一支臺灣的樂團,整張專輯用日文寫、用日文唱,今年剛好成團第十年。團名取自「ゲシュタルト崩壊」——一個漢字盯久了就不認得它了;一支臺灣樂團用日語寫十年的歌,這個命名比宣傳文案誠實。十一首排成一天的弧線:破曉出發,穿過深夜的孤獨,落在一個很輕的夏夜。掛名的人幾乎是日本獨立圈的名冊:the band apart 的荒井嶽史、アカシック 的奧脅達也、The Birthday 的フジイケンジ、ex-赤い公園 的歌川菜穗,主打曲〈星〉的聲音製作交給高野勲,母帶是浦本雅史。樂團說這張的出發點是「勞動賦予人格主體性」——一個聽起來像論文題目的命題,最後被做成了一張關於作息的唱片。

Breath is listed as an instrument here, alongside strings, woodwind, harmonium and pedal steel, and once you know that you cannot stop hearing the room take air together before a swell. Five improvisations, nearly an hour, none of them written down beforehand. The long one at the end, 〈Camden Suite〉, runs about twenty-six minutes and carries the honest credit "Rearticulated by zakè" — the label's founder went back into the live material afterwards and rebuilt it. A live album finished at an editing desk. 錄在 Camden 的 The Jazz Cafe,日子選在一月的「Blue Monday」——那個由行銷話術造出來、後來被挪進心理健康討論的日子。五首全即興,將近一小時;編制寫著弦樂、木管、簧風琴、踏板鋼棒吉他,另外把呼吸聲也當成一件樂器來處理。壓軸的〈Camden Suite〉約二十六分鐘,標題後面老實註明「Rearticulated by zakè」:現場素材事後被廠牌主理人重新剪過一遍。一張現場碟,最後有一半是在剪接臺上完成的。

Eight songs from a Fukuoka trio, their first nationally distributed album after three singles. The record opens with a track called 〈最高気温は31℃〉 — today's high is thirty-one degrees — and closes with 〈反射する水面の中で〉, inside the reflecting surface of the water. Heat at one end, water at the other, and shoegaze in between doing what shoegaze does about the distance. 福岡三人編制,2022 年組團,此前只發過三首單曲。廠牌 HIMITSU レーベル 是福岡大名那家 Live House「秘密」自己開的,這支團就是從店裡的常駐演出長出來的,第一張全國流通盤發在自家廠牌——場所養出廠牌,廠牌再把自家常客送出去。八首曲子,開場叫〈最高気溫は31℃〉,收尾叫〈反射する水面の中で〉。

Two instruments and no third party: bass saxophone and Scottish smallpipes, recorded by Jonas Verwijnen in a room called The End of the World, mixed by Stetson and mastered in Montreal. The weave is the whole design. On 〈Dirt Dance〉, released back in July, Stetson is on the F mezzo soprano saxophone and the pipes hold a drone that refuses to move, so the melodic line has to keep finding its way back to a pulse it never quite leaves. Chaimbeul's fingering carries the tune while Stetson's circular breathing supplies the floor, and then, without ceremony, they swap. The label's Bandcamp page lists three tags, one of which is simply "smallpipes" — a filing decision that tells you where the record thinks it lives, and it isn't under folk. 低音薩克斯與蘇格蘭小風笛,兩件樂器,沒有第三個人。收音在一間叫 The End of the World 的錄音室,Stetson 自己混,母帶回蒙特婁做。先行曲〈Dirt Dance〉七月底就放出來了,Stetson 說他用的是 F 調 mezzo soprano 薩克斯,與風笛的持續音互相繞——那首確實是繞,兩條線在同一個脈動上分開又合起來。Bandcamp 的標籤只掛三個,其中一個直接寫 smallpipes:廠牌自己把那件樂器當成賣點,而沒有把它收進 folk 這個抽屜。

A programme built outward from one evening: 10 June 1865, the premiere of Tristan und Isolde. Journaux made the Wagner transcriptions herself — the potion scene from Act I, Brangäne's warning from Act II — and then let the aftershocks fill the rest of the disc: Zemlinsky's four Dehmel fantasies, the prelude to Schreker's Die Gezeichneten, Pierrot's dance song out of Korngold's Die tote Stadt. The one borrowed hand is Berg's, whose piano version of the Gurre-Lieder prelude she plays rather than making her own. Her line on late Romanticism is that it muddied clear water. She then spends seventy minutes in the mud, happily. 曲目單以一個日期為震央:1865 年 6 月 10 日,《特里斯坦與伊索爾德》首演。華格納那兩段——第一幕的藥酒場景、第二幕布蘭甘特的警告——都是她親手改的鋼琴版;整張唯獨荀白克《古雷之歌》前奏曲用的不是她的手筆,而是貝爾格的改編。她說後浪漫主義把清澈的水攪渾了,然後花了一整張碟待在那攤渾水裡。

Nineteen years old, eighteen months of work, eight string parts moving at once. Enescu emptied himself into this octet and then watched Édouard Colonne pull it from the programme after five rehearsals as too risky, which kept it off concert stages for the better part of a decade. The first movement runs twelve minutes and is marked Très modéré, a tempo direction that sounds like restraint and functions as a dare. The quintet beside it is earlier still, student work from Paris, and it is worth hearing what four years of nerve did to him. 恩奈斯庫寫這首八重奏時十九歲,為總譜磨了一年半。首演排了五次,經紀人 Édouard Colonne 以「太冒險」為由把它撤出節目單,此後近十年沒有人演。同場那首鋼琴五重奏更早,是他巴黎音樂院學生時代的作品。四個樂章的速度標記各走各的路,第三樂章標 Lentement,慢下來的地方才聽得出他把自己寫空了多少。

The kologo is a two-string gourd lute from northern Ghana. Adrian Sherwood's mixing desk is a piece of English dub apparatus with forty years of echo on it. Nobody here pretends the gap between them is small. Eight tracks went down live in a single afternoon in Ramsgate; Doug Wimbish of Living Colour plays bass on 〈Ndelange-Taba〉 and 〈Nkaase〉, Ivan Hussey on the rest, and Alan Glenn adds harmonica to 〈Property〉. Listen for what Sherwood does to the handclaps — they arrive dry and leave the room three seconds later. 製作人是 On-U Sound 的 Adrian Sherwood,八首正曲在他 Ramsgate 的棚裡一個下午全程 live 錄完。〈Ndelange-Taba〉與〈Nkaase〉的貝斯請了 Living Colour 的 Doug Wimbish,〈Property〉多了一把口琴。葫蘆絃琴與 dub 混音臺之間的距離,這張碟沒有試圖抹平。
