DAVID BYRNE - TALKING HEADS
2008年の夏にデヴィッド・バーンの、ニューヨークの1世紀も経った古いBattery Maritimeビルを巨大な楽器に変えるサウンド・スカルプチュアは,ビルの暖房用のパイプと水道 ( 給水 ) 管にメタル・ビームとパイルを取り付け、オールド・パンプ・オルガンの鍵盤とスウィッチでコントロールする風、振動、打撃によって共鳴させ音を発生させるというもの。このパフォーマンス、インスタレーションは、‘Victorian steam-punk technology’ と名付けられ2009年のロンドンのカムデンにある伝統的なラウンドハウスでも行われてい
TALKING HEADS / STOP MAKING SENSE ( SIRE 9 25121-1LP 9 )
る。オリジナル・コミッションは2005年のストックフォルムの Färgfabrikenと、ニューヨ−クのCreative Timeのバタリ・マリタイムで行われたもの。バーンの建造物を楽器に変えるパフォーマンスがたてる音響は、まるで音響現象および聴覚スペースの共鳴の、近調整されたピッチ間の段階の干渉、および物理的な媒体による音の伝達を探検したアルヴィン・リュシエのブン
ブン唸る音や回転するような音にも似て、改めて音響とは振動、音波によって共鳴し、音楽を聴くとは我々の頭脳や身体が、その振動に共振することだというのを再認識させられる。3次元モデリングソリューションで仮想設計されるアーキテクチュア、あの人間の限りない欲望の象徴、アラブ首長国連邦(UAE)のドバイに完成した世界一の高層ビル " ブルジュ・ ハリファ " ではなく、あくまでもビルディングにこだわるデヴィッド・バーンはこの実験によって世界のポピュラー・ミュージックの門番としての大きなレコード会社の差し迫った終焉と、音楽の治世を提案したという。ワールドトレードセンターではなく、エンパイア・ステート・ビルディングこそ真にモダンなのだ。それにこのWiki文化によって、誰もがWebページを作り評論家、作家、芸術家気取りでいられ、才能などなくても誰もがyoutubeやmyspaceに自分の作った音楽をアップできミュージシャン宣言できる時代は、なにも消費するものがないから、自分で創造するしか能のない時代のあらわれなのか。しかしあまりにも安易で下らないものも多いのは考えものだ。彼もこのインスタレーションでそのことを示唆している。デヴィッド・バーンの最新の情報は、アメリカのTodomundo / Nonesuch Recordsからリリースされるファットボーイ・スリムとのコラボレーション・アルバム " Here Lies Love " で、これはミュージカルとして着想されたフィリピンのイメルダ・マルコス元大統領夫人と、その幼少時に仕えたエストレーラ・クンパスの人生をテーマにしたコンセプト・アルバム。 " 僕が興味を持ったのは、影響力のある人間を駆り立てる原動力は何なのか、彼らは何によって突き動かされるのか、どうやって自分自身を作り上げ、また作り直すのかについての物語だった。で、僕は密かに考えた。それをクラブという設定の中で体験できたら素晴らしいんじゃないかってね。物語や舞台演劇みたいなものをディスコに持ち込めないか? それは可能なのか? もしできたら、凄いことじゃないか ! " と発言している。ヴォーカリストには、シンディ・ローパー、サンティゴールド、トリ・エイモス、フローレンス・アンド・ザ・マシーンのフローレンス・ウェルチ、マーサ・ウェインライト、そしてバーン自身がフィーチャーされている。彼も愈々本格的にクラブミュージックの文脈に侵入し始めたようだ。気付くのが10年遅いけれどね。

デヴィッド・バーンやトーキングヘッズと会ったのは、'76年にニューヨークに取材に出かけたCBGBのステージだった。彼らがデヴューする1年前のそのステージは、客も20人にも満たない淋しいもので、ステージが終わった後のバック・ステージで写真を撮ったり短いインタヴューをさせてもらった。あの時聴いた " サイコキラー " や " ニュー・フィーリング" は、いまも耳元でブンブン鳴り響いている。ボクにとってはそれこそがトーキングヘッズで、後に80年だったか、彼らが来日した際にもう一度インタヴューする機会があったが、すでに世界的に有名になり始めていて、CBGBで会った彼らとはすっかり変わっていて、なにか違和感を覚えた。音楽も初期のようなインテレクチュアルなものから、いつの間にかファンクやアフロという記号が増殖してメジャー路線を走る80年代後半にもなると、デヴィッド・バーンのソロかブライアン・イーノとのコラボレーション作以外は聴いてられなかったというのが正直な感想だ。振り返れば'81年にクリス・フランツとティナ・ウェイマウスがトム・トム・クラブ ( Tom Tom Club ) 名義で アルバム " Tom Tom Club " をリリースし始めた頃に、トーキングヘッズは既に完全燃焼してしまっていたと言えるだろう。カナダ、トロントのロードアイランドのアート・スクールの同窓生だったデヴィッド・バーン ( David Byrne ) 、クリス・フランツ ( Chris Frantz ) 、ティナ・ウェイマス ( Tina Weymouth ) は、当時 " Artistics " というバンドを結成していた。その後ニューヨークに移住しジョナサン・リッチマンのバンドでドラムを叩いていたジェリー・ハリソン ( Jerry Harrison ) を加え " トーキング・ヘッズ" としてCBGBを拠点に活動することになる。彼らはブランク・ジェネレーション=ニューヨーク・パンク・バンドで、最も商業的にも成功したのだが、当時では珍しいアートスクール出身の、知的であるが故に、他のバンドとは一線を画していた。'81年以後は、ブライアン・イーノとのコラボレーション " My Life in the Bush of Ghosts " を皮切りに、その直後に発表したポストモダン・ミュージックの3部作、トゥワイラ・サープによって振り付けされたダンスの断片 " The Catherine Wheel " のサウンドトラックは、'81年にニューヨークのウィンター・ガーデン・シアターで初演されユートピアと自由への幻想が描かれたもので、それが'83年12月にハリウッドのパンテージ・シアターで3夜にわたり展開された " Stop Making Sense " に繋がるデヴィッド・バーンの本質 " モダン " の潮流への大きな流れが構造化されていた。 '84年公開された" ストップ・メイキング・センス " は全米映画批評家協会賞ドキュメンタリー映画賞を受賞し、" 羊たちの沈黙 " で有名な映画監督ジョナサン・デミ ( Jonathan Demme ) によって撮影されたその映像が'99年にDVDで発売されている。そこには絶頂期のトーキングヘッズと、ブカブカのズートスーツに身を包んだデヴィッド・バーンが、ラジカセ1台から流れる伴奏をバックに歌う " Psycho Killer " から " Burning Down The House " 、" Take Me To The River " までの最高潮に達するポストモダン・パフォーマンスが記録されている。これこそがエキセントリックだったトーキングヘッズとデヴィッド・バーン世界の本質なのだ。

David Byrne: Playing the Building

****http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1D30gS7Z8U
In today's edition of Boing Boing tv, music legend David Byrne transforms an entire NYC building into a giant musical instrument, and Xeni joins him inside for a BBtv tour.
Details on "Playing the Building", which is open and free of charge to the public in New York City through August 10, 2008:

Playing the Building: An installation by David Byrne
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6cvCafcPGQ
**Imagine an old pump organ, set at the heart of the Roundhouse, with a series of low-tech cables and wires attached to the buildings pillars, pipes and beams. Then imagine the ping, rattle and blow as they vibrate and resonate in response to the organ keys, and the building itself becomes a giant musical instrument.
Playing the Building, David Byrnes interactive sound installation, drew crowds to New Yorks Battery Maritime Building last year. This August sees the UK premiere of his vision of Victorian steam-punk technology at the 160-year-old Roundhouse.

The shutters are off the windows of the domed roof, revealing the building in a new light the perfect setting for visitors of all ages to explore the Victorian architecture and have the chance to play the building.
David Byrne co-founded Talking Heads in 1974. Hes also released solo music projects and worked in film, photography, dance and opera winning Grammy, Oscar and Golden Globe awards. Find out more at davidbyrne.com/playingthebuilding

David Byrne & Fatboy Slim Feat. Florence Welch "Here Lies Love"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ybz_AvYcQQ

**"Here Lies Love" Vocals by Florence Welch (Florence and the Machine) from David Byrne & Fatboy Slim's concept album about Imelda Marcos, former First Lady of the Philippines. Due out Feb. 23, 2010. More info at:http://www.davidbyrne.com/here_lies_love/

David Byrne & Fatboy Slim-Please don't(ft.Santogold)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTOatAHVcHg

"Here Lies Love" is the scene-setting title track from David Byrne and Fatboy Slim's post-BPA Imelda Marcos concept album. As we've mentioned, each track on the 2-CD collection features a different guest vocalist -- basically a number of accomplished female vocalists and Steve Earle. (That, and Byrne plays the "American Troglodyte," duets with My Brightest Diamond, etc.) Our last taste of Here Lies Love came via Santigold putting her distinctive stamp on "Please Don't." This time Florence Welch of Florence + The Machine gives it a buoyant go with the dramatic, upbeat opener.

(Via P4K)
If you're curious about why they're focusing on Marcos, Byrne explains it in the album's introduction:
The story I am interested in is about asking what drives a powerful person--what makes them tick? How do they make and then remake themselves? I thought to myself, wouldn't it be great if--as this piece would be principally composed of clubby dance music--one could experience it in a club setting? Could one bring a 'story' and a kind of theater to the disco? Was that possible? If so, wouldn't that be amazing!

**In my bootleg collecting days, I managed to gather thirty plus amazing Talking Heads concerts (not including Stop Making Sense or The Name Of This Band.....) This one came to me without a date or venue, but I'm guessing Jerry had arrived and it's early 77........ Imagery from the free cinema movement of girls, er being with girls.

Profile

阿木 譲(AGI Yuzuru)

70-80年代にかけてニッポンの3大音楽評論家(中村とうよう、渋谷陽一)の一人と言われていた。 テクノポップという言葉を作ったのも、ニッポンで最初のインディペンデント・レーベル "VANITY RECORDS"を立ち上げたのも彼である。
'70年代中期から現在に至るまで、「時代の先端の音楽」を探す嗅覚の鋭さはまったく変わっていない。
雑誌ロックマガジンの伝説故に、"阿木譲=ロックの人"という記号は余りに重いが、 彼が現在までに編集/発行した雑誌「ロックマガジン」、「EGO」、「Infra」、「BIT」などが ミュージシャンや音楽ファンに与えた影響力は大で、 現在でも音楽業界や、音楽雑誌などの編集の現場での有形無形の部分で彼の影響というのが多々見られる。
他の評論家と本質的に違うところは、 常に誰よりも早く先端で表出する音楽の運動をとらえ、 実に多様な音楽をカバーし、 その本領は音楽を軸にした思想、哲学、同時代のアート全般にまで目配りをし、 音楽からインスパイアされたデザイン的な美的センスを持つ あらゆる情報のエディトリアル、プロデュース力にあると言って良いと思う。
彼の経歴にまつわる伝説はあまりにも多過ぎ、ここには書ききれないが、 何かベールに包まれたような、しかも何かとても巨大な存在感のイメージされる人物なのだ。 著書に「ロックエンド/rockend」(工作舍) 「イコノスタシス/iconostesis」(インピタス) 「E」(neu product)などがある。
