我不是个电子乐尤其是实验性音乐的fans,
尤其近些年越来越倒退,电脑里面放的mp3年纪小于20岁的已经不多了。但是最近清理硬盘从一个旮旯里面找出来的Matmos
2006年这个专辑还是把我震倒了,...通过专辑的十首歌,这个双人电子乐团雄心勃勃的为10位著名的同性恋画像 - 用音乐(Audio
Portrait)。主人公包括哲学家维特根斯坦(专辑的名字来自他的著作),建造天鹅堡的月亮王路德维希二世(据说他的恋人是瓦格纳?),"天才雷普
利"的原作者Patricia Highsmith,先锋录音师/制作人Joe Meek,枪击安迪沃霍尔并但只判了三年的女权主义者Valerie
Solanas等等。十首作品风格迥异,有抓拍,有工笔,有古典写实,有立体派风格,有叙事,有朗诵...
光是这个创意就让人栽一个跟头,继而探寻这十个主人公的生平和猜测每首歌的创意及表现就成了一件非常诱惑的事情,搞笑的比如说Banquet For
King Ludwid II, 据说表现的是一则轶事-这位国王不小心吃了他养的马的晚饭;同样叙事的Rag for William
Burroughs前半部分表现的是这位<赤裸午餐>的作者在墨西哥的一场猜酒游戏中枪杀了妻子,并经历了一场离奇诉讼之后开始将经历写成小
说的事情 -
后半部分没听懂;作家Highsmith的那首则是完全的情绪渲染,以此来营造她的名著《火车上的陌生人》和《天才雷普利》中的紧张气氛。向点题作者维特
根斯坦致敬的"Roses and Teeth For Ludwig Wittgenstein"
,则堪称一幅表现主义绘画,混入鹅,海狸,牛,羊等等动物的叫声和磕牙齿(?)的声音的打击乐做背景,一干人声缓缓念出了这古怪标题后面维特根斯坦的逻
辑:"Why, suppose one were to say: the cow chews its food and then dungs
the rose with it, so the rose has teeth in the mouth of a beast",恍如梦魇。维特根斯坦曾经说过:"语言的边界,是我世界的边界", Matmos则是混杂了让人目瞪口呆的各种声音元素组成了一幅超越语言边界的人像拼图。
多说几句路德维希·维特根斯坦,他被称作把现代哲学方法“推进到决定性转折的第一人",是语言哲学的代表人物,该哲学流派在20世纪深刻影响了从心
理学到逻辑学再到计算机科学的各种学科,相比其不朽成就,此人的传奇生平更是八卦的绝好原型,生于1889卒于1951,父亲是钢铁巨头,曾被封为伯爵但

个民族国家,从此这一地区再无宁日。与那个时代的一般人相比,具有犹太血统的家族注定还有更多的痛苦要承受 -

出了如此多的哲学家,思想家,和具备哲学思考的文学家 -
哥德尔(就是那个提出残忍的哥德尔不完备定理的终结者),哈耶克,波普尔,卡夫卡,茨威格...,也催生出了很多怪胎 -
比如说希特勒,他曾是维特根斯坦的同班同学。维特根斯坦的人生轨迹像同时代很多名人一样,早年学习工程和数学,志愿参加一战,战场上完成了那部让哲学语言
“决定性转折”的<逻辑哲学论>,战后怀着"哲学问题已经全都解决了,需要寻找新的人生"的理想投入教学改革运动做小学教师并过着苦修生活,
但是终不为俗世所容被迫离开(想起了传教的梵高,守驿馆的王阳明等一干神明了?),在走了园丁,建筑师等一大圈弯路之后重新对哲学产生兴趣,二战前到了英

的节节胜利自杀于黎明前,维本人参加一战的理由据说也是为了"体面的自杀"...
最后,去除考据癖和掉书袋的瘾,即使一点不去关注八卦故事,这个古怪名字的专辑还是非常讨好耳朵的 - 这才是Matmos的过人之处,实验并不难,实验还有八卦潜质并且还绕梁三日才是最难最难的啊。如果你确实想看更多八卦,请点这里.
