Abbey Lincoln @ Theatre Maisonneuve

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 02:08:40 GMT

Abbey Lincoln 现场

刚看了77岁高龄的爵士女伶Abbey Lincoln的现场,
之前被她95年<A Turtle's Dream>萌到, 算Billie Holiday之后
最令我动容的爵士女声了.
什么是感人的力量, 我想这就是一位被搀扶进场,
却能用声音令场内众人需要被搀扶出场的老人做到的吧.

这个版本的<the world is falling down>可能是她最棒的演绎了,
远远胜过录音室版本的. 我觉得完全可以献给汶川地震.

中间Abbey唱至激越之处, 令钢琴/bass/鼓停下,
"I'll sing by myself", 然后一字一顿, 掷地有声地唱出
"The world is falling down,
so hold my hand,
hold my hand..."
微光中坐在我旁边的老太太双手捧着面颊潸然泪下,
我也觉得自己有点热泪盈眶了. 放眼望去, 无数的人
都是同样的姿势, 捧着面颊倾听这位可能是那个年代
仅存的仍不忍离开舞台的爵士女伶唱着生命的词句.

刚才说的全部歌词如下:
There are some folks

I used to know

Who used to smile

And say hello,

And spin the world

And turn the page

Entertaining

From the stage

Father time

Forever true

Loves its own

And me and you

Disappear just like the sun,

When the day is done.

The world is falling down,

Hold my hand

It's a lonely sound,

Hold my hand

We'll follow the breeze

And go like the wind

And look for a place

Where the willows bend

The world is falling down,

Hold my hand, hold my hand,

Hold my hand, hold my hand

[ The World is falling down... lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
Summer's gone

And winter's here

We had a lot of rain this year

The news is really very sad

The time is late,

The fruit is bad

The morning's come

And roosters crow

But people have no place to go

And disappear

Just like the sun

When the day is done

The world is falling down

Hold my hand

It's a lonely sound

Hold my hand

We'll follow the sund

And live for the day

And look for a place

Where the children play

The world is falling down

Hold my hand,

Hold my hand

Hold my hand

Hold my hand

Best Evaluator tonight

Wed, 14 May 2008 00:55:03 GMT

My third effort towards the evaluator role (three weeks in a row).
It was neatly done.
I hate to say it myself, but I had an incredible sense of humor tonight.
It was roughly drafted and delivered in a seamless flow.
I have no regret.

But up till now I haven't slept for 24 hours.....for work...
solely on two coffees and one tea.

室友狩 (引子)

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 07:04:57 GMT

Steve is moving out.

Lola is leaving with Steve.

So effectively, I'd be the only one here.

To be, or not to be... that is the question.

I could take it as a chance to leave for another new territory in Montreal, , , again, , , , but 2-months would be too short for this round; besides, everything about this apartment is really nice and it'd be hard to find such a compromise between the location, rent/utility, space, and tenant capacity. And IT FEELS LIKE HOME HERE.

Since there was a strong motivation for making this aparment my headquarter, the next logical move would be hunting for the other member.

This was my first time,,,,

And absolutely a fun experience, some part was even breath-taking to me.

<Death Note> has been the background melody throughout the process, so I guess my report would be cooked with a little bit spice of that.

3 Amigos

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 04:57:16 GMT

Just after I decided to spare any other effort for this birthday thing, J suggested that the lab should do sth for my birthday (....I think that's just a party excuse), so I said yes maybe we can go to 3 Amigos and get my hat!

3 Amigos is this Mexican restaurant near Guy that offers a customer a Mexican hat and a piece of candled cake for free if it happens to be his/her birthday that day; the waiters will be singing the Happy Birthday song to the customer as well.

Out of the blue, the whole party became dominated by an intriguing debate on the relationship/superiority between science and religion. Since the participants are knowledgeable inter-disciplinary grad students, it was pretty exciting. I'm trying to take down some of the witty statements (there were much more):

It (science) is not hard; it is irreconcilable.
Unless proved by yourself, science is a religion. If you started your independent move towards what a Nobel-prize winner has accomplished, you'd probably reach a different result. Because we never bothered doing so, we became part of the religion.
Science-inspired technology didn't change the world as much as social engineering driven by religion.
Science-omniscience is dismissible because it makes it less of science; assuming the fundamental fallacy of science wouldn't make it any less powerful; quite the opposite, we might find something useful.
The fact that almost every Canadian/American president includes "God bless us" in their campaign speeches is a strong evidence that North-America is a Christian society; the cross on the Quebec flag is another proof.
Science and religion are a continuum controlled by a probabilistic threshold.
We actually think about life, death, and after-life all the time; the reason why we avoid getting hit by a car is an indication that we don't believe the existence of after-life.

Other information

How to drink tequila: put some salt on your hand and lick it, then get a bite of the lime, finally get a sip of tequila and enjoy the blend taste.
"Canada" originated from a native American language, meaning "village"; when the colonists first heard of it, they thought it actually referred to a country, hence the modern Canada came into being.
"Habs" is short for Canadians; in Montreal, you will see a logo 'CH', which stands for Canadian Habs.

Jokes

While we were still in a long queue, I said, maybe we should go somewhere else and come back next year......suddenly the line moved forward for quite a bit. J said "can you say that again?", I repeated "maybe next year"; the queue stayed the same; "OK, that makes a 50% probability....", said J.

    这几天因为部分游行者阻挠了奥运火炬在巴黎传递，很多网友就对“法国人”发表了很多评论，但遗憾的是大多数人心潮澎湃地使用一些很难听的词汇来概括整个民族……
    我很喜欢听别人的意见和看法，支持人的发言权，但我是一个和平主义者，不喜欢暴力，不管是行为上还是语言上的暴力。因此，我不喜欢这些采取“极端的手法”来强迫别人接受自己观点的法国游行者。同样，我也不希望看到一些“极端的词语”来形容一个民族。

I was the best last night.

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 21:44:03 GMT

I won the "best speaker" with my ice-breaker speech and I knew I was gonna be.

It's probably one of the few times when people feel the same way as I do.

It's also probably one of the few times when I can tell myself "I'm the best".

Now I know I will be the best if I want to.

Thanks for the most perfect night of my life. I'd like to create more of this.

When Susannah said "your smile is not just the face but in your eyes and I've been always looking for that kind of smile of speakers", I was so moved because, yes, that's the way I show my friendliness and love to people, finally someone can see it through.

I'll take down all the comments from my fellow TMs, as the souvenir.

The sex scandal of Hongkong celebrities

Mon, 18 Feb 2008 07:15:12 GMT

As 三表 said, the whole thing was like an endearing hit on the G-spots of the entire population. What made them thirsty though? Financial situation, the ever-wider wealth gap between the minority, including these guys and gals in the naughty pictures, and the absolute majority, and the collective lack of fundamental spiritual support have drilled a deep hole into the society. On one hand, it is time to show some respect to privacy (not necessarily for the celebrities but in the context of the Chinese culture); on the other, it's also a sign of the collapse of the traditional entertainment system where creator-consumer interactions used to be minimized. I still don't understand why people adore the idea of bringing a cam into the bed especially when they are not shooting an AV. I now trust AV more than regular movies, in a documentary sense. 张柏芝's response was kinda cool though and she's darn right about that "all that shit is not fun at all but people all do that". Anyway, idol celebrities are all sad/distorted people, as much as we are. They are born to be someone they are not and liars, unlike most of us, who learn to be that way only gradually. May thou rest in peace.

Ski

Sun, 10 Feb 2008 15:55:26 GMT

Another first-time of my life. Another crazy decision I made while I was still sick (I've missed the axis meeting, night market, and Jason's birthday party the previous day).

Bits and pieces

by school bus as usual; it's equipped with a pretty decent heating utitily so it's cheap and nothing short of comfort. Pretty economical compared to a tour bus.
a group of 30 people or so
45-min drive
the ski I used is 150cm long; ski boots are pretty tough and really tight especially when you have thick socks on like I did; together the combination was pretty snow-proof and safe when you fall down: the boots, with yourself, detaches easily from the ski when a dramatically large force is exerted onto the junction between it and the ski, protecting you from a tragic bone-crush.
At the beginning, I fell like hell; soon I realized that I was doing sth impossible: trying to brake instantly (with an overly high v0, the acceleration will lead to a brake distance of a couple meters)
by using the sticks, I got better ideas of how to push my legs to steer the wheel, otherwise I couldn't have unsterstood what exactly the "push your left leg harder" means as the coach told us.
people favored the idea of going on a steep "green" track to force someone who couldn't swim to learn to swim for life on his/her own; I, however, decided to stick to my "baby hill" but set myself up on a series of tasks; each one of them was distinct in its goal but still a logical progression of the previous one, e.g., Task k deals with a right-turn at 60 degree to the horizontal axis, followed by a similar turn to the left; Task k+1 switches the direction. It worked perfectly for me and by the end of the session I've already had a nice control over orientations and speeds; I can even select a target skiier and follow his/her moves with a pretty dynamic speed variation... of course... still on the "baby hill":P
met a bunch of people, most of whom are grad students that arrived in Montreal less than half a year ago.

Such a sport like ski is a challenge to the fear of speed. Human being is a weird "U-turn" creature. Before you could gain the control over the speed, fear is an inevitable precursor; after that, the alert starts to fade and you are on your way to the extravagance of speed, "the need for/addiction to speed", hence the abandon of control. The U-turn applies to everything. "围城".

P.S.

I guess people show this list partly for ass-kissing the group of friends that may read their blogs; however, I figured my friends would be totally pissed and consider me idiot if I threw these to them (after filling out other similar quiz); therefore, my list does not include my real friends.

eXtreme Programming

Wed, 12 Dec 2007 07:39:21 GMT

I did a quasi-eXtreme-Programming with my new colleague Jason today. He used to be a Drum & Bass DJ in NY, an ice-skater, and now a Ph.D. student here at Music Tech. New to C++, he was seeking help from me. We ended up working together on his STK beat-detection project. One-hour eXtreme Programming is what can best describe the experience. I haven't touched C++ for almost two years but the sensitivity to problems is still there. The culprit turned out to be the global sampling-rate. This variable was not initialized in the default constructor of his flanger class, nor was it assigned any values before being read (it was initialized in the other constructors but the main routine created the flanger object through the default one), leading to a randomly small sampling rate, which blew up his delay modulator as a scaling denominator. Such a stupid problem, however, led us to another observation: the sinusoidal functions in the math library of C (<math.h>) requires reasonably small input, otherwise either the compiler will complain or the sin() would generate Inf, which is ridiculous to any Matlab user. There are other similar absurdities in computer languages, e.g., the Python pre-3.x think that 1/2 = 0 but 1/2.0 = 0.5.

私がaをした、準eXtremeがプログラムを作る、今日の私の新しい同僚ジェイソンと共に。彼は、ニューヨークのDrum&Bass DJと、スケートをする人と、現在、以前、ここ、Music Techの博士課程の学生でした。 C++に新しくて、彼は私から助けを求めていました。私たちは結局、彼のSTKビート検出プロジェクトに一緒に取り組みました。 1時間のeXtreme Programmingは経験について最もよく説明することができるものです。私はおよそ2年間C++に触れていませんが、問題への感度がまだそこにあります。罪人は、グローバルな標本抽出率であると判明しました。この変数は彼のツバ出シ機のクラスのデフォルト建設者で初期化されませんでした、そして、手当たりしだいにわずかな標本抽出率(スケーリング分母として彼の遅れ変調器を爆発させた)に通じて、読まれる(それは他の建設者で初期化されましたが、メインルーチンはデフォルト1でツバ出シ機物を作成しました)前に少しの値もそれに割り当てられませんでした。しかしながら、そのような愚かな問題は私たちを別の観測に導きました: C(<math.h>)の数学図書館のシヌソイド関数が合理的に小さい入力を必要とするか、さもなければ、コンパイラに不平を言うだろうか、または罪()はInfを発生させるでしょう。(どんなMatlabユーザにとっても、Infはおかしいです)。他の同様の不条理がコンピュータ言語であります、と例えば、パイソンpre-3.xはそんなに1/2 = 0、しかし、1/2.0 = 0.5に思います。

Trust me, it was hell of great fun, e.g., Kyle did an electroacoustic one again with only five recorded vowels spoken by himself and some additional synths; having only a Sony MD, Allegra did an interesting collage of three solo marimba performances; Powell presented a pro-quality EMO recording; Leavvit and his band members in California made a remote collaborative recording; my personal favorite goes to Chris' original folk composition, which I believe has the potential to hit charts.

Half of them bombed the final exam but still, people left their personal marks when they knew they'd miss the correct answer, some as follows:

Q6) What are two possible reasons for using audio level compression?

Because it could give your recording tons of airplay and lots of $$$$, diamonds, cool sports car and women like whoa!!!
Key: It can be used to increase sustain, make quiet portions of a recording more audible in a noisy environment and make it possible to increase the overall average volume (make the recording more “hot”)

Q7) What is direct injection?

It is like what Kurt Cobain did when he was running out of ideas.
Key: When the output signal from an electric instrument (keyboard synthesizer, electric guitar, etc.), is sent directly to the recording console (1), usually through a DI box.

Q14) A musician is being close miced in studio, but unwanted sound from an adjacent sound source is leaking into the signal. Specify three different things that could be done attempted to prevent this leakage.

They could forget about it and record at another time when the noise is gone.
Key: Use a more directional mic, move the mic closer, use an acoustic barrier, etc. (1 mark each for any three such answers).

爱死他们了.

TA (1) - 标题艺术

Tue, 27 Nov 2007 06:42:07 GMT

有人抱怨说看不到中文, 我就偶尔开开荤吧.

如果这辈子只做一回TA的话, 到Music Tech来做实在是不二选择. 一方面和作曲专业那边相比这边本科课程对学生相对宽松, 允许他们瞎搞; 另一方面学生的创造力直让人血脉贲张, 睡意全消, 改他们remix作业的结果就是这两周累计5天没有回家, 拿来了全部洗漱用具换洗衣服, 在实验室改得如火如荼. 这个是本学期的小高潮, 留待下篇再书. 这里先说说第八周学生在夹缝中施展创造力的小故事: 这周内容是很弱智的Finale 2008制乐谱, Finale的难用简直是年年有余, 2008版把2007版里面层叠加粘贴功能去掉了, 害得学生只能手动编辑单staff里的多声部. 故事大概就从这里开始, 这周的作业就是把四个MIDI文件, 来自Bach的一首四部合唱用Finale制成两个版本的谱子, 版本一是标准四部和声, 版本二是钢琴谱, 将Soprano和Alto转抄到右手, Tenor和Bass转抄到左手. 执教的Cory要求学生把作曲写成Cory自己, 但允许学生给谱子随便起标题. 这下可好, 学生在这个相对乏味的作业里见缝插针, 产生了以下结果(四部和声标题; 钢琴谱标题):

Harmonization (4 Part); Harmonization (For Piano)
Great Piece; Great Piece
Bach Chorale; Bach Chorale
Corale Core; Corale Core
This was painfully useless...; This was painfully useless V.2
The Busy Bass Line; The Busy Bass Line (Piano Reduction)
A Summer Night's Reckoning; A Summer Night's Reckoning
Musica; Pina-o
Vocalise; Vocalise
A MIDI Masterpiece; A MIDI Masterpiece

assignment 8; assignment 8
Darlene; Darlene
Cory's Chorale; Cory's Chorale
midi choral; midi choral
Assignment 8-1; Assignment 8-2
In the Mood; In the Mood
Chorale; Chorale

我看了忍俊不禁, 总结了一下发给全班以求一笑. (我最喜欢的是"Insert Title Here"那个)

If only one piece of TA experience were desired, doing it at Music Tech would be second to none. On one hand, the course scheme relatively tolerates prank-happy students; On the other hand, they are just bloody brilliant. Reviewing their homework results in my self-volunteered lab-jail for up to 5 days in last two weeks, with all my living necessities prepared. Well, I'm gonna leave this for the sequel. Let's talk about the anecdote of the assignment of Week #8, which is about score-editing with the idiot Finale 2008. Finale's user-unfriendliness rockets up annually. This time Ver. 2008 killed the "pasting multi-parts over layers" that was avaiable in Ver.2007, leaving the students no choice but to edit manually. The assignment was asking the student to import four seperate MIDI files from a 4-part chorale from Bach into Finale, edit them so that two versions of it are avialable as the results: one is the standard SATB and the other is a piano adaptation, with the soprano and alto recombined into the right hand, and the tenor and bass left hand. The instructor Cory required students to name him as the composer on the score, yet allowed them to come up with their own score titles. There it went, people seized the opportunity and created a list of titles as follows:

Harmonization (4 Part); Harmonization (For Piano)
Great Piece; Great Piece
Bach Chorale; Bach Chorale
Corale Core; Corale Core
This was painfully useless...; This was painfully useless V.2
The Busy Bass Line; The Busy Bass Line (Piano Reduction)
A Summer Night's Reckoning; A Summer Night's Reckoning
Musica; Pina-o
Vocalise; Vocalise
A MIDI Masterpiece; A MIDI Masterpiece
Insert Title Here; Insert Title Here

assignment 8; assignment 8
Darlene; Darlene
Cory's Chorale; Cory's Chorale
midi choral; midi choral
Assignment 8-1; Assignment 8-2
In the Mood; In the Mood

Cracked up as I was, I summed them up and sent them back to the class, just for fun. (My favorite is the "Insert Title Here")

この生涯はただ1回のTAもしだけならばをして、 Music Techまで(へ)しにくるのは本当に2選択でないです. 一方では作曲する専門とあちらの比較するこちら(側)の本科の課程は学生に対して比較的ゆったりして、彼らがでたらめにやることを許します; 一方の学生の創造力はずっと人の血管の賁と張を譲って、眠気の全消、彼らのremix宿題の結果を直すのはこの周が5日累計して家に帰っていないので、すべて洗面する用具の取り替えて洗う服を持って来て、実験室で直すのが勢いが激しいです. これはこの学期の小さい高潮で、下編の更に本を後回しにします. ここは先に第8週間の学生がすきまの中で創造力の小さいストーリを発揮すると言います: この内容はとても低い知力Finale です2008は譜をつくって、 Finaleのはまったくですで毎年蓄えがありにくくて、 2008版は2007版の中の階のスーパーインポーズを機能に貼って取り除いて、学生を得て手動が単にstaffの中の多い声部を編集することしかできないことを害します. ストーリの大概はここから、この宿題は4つのMIDIのファイルをで、 Bachからの1首の4冊の合唱はFinaleで２つのバージョンの楽譜を製造して、バージョン1つは標準の4冊の和声、バージョンの2は鋼の楽譜で、 SopranoとAltoを回転して右手まで(へ)書き写して、 TenorとBassは回転して左手まで(へ)書き写します. 教鞭を執るCoryは学生に作曲することをCory自分に書くように求めて、しかし学生が楽譜に気軽に見出しが起きることを許します. 今回折よく、学生はこの比較的味気ない宿題の中であらゆる可能性を利用して、以下の結果(4冊の和声の見出し; 鋼の楽譜の見出し)を生みました:

Harmonization (4 Part); Harmonization (For Piano)
Great Piece; Great Piece
Bach Chorale; Bach Chorale
Corale Core; Corale Core

私はこらえきれずに笑うことを見て、総括して全体のクラスを交付します笑うこととをねらいます. (わたしはその"Insert Title Here"が大好きです!)

Patti Smith keynote conversaion at Pop & Policy

Sat, 06 Oct 2007 05:36:59 GMT

Time: 4pm

Place: Tanna Schulich Hall

Characters: Patti Smith, John Nichols, Sandy Pearlman

Awesome talk on the Pop & Policy conference at our dept., even better than the Joni Mitchell talk.

Patti is such an authentic and consistent artist. I used up the space on my cam and then went on with my pen and notepad.

Some quotes: (Kakyo: the internet stuff was aroused by an audience question "I heard that you are against putting up music onto the internet", she responded "wooh, where did u hear it from? it's quite the opposite!")

I have no desire to manipulate anybody. Live is about the artists and the audience creating the night together, with mutual communication, collective trust. It's love.
The night with Bob Dylan, it's not about a duet, it's about a boy and a girl singing together. and then.... he kissed me:) Someone captured it and had it on Youtube for free, and I became momentarily in love with the little thing (Kakyo: digicam).
Internet is a cool club. But I'm just the dinasour who has to walk slowly, as long as there are still green leaves to eat.
I hate sports, and I don't like the internet either. But since they exist, I have to be compassionate and learn about them.
Rock is probably one of the few nice things that America gave the world.
I don't mind downloading but I hate my work being tampered, hate sampling and someone using my voice and distort it for their own purposes. As artists we have already been fucked up enough, we should at least have this little respect.
I don't give a fxxk if they pay or not. I just feel happy about the 2 million comments on my Myspace page while my records were sold much less than that! It's amazing~

Shopping

Wed, 20 Jun 2007 00:37:08 GMT

For once, I decided not to cold-shoulder Chinese festivals as always.

Bought an alarm radio clock at Source for mom, after her sustained requests for 3 years. This $30 RCA model is actually quite neat. It's often an irresistible temptation to stuff in fancy/ridiculous functions at the cost of ignorance of major UI flaws (take a look at all those crap MP3 players and software such as iTunes and Windows Media Player). Fortunately, the manufacturer of this clock made notable efforts in its interface and several long-missing features, such as "nap" (setting up a countdown alarm before you can enjoy your nap for up to 2 hours), are finally implemented. Such an easy function takes the cake, which I don't understand why giant companies like Sony never incorporated this tiny little feature into their $80 lines. The volume of the alarm is unadjustable but designed to be fade-in style. I think this is not necessarily a drawback because A, you don't really need a full scale of variable volume for this, and B, limited volume choices might not fit everybody (you could lose a date if the "soft" one turned out to be a whisper). Instead, a fade-in first allows you a few seconds for fighting your reluctance and then starts to show no mercy. Makes perfect sense to me. Another simple achievement is the "forward" and "backward" buttons. Surprisingly, this component for time setting scheme has been an idiosyncratic domain where not every model would agree upon what this RCA model and millions of MP3 players choose to do: use two and only two buttons. A short press makes a slow go and you get a fast run when you hold the buttons. Simple as that, even an $80 Sony one doesn't have it!

I do have to say that using one single LED screen for displaying both time and radio frequency is a good try, but here in the RCA model only when the time-setting mode is at the "current time" can the frequency tuning be viewable. If you are in the middle of setting your alarms and you wanna tune the radio, you'll be blinded to your radio tuning behavior by the alarm view unless you switch back to the "current time" mode. This is obviously a bug, though it's somewhat durable because I can hear the radio and that has been what most of us would rely upon during tuning back in the analog age. Aside from all these you have the time-zone switch, an LED intensity dimmer, as commonly seen in a few more recent models. In terms of garbage features, I'd say the "Aux" function has pathetically fallen into this category and quite ironically, it is the only feature I would complain about. I thought this was going to be an exciting iPod-ish idea, which could allow you to plug in your external music players, whatever it is, and make your own music collection selectable audio material for the radio alarm mode. I was dead wrong. They actually just want the radio to be able to play a speaker.... Well, it's my fault to expect too much from my $30 investment ....- -|| But anyways, I was quite happy about this purchase and I believe my mom will like it just as I do.

Just the moment I was stepping out of the door of Source, a backward glance earned me a gift for myself, a neck massaging pillow, for only $10! It uses 2 AA batteries, and you can carry this small little baby everywhere. Recommended for computer parasites like me. Unfortuately it was the last item they had. But I seriously need it. My neck has been giving me trouble every few weeks.

Then for a voltage converter I went to an electronics store run by indians. We had a pleasant talk there. One of them claimed that he truly hopes China could take over the world so that poor people can get what they deserve. They then cite an example that many socalled Sony earphones are actually garbage worth only 5 bucks, but if they are not made in China, they are sold for 30 bucks. Well, I have to admit it made me happy to hear such words but still, I feel sympathy for the Chinese manual labors and their families, who pay for innocent foreign compliments like this with their living in hell....

baseball

Mon, 11 Jun 2007 01:31:02 GMT

Went out for a walk after dinner. Came across a baseball practice game in the open park nearby. It was actually my first time watching a real-world baseball game, before which all my motives and knowledge of baseball was from <Touch> and <H2>. The audience were french-speaking, so the familiar Japanese voices (of course the fine soundtrack that occupies my baseball memories, too) were nowhere to be found. The major eyeball attractions of these baseball Animes, the smooth three-outs and life-saving homeruns, proved to be mostly artistic exaggerations. Homerun is no easy cake. Today I saw two promising hits that did make the ball fly high. Unfortunately they all ended up getting intercepted by the outfielders. But I saw a very agile base-stealing, which seemed to have been left untouched in those two classic Animes.

Summer is right here. Dandelions were mailing their numerous tiny white parachutes on the evening breeze. They traveled all the way across the baseball field in the air, passing through the pitcher, the batter, the catcher, and everybody on the site, who were freezing, intensely waiting for the next exciting move.

Ahhhhhhhh, why wasn't my camera with me??!!!!!

坂井泉水也死了

Tue, 29 May 2007 01:14:28 GMT

短期内又一个红颜薄命,

高一刚听MH/日之韵的时候还是很注意了坂井的声音,

加上人又低调就更是喜欢. 但真一听专辑也没有抢的欲望,

曰一成不变的80's guitar pop.

一眨眼40岁, 又这么低调地遁去了,

传说因为早知道疾病缠身就没有再试图大发展, 也可信吧.

三米的台阶上坠下,

随意地死去,

就算说是自愿, 也不是不可以.

更多人都愿意高声为热血辩护,

但谁也不知道艺人是何般孤寂, 何般渴望逝去.

"特别是当你没有灵感的时候",

不知怎得突然想起N年前看到郑钧一电视访谈里说的,

生活的灵感, 我猜.

傻姑(2)

Thu, 10 May 2007 21:56:23 GMT

我只知道傻姑之前喜欢同一首港台口水歌放上/哼上50遍.

今天回家居然听到放suede和travis, 跟唱音准还颇不错.

suede的还是<dog man star>! 跳跃太大了...

完全无法承受.

不过dog man star倒是蛮合衬做hikikomori国歌的.

恶搞广告一则

Tue, 13 Feb 2007 05:20:43 GMT

搬家了,

(1) 概况

房租恶便宜, 家具齐全, 还有不少附加值比如字幕电视,

如此性价比放到7月/9月也是不可能的事吧.

但新apt是个很怪异的地方, 我叫它古墓.

跟v94比起来, 更合我原本的胃口. nostalgic.

房子大且空旷, 公共储藏室就有三个之多, 每个都很大.

卧室走廊里没有窗. 我房间也没有窗, 采光为零,

早上8-9点醒来感觉像半夜. 这种环境下看<6 feet under>气氛十足.

炉头还是典型的半死不活, 不过有个抽油烟机.

房子不太隔音, 比v94有过之无不及,

可以很清楚地听到隔壁傻姑孜孜不倦的键盘声.

(2) 墓友

墓友甲, 傻姑, 就是射雕里那位, 忘记了请参考我隔壁, 立马能想起来.

十分pp的一江浙人士, 但.. 算我第一个见到的纯种御宅族, 主要特征如下:

声称从不出门.
吃一律叫外卖. 从不下厨.
热水壶不买, 用汤锅装水放炉头上炉火打到低温当热水壶.
8am - 11pm在屋内耕耘键盘还时不时念念有辞, 估计不是网游就是聊天.
常带耳塞.
离开卧室的唯一理由是wc和烧水.
每次出屋都有脚麻症状, 怪叫声不绝于耳.

原先以为自己是比较宅的, 在傻姑面前完全无语,

这也让我松了口气, 一来宅人实际上是最好相处的人类,

另外,

跟我都是喜欢出声的物种, 根据这两天的情况, 相安无事, 很好.

墓友乙丙, 七年役的北方小夫妻, 发条人士,

早7点出门, 晚9点半睡觉.

(3) 其他

不隔音的日子要追忆至大四下铺赌钱我在上铺听darkwave的时候,

现在一下子回来了, 很亲切, 很气持.

***

新apt完全实行资本主义私有制,

想想v94后期那些乱78糟的问题,

在特殊历史条件下私有制才是王道啊.

花了一笔小钱添置厨具,

晚上庆祝搬家做了红烧肉, 没买老抽只有生抽,

没颜色, 不过味道很棒,

发条二人组闻香而来在我盛情邀请之下居然硬不吃,

sigh, 能这样私有倒也让人安心.

(4) 后期活动

catherine快毕业了, 她是基督徒,

昨天跟她去了礼拜, 也许是太老派,

觉得已经无法接受当代基督教青春向的礼拜活动,

福音吉他团领唱换了圣经缩写版的流行情歌,

一屋子奥林匹克气氛.

我还是更适合天主教模式, 三两人的地方,

脚步声, 琴声, 初期反射和混响一束束袭来.

英文的reflection是个非常棒的多义词,

几乎完美地描述了天主教堂的感觉.

catherine每次都会带个大美女来, 这次也不例外,

这一来也认识了不少台湾pp女博, 咔咔.

头天晚上在六艺学社社长邀请下去oscar peterson hall看了场东方音乐演出,

路上邂逅三个夹funk团的本地小伙子, 欣然同路,

能把中国的老N件搬上这边的台面还是不容易的事情. 可惜在缺乐器的情况下令人发指地

用了不知什么地方找的new age bgm, 还没有消主奏乐器的声的样子, 不得不听到那"熟悉"的

长期出现在新版眼保健操里的FM音色, 如坐针毡. 可能是语言和经验问题, 几位中国学生乐手

也没有很好地给观众铺垫介绍乐器知识, 没有下功夫传道, 后面几位南亚/西亚乐手就要圆润得多,

话说到位了再上手练.

华人方面比较好的是女筝手chou chih-lin和康大电子原音的kevin austin教授合作的一首 (在后面一首中筝弦被重新调校成12平均律, 感觉非常不同, 想起了42弦picasso吉他的味道),

austin的各种锣手法和电声严丝合缝, 我瞪大眼睛想找哪里有传感器和动作捕捉什么的, 后来

才明白全是人力brute force, austin是凭作曲之身熟记了所有的cue以达到完全同步.

austin十分严肃地说, 我根本听不懂中国乐器, 完全不明白那种声音是一种什么东西. 所以当中国乐手非常可爱地建议配和声的时候, austin选择用噪音来应和中国乐器的旋律线, 聪明的做法.

后面的伊朗Setar即兴, 南印度铃鼓手Ganesh Anandan的7种武器即兴都令人对这些不起眼

的乐器有了新目光. Anandan的几种尺寸材质各异的特制铃鼓令左右手拍/摇/拨/刮/擦/敲等等手法各显神通, 印度敲击的噪音/乐音混合音响, 性之所至的人声念奏,

加上脚底砂纸的另一重节拍, 无疑是场上的火药, 比较合西人胃口, 当然, 还有我, 特别喜欢他的

刮擦技法, 以前在中学考试时候就很喜欢用指甲刮试卷来达到drum & bass的感觉, 而且也

毫不怀疑标准dnb类似声响的灵感就源于指与纸的交流, 现在在铃鼓技法中听到正统表演,

真的是很激动, 很释然.

Trevor Pinch: 60-70's合成器历史

如同windows和unix之争一样, 当年也有Moog和Buchla的战争. Moog的启用keyboard作为UI的重要决策和Buchla坚持用旋钮布线追求total control. 于是结果和OS战场是相似的, Moog成为了改变老百姓生活的大英雄, Buchla成为geek和avant-garde小小众精神领袖.
beach boys是记载中使用moog第一人("good vibrations"). 但有趣的是, 这首歌的录音室版本用的其实是更先锋的theremin, 只是因为现场调试操作难度太大怕搞砸, 于是机缘巧合之下live用了moog, 就此粉墨.
moog本人对自己的合成器被beatles们搞成迷幻乐专用设备十分郁闷. 他原先的想法仅仅是和早期合成器实践者的一样简单: 让电子管能演奏巴赫.
女键盘手的历史可以追溯到moog / buchla时代, 最终成为文化. 合成器也成了流行界女性virtuoso的一把尖刀.极端例子参见Belinda Bedkovic.
Star Wars是第一部使用合成器的电影.
伴随日本合成器/游戏产业的倾销, 模拟合成器之声停留在吾等脑海成为meme, 周期性卷土重来.
合成器模糊了流行与古典, 音乐与噪声, 科学与艺术的结界.
合成器的历史是一种声音的产生, 存储, 传递, 重建, 消费的运动.
