原文標題:Brandt Brauer Frick:出自德國 勝於德國
Brandt Brauer Frick《You Make Me Real》
在眼花繚亂的專輯列表中,這張唱片的封面一下就控制了我的注意力,典型的簡約派設計,看起來更像是一個產品設計,這個世界上只有德國人最擅長於此。果然不出意料,這就是三個德國佬組成的樂隊Brandt Brauer Frick。沒有吉他,沒有貝斯,取而代之的是電子鼓、老式合成器、蘋果筆記本和電鋼琴,這甚至都不是一支電子樂隊,儼然已經接近了先鋒音樂。
在2009年他們還沒有發行專輯的時候,他們在德國當代古典音樂節上就已技驚四座,令全場的觀眾和同行瞠目結舌。他們在臺上的著裝根本不像一支在表演的樂隊:整齊的髮髻、鋥亮的皮鞋、商務精英式的西裝,整個過程也不苟言笑,但卻演奏出了比德國電子樂鼻祖Kraftwerk更簡約的音樂,當時就給觀眾形成了巨大的視覺衝擊。
在這張接近60分鐘的專輯裡,你幾乎找不到一個興奮點,大部分音樂都是用反覆的Loop鋪墊的,中間又穿插著不斷變化的電鋼琴和合成器,你找不到這種音樂的來源,完全像是從另一個宇宙發出的聲響。樂隊給出的解釋是,他們是一群爵士和古典樂迷,並且熱衷於製造人們沒有聽到過的聲音。在音樂風格上他們深得極簡先鋒怪才Joha Cage的精髓,沒有一首歌給人拖沓之感,雖然波瀾不驚,卻都能讓人邊聽邊讚嘆精妙之處。Brandt Brauer Frick的出現似乎讓德國的電子樂出現了一個斷代,雖然依然保留著德國在電子樂領域的嚴謹傳統,但他們的音樂在德國似乎沒有出處可尋。早在2009年的時候,著名說唱歌手Kanye West就在自己的博客上放過一首Brandt Brauer Frick的MV,這首歌就是《Bop》,並對樂隊讚不絕口。
這張專輯的聽眾會呈現出一個兩級分化,聽得懂的幾乎是被徹底徵服,把Brandt Brauer Frick視作當代電子樂的異類;聽不懂就會唾之以沫,認為這是在故弄玄虛,所以在國外,他們是一個爭議巨大的樂隊。即使你對他們毫無興趣,但當你看過他們的MV《Caffeine》後,你也會被他們震撼。這也是我見過的,最能代表科技工業時代下人類生活狀態的動畫作品——生活在井然有序中變得無聊至極。
這張唱片的配樂樂器達到了10種之多,除了在開文中提到的幾樣外,還包括大提琴、中提琴、小提琴、古豎琴、長號等,所以這根本不是一張電子樂唱片,用一個裝逼的新詞,「泛先鋒樂」或許更準確一些。如果把這張電子樂拿給一個電子樂的入門歌迷,他會束手無策,因為這張專輯詭異到無調性,甚至很多地方根本無旋律可言,還大範圍的運用了管弦樂的編制錄製;熱愛舞池文化的你,也會極度失望,「太沒勁」,甚至你會認為它有助於催眠。Brandt Brauer Frick對於歌迷的各種態度似乎都已經習以為常,他們在試圖打破常規的音樂調式,德國人的執著個性在樂隊身上被顯露無疑。
德國人用幾十年的時間確立了自己在世界電子樂的領先地位。從Kraftwerk誕生開始,德國人就給現代電子音樂注入了嚴謹的血液,所以身邊大部分到德國留學的朋友都或多或少的經歷過幾次當地的電子音樂節,沒有過多瘋狂的舞池舉動,舞池裡甚至有剛從辦公室裡下班拎著公文包的商務人士,就像Brandt Brauer Frick在臺上的著裝一樣。國家性格或者叫民族性格在很大程度上影響著本國的藝術性格。在世界上,德國的電子樂和日本的電影是兩個最能體現民族特性的載體。所以我們不得不感嘆德國佬,這樣的電子樂永遠都將打上Made In Germany的商標。

ACTS
BRANDT BRAUER FRICK | 德國
Brandt Brauer Frick通過對特製鋼琴、電顫琴、鼓、各種打擊樂器、銅管樂器、弦樂器、低音吉他和先關的合成器的應用,這個三重奏組合賦予了他們的作品Steve Reich的感覺,有時候還會有些Old School的loop techno風格。大膽的實驗加上作品的深度,複雜化的同時又推崇與之衝突的極簡主義,除了個別電子樂器的疊加,他們所要表現的,更多的是最原始的聲音, 低音鼓也不例外。
Brandt Brauer Frick成功結合了club和音樂廳的多重風格,不管在哪個舞臺上,他們都能充分地展現自己,通過對古典樂器的無害使用,傳遞出用具有衝擊力和力量的聲音。
他 們的首張 EP《Iron Man》發行於 2009 年 8 月,之後還分別發行了單曲《Wallah/Button》和《 Bop/Paino Shakur》。首張專輯《You make me real》也已於 2010年11月發行。2011年,第二張專輯《Mr. Machine》也在德國發行並廣受好評。

For this year’s edition of the China Drifting Festival the German avant-garde band Brandt Brauer Frick (BBF) will work out a collaboration with the outstanding Chinese musician Huzi and the band Re-TROS from Beijing. Huzi, the man behind the Beijing band Pet Conspiracy, is one of the leading figures in pop and alternative music in China since the early 90ies. Hua Dong and his band Re-TROS, are one of the most renowned bands of the Chinese indie scene. The German trio rehearsed with the Chinese musicians in Berlin and will play live on stage together with them. The performance together with Huzi and Re-TROS will be a sensation not only in China, but also in Europe.
BRANDT BRAUER FRICK | DE
Brandt Brauer Frick (BBF) from Berlin have made a name for themselves producing techno without technology, using classical instruments in preference to synthesizers and computers. For Brandt Brauer Frick, the drums, strings and pianos that have long been the bedrock of Western music, serve as the common thread between the classical past and their techno present. But while devoted to the rich tones and timbres of orchestral instrumentation, the German trio’s rousing tracks are rhythmically focused and rendered with the mechanical precision of four-to-the floor club tracks. Their singular vision of acoustic dance music springs to life in their engaging live performances.

NONE OF THEM | CH
The Swiss band None Of Them from Zurich makes music for the twenty-second century. The duo is constantly deconstructing its stylistic boundaries and follows traditions only to destroy them.
On stage, Signup is the master of ceremony, Michal Ho the selector. Vocals flow over bass-heavy beats and guitars – generated in little boxes full of flashing lights – sometimes smoothly, sometimes it all cuts you as sharp as a razor. The music ranges from bassy raps to gothic rock, from abstract hip hop to heavy electronica. Some might call it nu wave or ugly pop, an older generation might recognize a fresh take on the crossover genre of the late eighties and early nineties.
www.miro-china.ch/en/view/article/artists/244/none-of-them
It’s not only the rights of statues the three Chinese musicians would like to rebuild, but especially the lost authenticity of music. The band mixes a rather minimalistic game with catchy melodies. The result could be best described as a renovation of Post-Punk combined with Synthesizers. And whoever works with Brian Eno on his debut EP knows how to surprise the audience over and over.
Formed in 2003 by singer/guitarist Hua Dong and, singer/bassist Liu Min, Re-TROS soon became a sizzling band in Beijing. Re-TROS, see themselves as a return to a lost authenticity, want to embrace the basic values from the bygone post-punk era. Once you take the first sip of Re-TROS music, you will find it easily they are inspired by the 70s post-punk ancestors like Bauhaus, Joy Division and Gang of Four. Their music is a renewal of post-punk which incorporated with synthesizers and evocative melodies.
Hua Dong credits bands like Bauhaus, Joy Division, Television, Pere Ubu, Blond Redhead, Modest Mouse, and the Futureheads among his greatest influences, and acknowledges the incongruities of developing their music in a Chinese environment.
