Drums Between The Bells

传奇电子音乐人和唱片制作人Brian Eno前段时间发布了他会在七月份于Warp唱片公司旗下发表新专辑的消息。可能是想为这张新专辑做点热身的原因。Brian Eno在Soundcloud网站上提前发布了两首取自新专辑《Drums Between The Bells》中的曲目《bless this space》和《pour it out》，曲子初听上去似乎都延续了Eno上张专辑《Small Craft on a Milk Sea》中细腻的氛围感，只不过《bless this space》更加入了一点节奏上的变化。 有意思的是，根据Brian Eno的说法，《Drums Between The Bells》这张专辑的音乐内容和图案设计也会形成了某种奇妙的互动，“最近这段时间，我一直都在圣保罗，我感觉这是西方世界里最有城市感觉地方。我在那里的森林拍了不少照片。但当我回到伦敦的家中开始，一边听这张专辑里的音乐，一边在Photoshop软件里编辑这些图片的时候，我开始意识到我正在下意识地把照片的颜色和风格往听到音乐的方向靠。而这张专辑的封面也便是这么做出来的。” Brian Eno first came across the work of Rick Holland in the late 90’s during the Map-Making project; a series of collaborative works between students of the Royal College, the Guildhall School of Music, the Royal Academy of Music, the Royal College of Music, the National Youth Orchestra and the English National Ballet, among others. In 2003, Brian and Rick made their first music together (the resulting work does not appear on this album). In the intervening time since that initial session they have met infrequently to work on new compositions. In early 2011, following the release of ‘Small Craft on a Milk Sea’ (Brian’s debut album for Warp Records), the pair resolved to finish the project. ‘Drums Between the Bells’ is the result.
