《白亦初》是音乐人小河发起的『音乐肖像』项目首期《音乐肖像 2015》十二首歌的其中一首，由歌手陈粒创作并演唱。歌曲中所描述的肖像人物是一名达斡尔族女生，族名鄂嫩德日德，她的家族从父辈改汉姓，她有另外一个名字：白亦初。 白亦初拥有很长时间的NGO工作经验，她的另一重身份涉及观念认同，为避免消费这个话题的嫌疑，文末位置的访谈中会保守地从创作的角度提及。 陈粒是与『音乐肖像』合作的十二组音乐人之中，唯一一位在创作阶段就接触了自己创作对象的歌手。7月初她第一次到小河的工作室，两人对合作歌曲的大概面貌就达成共识，陈粒看了肖像人物白亦初的视频素材，也跟小河讨论了创作想法，当时这首歌就已经产生雏形。 后来，陈粒作为创作者，希望通过面谈来验证自己的第一版歌词是否符合人物形象，经过音乐肖像执行团队的安排，她前后与白亦初见了两次面，有两次单独聊天的经历，歌曲样貌改动过一版，最后形成现在这首歌。

Set in 1950s New York, two women from very different backgrounds, (Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara), find themselves in the throes of lo ve in CAROL. As conventional norms of the time challenge their undeniable attraction, an honest story emerges to reveal the resilience of the heart in the face of change. The score is composed by Carter Burwell, best known for his work on Coen Bros films and Twilight. The songs consists of Jazz and Pop gems of the era portrayed in the film; Billie Holliday, Les Paul and Mary Ford etc. “There is no widely accepted explanation for the importance of music to humans, but one possibility is its ability to express and relieve emotional tensions that can’t be put into words,” explained Burwell. “In CAROL, two women are romantically attracted to each other but the culture of 1950’s America hasn’t provided them with a language for this. Expressing these inexpressible feelings is one of the roles of the score in this film.”
