Sepia Hours 是比利时音乐人Sébastien Biset的solo project名称, 这是他在2004年发行的首张专集.
相比之前推荐的pillow和sweek, 它就显得太朴素了点.
封面让我想起了冰岛乐队Leaves的Breathe …

Becoming, 吉他, 人声, 缓缓步近…
然后陷入他精心营造的冷清氛围中
也许, 冬天 从未离开过.

I had to centre all my ideas and desires into 7 tracks without falling back on the too brazen sound impulses that do not contribute to a coherent whole. Having privileged the musical aspect with the detriment of any experimentation, it appears however that research on the voice had come to a dispersion of the words in certain pieces. Words become echoes, they appear and disappear again, the voice always somewhere between singing and whisper mixed with the guitar airs and electronic lines. As the title evokes, this session of recording went through many steps (personally as well as musically), various climates (what justifies a progression of the atmospheres on this Ep). Sepia hours is a base for possible deepening and future musical wandering… Between guitar, objects (acoustic) of kinds and computer, between attempts, unavoidable errors, emotion (I do hope so..) and passion..

Radio. blog上放了他的Becoming 和 Summer’s End 两首; 同时更新的还有John Williams 为电影 ‘Memoirs Of A Geisha (艺伎回忆录)’ 写的原声. (可由blog顶端的 page =>radio blog进入)

亚洲题材的电影原声中, 坂本龙一的 ‘末代皇帝’ 的确是永远的经典. JW在’艺伎’这张专集中处处流露出致敬的意思 – 第三首Going To School痕迹最为明显, 和坂本的Picking Up Brides几乎是同一个模子倒出来的 – 也许JW有更大的野心也未可知.

事实就是这样讽刺 : 无论Memoirs Of A Geisha 的制作人员花了多少心思在美工和配乐方面, 最后造成话题的却是些非艺术性的东西. 对脑子里面全是粪便的人来说, 无论眼前是什么他也只能看到一堆粪便. 我对这个女演员一贯印象不怎么样, 不过只要是有注意过拍摄过程的人, 都能看到她作为一个专业演员的付出和努力. 相比那些抓住几张假剧照就抹黑整部电影的龌龊小人, 不由得对她开始改观. ‘自信就是嚣张’, 某些人的想法还真够阴暗… 离Memoirs Of A Geisha 全球正式公演的日子不远了, 究竟是超级大制作还是劣等意淫片, 到时便知道.
