情意贯穿《shine》故事
事隔两年多,Eason再度推出全新国语专辑,找来火星电台和林俊杰两个全新合作单位擦出跨地火花,于同一国度里呈现Eason截然不同的两面。

Dec. 12, 2021 watched
从标语All women are beautiful到片名She's beautiful when she's angry的改写 戏谑地透视出影片选取的视角——对于美的价值的重构落脚到愤怒之上 而愤怒诉诸行动 这是对制作纪录片当时当地面临的历史问题之反袭做出的鲜明号召 但也因此 影片只选择了最易于形成共识的部分做着走马观花式的群像铺展 而没有对思想 缘由和走向做太多的描绘 片中对于女性运动的反思桥段显得尤其缺少头绪 似乎仅仅是服务于起承转合的叙事结构;这样的选取同样遗漏了些更具活力的激进思想 不论是转写性与性格的Scum Manifesto 还是费尔斯通构想的全日制托儿所的cybernetic面向 都因其激进不易引起共鸣而被刻意忽略 然而这些对把握思想理路 理解女性主义内部分歧都极其重要 成片着实单薄了些 不如反叛缪斯有余味

悬疑做得挺好 先呈现谜团与人物的偏执 通过闯入的双层结构 延展到历史苦难与道德焦虑 最后回访历史又书写了新的苦难 叙事结构在隐喻意义上是精巧的;从流氓罪 返乡潮到下岗潮 王小帅一直关注后CR时期的人文灾难 似乎想说CR从未真正结束 看似美好的新生活不过是老一代(*姓邓)以同样手段建立起的荫蔽;老一代因负罪累累 既无法重温已然破碎的集体记忆 又因无法被免去历史负重的新一代理解而被排除在外 成为了货真价实的闯入者 她闯入了别人(老赵)的生活 却无法拥有自己的生活 每个闯入者都是不合时宜的人;视听功过参半 门廊内外的静止与晃动切开了无法打通的两个空间 算是颇具巧思 用达内式手持跟拍呈现道德焦虑也十分妥帖 但是时而出现的正反打则打乱叙述视点 给出实在谜底后情节也经不太住回溯 王小帅还是没有自己的美学

7.5 (20 ratings) Sharon Van Etten genre: Folk
release date 2014-05-26 publisher: Jagjaguwar
Sharon Van Etten already spilled the beans on the impending release of Are We There, her forthcoming follow-up to 2012′s Tramp, and the tiny bit of music she shared in her too-short album trailer sounded deeply pretty. And now SVE is ready to let us know the particulars of her new album, which will be here in time for Memorial Day weekend. She recorded this one with the veteran producer Steward Lerman, who’s previously worked with people like Sufjan Stevens and Antony And The Johnsons. Van Etten met him while they were working on the soundtrack to Boardwalk Empire together, and they recorded it at Lerman’s New Jersey studio.

影片讲述了中国早期摇滚人侯牧人的女儿侯祖辛,带着导演身份诚挚纪录中国摇滚人三十年来的沉浮与坚持。是父亲也是主角的侯牧人身患脑梗,这种病会反复发作,使肢体瘫痪或眩晕,严重的会导致急性昏迷,甚至死亡!可怀揣着摇滚音乐人的执着和热血,侯牧人奇迹般的坚持了下来。

Ypres Douban
7.0 (6 ratings) Tindersticks genre: Pop
release date 2014-10-20 publisher: Lucky Dog
Music for the permanent exhibition at the In Flanders Fields Museum, Ypres, Belgium.
In late 2011 tindersticks were commissioned by the In Flanders Fields World War One museum in Ypres, Belgium to provide the soundscape for the new permanent exhibition being planned to commemorate the centenary of the Great War and beyond.
Ypres was the epicenter of the Western Front in The Great War and was virtually destroyed by the conflict. It has since been rebuilt to its original plans, finished only relatively recently. The museum is housed in the rebuilt cloth hall that stands in the centre of the town and was once the hub of the towns industry.
Hundreds of thousands died in Ypres and the surrounding area. Allied cemeteries and graves are everywhere. It is overwhelming. Though in keeping with the perspective of the new museum a need to bring the essence of the experience to a personal level felt crucial. To somehow loosen it away from the images we have all become accustomed to.
A deep connection and inspiration for the work was found in the quiet, dignified German memorial garden of Vladslo and Kathe Kollwitz’ famous ‘Grieving parents’ statue that resides there.
The work is an evolving soundtrack to the vistors journey through the exhibition. Its aim was to become the sound of the air within the museum, never to be over bearing. This journey is punctuated by private comtemplative spaces where the score was allowed to become more poetic.
Given that buildings are known to be highly individual, the spaces within them resonating differently, it was felt that the building itself resonated to the key of F. The starting point for the music became a musical cluster of E flat, F and F sharp. Stuart Staples and Dan McKinna worked closely together to compose the work.
Recording the score, with its ever variable bar lengths and being void of vibrato was a tense day, presided over by long time collaborator, orchestra leader: Lucy Wilkins. The orchestral recordings were made at the Church in Crouch End, London and were then taken back to Le Chien Chanceux studio in France to prepare for the installation.
A beautiful bank holiday weekend in May 2012 was spent meticulously building the soundscape for every individual space, for each step through the museum.
This music was never created to be a stereo image as the various components were mixed together in the individual spaces of the exhibition. A second wave of studio work yielded this version.
The music in the museum itself loops seamlessly all day, everyday. It is music without a beginning , middle or end.
Where are you going? Douban
7.0 (39 ratings) 海龟先生 genre: Rock
release date 2014-06-28 publisher: 摩登天空
两年前,已经颇具人气的海龟先生终于在摩登天空推出了首张同名专辑,那时他们已成军八年,辗转大江南北,最终为了音乐驻留京城。从亚热带的沙滩跋涉至北方内陆的柏油路面,他们没有变成风干的标本,也没有被捉入北京独立音乐水族馆,他们是一个如此明亮而特别的存在,绝不囿于任何舒服但封闭的空间。所以在乐队成军十年的今天,我们才有幸听到《Where Are You Going》——这样一张气质高迈、超拔于世的杰作。
首张专辑《海龟先生》是对乐队早年音乐探索及生活思考的阶段性总结,那些老乐迷耳熟能详乃至轻松跟唱的曲目被悉心打磨编辑成册。驳杂而复古的风格,精纯的技巧,明快的色调以及动听的旋律,使他们鹤立于同质化渐趋严重的中国独立乐坛,南方外省青年的活力和机智被青春的能量冶炼成金,发光发热。然而新专辑《Where Are You Going?》既非青春颂歌或挽歌,亦非“成长的分裂和阵痛”那么简单,它来自于“先生们”对繁芜世事的观察和切肤的生活经验,冷眼和热肠经由信仰的点化,开辟出陌生却又宽广的格局。
思与行:在信仰缺失的时代痛苦追问
灵魂虚弱的人才会拒绝长大,先生们没有一厢情愿地拒绝成人社会,他们业已成人,并深味于人性之幽暗和局限。新专辑是对个人世界的超越,与荷尔蒙的涨落无关,所以他们不问“Where Am I Going?”,而是向所有人提问。这些追问沉重而焦灼,痛苦而紧迫,以致人们避而不谈,犬儒以对,“我们宁愿绝望也不信/自己的灵魂没有内在的美德……主啊要往哪儿走呢?”(《Where Are You Going》),“抹去对死亡的恐惧/等待下一次灾难的提醒/过后紧接着狂欢的聚会/这就是真相?”(《悬崖巴士》)。新世纪以降,中国社会随狂飙的经济发展迅速融入全球化进程,曾经的地下音乐之火,以其灰烬肥沃了中国新音乐的土壤,经由互联网的灌溉,催生出百花齐放的独立音乐。海龟先生既是其中一朵,又游离其外,他们的诘问不只面向身边躬逢盛世的中国人,而是观照当代世界整个人类的处境。西方几百年来的现代化进程是神性衰微人性崛起的过程,工业革命,知识爆炸,人类对物质世界的认识和改造遽然提升到前所未有的高度,随之而来的是人对自身理性的无限自信和崇拜。然而人性深处的非理性基因就像被压抑的复仇女神,愤怒窥伺,择机而动,终于在世界大战中释放出毁灭性的能量。社会实践中似乎无所不能的人类理性,原来始终被意识深层的非理性所驱使,它是工具,而非存在之家。硝烟散尽,症结犹在,拜资本主义强大的自我调节机制所赐,信仰真空得由消费填补。摇滚乐作为青年人对既存秩序的造反武器,历经数次收编和突围,逐渐在新世纪定性为一种享受型的音乐。今天的中国总算赶上了消费时代的快车,而中国的摇滚乐队海龟先生,却以“脱狱”的姿态,重拾信仰,痛苦追问。
词与乐:走向曲折幽深的未知之境
他们不屑柏拉图“哲人王”式的世俗权威:“让强大但有限的头脑做王/这第一个谎言轻易进入世间”(《Where Are You Going》),将“全民消遣”的社会喻为“奋力冲向悬崖”的巴士;他们曾在汶川地震之后写下颇为励志的《微笑》,却逐渐看清了幸存的人们是怎样“为了片刻的欢愉”而“出卖自己”;他们用音乐呼应了尼尔·波兹曼的《娱乐至死》:“那些独立而严肃的思考/被娱乐轻松瓦解/不问是非/不痛不痒的感动/抹去对死亡的恐惧”(《悬崖巴士》),还为鲁迅笔下的奴才找到了当代化身:“从出生那天起/我的名字叫做奴才/和身边的人们一样/一心只想当皇帝……他们教我趋利避害/抄近道爬上神坛”(《给摇滚绑架》),这些人不仅是强权的奴才,更被名利所奴役,心安理得地变成自己曾经反对的人。对于摇滚乐认识的改变影响了这些歌的创作,用乐队灵魂李红旗的话说,他们跟摇滚呆了十年,“发现它总是在质疑和沉溺,却无法解决问题。它把真实等同于高尚,当成堕落的借口。它只要真实而不关心未来。”在道德破产、众人化善恶为利害的今天,他们与时代为敌,鼓起了孤绝的道德勇气,“摇滚打着摇滚的幌子,却比那些道貌岸然的伪君子在道德实践上更软弱。”与此相应,新专辑在音乐形态上的变化令人惊讶。明快洒脱、简练干脆的旋律线不再贯穿始终,个别曲目更是紧随李红旗清俊可塑、依势而变的声线,走向曲折幽深的未知之境,细腻,迂回,慢热,之前驾轻就熟的复古风格得到更细致的消化,面目不清却更可玩味。他们坚持三大件的经典配置,通过精湛的编曲开掘其潜力,深化其意境;而并不押韵的、现代诗一般的歌词,则被主唱妥帖地熨烫在器乐的布景之上,为所有在母语和摇滚舶来品间死磕的乐队树立了榜样。
明与暗:呈现不同的创作阶段
当然也不能忽视专辑中另一半带有以往深刻烙印的曲目,它们大多脱胎自早期的创作。《那时阳光明媚》中俏皮跃动的旋律和Rockabilly味儿吉他承袭自上张专辑的《一起跳舞》,歌词更多出几分谐趣;《变形金刚》、《Snoopy》显然保留了《Porn Star》式的Hard Rock风骨,淋漓酣畅,铿锵激昂,它们和《Last Chance》同样用李红旗自创的“鸟语”即兴唱出,前者听起来近似英语,后者意外带出些牙买加风情的西语味道,竟似自然天成;《她》则将《微笑》中欢快的Ska放慢为摇摆的Reggae,穿插老练入味的吉他Solo,共同写就一首有原型有故事的叙事诗。这部分曲目使《Where Are You Going》呈现出几乎截然相对的两面,如一颗庞然自旋的行星,一面明亮灿烂,一面神秘黑暗。但这并非先生们分裂人格的呈现,而是不同创作阶段的印证。舞台下,恋旧的老乐迷可以放心地和新朋友站在一起了。
没有原罪观念的儒家是相信人性的,故有“修身齐家治国平天下”之说。但入世者受挫之后往往选择寄情山水,逍遥避世,这与基督徒以担当求救赎的世界观相异。李红旗曾说,“摇滚的积极之处在于它打掉了我们对人性的期待,意识到人都是有限的,是需要被怜悯的。摇滚本质上是对人性失望、不相信人性的。”所以海龟先生在痛苦中坚持并进步着,我们也由此确证了《Where Are You Going》的可贵——它有诚意,有格局,有丘壑,更有基于信仰的思考与责任。
