尤利西斯的凝视 豆瓣
9.3 (23 个评分) Eleni Karaindrou 类型: 原声
发布日期 1995年1月1日 出版发行: ECM
海伦卡兰卓(Eleni Karaindrou),被称为希腊大导演安哲罗普洛斯(Angelopoulos)的御用作曲家,因为他们自1982年的相识之后便开始了超过20年的长久合作,卡兰卓去年最新的作品,一张标题为“Weeping Meadow”的唱片,也是安哲罗普洛斯的同名影片的中的音乐,这已经是他们的第七次合作,而此前几乎他们的每一次合作都广受好评。尤其是1995年的《尤利西斯生命之旅》,以及1998年的《永恒与一天》。无论是艺术电影的角度,还是从纯音乐的角度,或者是从电影与音乐的相互配合,这两部作品都可以被称为经典了。
《尤利西斯生命之旅》
神话与电影
尤利西斯,其实就是希腊神话中的奥德修斯(Odysseus),是荷马史诗《伊利亚特》中的人物。他在神话中是一个大智大勇的英雄,岛国伊萨卡的国王,传说在特洛伊战争中起到决定性作用的木马,就是他设计的。他也是《伊利亚特》的续篇《奥德赛》的主角;《奥德赛》这部史诗,就是讲述特洛伊战争结束后,他与其他众位希腊英雄在海上漂流十年,经历各种磨难之后终于得以重新回到家园,重新被国人接受,与家人相认、团聚的故事。
而这部《尤利西斯生命之旅》则是借喻了尤利西斯这个神话人物的形象,描述一位希腊电影制作人,A,在离别故乡三十五载之后重回家园,走遍战火纷飞、饱受创伤的巴尔干半岛,寻找一对兄弟导演在世纪初拍摄的三卷已经失落的未冲印电影胶片。
就如同卡兰卓其他几张在ECM公司制作的电影音乐唱片一样,这张《尤利西斯生命之旅》中的曲目也并非是简单地按照在电影中出现的顺序排列,而是在她与唱片制作人弗雷德•艾歇尔(Manfred Eicher)的深思熟虑下,经过重新选择、编排的。经过从音乐的角度重新饧虑和组织那些音乐素材之后而产生的这张唱片,具有自身的思想, 是不需要作为电影附庸而存在的。
音乐意象
在她的音乐中,卡兰卓遥遥向我们伸出手来,引导着我们的目光,在历史的废墟中踯躅而行。在她的音乐中,我们的思绪穿越地域,凝视河流,山脉和旷野;穿越历史,凝视文明,战争和杀戮。聆听着这张唱片,仿佛就像跟随着电影中的主人公A,在跋涉与寻觅中,体验磨难中的苦痛,经历成长后的淡然。而这些影像这些思绪,就那么不动声色地被记载,用旋律,用和声,在唱片的每一条音轨里,仿佛一个自己珍藏的容纳记忆的盒子,可以让自己常常逆行于时光长廊,回首翻检记忆的片段。
这是一张智慧而淡雅的唱片,里面音乐有一种凝神静思的美,不知为什么会让我想起各种各样的黑白照片,有时候,我甚至会因此联想起卡兰卓年轻时候的模样。
卡兰卓的这些音乐,大部分都由一把中提琴奏出主题,或许是因为中提琴音色的厚度和绵延可以表现出那种追忆和失落的情怀,表现出岁月的积累和沉淀,而又不失之于悲痛和忧郁吧。除了中提琴以外,卡兰卓还在音乐中加入了手风琴、双簧管、小号、法国管和大提琴,通过不同乐器的音色,或交织,或对比,营造出相似音乐主题的不同感触和情绪。
唱片中的音乐一共分为十七个乐段,其中的主要乐段称为“尤利西斯主题”,而唱片的结构就是由这个主题和它的分散在唱片中的六段变奏所支撑起来的。唱片里的音乐一上来就是尤利斯西主题,中提琴在高音区独奏出这个主题,在管弦乐伴奏的背景下显得分外冷清透明,仿佛是某个夜晚从海面上缓缓升起的一轮明月。
从第二乐段开始,尤利西斯主题的各个变奏时隐时现地贯穿于整张唱片,以各种不同的形象和情绪出现于或者悲凉或者温暖的旋律与和声中,也许象征着那淡然凝注于磨难与成长的目光。唱片中有一首超然独立于尤利西斯主题之外的乐曲,标题叫《河流》,是这张唱片中唯一一首以管乐为主的乐曲,法国管低沉悠长的音色从弦乐的和弦中淡入淡出,如同茫茫水天之间的一叶扁舟,或者是记忆中的一块残片。是在时间之河中轮回?还是在记忆之河中忘却?我不得而知。小到个人,大到家国,也许是都一样,每一次磨难就是一次轮回,而我们总是不断地在这种或那种轮回中,经历着苦痛和成长,见证着失落、追寻和遗忘。
音乐的风格
试图对于现代作曲家的作品进行归类好像是一件难度很大的事情。我们可以很容易把巴赫、莫扎特、勃拉姆斯的作品从其他音乐作品中区分出来,贴上古典音乐的标签;但对于像卡兰卓这样的作曲家,也许我们只能够通过音乐的风格、使用的乐器、对于大众的迎合度这些标准,含糊地把她中后期的音乐作品归类于严肃音乐,或者,“古典音乐”。
然而用“严肃”二字,或者“现代”二字,来对卡兰卓的音乐进行归类,恐怕会吓跑一大批将听而未听的听众。事实上,至少从字面上来看,用这两个形容词来形容她的音乐实在是不太公平。当然,我也并没有打算为之开展什么“正名”或是“重分类”的运动;我只是想用她的音乐来说明一下,“严肃”音乐其实可以是优美绝伦、荡气回肠,而“现代”音乐其实也许隐含着比传统古典音乐更为古远的乐思。
在这张唱片中的某些音乐中,我们确实可以找到一些早期音乐的痕迹。
有一首标题为《拜占庭赞美诗》(“Byzantine Psalm”)的短歌,是一首无伴奏合唱形式的赞美诗;而这种节奏自由的单音清唱曲,正是一千多年前早期宗教音乐中的典型形式。这一首拜占庭赞美诗用古希腊语唱出,柔和温暖的女声在持续低音的伴唱下如同幽谷回音,不带一丝一毫的烟火气。
在这首拜占庭赞美诗中出现的持续低音,其实在卡兰卓的音乐中十分多见。比如在这张唱片的几乎所有其他乐段中都可以找到相似的持续低音,只不过不是由人声唱出,而是由乐器所演奏。卡兰卓曾经回忆自己童年时在故乡的山村所听到的那些美妙的声音:风声,雨点在屋顶上的敲击声,潺潺的流水声,下雪时寂静的声音,还有在教堂中听到的持续的男声吟唱及其所伴随的拜占庭圣咏旋律。。。也许,那些音乐中的行云流水般的低音和声,正是那些千年前曾经回响在古代希腊上空的音乐,却经由卡兰卓的聆听和记忆的折射,穿越了时空,将我们感动。

Mets 豆瓣
8.2 (9 个评分) No Clear Mind 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2013年4月22日 出版发行: Inner Ear
No Clear Mind already have a loyal audience thanks to their first album, "Dream Is Destiny", which was self-released in 2009 and freely distributed over the internet and now lists thousands of downloads. Their new album is titled "Mets" and is released in April 2013 via Inner Ear.
"Mets" is a cinematic narrative of ten instrumental tracks based on melody and unstrained rhythmicity. Having strong autobiographical elements, the tracks function as a music depiction of past memories and emotional states, small stories tied inextricably with the track titles.
It all started in the homonymous neighborhood of Athens, initially as a personal project of Vasilis Dokakis on ambient instrumental themes with intense cinematic elements. At the same time along with Lefteris Volanis (through their side project Mother Tree) they began to indulge in psychedelic folk and the rhythmic perception of the 70s. A building in the heart of Mets, that houses for years now the artistic activities of various Athenian creative teams, was to become the "home" and a source of inspiration for No Clear Mind. The small apartment was turned into a studio. Vasilis Dokakis took over the composition and production and through his daily interaction with Lefteris Volanis and the three new members of the band began a project of intensive recordings, testing, changes and arrangements that lasted over 2 years and resulted in the recording of countless versions, from which stood out the 10 tracks of "Mets".
A DIY production approach was consciously followed in order to capture the ideas musical range of "Mets" without any time limits. The emphasis in the orchestration part, the intense lyricism and the choice of a “wall of sound” aesthetics demanded the very well-thought-out arrangement of the numerous instruments used. It is worth noting that, along with the folk influences and the 70s melodic and rhythmic elements, the entire album gives off a rare Greek aroma as perceived by No Clear Mind.
“Mets” is released in double 10inch vinyl (including bonus cd) and digital album from Inner Ear.
No Clear Mind are:
Vasilis Dokakis (vocals, guitars, piano, programming)
Lefteris Volanis (vocals, guitars)
Kostas Haliotis (drums)
Dimitris Pagidas (piano, synth)
Babis Theoharis (bass)

Taking The Veil 豆瓣
Hior Chronik 类型: 古典
发布日期 2015年5月24日 出版发行: Kitchen. Label
‘Taking the Veil’ is the debut solo album on Kitchen. Label by Berlin-based musician Hior Chronik. Originally from Athens, the new album is a follow-up to his previous work on the label as the duo Pill-Oh in ‘Vanishing Mirror’. The established foundation are intact on ‘Taking the Veil’: the bitterly romantic strings and gentle electronics whisper melting over plaintive piano scores. Hior Chronik has a penchant of producing subtly immense and cinematic compositions which are remarkably chilling in its beauty.
The latest release follows Hior Chronik’s distinctive compositional path with the pairing of a collaborator on each track. This time the instrumental colors are most intimate, honed to evocative perfection with each collaboration bringing its own nuances to a permeable set of motives. Through the contemplative moments, what give it life is the varied scoring which goes from solo piano to string orchestra, opening up a space that shimmers with stirring melancholy. Featuring classically aligned contemporaries such as Field Rotation (Denovali Records), Sophie Hutchings (Preservation), Luup (Experimedia) and Japanese composers Yasushi Yoshida (noble), Yoshinori Takezawa (Schole Records) among many others. The biggest change in this new album is the addition of vocals by Amber Ortolano and Fabiola Sanchez (Familiar Trees) on four songs. Figured centrally in the soundtrack as recurring lyrical voicing, the Amber Ortolano and Hior Chronik pairing also produced a rearranged version of ‘Twice’ originally written by Swedish electronic band Little Dragon.
‘Taking the Veil’ is presented in a 16-page art book format, also featuring the New York based Amber Ortolano as a photographer. The subject in the visual narrative of ‘Taking the Veil’ is of young women imprisoned by their flow of thoughts and their dark imagination. The delicate beauty and ambiguous gestures of feminine protagonists serve as powerful metaphors of the veil as the title of the album reflects – They reveal and conceal all at once, reviving emotions conjured by a sense of mystery. The album underlines this atmosphere that probe the consciousness imbued with burnished hues of something half-remembered and half-dreamed. ‘Taking the Veil’ is the best company for late hours and memory searching in a world of mist and shadows.

Hilja 豆瓣
Cucina Povera 类型: 电子
发布日期 2018年1月26日 出版发行: Night School
An ethereal, unresolved presence fading into the stereo field, Hilja breathes into life with a haunted synth line and self-sampling vocal hook that instantly creates an enchanted space. Hilja is the debut album by Glasgow-based musician Maria Rossi aka Cucina Povera. Named after a style of southern Italian traditional cooking associated with precarity and making-do, a philosophy of simplicity and stoicism that applies perfectly to the spare but beautiful music Rossi experiments with. Hilja’s marriage of minimal synth, field recordings and the hymnal dexterity of Rossi’s vocal performances creates a new language, sometimes literally, to be spoken in some mythological Fourth World we’ve yet to create.
Originally from Finland, Rossi brings an acute sense of space, surroundings, and practicality to her working practice, with each composition often relying on a limited sound palette to create deeply affecting messages which transcend language. Cucina Povera’s power is to communicate purely, often down to the solo-choir nature of Rossi’s multi-layered voice, an achingly beautiful instrument which has seems to have an innate spirituality in its grain. The tension between the means and the end is at the heart of Cucina Povera, the invocation of a kind of secular spirituality at times using nothing but Rossi’s voice. Indeed there’s almost a Dogme-like purity to the arrangements: Elektra is a soothing song based around the lapping waves of Rossi’s wordless backing vocals and a simple field recording of stones knocked together. Kehoitus is completely a cappella, a haunted fairytale told in glossolalia, evoking a quasi-religious experience with very little.
For music often minimal and simple there’s a boldness that belies Hilja’s status as a debut. Rossi allows each word, each sound and rhythm to exist in its own space, finding its own relationship with its surroundings. Mesikämmenen Veisu is perhaps the most ecclesiastical sounding composition here; burbling water trickles below a virtuoso vocal, with incredible arrangements in several registers undulating above. A meditation to relieve hunger and restriction, it’s a perfect summing up of Hilja, a music ambient but completely earthed, finding enchantment in what you have to hand, the realism of magic, the magic of realism.
Daemonia Nymphe 豆瓣
8.4 (9 个评分) Daemonia Nymphe
发布日期 2002年9月1日 出版发行: Prikosnovénie
1984 年组建的“仙女”有两位成员Spyros Giasafakis和Evi Stergiou,组建伊始她们就将自己的音乐追求锁定在再现神秘的远古希腊音乐这个目标上。98年Daemonia Nymphe发表了自己的第一张黑胶专辑The Bacchic Dance of the Nymphs,后又参与了法国黑暗独立名厂Prikosnnvenie的合辑Belladonne 2的创作。着名小提琴制作家Nicholas Bras更是特意按文献图样为组合制作了一系列远古希腊器乐,这让仙女们的音乐才华得以充分展示。2001年正式专辑Tyrvasia发表,希腊神话中的奥林匹克诸神一一复活,纯粹的地中海异教音乐。2002年Prikosnnvenie发行了Daemonia Nymphe的新同名专辑,简朴神秘的音乐再度袭来。不禁手之舞之,足之蹈之....
Daemonia Nymphe专辑中看似简朴的音乐框架中蕴含了太多才华和心血。除2名固定成员外还有17位特约艺术家在其中演奏了包括牛角号,bag短笛,响板,圆手鼓,牧笛,萨恩蒂厄琴(一种类似扬琴的波斯拨弦乐器),双簧管,木吉他等诸多乐器。整张专辑起始于器乐曲MISSAGE HORN'S ENCHANTING ECHO(远古号角迷人的回响)中那音色如中国古箫般孤寂沉郁而又辽远的牧笛吹奏。“噢,在韵律中舞动你的手臂,旋转的脚步敲打大地,山颠的情人们为酒神而呼喊”——IDA'S DACTYLS(艾达的诗篇)在一段萨恩蒂厄琴/竖琴与木吉他的合奏中男女声吟唱着酒神节的欢娱。轻盈缥缈的SUMMONING DIVINE SELENE(召唤圣洁的月亮女神)显然是月神的赞歌。接下来是牧笛与萨恩蒂厄琴合奏的器乐曲——冥王圣歌HADES。简单甚至有些简陋的调式如此阴暗压抑。但痛苦随即被森林之神的舞蹈(DANCE OF THE SATYRS)中的热情洋溢所取代。这是专辑中最好听的一首器乐曲!一首雕像的情诗(korai rejoicing in antron)过后,Daemonia Nymphe开始歌颂居海中仙女涅瑞伊得斯(NYMPHS OF THE SEAGOD NEREUS),酒神巴克斯(HYMN TO BACCHUS)和牧神潘(INVOKING PAN)。
所有歌曲如此的独特,不同于我曾听过任何地方的民族/中世纪音乐,这就是在那远古希腊城邦中回响的音乐?那么迷人,恍如从月亮中传来,忽然想到了村上“斯布特尼克恋人”书中在希腊的小岛被神秘音乐掠走的堇,我想她那时听到就是这种音乐吧...久远的,早已失去的再次浮现...必然带来莫名伤感。虽然绝大部分歌曲是纯器乐演奏,但偶尔出现的人声吟诵短暂且内潋,带有希腊特有的典雅,简朴。整张专辑听下来只有一个感觉:意犹未尽,意犹未尽。
--------文字转自黑潮!
Daemonia Nymphe are trying to recreate the sound of Greek Antiquity. They are working with legendary Greek instrument maker Nicholas Bras.They also use instruments that few of us have heard of : lyra, varvitos, krotala, pandoura, syrinx, keras, seistro, samviki, anyone? besides slightly more ordinary percussion and some vocal chants. The album is punctuated by distant battle cries, voices that evoque dancers, revellers and people in ritual celebration of Orpheus.
Athenian Primitivism 豆瓣
Christos Chondropoulos 类型: 民谣
发布日期 2021年4月16日 出版发行: 12th Isle

ISLE011 is a collection of cassette recordings made in Athens by Christos Chondropoulos over the last five years. Coming from an avant-garde percussion background, Christos calls upon themes of ancient Greek folklore and musical tradition through a futurist lens depicting robotic societies in post-human harmony. He constructs worlds reminiscent of Marcello Giombini’s Mondial Folk series or Umiliani’s exoticised Omicron outings. By looking to the future rather than the far-off past, he builds upon these early instances of technologically charged cultural geography and presents an authentically Greek reading of a parallel Athenian basin. Where his last work for 12th Isle explored once-forbidden tunings and unplaceable tonalities, these recordings further expand on the artist’s simultaneous concern for heritage and imaginary projection. Across the final Side D, Chondropoulos explores themes of maternal love present across the album by working with local singer Sofia Sarri to record six piercing, beautiful acapella phrases.

Selofan 类型: 电子
发布日期 2020年10月20日 出版发行: Fabrika Records
A match made in heaven and hell, since forming in the cradle of Europe Athens, back in 2012, dark synth duo Selofan have paved their own perditious way, reinventing the modern Darkwave scene throughout the continent and worldwide with their prolific creativity and work ethic over the past decade.
Through varied experimental synth-scapes conjured with keen ears for sound design, production, and theatrical aesthetics, Selofan rest not on the laurels of just creating highly danceable coldwave infused music, but with together with Joanna Pavlidou’s haunting vocals, and Dimitris Pavlidis’ throbbing bass guitar, and modular synth compositions, the pair conjure whole other worlds and narratives throughout each album and music video they create.
