简介: 『卧室音乐人?』Wring Out Laura在如此严峻的时间与哀恸中完成了「Flame Thrower」专辑,褪去无意义的曲风定位,焚烧灰烬中新生的Wring Out Laura重新审视实验电子的美学底蕴,跳脱地域限制慢慢磨出反映时代且足够深刻的创作哲学。
实验音乐(Experimental music)不只是撷取声响拼贴。必须先彻底熟悉素材,再进行拣选与运用,以细致精巧的本质与别具魅力的前卫样貌屡屡打量听众。《Brontides》的提取无常与演绎如常、《Signs》从一连串的摸索中找到定位并且送行、《没有你 Feat. April Red 红》独树一格的情感捕捉与理性思辩。整张专辑精巧利用平衡和冲突交错堆栈,听觉暂留的残响促使听众对于声音有了更多的渴求。
电子音乐(Electronic music)的印象,刚好反映出这张专辑的相反思路,首波单曲《Willow Feat. ALFA 》对逝者的思念、在《She's Dead Feat. Kalabebe》中看到面对死亡的思考、还有《Reincarnate Feat. 周穆》对轮回与生命议题的总结。正如同专辑名「Flame Thrower」所想表达的一样,在冷冽的电子声响、与环境音取样中也可以达到电子音乐所没有的高温。《God Particle》、《Are You Hoping For a Miracle?》、《Having No Fun Feat. Epiphany 吴承瑾》之中,温柔与暴力的相互呼应。更彰显了专辑中的思想与冲突,炙热与情感。
感染力、煽动性、癫狂燃烧这三大主轴组成了「Flame Thrower」,宇宙、神、生命这三大题目也定位了「Flame Thrower」,略显失真的音色已经成为了本专辑最有代表的声音名片。对于害怕停滞不前的近几年,总想求新求变的Wring Out Laura,在首张专辑『Medic』发行后疫情混乱的这两年,世界的变动和压力,思考生命与信仰的目的,诠释了艺术的永恒仅是通往未来的某个接点。
『我们总是思考这些的意义是什么,活着究竟是科学还是信仰所导致的,如果真有神他是善良的还是邪恶的?他是怎么样的一个存在,如果这世界没有意识,那由谁来观测这个宇宙?想着想着也就忘了自己到底是什么了。』
“Bedroom artist?” Wring Out Laura completed his album, Flame Thrower in such grim and sorrowful times. Removing the meaningless genre positioning, Wring Out Laura rose from the ashes and reexamined the aesthetics of experimental electronic music, meanwhile breaking out of the territorial restrictions and defining a philosophy that is a profound embodiment of the age that we live in.
Experimental music is not just about snipping and piecing together sounds. One must know their materials well, then proceed with selecting and utilizing the materials. Only then can one captivate the listeners with the delicate essence and refined presence of experimental music. “Brontides” extracts the impermanence of life and interprets the permanence; “Signs” guides you on a search for positioning and then comes departure; “没有你 Feat. April Red 红” uniquely speculates sense and captures sensibility. This album is a clash between balance and conflicts. The resonance of sounds leaves the listeners yearning more.
This album is the exact opposite of the usual perception of electronic music. The first single “Willow Feat. ALFA” expresses the loving thoughts for the deceased; “She’s Dead Feat. Kalabebe” is thought-provoking around issues regarding death; “Reincarnate Feat. 周穆” summarizes issues around life and reincarnation. Just like the name of the album, Flame Thrower, samples of electronic and ambient sounds can ignite scorching flames. “God Particle”, “Are You Hoping For a Miracle?”, and “Having No Fun Feat. Epiphany 吴承瑾” demonstrate the correspondence between tenderness and violence, and further establishes the thoughts, the conflicts, the heat, and the emotions within the album.
Infectivity, Incitation, and Madness are the three core aspects of Flame Thrower. Universe, God, and Life are the three topics that defined Flame Thrower. It’s as if the slightly distorted tone of the album has become a business card that’s in the form of sounds. Seeking change and innovation 2 years after the release of his first album Medic, Wring Out Laura pondered the meaning of change, pressure, life, and religion during the recent affrighted and stagnant years. Under the chaos of the pandemic, he decided to interpret the permanence of art as a junction to the future.
“We’ve always pondered the meaning of everything. Are we alive for science or religion? If there really is a God looking over us, is He good or evil? What sort of being is God? If there is no conscious on earth, who will be watching over this universe? It seems that we gradually forget who we really are as we contemplate these questions.”
