VANITAS命死 类型: 电子
发布日期 2021年10月31日 出版发行: DreamShore

MUSEミューズ is an extraordinary hommage to impressionism. The result is a personified force in 11 songs, here to inspire artists while crafting artforms.
The album's concept are impressions of jazz made on specific moments. Those moments, where the light is falling differently were very important to impressionist paintings.
Thinking about their artworks, MUSE will give you an impression of light, sound & emotion through VANITAS' jacket.
The result is a warm unique sound charged with dopamine beats, layers of glitches, melodies, jazz, and touches that take you on a trip.

8.9 (7 个评分) Fripp & Eno
发布日期 1973年11月1日 出版发行: Island
专辑类型:Experimental / Ambient
专辑厂牌:EG
专辑介绍:
1973年Brian Eno 离开Roxy Music后开始将他的环境音乐理念付诸实行,这是量产系列作品的第一张,用一台VCS3合成器与数位sequencer搭配Robert Fripp 的即兴吉他演奏,合成器浑沌的持续背景长音概念来自Eno大学时期接触的La Monte Young音乐,旋律结构则是受到Philip Glass的啟发。成果虽很阳春,但Fripp一流的电吉他为专辑加了许多分。而这些背景长音的概念未来将由简入繁,演化至更複杂的音景拼贴,并在Another Green World(EG,1975)专辑中发展至最高峰。

SEASCAPE - polyptych 豆瓣
Jan Jelinek 类型: 电子
发布日期 2023年4月28日 出版发行: Self-Released
One of the most notorious hatemongers in movie history is Captain Ahab from John Huston’s 1956 classic Moby Dick. His manic monologues cast a spell on generations of viewers. Berlin based musician and sound artist Jan Jelinek has now turned the voice of Ahab into a musical instrument. Faitiche presents Jan Jelinek's soundtrack for SEASCAPE – polyptych, an audio-visual software developed in collaboration with Canadian new media artist Clive Holden in 2022.
SEASCAPE – polyptych is based on image and acoustic source material from Moby Dick. While Holden works on manipulating film sequences, the voice of Ahab plays a central role in Jan Jelinek’s soundtrack. The dynamic volume and tone of the captain's speech control a synthesizer system that turns Ahab's voice into ten abstract soundscapes.In this production the voice gives the impulse and controls things but is not the sound of spoken word itself that we hear. Only occasionally can snippets of speech be heard so that syllables or sounds are recognisable. Instead we hear compositions made of hissing, soundscapes and eruptive sounds. The atmosphere is dark and sinister. Still every piece has a clear sonic structure and follows an understandable dramatic composition. This music is abstract but not overwhelming. Quite the opposite, SEASCAPE – polyptych is an invitation to listeners to let themselves be carried by the stream of sonic events.

Although part of a media art work, the soundtrack can be enjoyed without any of this connecting superstructure. It works with no previous knowledge. But what happens when one does know that it’s the sonic waves of a human voice that is controlling a network of synthesizers?If you want to hear Ahab, you will hear a choir of Ahabs in every piece of sound. The subliminal threatening as well as the conjuring Ahab. Finally the Ahab who whips up his crew and tears them with him into their downfall. The majestic „on the quay now, waiting and watching“, the oppressive “drawn towards the whirlpools center” - they are all music as well as sonic discourse.

Immunity (remastered) 豆瓣
Jon Hopkins 类型: 电子
发布日期 2023年6月2日 出版发行: Domino Recording Co.Ltd

To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Jon Hopkins’ seminal fourth album, Immunity, a newly remastered version of the record is now available.

A confident, dramatic record defined by an acute sense of physicality and place, Immunity felt and still feels, like the accompaniment to a journey of creativity, a trip inside Hopkins’ mind. It brought together everything he had learnt and experienced already but also paved the way for the evolution of his future records, most recently, 2021’s Music For Psychedelic Therapy.

Immunity was a turning point in Hopkins’ career. On its release in 2013, Immunity announced itself as a powerful, multi-faceted beast, packed with the most aggressively dancefloor-focussed music Hopkins had ever made. However, Immunity was never just about the techno behemoths - of which there were several. Hopkins wanted the album to help people to reach different states of mind. From graceful and mournful piano notes, stirring choral drones, he was always seeking new melodic routes to aid this and his desire to use physical, real-world sounds as the basis for many of the album’s rhythms allowed him to craft one of the most human electronic albums.

Ver Sacrum 豆瓣
Bruno Sanfilippo 类型: 轻音乐
发布日期 1970年1月1日 出版发行: ad21
VER SACRUM
Throughout history, this expression has been used to describe various ritual group expulsions and the deduction of colonies, particularly with regard to people getting back to nature.
For example, the Italian town of Nocera was founded in the 7th Century BC by inhabitants from Camerinum, who left their ancestral homeland during a so-called Ver Sacrum.
In ancient Rome, during times of calamities such as pandemics, earthquakes, wars, or plagues, they used to devote children born in spring – from the 1st of March to the 30th of April – to the gods Jupiter and Mars. Then, when they turned 20 or 21, these children were required to leave the community to begin new settlements” ad21
*************
Sounding like some long lost, sacred canon, Ver Sacrum – the new album from Bruno Sanfilippo – marks something of a departure for the Barcelona-based pianist and composer. Far more orchestral in nature, there’s a spiritual, quasi-religious force to these pieces; strings swoop and soar, maudlin organs plough slowly, sorrowfully forward, while several sopranos add to the ecclesiastical air. But there’s hope and joy here too, and a childlike playfulness – playing these tensions against each other is what makes Ver Sacrum such an intense, rewarding listen. Inspired and informed by the ancient custom of ritualised expulsions of the same name, one can find the whole spectrum of humanity within these nine pieces: sorrow, loss, love, rebirth, change, hope, and the indefatigable human spirit. It’s what gives this music its power. Derek Robertson, journalist and music writer: Guardian, Independent, NME, VICE, Timeout, The Quietus, The Face.
"It’s an emotional journey through the many notions of humanity. One which I implore you to explore. Absolutely exquisite in every sonic detail. Don’t miss out!" Headphone Commute.

"Il nuovo lavoro di Bruno Sanfilippo incanta e commuove, smuove ricordi e immagini arcaiche, riesce a trasmettere il senso della Natura come presenza che governa il nostro respiro (...) Ver Sacrum è PUREZZA E SACRALITA’ NECESSARIE" ROCKERILLA Magazine.
"Trame melodiche pervase da profondo intimismo, tessute con eleganza sulla tastiera del pianoforte. È questa l’immagine a cui – a ragione – viene associato il profilo artistico di Bruno Sanfilippo, una pratica neoclassica fatta di emozione e perizia esecutiva, sviluppata spesso in totale solitudine. Eppure Redes, pubblicato lo scorso autunno, sfuggiva in parte a questo assunto presentandoci il musicista argentino di base a Barcellona in una veste marcatamente ibrida alle prese con modulazioni sintetiche calde profondamente intersecate al suo abituale pianismo.
Ver Sacrum, la sua opera più recente, definisce un ulteriore scarto mettendo definitivamente in secondo piano lo strumento d’elezione a favore di una coralità orchestrale – sperimentata già nell’ottimo Unity prodotto per Dronarivm – che affida alla sacralità dell’organo, alle qualità struggenti degli archi e al toccante contributo della voce la sua piena espressione. Sanfilippo qui è innanzitutto compositore – malgrado esegua personalmente quasi ogni partitura – regista di una suite in nove movimenti che presenta l’alternanza dei sentimenti dell’uomo mutuati dal rituale arcaico della Primavera Sacra, celebrazione atta a propiziare il superamento di un momento di difficoltà attraverso un processo di distacco e nuova fondazione.
Sacred Spring ne dipinge l’aura solenne con le sue armonie gravi, Camerinum mette in risalto il contributo fondamentale del canto lirico, mentre The Children’s Ceremony – sospinta dalla voce cristallina del violino di Laura Masotto e dalla controparte profonda offerta dal violoncello di Antonio Cortesi – offre l’immagine di speranza luminosa connesso al rito, rimandando alle pagine più briose del capolavoro vivaldiano. Spetta a Numen ricondurci parzialmente verso scenari più essenziali e a Superstition segnare l’apice di solennità di un lavoro che affascina e commuove senza sosta in ogni suo passaggio." SoWhat

Xia Ye 豆瓣
6.9 (7 个评分) Night Swimmer 类型: 电子
发布日期 2022年7月7日 出版发行: Shy People
《Xia Ye》的音乐创作萌芽于 2020 年 2 月初,Night Swimmer 在家乡湖北黄冈的封城生活经历 —— 一次雨后夜游山郊之旅。在对名为“蚊虫山”的攀爬探索之中,泥泞但闲暇自在的步伐带来了长久遗失的旷野独处之乐趣,但外部世界开始质变的那些混乱且沉重的征兆,也不断撕扯着这份自在。自然带来的原始慰藉已抵达,但其所创造的心灵景观开始了波荡扭曲。
在随后的两年时间里,日常的苦闷与琐碎、对超验主义的理想与爱、城市之间的无目的流转、以及外部环境的剧烈变化,与脑海中“蚊虫山”的记忆嘈杂交错,汇聚成《Xia Ye》的叙事碎片。Night Swimmer 在模拟电子、采样及人声之中溯源音乐记忆里的世纪末 New Age 以及各类乡间神秘仪式的声响,在传统中国乐器声色和幽暗旋律中勾连回忆与现在,呈现一次完整的内部探索之旅。
《Xia Ye》并非对当下的精神困境之解药,它是对个体危机、精神变迁与自然慰藉的一次记录。每个人都可以在这块闲暇旷野之地感获某种意义,于现实风暴之中寻得新的安宁。
During a nighttime visit to a mountain called “蚊虫山” (Mosquito Hill), located in his hometown, Huanggang, Hubei Province, the idea for Night Swimmer’s full-length album, Xia Ye, came into being under the bleak and harsh background of a city lockdown, during the early outbreaks of COVID 19. The journey began with an unrestrained and immersive exploration into the nocturnal wilderness of the mountain. The dim-colored environment refreshed and inspired his mind without any human contact. Yet, the thoughts of the chaos and ordeals rampaging in the external world began to resurge, relentlessly lashing back at his long-lost mental serenity; A spiritual terrain was formed and modified.
In the following two years, every aspect of his life: the intermittent gloom and triviality of daily living, the continuing ideal and love for transcendentalism, the nomadic wanderings among cities, and some looming befuddlement over the still-happening chaos around this world, all turned into winds and waves carving this spiritual landscape and finally condensed into the symbols behind each track in Xia Ye. In Chinese, Xia Ye can mean either chill night or chill field. To delineate this transformed state of mind, Night Swimmer employed analog synths, organic samples and human voices that are essentially redolent of his listening experiences of 90s New Age music and local rituals in his hometown when he was a child. Xia Ye meanders through the past and the present via traditional Chinese instrumental sounds and melodies, conjuring up a wholesome inquiry into this imagined field of self.
Xia Ye is not an antidote to the spiritual crisis of the contemporary world. It is a memoir of the transformation of the inner self. But, these sounds and melodies can hopefully help achieve some meaning and peacefulness for those also finding themselves lost amid the realistic, grueling storms spreading worldwide.
