Music from Taiwan Mystery 台灣謎景

Mong Tong is brothers Hom Yu, Jiun Chi and 仝. They listened to what they describe as "Dianziqin music" along with video game soundtracks, vintage Asian movie samples and psychedelic music. These inspirations combine with Taiwanese folklore and a love of conspiracy theories to form what they describe as "superstitious music". Mong Tong means many things in Chinese, but the translation they choose to fit their music is “the east-side of dreams”. This record is the soundtrack of the art book series "Taiwan Mystery". The book is a collection of Taiwan's cultural and mystic attractions, including special temples, purgatory facilities and Buddhist mummies, which took more than six months of fieldwork and photography to put together the book "Taiwan Mystery". 來自彰化現居台北的合成器採樣迷幻音樂三人組Mong Tong,由洪御、洪郡崎和仝組成。樂隊大量借鑒台灣的當地宗教、神秘文化、都市傳說等題材,同時採樣各類復古電子遊戲和邪典電影,加上迷幻搖滾的潤色,以自稱「電子琴音樂」的「本土俗氣」音色,探索出了自己一套獨特的音樂審美。 《台灣謎景》原為樂隊自主發行的「旅遊」圖鑑,蒐集了台灣特殊廟宇、地獄場景、肉身佛、不思議館、畸形建築、陽具崇拜等特殊景點,耗費半年以上實地考察拍攝,集結成「台灣謎景」上下集,而音樂作品為圖鑑原聲帶。
