【作品材質】管風琴、金屬。
【完成日期】預定114年7月12日
【創作理念】 「聽蒸氣」是座屬於高雄火車站的自動樂器，結合了蒸汽火車汽笛特質，在穹頂下，整點演出，創造高雄火車站獨有儀式感。即便蒸汽火車早已不複見，但蒸汽火車以冉冉蒸氣夾帶汽笛聲與銅鐘聲，仍然存在我們語言中，連從來沒坐過蒸汽火車的孩子，玩火車遊戲時，依然說「嘟嘟」表達火車來了。   我們將兩種過去車站重要的聲音元素轉化，創造屬於高雄車站的新樂器。蒸汽引擎煙囪造型，結合定時樂聲，位在地下一層的廣場，以樂聲告訴大家整點到了、高雄到了。屬於高雄車站的樂曲將委託音樂人柯智豪：柯智豪致力於台灣傳統音樂的轉譯，包含轉化自布農族獵前祭槍歌的高鐵廣播提示音。高雄車站未來整點報時將連結蒸汽火車聲景與未來期望。

【Artist’s Description】 "Steam Locomotive" is an automatic musical instrument located at Kaohsiung Train Station. It combines the distinctive sounds of a steam train whistle and performs on the hour under the station’s dome, creating a unique ritual exclusive to Kaohsiung Train Station. Although steam trains are no longer seen today, the sound of steam accompanied by whistles and bells remains part of our language. Even children who have never ridden a steam train still say "choo choo" when playing train games to imitate the sound of an approaching train.   We have transformed two important sound elements from the station’s past to create a new instrument unique to Kaohsiung Station. With a steam engine chimney design and timed musical performance, this instrument, located in the underground plaza, announces the hour and symbolizes the arrival at Kaohsiung. The station's signature music will be composed by musician Blaire Ko, who is dedicated to translating Taiwan’s traditional music, including the transformation of the Bunun tribe's pre-hunting gun song into the High-Speed Rail's chime. In the future, Kaohsiung Station’s hourly chime will connect the soundscape of steam trains with hopes for the future.
