January 23 Imagination at Music *1*---The Future Sound of LondonFormed 1989 in London, England
他们最初以舞曲二人组出现,拥有两张俱乐部热门专辑“Stakker”(as Humanoid)和“Papua New Guinea”。之后,伦敦未来之声登上了世界上最受欢迎最受尊敬的实验性融合电子团体之列,他们融合了电子摇滚,古典,爵士,嘻哈,电子风,工业摇滚元素,并将它们混合成一种丰满充沛的,sample-heavy(似乎是结构重组的意思,以后问到具体解释了告儿你们)的音乐,制作精良,而且更难能可贵的是在他们之前并没有先驱者。 团体成员Garry Cobain和Brian Dougans在并不为人理解的情况以及一些压力之下,坚持着他们“未来即现在”的美学思想,并把它推广至许多不同的领域:电影、电视,2维3维的电脑图像和动画,网络,电台,当然还有录音。尽管他们把早期的作品贬低为“商业的产物”---不能代表他们后来的音乐理念,但其中的许多主旋律包括他们的“earlier 12"s”和第一张重舞曲风格的唱片“Accelerator”的旋律在他们后来的作品中一直如影随形。通常他们所做的就是将提取的音乐元素融合成一部作品,然而他们的做法超越了常规,他们并不沿袭试验电子音乐历史上的老套方法---把所谓那种风格享有的更加平静的元素生生的去套在更加复杂的方向上。 这两个人作为remixer也享有声誉,曾把Curve, Jon Anderson, David Sylvian和Robert Fripp,Apollo 440的唱片擦去,用剩余的碎料重新拼凑制作成了近乎宏伟庄严的复杂的作品。这个二人组在90年代中期及末尾阶段创作的三张重要的专辑“Lifeforms”, “ISDN”, “Dead Cities”打住了当时后锐(post-rave)欧洲试验性电子音乐(ambient, jungle, trip-hop,ambient dub等等)的那种猛烈的杂乱无章的发展势头。他们身上某种程度的朋克态度(并不是指他们音乐上的成功)使他们做了很多事情来强调造成这种局面的地下根基。经过了一段冗长的沉寂(有谣言称他们患有精神疾病,也有说他们隐居农舍),Cobain 和Dougans在2002年带着“The Isness”回归,这张专辑很明显受到六七十年代psychedelia风格的影响。(Psychedelia 得名于一种迷幻药剂,这种风格是将之前存在明显界限的各种流派、媒介融合在一起以形成一种完全的亚文化)(Psychedelia takes its name from psychedelic (mind manifesting) drugs, which assisted in fueling an entire subculture of fusing together different genres and mediums where strong boundaries had previously existed.---from Google search) 原文:
First recognized as the dance duo behind the club hits "Stakker" (as Humanoid) and "Papua New Guinea," Future Sound of London later became one of the most acclaimed and respected international experimental ambient groups, incorporating elements of techno, classical, jazz, hip-hop, electro, industrial, and dub into expansive, sample-heavy tracks, often exquisitely produced and usually without easy precursor.
Notoriously enigmatic and often disdainful of the press, the group's Garry Cobain and Brian Dougans worked their future-is-now aesthetic into a variety of different fields, including film and video, 2- and 3-D computer graphics and animation, the Internet, radio broadcast, and, of course, recorded music. Although they usually disdain their earlier work as play-for-pay club fare not representative of their later musical vision, many of the thematic concerns of their earlier 12"s and their first, heavily dance-oriented LP, Accelerator, followed them into their later work. Usually filed under ambient, that work is often much more than that, drawing from the history of experimental electronic music with a relentlessness that has helped to push the calmer elements of that genre's reputation into decidedly more difficult directions. The pair also grew in repute as remixers, obliterating tracks by Curve, Jon Anderson, David Sylvian and Robert Fripp, and Apollo 440, and rebuilding pieces of almost majestic complexity with the remnants. The duo's works of the mid- to late '90s -- Lifeforms, ISDN, and Dead Cities -- were important stopping points on the road of rabid hybridization characteristic of post-rave European experimental electronica (ambient, jungle, trip-hop, ambient dub, etc.), and the pair's somewhat punk rock attitude (despite their success) did much to underscore the scene's underground roots. After a lengthy hiatus marked by rumors of mental illness and a cottage lifestyle, Cobain and Dougans returned in 2002 with The Isness, a record heavily influenced by '60s and '70s psychedelia.
Sean Cooper, All Music Guide 关于音乐从开了这个space还没有正正经经的写过音乐的东西。大小论坛兜了不少,中外网站也看了不少,会为一些乐队热血沸腾,会为一些乐评拍手叫好。和朋友谈到音乐时,总免不了把国外的和国内的比较。接着,叹气,感慨,接踵而至……然,什么事情都有前因后果,中国的音乐也不可能一下子拔苗助长的就让我们人人满意了。在我们这个年龄,这个国情下,这个世界里,想太多终究是无意又伤神的。然,国外的(有点笼统了,暂且这样称呼)音乐随着技术的发展走得越来越快越来越远,中国的音乐随着经济的发展,会怎样呢?
这些都不管,不想。先敬业的做一个蹩脚的翻译者,搜罗一些我感兴趣的令人充满幻想的音乐---他们的创作者。

(原文也有,有错误欢迎指正,觉得不错就请推广 January 20 爸爸生日快乐! 永砺生日快乐!同月同日生的人应该会有很多相似的地方吧。说对你们熟悉,一个是我二十二年来一起生活的人,一个是高三开始离不开的声音。爸爸的很多固执,老大的很多执著,或许我想不通,就像一道只有一行字的数学证明题,看似简单,却无法解释,这样的东西,慢慢的就会变成习惯,一种融入自己的习惯。从年龄的量变,到称呼的质变,每个人长大,衰老的过程,就这样走完一个又一个阶段。曾经学琴的那十年,觉得自己和爸爸简直像敌人一样,钢琴盖一打开,接下来不可避免的就是争吵。每次我总像公鸡似雄赳赳不肯认输。妈妈爸爸,白脸黑脸一齐出场,顿时,不可开交。不学琴的日子,也不如想象般的太平。但终究我二十二了,终究爸爸也老了。我会怪他,关心其他小孩比我多。别的孩子在夸奖爸爸的时候,我会默不作声。我知道自己希求的是什么,但岁月流逝,等不到的已经过去,来临的是将要给予的。不论如何,我们一家三个人在一起的时候,就是我最温馨幸福的时光。呵呵,希望老爸不要总是吹胡子瞪眼的叫我:吃饭啦,洗碗啦,倒垃圾啦,弹错啦,快睡啦,快起来啦...还希望老爸身体健康(表说我不关心你,只是不想让你有心理负担)还希望爸爸妈妈永远相亲相爱
对永砺说:每年,不管节目风云突变,只要你的声音在,就好。 January 17 大便和公平 以及其他今天很累,喉咙干干的,头也疼得厉害,所以原本要乘回公司的71在经过我家的时候,我毫不犹豫的跳下去了。想洗个头,我总是想洗头,所以妈妈总是不想让我洗头。可是偏偏大楼里在13点到15点停水,好吧,水管子向着妈妈。我想吃药,翻箱倒柜,发现家里有许多药,可是就是没有克感敏,好吧,克感敏向着感冒。我还是去了公司,要画的图纸基本上告一段落了。所以就坐着,看看电脑。总是几个站子,就能消磨很久很久。发现这年头长得好看的人真多,逃之夭夭的博里就有好多好看的人。又发现这年头爱自拍而且还有那么点资本的人也很多。于是看着看着把同桌的眼睛也转过来了,“这是什么站子阿?” “ 一个人的博贝 ” “哦” “他很喜欢自拍哦” “嗯,看起来有点gay” “哈哈,我也觉得”
其实这年头,大家都很宽容,很无畏,很自由,很随意。
看到这个“毒药”的主人在一张自拍的图下写了:这张构图不太好 等等。。
我没有学过构图,没学过和画画沾边的东西。有了canon也喜欢拍,去波兰的时候不喜欢拍赫赫有名的,不喜欢拍雄伟壮观的,更不喜欢往名胜古迹前一站。我就拍那些表情,那些直入我心的一瞬间,还拍小孩子。
站子兜的差不多了,原本巴望着可以领钱的,可是等待无果。那就打道回府吧。
终于能洗头了,洗的时候东想西想。
觉得这个世界上唯一公平的就是大便。能拿来比较的都是大家在意的东西。有了比较,便没了公平。不比较的最公平。所以大便除了在一个便秘者和大便顺畅者之间有比较的可能时,其余的时间都很公平。
开始放假了,准备过得刻骨铭心一点,全身心的投入这最后一个令自己放松的机会。 January 16 English dairy every week *122:26 2006-1-16 Today there's a lot people spending the happy time with their dears. Happy Birthday to you all! It's been a long time after the blog @ 2006-1-3 I feel a little bit guilty.... really sorry I took part in the Love Radio DJ Contest which held on the weekend before last weekend. I made a 30 seconds TITLE mixed with 5 or 6 pieces of music and also some words said by me. The first time when I listened to the whole part is quite unbearable for me. I thought the voice of me is quite ugly.. But after hundreds times... that's too much, just a joke. Maybe 20 or 30 times I got used to it and thought Mmm... it may be a good one. However the result is that I failed to enter the second round. Not so surprised of me to get it. Just making fun and going there for a look at YongLi. Haha, I got his signature. He was serious to everybody except when he was talking to another DJ on the stage.In fact I don't like the name that everyone uses on these persons. DJ is a person with the job of creating music in a live show with a kind of device. But in China DJ means some talkative persons GUA GUA GUA GUA GUA GUA in the radiostation. Hm... Now I'm in winter holiday. Happy holiday to myself and good night to lovely yous still online in my msn. Zzzz Zzzz~~~ January 03 artist?中国的音乐还有很长的路要走
如果华人歌手有更多的责任心 那这条路可以短一些 艺术和现实到底有多少距离?为了大家欢乐而做的东西,到底是不是艺术呢?艺术家或者想成为艺术家的人,到底要做到怎样的平衡?其实大家在互相羡慕吧。艺术家羡慕不愁吃穿生活的人,名人羡慕穷并创作着的人们。如果他们都全部对调,哈!世界会有变化么? 记得上次德语课上的孙同学在回答关于那些哲学家的问题时,说:就好比他们是开着火车的列车员,我们是长长火车一节节车厢的乘客,他们在变换着方向,而我们却因为这永无止尽的列车的长度,或许什么都没感觉到。 我们还是好好的活着。 名人变成了艺术家 艺术家变成了名人 我们还是好好的活着 小小的心酸 就为了这不变的一切 |
