音乐人本质上并不是在兜售泛泛的“体验”:他们兜售的是音乐体验。这是他们的艺术。布莱恩·伊诺(Brian Eno)在他的《肿胀的附录之年》(A Year with Swollen Appendices)一书里有篇文章,极好地论证了音乐在流行音乐与流行文化中的作用。基本上(真希望哪儿能有个链接),他认为流行音乐里人们其实是……
Musicians are not there to sell "experiences" in general: they are there to sell musical experiences. That's their art. In his book "A Year with Swollen Appendices" Brian Eno has an essay that makes a good case for the role of music in pop music and pop culture. Basically (and I wish there was a link this someplace) he argues that in popular music people are in…
……至少他似乎决心以一种费曼式(Feynman-esque)的方式保持好奇心。遗憾的是(至少对我来说),他近期的音乐没有 70 和 80 年代的作品那么打动我了,但生活就是如此。他的书《肿胀的附录之年》(A Year with Swollen Appendices)读起来极有意思。在平淡琐碎的日常琐事中夹杂着一些惊人的洞见,书末的那几篇随笔单拿出来就值回书价了。
…least he seems determined to stay curious in a Feynman-esque sort of way. Sadly (for me, at least), his music of late doesn't thrill me as much as his '70s and '80s work, but that's life. His book, A Year with Swollen Appendices, is extremely entertaining. Mixed into mundane daily items are some striking observations, and the essays at the end are worth the price of the book alone.
我有他的书《肿胀的附录之年》(A year with swollen appendices)——他最近在写网络日记方面有没有做过类似的尝试?我对他的音乐倒无可无不可,但我确实很喜欢读他那些充满思考的每日随笔。
I have his book "A year with swollen appendices" - has he done anything similar more recently wrt keeping an online diary? I can take or leave his music but I did enjoy reading his thoughtful daily entries.
我认出这句话出自《肿胀的附录之年》(A Year With Swollen Appendices),就算你不是 Eno 的粉丝,这本书也非常值得一读(不过我是他粉丝,不得不承认我带点偏见 :P)
I recognize it as a quote from A Year With Swollen Appendices, which is a great read even if you aren't an Eno fan (although I am, which admittedly makes me biased :P)
……发出这种声音的咽喉。胶片颗粒感带来的激动,褪色黑白影像带来的激动,正是目击那些对记录它们的媒介来说过于重大的事件时所产生的激动。” ——布莱恩·伊诺(Brian Eno),《肿胀的附录之年》(A Year With Swollen Appendices,1996)
…the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.” ― Brian Eno, A Year With Swollen Appendices (1996)
……你提到的那本书。亚马逊的试读里包含这段话,在第 318 页。如果你对 Eno 感兴趣,里面的其他随笔也很值得一读——试读里能看到不少。http://www.amazon.com/Year-With-Swollen-Appendices-Brian/dp/...
…the book you mention. The preview on Amazon includes this passage, which is on page 318. The other essays there are worthwhile if you're into Eno -- a lot are in the preview. http://www.amazon.com/Year-With-Swollen-Appendices-Brian/dp/...
