封存於專輯裡，永存。
A Root 同根生，笙、中阮、柳琴、鋼琴、低音提琴及世界打擊樂組成的融合樂團。宜蘭音樂人所組成，擅以環境與空間為創作靈感，透過音樂敘事。穿梭於自由即興、爵士音樂語彙之間。那些來自生活的靈光，於潛意識中生了根，造就我們的樣子。
 首張專輯《同根生Rooty Mental》代表我們的來源與趨向，以「連結」的概念貫穿，由出走到回歸，在聲景詩歌中交織對土地的熱愛。來自宜蘭的樂人與創作者，融合中西民族器樂、電子樂器與環境聲音，轉化北管鑼鼓、泰雅歌謠等音樂素材，探尋臺灣韻味的當代光景，在地發聲，世界共感。
特邀詩人吳緯婷、聲音藝術家許雁婷，以宜蘭地區的「橋樑」為主體共同創作。透過文學、聲景、音樂的跨領域互動，多維度思考橋樑與人、土地、時空的連結關係。共同打造四首「聲音詩」：《龜山》、《雪山隧道－致2001.05.11》、《涉水－歪仔歪橋》、《Baisin之歌》。
“In music, we have love. Love is the root of everything on earth. And only love can transcend spatial dimensions to connect the universe and home.”
“Using Chinese and Western musical instruments, poems, and field recordings, A Root transforms the emotional connection to land deeply embedded in our souls into extraordinarily refined sonnets, humorous yet passionate, distant yet splendid. This one-of-a-kind album demonstrates unlimited creativity and is definitely worth your time and attention.”
“Based in Yilan, A Root is an ensemble with great prospects. The members of the ensemble express their nostalgia for home and yearning for the future with a common language of music. When listening to A Root, the superb sense of space and time in their music evokes my impression of love for the land.”
“Listening to A Root’s music is like walking into a déjà vu scene and looking at our shared life experiences and memories through a brand new perspective. Their melodies are sometimes light as feathers flying in the wind, yet somber and tranquil at other times—like the beating of the heart, the rhythm of nature.”
