杜煥憶往 實驗絕世遺音南音,或稱地水南音,是用廣府方言說唱的曲藝,曾流行於珠江三角洲一帶,是中國傳統音樂和口傳文學重要的文化藝術遺產。地水南音多由盲眼藝人演唱,男稱瞽師,女稱瞽姬或師娘,杜煥便是瞽師之一。二十世紀初,地水南音在香港十分流行,主要表演場所是茶樓、妓院,到了60、70年代,電台電視廣播流行,改變了娛樂表演模式,傳統演出場合亦逐漸消失,地水南音衰落。1975年榮鴻曾教授來香港為瞽師杜煥演出錄音。為了讓杜煥能充份地表現真正的藝術水平,忠於南音原來的面貌,榮鴻曾安排他在富隆茶樓進行錄音,茶樓裡都是他熟悉的環境,包括聽眾、氣氛。2018年進念以音響影像劇場科技,實驗杜煥錄音,重新體驗地水南音聲影空間。
