濃厚興趣,也讓我在創作中找到了獨特的聲音。
我先後在加拿大、英國、法國和意大利等地留學和居住,這些經歷拓寬了我的文化視野。在意大利錫耶納爵士大學學習爵士樂和即興演奏期間,我深入探索將粵曲結構融入爵士樂的可能性。這種獨特的音樂融合,逐漸成為我作品的標誌性特徵。
2023年,我踏足電影音樂領域,為尼泊爾導演Nabin Subba的長片《通往村莊之路》創作了配樂及主題曲,該片在多倫多國際電影節首映。這次創作經歷不僅加深了我對電影配樂的熱愛,也讓我發現了一條通過音樂來表達多元文化影響的新道路。
我期待與更多追求獨特且富有文化內涵的導演及製作人合作。我希望通過我的音樂,不僅能配合導演及電影製作人的藝術眼光,還能打造一段情感之旅,增強故事的敘述效果,為電影配樂注入多元文化視角,創作出能跨越文化界限並引起國際觀眾共鳴的樂曲。
As a composer, my passion lies in blending cultural influences to create soundscapes that elevate storytelling. My musical journey began in Hong Kong, where early exposure to Yuequ (Cantonese Opera) sparked a deep passion for integrating Eastern and Western musical elements.
This journey has taken me across Canada, the UK, France, and Italy, where I embraced jazz and improvisation, particularly during my studies at Siena Jazz University. There, I began integrating Cantonese Opera into jazz—a fusion I hope will become a hallmark of my compositions.
In 2023, I ventured into film composition, crafting the soundtrack for Nepali director Nabin Subba’s 'A Road to a Village,' which premiered at TIFF. This project opened a new avenue for me to express my multicultural influences through film music.
As I continue to grow as a film composer, I am eager to collaborate with filmmakers seeking a distinct, culturally infused musical voice. My goal is to bring a fresh, multicultural perspective to film scores, creating soundscapes that transcend cultural boundaries, enrich the narrative journey, and serve the directors' artistic visions.
