    Quiet American - [Radio]

    Tag:

    Web:http://www.quietamerican.org/

    Third ear open

    The world makes its own music, but we rarely listen with naive ears.

    Quiet American is the manipulation of sounds I hear and record.

    The project began as I grappled with what it meant to be a tourist in another culture. It continues as I grapple with what it means to be a tourist in my own.

    The opportunity, the thrill, and the risk of travel is being present to the world. My goal with Quiet American is to sketch in sound the experience of being in an unfamiliar place.

    The work on this site is not a replacement for travel. But if you are willing to listen, you may be transported.”

    晚上突然发现这样一个关于声音与脚步的地方,让我悲哀。

    站长的第一次field recording是在去越南旅游的时候,他偶然记录下那些民间的音乐,以及经过的河流、夜晚、市集、火车甚至动物们的声音。从此一发不可收拾,他的旅途遥向更远更广阔的地方。你知道,这些声音代表着某些辽远的东西,或许就是另一个世界,它们比我硬盘里任何一首感人的歌都要更感人。因为那是世界、是脚下的土地、是旅途和星空发出的声响,像身体一样真实,真实到足可触摸。

    你可以下载到众多遥远的声音,而那些地方你或许这辈子只能在地图上看到。

    站长来过中国,并且在成都拍过熊猫,其中也有关于中国的field recording,甚至在他所记录的图像里还专门有个xiong mao

    有时候生活不需要什么,当你可以在沿路记下的影像与声音里看到过去,似乎也就足够。

    我突然想起18,9岁时读《Dharma Bums》,冲动得像个孩子,现在重读则只剩下感动罢。

    在30岁前,我已然不能选择生活。

    两个 - [Netlabel]

    Beat the indie drum

    一些indie吧,青涩的声音。没什么让人惊喜,但就像这个夜晚平淡地过去般,他们平静地歌唱。需要有声响在耳边。

    这张还不错

    Dharmasound

    Download:http://www.dharmasound.com/catalog.asp

    达摩之声,似乎名不符实。32张都是各种风格的电子,偶尔也掺杂不同的声音。不过他们的链接里倒是真有一个佛教网站。有些听上去倒是蛮不错,我喜欢静谧的夜晚与光线。

    Trastienda - [Netlabel]

    Tag:

    Web:http://trastienda.org/

    来自西班牙,Trastienda的意思似乎是回到房间。indie,rock, electronica,folk ,如此等等。

    Download:http://trastienda.org/catalogo/

    我很喜欢这一张:

    eleven-songs-written-recorded-on-the-bathtub

    一个人,那么安静的唱着,让世界都安静下来。

    PS:这些封套都挺不错。

    他们在Archive上是这么自我介绍的:

    trastienda.org is a non-profit net-label based in Salamanca (Spain) which works with independent music. Our catalogue includes pop, rock, electronica and folk bands from several Spanish and non-Spanish cities.

    上次IOSV选过的Fragil他们也发过:

    FukkGod - [Netlabel]

    Tag:

    Web:http://www.fukkgod.org/

    Fukk God Let's Create is an freely distributable online label featuring abstract electronic music of all kinds, including anything from drone, through glitch, to abstract beats of all kinds. You can check out our website here.

    Download:http://www.archive.org/details/fukkgod

    我对他们出的东西兴趣倒不是很大,倒是他们另个计划比较牛逼:

    http://www.fukktapes.org/

    嗯,就是出他妈的fukk卡带,全部是噪音。目前只出了一个/10盘。正如他们说的,This is Not Normal Music,那他妈的还真不是人做的。

    然后,他们也幽默了一把:

    We don't accept demos, so go fukk yourself!! If you want to send us porn, bribes and other non noise related things drop us a line: blowjob [at] fukktapes [dot] org

    Thinner / AutoPlate - [Netlabel]

    Tag:

     Thinner Releases

    Web:http://www.thinner.cc/

    Download:http://www.thinner.cc/releases.php?label=thn

    德国的大牌子,94张了,始于98年,01年正式开始出netlabel。似乎他们只收欧洲的乐队。

    说是电子,也有些动人的。比如PPP32这个家伙曾经介绍过的Arrial。

    “If you consider to send us a demo of your work please make sure it fits the Thinner sound before you send it. Do not send any downbeat/IDM/electronica/dark ambient/techno/knarz related music as we're not interested these styles. Demos that are way off from our labelsound are trashed without further notice. ”

    这段很幽默,似乎就是德国风格吧:老子对那些没兴趣,你丫别寄来啊!

  • 有关这个人的故事已然结束整27年,它的结尾与一张专辑和一部电影有关,或者说它们在198051718日这两天里合力促成了一个人的死亡。

     

    你去查任何一份关于Joy Division的资料,上面都是这么说:十七日,美国巡演开始前两天,Ian Curtis在家一直看一部名为Stroszek(史楚锡流浪记)的黑白电影;十八日傍晚,他被妻子Deborah发现上吊于厨房,那里反复地播放着《The Idiot》。我们总不能说Stroszek的导演赫尔措格与不再波普的老Iggy是元凶——事实上,与众多高调的自杀或是自我放逐般的毁灭不同,Ian很早就孤独地面对死神——所有阴冷、潮湿、自闭与黑暗的声音源头均指向生而相伴的病痛。所有后世的后朋克与哥特乐队们,以及由之衍生出来的众多风格都应该感谢这个人以及癫痫症:假如没有那个厨房的晾衣杆,没有《Unknown Pleasures》与Ian死后发行的《Closer》,没有那两天或是23年中一个23岁的人所独自面对的困境,关于摇滚乐的wiki百科似乎要减少很多名词与无数耀眼又黑暗的名字。

    Rain Music - [Netlabel]

    Tag:

     Web:http://rainmusic.free.fr

    “rain music is a French net label, principally focused on artists who design original sound landscapes.
    Created by Gabriel Hernandez a.k.a
    GoGooo in September 2006, rain music produces mp3 EPs and LPs.”

    Note : All rain music artworks are made by Gabriel Hernandez

    electronica,experimental,indie。Rain Music应该算是比较成熟的netlabel,起码封套的设计就体现了这点——或是简约的线条勾勒情绪,大片空的白做那些低缓声音的背景;或是大片留白的彩色天空,角落里探出的风景暗示低郁与沉静。

    安静,很安静的声音,缓缓前行,似乎每一张都值得推荐。

    而我喜欢这画:Bending wood
