40 Anos a Desfazer Opinião

domingo, 23 de junho de 2013

Brian Eno pôs no leitor de CDs "The Jazz Era", de Bryan Ferry, e gostou do que ouviu. Já a pensar numa editora vocacionada para a revisão pós-estruturalista do conceito de revisionismo, decide-se por idêntica operação. Objectivo: anos 50. Resultado: um fiasco tão escusado como embaraçoso. Mesmo assim, será capaz de dizer que prefere o original?

    Bryan Ferry, em busca do acorde perdido: “It’ s funny how it all came about. For a long time I had wanted to do an instrumental album – I wanted to have a record that showcased me has a writer, taking away the singing part. I had considered various ideas, from bebop to orchestral arrangements in an avant garde style, but I still hadn´t figured it out. I had been listening to a lot of earlier music over the years, to a lot of Charlie Parker, for example – and then working my way backwards. So for several years I would listen to Coleman Hawkins, as he is a bridge between ‘old’ music and modern jazz – he has it all, it seems. If I had to go to a desert island with just one person it might well be Coleman Hawkins, who I would take to serenade me through the lonely evenings...
    So I bought a lot of boxed sets and realized how much I loved this earlier music – the two towering giants appear to be Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong. Armstrong’s melodic playing is incredible, and he really started 20th century modern music – Ellington refined it. It was then that I decided that I wanted to do an album of my songs in a jazz idiom and in that period style; not aping one particular band, but anything from the period, as if it was a compilation of my songs done by different bands from that time. So you could get some of the Cotton Club jungle rhythms of Duke Ellington, and also the New Orleans Armstrong style. It turned out that my melodies, things I have written over the years, sound really good in that style. I am over the moon with how it’s turned out.”
    ...e recuando até aos cinco anos:

      Well done, amigo. Grato por toda esta luz. Agora que não falta quem recupere velhas canções-slogan, estava capaz de proclamar que 'o que faz falta é iluminar a malta'!...

    'O que faz falta é iluminar a malta' por Brian Eno, em jogo de luzes,

    "Day of Light' was conceived to mark the release of my new album LUX. We asked people to send in photos with the theme 'Play of Light' - which was one of the titles I considered for the album - to be streamed throughout the day, accompanying the broadcast of the album. The idea was to make a collaborative, generative work...to see what happened if you just made a space for it to happen in."
