johannes linstead
简介
乐器演奏家Johannes Linstead不是一个容易归类的艺术家。有些听众曾把这位非电吉他弹奏者创作的咄咄逼人、影响深远的专辑描述为new age音乐（虽然他比代表性的著名new age音乐家精力要充沛得多），而且别人把他的音乐归类为新弗拉门戈（换句话说，是现代弗拉门戈－流行风格而不是传统的标准弗拉门戈风格）。但是，虽然他的某些非电吉他演奏实际上与西班牙新弗拉门戈表现的场景有关，而事实却是当代弗拉门戈仅仅是Linstead难以预测的、非常折衷的作品的一部分。如果要找一个词来最确切地概括Linstead五花八门的专辑，那应当是“世界融合”。Linstead不仅受到过西班牙音乐的影响，也受到过希腊、意大利、葡萄牙、古巴、特立尼达、巴西、秘鲁、印度、摩洛哥、以及中东音乐的影响。如果说有什么东西让Linstead把这些富有韵律的、和谐而旋律优美的元素结合到一起——至少，大部分——事实上，这些元素更多地来自于世界上那些气候温暖而阳光明媚的地方。Linstead的创作很少受到起源于某些地方音乐类型的影响，这些地方因其寒冷、荒芜、积雪而黑暗的冬季而闻名；世界上那些影响他最大的地区——地中海、西南欧、加勒比海、南美、中东、北非——有着充足的阳光。但具有讽刺意味的是，Linstead不是来自于任何一个影响过他的演奏与创作的阳光地带——他其实是加拿大的本地居民。Linstead——常常被比作Ottmar Liebert、Lara & Reyes、Jesse Cook、Armik和Oscar Lopez——给他的唱片带来了广泛多样的元素。Linstead的专辑带给人们这样的印象，这位乐器演奏家受到过从Tomatito与Paco de Lucía（两位最伟大的弗拉门戈吉他演奏家），希腊人的偶像Manos Hadjidakis，到巴西吉他演奏家Egberto Gismonti与较晚的Laurindo Almeida等所有这些人的影响。Linstead本质上不是一位爵士艺术家，却能够不时表现出适度的爵士味道，证明他既非常了解Django Reinhardt标新立异的吉普赛轻快节奏，也同样了解Pat Metheny、John McLaughlin、以及以《 Return to Forever 》为标志的 Al DiMeola这些人演奏的具有融合风格的吉他。这就是说，Linstead只在舞台上或录音棚里演奏非电声吉他；虽然非电声吉他是Linstead主要演奏的乐器，他也演奏曼陀林、小提琴、贝斯、声学钢琴、电声键盘、各种木笛，以及布祖基琴（一种传统的希腊弦乐器）。谈到他在唱片和现场演奏中挑选的伴奏者，Linstead凭借其多样性而人气旺盛；他是那种复合文化艺术家，会毫不犹豫地同时使用印度手鼓与吉普赛小提琴。《Sol Luna Tierra》，Linstead的第一张专辑，由具有独立精神的Real Music公司于1999年发行；他后来在Real Music公司发行的专辑包括2000年的《Kiss the Earth》，2001年的《Guitarra del Fuego》，以及2003年的《Zabuca》。Linstead的第五张专辑，《Mediterranea》，由Earthscape Music公司于2004年发行。 强尼斯，这位“新弗拉门戈”的王子，“表演就如同沉思一般，不论是心理、生理、精神三方面都要专心集中，如此才能呈现出纯净且不受约束的音乐，就像身在天堂一样。”强尼斯说。 来自加拿大多伦多，自学而成的吉他手强尼斯，每当他演奏个人所创作的乐曲时，不仅展现出他大师般的风范与才华，更让聆听者宛如置身于天堂。强尼斯不但是空心吉他和低音吉他的大师，同时也是一位造诣相当高的钢琴家，从莫札特到摇滚乐，一样都难不倒他。二十多岁时一趟南美洲和加勒比海之旅，除了是强尼斯个人心灵上的洗礼，也开启了他的艺术表演生涯。当他以摇滚乐手的身分在各地巡回演出时，从他的作品中，不难找到南美洲和加勒比海文化的踪迹。 强尼斯称他自己所演奏的吉他音乐为“新弗拉门戈”风格，结合了大家所熟悉的古典弗拉门戈、吉普赛音乐、沙沙舞曲、巴西音乐，再加上流行的现代节奏和迷人的旋律。在他新创作的乐曲当中，拉丁吉他所展现出的活力和情境，总是巧妙地与钢琴、管乐、长笛、以及打击乐器融合在一起。 Instrumentalist Johannes Linstead is not an easy artist to categorize. Some listeners have described the acoustic guitarist's ambitious, far-reaching albums as new age (although he is much more energetic than new age artists are typically known for being), and others have labeled him nuevo flamenco (that is, modern flamenco-pop rather than traditional straight-ahead flamenco). But while some of his acoustic guitar playing is, in fact, relevant to Spain's nuevo flamenco scene, the truth is that contemporary flamenco is only a part of what the unpredictable, highly eclectic Linstead does. If any one term best summarizes Linstead's diverse albums, it would be "world fusion." Linstead has been influenced not only by the music of Spain, but also by the music of Greece, Italy, Portugal, Cuba, Trinidad, Brazil, Peru, India, Morocco, and the Middle East. If anything ties Linstead's rhythmic, harmonic, and melodic influences together -- most of them, anyway -- it is the fact they tend to come from the world's warmer, sunnier climates. Linstead's work does not owe a lot to styles of music that originated in places known for their cold, harsh, snowy, dark winters; the parts of the world that have influenced him the most -- the Mediterranean, southwestern Europe, the Caribbean, South America, the Middle East, North Africa -- get plenty of sunlight. But ironically, Linstead is not from any of the sunny locations that have influenced his playing and composing -- he is actually a native and resident of Canada.Linstead -- who has often been compared to Ottmar Liebert, Lara while the acoustic guitar is his primary instrument, Linstead also plays mandolin, violin, bass, acoustic piano, electric keyboards, various wooden flutes, and the bouzouki (a traditional Greek string instrument). And when it comes to picking sidemen for his albums and live performances, Linstead thrives on diversity; he is the type of multicultural artist who wouldn't hesitate to use Indian tabla drums and gypsy violin at the same time.Sol Luna Tierra, Linstead's first album, was released by the independent Real Music in 1999; his subsequent Real Music releases included Kiss the Earth in 2000, Guitarra del Fuego in 2001, and Zabuca in 2003. Linstead's fifth album, Mediterranea, came out on Earthscape Music in 2004.
