我的後宮佳麗 #6: 1968 Ford Mustang 福特野馬!猛!

這段影片是從我的1968年的福特野馬拍出去的畫面。雖然這部車年紀比我還大但她還是非常有魅力!聽聽她的引擎聲。。。Vrooom, vroom, vroom!!!

這一類的車在美國都稱為muscle car或中文翻譯成。。。肌肉車。為什麼呢?因為他們需要很多肌肉才能夠駕駛? Hey,其實不是啦,主要是因為這些肌肉車很masculine, 很陽鋼,引擎力量很powerful所以因此這個昵稱。福特的野馬算是muscle car最有代表性的一款,也是我個人最喜歡的一部muscle car. 我個人有兩部;這部是1968年份的,另外一個部是原裝numbers matching的1966年的fastback.

這些車子的性能絕對沒有現代車子的好,但是他們能夠帶給你的快感和興奮是無法形容的。看看這個影片,聽聽引擎的威猛,你就可能可以體會我在開她的感覺!Puts a big smile on your face!

DT's Picks!

Check out my new guitar picks!  Maybe you'll "catch" one at the show...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC9-R7fF__E

(These are three custom guitar picks that I use on the new "Rock and Talk Show 上太空,說 tour. I mainly use a heavy 1.0mm gauge pick when I play but will use a lighter gauge (.80mm) pick for strumming parts as it gives a looser, more feathered sound. I'd like to share these with you guys so during the show I'll be throwing them out so, if you're quick enough, you just might catch one of them in the air! Good luck and see you on the road!)

台中的朋友超high的!Taichung Rocks!

This is me shooting the audience from my vantage point onstage. The audience was simply awesome and we all had a great time. The audience was so loud that towards the end of the show I had difficulties hearing myself in my in-ear monitors. But what more can you ask? This is how a rock concert should be...thanks, Taichung. I'll remember you guys forever!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRtyvmzgFEE

(昨天是誰跟我說台中的觀眾很溫和的?台中的觀眾超high的,真的給我們在台上的樂手很多能量!你們太棒了!謝謝你們的熱情和愛 顧。到後面,我耳機裏幾乎什麼都聽不到了,因為觀眾的聲音太大聲了。這就是演唱會應該的樣子。永遠想念台中的朋友。。。)

Jolin in the House? DT in the 台中?

我到底在那裡啊?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ7PbQUWp3k

(巡迴的第一站結束了,我們就立刻從高雄拉車上台中。都已經快凌晨兩點了,所以大家都已經累壞了,神智也不是很清楚了。一到了飯店就看到了熟面孔,Jolin,所以就特別的興奮的跟他唱起歌來了。可是令我失望的是,之後工作人員跟我說那只是一個人形立牌而不是真的Jolin。但至少走過了體溫測試器,證明我並沒有發燒。還是回房間睡覺吧。。。)

陶少校降落了。。。Major Tao has landed...

10/12/09 11:52am

曲目透露 Part 1:Major Tao

這次真的跟太空有關係的一首歌就是David Bowie的“Space Oddity”.  我覺得這首歌應該被翻譯成“太空怪胎”才會更貼切。David Bowie (大衛鮑伊),在那個時候是個非常據有影響力的音樂人。Bowie來自英國,可是說是他帶起了全世界的new wave和electronic blues rock風潮。我個人認為他最重要的一位progressive art rock的殿堂人物。

如果你喜歡日本的glam rock或cosplay文化,你就必需要感謝David Bowie,因為很多這些元素都是他在早起的六零年代就已經開始在玩了。他是個永遠在試驗的創造人,不怕走在所有人的前面,帶領我們的感官。他嘗試了化裝,男扮女裝,結合performance art的姿勢和pose,還有很多戲劇性的演唱方式。我甚至於認為,很多亞洲歌手的演唱方式都是無形中被David Bowie的style給影響了。聽聽某些香港歌手的vibrato和發聲的部位是否跟Bowie有點相似?

你們可以猜得到”Space Oddity”是那一年,那一天發行的嗎?很妙的是,這首歌是在七月十一號1969年,第一次首播的!對,這也是我的生日的同一天,同一年!真的這麼巧!我高中時代就很喜歡這首歌,但是一直不知道他是跟我同年,同一天出生的。因此,現在唱這首歌覺得更有意義和感動。

1969年,July 20th 是人類登陸月球的重大日子。可以說在六零年代,全世界都在關注誰可以先搶先登上月球。在這樣的氣氛當中,出現了這一首歌,絕對是有他的諷刺意味。這也是那個時候很多創作人透過音樂對於世界和社會的評論。那個年代的social awareness and consciousness是現在很多流行音樂缺少的。

特別讓我感動的是他的歌詞,很簡單但是有種很莫名的孤獨感,可以完全想像一個人在外太空漂流的那種無助感。。。

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God's love be with you

(spoken)
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Lift-off

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows"

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you....

"Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do."

我上太空到底要“說”什麼呢?

10/11/09 12:01am

今天是第三天的彩排,幾乎所有的歌都順走過了,但還說不上很熟。開始跟新樂手有點默契,但還是有很多東西需要謀和。這次除了慶龍和Jingles (bass player) 之外,其他兩位樂手都是第一次合作。鼓手,Blair Sinta,是來自洛杉磯。吉他手,Franco Raggatt,是來自雪梨。

雖然他們都是其他朋友和樂手介紹的,選擇他們還是有很大的風險。即便他們有好的名聲和credit,但我們並沒有合作過,也不知道他們的工作態度和實際演奏的功力與經驗。在慶龍和我慎重的考慮之後,我們決定 “take a chance”,試試這兩個人選。

我們目前還沒有後悔。。。

光是這次演唱會的樂器就把硬體公司弄的很頭大,我們要的許多東西台灣都沒有,雖然這些樂器真的不是那麼冷門。我們這次真的搬來一台直立式鋼琴,還有一台Hammond B-3 organ 電風琴都是從新加坡特別空運過來的。不知道為什麼台灣樂器那麼的少,Blair要求的鼓(DW Drum Workshop)整個寶島都租不到!只能說我們台灣對於音樂真的要加點油!

這次演唱會的概念,其實跟外太空沒有太大的關聯。當初,應該是因為我覺得他很”far out”,在音樂上超出一般的演唱會曲目,所以我給了他一個比較有想像空間的名字;同時,在概念上,雖然這個年代的科技發達,但在很多地方我們並沒有超越幾十年前的人類,所以即使我們已經能很輕易的上太空,在某種時候,我認為我們應該要懂得“回到地球”,看看我們到底是否在前進還是在退步。

這整個概念,我有用一些動畫來“說”故事,希望大家可以從中得到一些感動。這次找了一個年輕的插畫家來創作,畫出一些非常俱有60年代感覺的動畫,希望能把大家帶入另外一個年代。這次的舞台也非常有特色,郭子導演也花了很多心思把他設計成一個60、70年代的居家客廳。也是是希望大家可以像是坐了時空倒轉機,回到從前。

當然,最重要在音樂上慶龍和我做了一些設計,希望大家可以聽到一些經典和俱有重大影響力的音樂。我一直說60,和70年代的音樂對我影響是最大的,可是在我之前的演唱會當中,始終沒有唱過很多那個年代的歌曲;但在這個演唱會當中,我不只要唱他們,還把他們精心的安排在一些組曲裡,讓大家可以更加了解這些歌和我的關心到底是什麼。例如:我最新專輯中的“中國姑娘”是如何被Stevie Wonder的“Superstition”給影響的呢?Pink Floyd 的 “Another Brick in the Wall”又和 ”黑色柳丁“又有什麼關心呢?

我知道會有很多觀眾沒有聽過這些經典歌曲,但我一直相信這些歌曲是有力量的,也覺得他們會感動到新朋友;當然,如果你已經熟悉了這些歌曲的話,你應該會high到最高點!

可以說,這個演唱會是用很多組曲去呈現的。除了唱很多影響我的歌曲,我也會唱蠻多我自己很少唱的歌,每次辦演唱會都會有很多人“點歌”,但其實都很難滿足所有的人,我希望這次會滿足到你們的!

如果你喜歡搖滾的話,你必須要來參加這個演唱會,因為他是個少有的華人搖滾演唱會。如果你喜歡很親近,純粹的音樂會,千萬不要錯過這次的演出。我不是在宣傳,而是想強調這次的演出真的很像以往那種小型的rock concert,你坐哪裡都看得到、聽得到、聞得到。。。我流汗都可以看得到。雖然intimate, 我們用的還是最頂尖的喇叭和視覺硬體,但是我們的場地的規格是允許大家伸出雙手就可以摸得到我的!這就是我一直想辦的演唱會!不是說我不喜歡大型演唱會,而是我一直渴望可以看到你們每一個人的表情,聽到你們每一個人的聲音和呼吸。

這也是我第一次去高雄、台中和新竹演出,所以我滿懷興奮和期待!能再次的去感受中南部朋友的熱情,回到我宣傳第一張專輯的那種感覺。真的很特別,也是一個讓我很愛台灣的原因;真的很期待,但同時也很緊張,因為這次的節目精彩,是俱有“挑戰性”的。他沒有虛華,亮麗的舞者,或特效,但我保證他有100%的熱情和音樂誠意,希望大家會感受到!

69樂章來了!DT69 New, 6th album is finally here! Drops today 8/21/09!

Dear Friends,

I'm pleased to announce that my new 6th studio album, ”69David Tao 69樂章“, is officially releasing today, 8/21, in China, Taiwan and HK.  Through many trials and tribulations, the album now finally sees the light of day.  Because of the typhoon relief efforts and unofficial internet leak last week, our release date has changed a few times which has caused a lot of confusion not only to you but even for our operations.  For that, I'd like to apologize.

I'm very excited about this album and feel it is my best work to date.  I do hope you guys enjoy it as much as I enjoyed producing and creating it.  For some, this album's direction may come as a challenge seeing it as a departure from my previous work, but for me, it is in fact a return to my roots.  The essence of this album, once again, is not about its musical genre but about the stories and emotions contained with it.  I can't guarantee everybody will like this album but I can assure you that I put 110% of my heart, soul and life into making it.

Love, DT

大家好,

很高興跟大家宣布我的第六張錄音室專輯【陶喆 - 69樂章】今天 (8/21)正式在中港台三地同步發行了。通過重重的考驗與磨難,這張專輯今天正式公諸於世。之前因為參與颱風賑災,而上禮拜又傳出專輯被非法外流在網路上,導致我們數度更改發行日期。這不僅對你們,甚至對我們的內部運作都造成極大的困擾。對此,我深表歉意。

這張專輯讓我興奮不已,我覺得這是我至今最好的一部作品。我希望你們可以跟我在製作這張專輯一樣感受到許多喜樂。對一些人來說,這張專輯會是個挑戰,因為它遠不同於我以往的創作風格,但是對我來說,這是我的回歸根本之作。這張專輯的精隨不在於它表現出來的音樂風格,而在於其中所蘊含的故事與情感。我不敢保證所有人都會喜歡這張專輯,但這絕對是我用了 110% 的真心、靈魂與生 命來創作的一張專輯。

腿斷了,躺平了,也要 Mr. Pedal Steel!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B ... =player_profilepage

如果我有一年的時間去學一個新樂器,我毫無需要考慮就會馬上說 :「我要學 ... Pedal Steel!」
Pedal steel(踏板電吉他)可以說是個“混血兒”樂器吧。它是一半吉他,一半有點像鍵盤。其實這個形容是不正確的,但這一直是我對這個樂器的印象。

Pedal Steel 有很多條弦(比吉他多很多,但不要問我多多少)左手要用slide,右手要用finger pick 才能彈奏這個樂器。這個樂器是平放著彈的,所以有點像鍵盤樂器。但它難的地方是它還需要用雙腳來踩踏板。這些踏板都是用來立即改變 pedal steel 的 tuning。

你從影片當中可以看得出來,這個樂器不是什麼高科技的東西,而是很機械化mechanical的構造。錄了一半,Doug的 pedal steel 還出了一些小問題,他需要把整個樂器翻過來,自己修理。耽誤了一點寶貴的時間,但這是值得的,因為 pedal steel 的音色實在太美妙了。

我為什麼會這麼喜歡 pedal steel 這個樂器呢?很簡單,因為我覺得它實在太有表達能力了,真的非常 expressive。它常會出現在美國的鄉村音樂(country music)裏,也會常用在 Hawaiian music 裏。這兩個音樂類型對於東方人可能有些陌生,但都是我從小時候就很喜愛的音樂。如果你去聽一些 country music,你會發現它幾乎在每一兩首歌都會出現。我之前在幫莫文蔚製作 "我明白他" 的時候,也請了 Doug來彈奏 pedal  steel。當時,唱片公司的音樂總監好像不是很喜歡 country 的 feel,就希望我把歌曲的方向調整比較像Coldplay的英式搖滾 ... 這真是讓我很抓狂,what was he thinking?

【69樂章】的歌曲當中用了不少 pedal steel,不知道你們喜歡嗎?覺得它的感覺如何?有讓你覺得有點 bluesy 的感覺嗎?

不管怎樣,我還是希望我可以有一年的時間去苦練Pedal Steel...

I Love You, Mr. Dirty Organ Man 我愛你,骯髒器官先生

雖然電風琴(Organ)是個鍵盤樂器,但不是會彈鋼琴的人就會彈奏電風琴。它是個非常有個性的樂器,也有很多屬於自己獨特彈奏的技巧。它可以很 dirty and nasty,但同時也可以非常的 holy and soulful。可以在神聖的教堂出現(gospel and church music),也可以在頹廢的 Mississipi blues bar 陪伴酒醉的客人。Organ在英文可以翻譯成電風琴,同時也是器官的意思。在我眼裏,Organ不只是一個樂器,而真的是一個 living、 breathing 的“器官”。

我很愛這個電風琴,但我更愛 Mr. Jim Cox, 鍵盤大師。

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92FKHlfVryc

這不是第一次跟 Jim 合作,之前他在 【太平盛世] 彈奏了“愛,是個什麼東西?”中的 organ parts。那個時候的歌曲沒有特別突出 organ 的部份,所以我立下以後如果還有歌需要 organ,一定要再找 Jim 來發揮功力。這次專輯中雖然沒有很多 organ,但在這首歌裏有讓 Jim 大大的秀他的magic。

現在的科技和電腦能模擬很多聲音。你能想得到的,都可以做的出來,但電腦還是不能 replace the real thing (無法取代真的樂器)。一台 Hammond B3 organ 在當時是個很複雜的樂器,雖然它現在算是是古老的技術。它有很多的drawbars, switches, buttons。這一切都是讓彈奏的人可以去改變它的音色。B3 organ 另一個特別的部份就是他的發聲喇叭,這就是它的 rotary speaker 或 Leslie effect. 這個會 “旋轉的喇叭“ 很有趣,它是個非常原始,粗糙的發明和原理,但到現在還是沒有辦法被取代。它的原理就是把兩個喇叭安裝在兩個會旋轉的馬達上,然後放在喇叭裡面。這樣,當它們一邊在轉的時候,它們的聲音就會造成一種很Stereo,立體的效果。這個跟 siren effect (警笛聲)的原理很類似。所以當你們在聽這首歌和 organ 的時候,特別留意那種“旋轉”和立體的效果,很酷的!

Well...在不久你們就會聽到這張專輯和裡面的歌曲、編曲和概念了。我非常期待跟你們分享這張專輯,因為它是我的生命的一部份。也希望你們能感受到裡面的故事和情感。

Until next time, stay cool! DT

Happy Birthday to Me!

Yes, it's my birthday. Don't ask me which one it is or how old I am. It's not important anymore.

It is officially my birthday, NOW. It wasn't my birthday when the video was shot. It was merely a warm-up,
pre-birthday celebration. And since I didn't really get to "party" on my birthday, I am now officially making
the entire month of July, my birthday month. That means I get to celebrate everyday of the month till the 31st
without being called childish, indulgent or irresponsible. I've earned it. Enjoy your birthday this way too!

Check it out...

這些老外。。。值得我們學習

自己看了新的video之後又有一個感覺想跟大家分享,那就是關於這些“老外”音樂人。。。

其實跟這些樂手合作最快樂的不是因為他們的技巧和playing很厲害,而是他們的態度好和領悟能力高。還有的就是,他們懂得表達他們對你的音樂最真實的感受。
這個對我來說,非常重要。他們聽到你的音樂之後會說,“Cool, man, this sounds fun" or "Yo, I dig it, man!". 但並不是再吹捧你,而是在表達他們對音樂的第一個反應。聽到他們這樣的話,會常讓我覺得更有想法,動力,和自信。那種正面, positive energy,的環境和互動真的很有力量。他們“不怕”說出他們的真心話,也”不怕“讚美人。這種懂得讚美別人的習慣,是我覺得非常值得學習的。

可能因為東方人比較涵蓄,比較內斂,所以我們有時候很難說出口這種讚美的話。如果有人說出對我們說出一些讚美的語詞,我們甚至於會當成是他們在諷刺或”虧“我們。
It's interesting how cultures are different and they way people express themselves are different.

總之,他們的那種在音樂上的表達能力和分享是我成長的養分!今天別忘了用真心的讚美一個人吧!Even if it's only, "Hey, I like your hair today! It's nice!" It'll make you and somebody else SMILE!

第二個新專輯錄音側拍來了! I’ve got bass!

第二個新專輯錄音側拍來了! I’ve got bass!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vZdLfPUUNc

在第一集中,我介紹了這次合作的鼓手 - Shawn。在第二集中,我想介紹這次合作的貝斯手 bass player - Paul Bushnel。Paul來自愛爾蘭,也是個有很多credit的音樂人。

Bass 雖然只有四條弦,主要是維持節奏進行的樂器 (holding the groove together),但它的變化可以是很多的。一個好的 bassline 可以決定一首歌的氣氛。Bass是低音吉他,所以音頻不高。對於不懂音樂的人,它常會被忽略,因為不是很容易被聽出來。可是一位好的 bass player can really make a difference in a song.

我也是第一次跟 Paul 合作。他是王治平大哥大力推薦的。因為這次的 sound 和編曲沒有很多樂器,所以我在選擇樂手的部份特別要求。我要求的不僅是他們的精準度高和技巧好,而且他們的 tone 和 sound 要很獨特. 因為這次是 rock trio (3 piece band) 的編曲方式,所以每一個樂器的 tone 會特別明顯和重要。我之前合作的 bassist 技巧很好,但沒有很特別的 sound 和音色。這次 Paul 一來,就帶了至少八把低音吉他來。從很復古的 Hofner violin bass ( Paul McCartney 早期在Beatles 用的 ) 到很現代的 Fender Precision 5-string,他給了我幾乎所有能想得出來的 bass tone 的可能性!又是一個非常專業的音樂人!

還有一個令我很欣賞 Paul 的地方,就是他使用效果器 (effects) 在他的 bass tone上的功力。吉他手都常會用 guitar effects,但不是很多 bassist 會使用 effects。如果有的話,也不多。因為在 bass 上面使用 effects (chorus, flanger, delay, overdrive) 不是那麼簡單的。你聽 Paul 彈我這首歌當中的第一個figure,就可以知道他是個高手。我非常喜歡他用 chorus 和 delay 彈那些和弦的parts。有種說不出來的憂傷,也是吉他或其他樂器做不出來的聲音。厲害!

我也希望你們會喜歡這首歌,雖然你們只能聽到一點點。。。

這是一首我很喜歡的情歌,因為裡面的故事是我的親身體驗。我也從來沒有寫過這樣的旋律和結構的 ballad. If you like it, please let me know, I’m excited to hear what you guys think! 你們很快就能聽到完整的【他】 了!

June 29, 2009
我的回覆

以下是我的回覆。。。

Lavina, thoughtful piece of writing and I do think you have your point. However, here are a few thoughts on what you've said...

"I don't get it. Is the 60’s something to be proud of? "

As a collective conscious, yes, the 60's is an era and a time in history that we should be knowledgeable and aware of. There's much we can learn (or, perhaps, forget about) from history though, we, as humans often turn our heads from the past. I don't think anyone attached personal pride to that period of time in any of these replies.

"But how many of those who upheld the “Love
& Peace” banner of the 60’s knew the true meaning of
love and peace?"

I don't think we have any quantitative account of how many people knew the meaning, however, there were many movements that led to action and changes during that period which are still influential today in the peace keeping process. That's history that's been written. How does one measure influence in human history?

"Embracing sexual freedom isn’t love, neither is it
true freedom. Rather, I see it as selfishness and self-
indulgence. Don’t you think the many problems of
society today take root from the sexual revolution of
the 60’s?"

Again, nobody said that embracing sexual freedom is love. Sexual freedom and love are two separate things and were never used in comparison. Whether sexual freedom in and of itself is selfish or self-indulgence is your personal opinion, like you said. Sexual freedom was not born in the 1960's. It was something that existed probably as long as man existed. I'm sure one of sexual freedom's heights was during dynastic Chinese civilization and Roman civilizations? Are there not evils from every era of mankind post-Genesis?

"Speaking of freedom, what’s true freedom? Is it being
able to do as one please? Nature has its law and
order, so is our society. If everyone does as he
pleases, what will the world become? How can peace be
found then?"

Are you defending a particular religion or moral concept? Freedom is what you make of it and that definition changes with different societies, eras and governments. Freedom does not mean anarchy or some kind of an existential society defined by Nietzsche. This freedom isn't any extreme definition of the word but the basic human need to express one's self (in a socially responsible manner) without harming others. I don't find this form of freedom offensive, do you?

"The youth today may embrace hip-hop without
understanding the soul of hip-hop. How is that
different from those of the 60’s who embraced “love &
peace” without truly understanding love and peace? I
don’t see those of the 60’s being any less
superficial, just a lot more conceited."

Hip-hop is a form or music or, to some, a form of dress or esthetics. The "movement" of love and peace was a thought, attitude or perhaps, even, ideology. How can these two be compared? It's comparing apples and oranges, which is better?

Perhaps if you wanted to compare the hip-hop and hippie movement and their attached "lifestyles" that would be more pertinent.

Please remember, the hippie movement and lifestyle in the 60's was not a transplanted culture or form, it evolved in the 60's in California. Hip-hop did NOT evolve in Asia. It evolved amongst African-Americans and their lifestyles. Therefore, my point was that in order to truly understand the "soul" of hip-hop (especially being that it's not indigenous to our culture) we need to delve deeper into understanding it's origins and roots. My other point was that hip-hop music would find it difficult to sustain itself in Asia because we've transplanted it's physical elements but not it's inner core. Is there anything wrong with "embracing" these exterior or esthetic elements? Of course not. However, the soul and meaning of things gets lost in time which, to me, is worth lamenting.

This piece was not written to be conceited or offensive but to offer to some people a view into an era that I found very seminal in the making of our modern 20th century world. I was born on the tail of that decade but was a benefactor from it. I didn't expect some of you would take to the defensive on this. I hope this explains somewhat my intentions and motivations.

June 29, 2009
我有很自負嗎?

有位朋友剛寫了一篇話,讓我覺得必需要回覆。。。他說:

I don't get it. Is the 60’s something to be proud of?
Indeed, having the courage to express oneself is
admirable. But how many of those who upheld the “Love
& Peace” banner of the 60’s knew the true meaning of
love and peace?

Embracing sexual freedom isn’t love, neither is it
true freedom. Rather, I see it as selfishness and self-
indulgence. Don’t you think the many problems of
society today take root from the sexual revolution of
the 60’s?

Speaking of freedom, what’s true freedom? Is it being
able to do as one please? Nature has its law and
order, so is our society. If everyone does as he
pleases, what will the world become? How can peace be
found then?

The youth today may embrace hip-hop without
understanding the soul of hip-hop. How is that
different from those of the 60’s who embraced “love &
peace” without truly understanding love and peace? I
don’t see those of the 60’s being any less
superficial, just a lot more conceited.

我有東西給你們看!Are you ready?

準備好你們的眼睛和耳朵了嗎?我來了!

The FIRST recording session video clip for the new album is finally HERE!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hxjrc13Ego

首先要感謝我們的Mitch哥,終於辛苦的把video的片段轉檔和剪接出來。Mitch又是Production Manager,唱片企畫,DJ,和宅男。。。有美女尋好男人嗎?

On with the show...

這個片段,是我在LA第一天做live overdub的畫面。也是我第一次去Glenwood Studios錄音。這個錄音室的環境很舒服,有很多開放outdoor open air的空間,給人很多靈感。
錄音室,最怕就是在辦公大樓室內,因為會讓你感覺整天被關在牢裏的感覺,很悶。我們在Glenwood前後錄了大約十天,頭三四天都在跟Shawn Pelton錄鼓 live drums. 你們可以看得出來我第一天到錄音室那種興奮的表情嗎?

這張專輯的歌曲,幾乎都是採用live drums,沒有用什麼sample drum loops or drum machines。我希望回歸到最簡單和真實的3-piece band的感覺,因為我覺得這是最有力量的樂隊組合。
樂器一多,音樂的撞擊力量就減少了,所以我這次強迫自己用最簡單的guitar, drums and bass的配器來編曲。

我久仰了這次合作的鼓手已經很久了。他是美國著名綜藝節目,Saturday Night Live,裏band的樂手,但同時也是很多製作人和音樂人的指定鼓手。可以看看他的credits...

http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.d ... k9fwxqwgldke~4~T40B

我跟過很多鼓手合作過但一直希望能找Shawn來打這張專輯的歌,因為我覺得他的風格很有“趣味”。很多搖滾鼓手有power和爆發力,但沒有他的那種另類的態度(eccentricity)。他的風格融合了Country, Ska, Rockabilly, 和funk。他的技巧很精準但又有很夠laid back和relax. 最特別的是,他的節奏感總讓我感覺很 gritty 和 sticky。有一種在泥漿裏被泥巴給困住的感覺。。。我超愛的!但這個部份其實很難做到的。如果你們當中有打鼓的,看了片段就會完全了解我的意思了。他在片段裏打的這首歌,跟一個已經快要滅種的動物有關係。。。猜猜是什麼動物?

看一個好的鼓手就像看一個舞者一樣。他打鼓的時候,身體也會跟著一起律動起來。我從來沒有看過一個好的鼓手在打鼓的時候,沒有這種律動和搖擺的姿態。It's a part of drumming...you really have to feel and move to the groove. You have to become the groove to make the beat.
好的鼓手,其實不是在敲打一堆木筒子。。。他們像是在彈鋼琴一樣,在製造“音樂”,不僅是”製造“節奏。

Shawn是住紐約的,所以這次我們把他飛到LA來錄音。他非常的專業,帶了我們所有需要的鼓和配備,也在來LA前把所有的歌都聽熟了。他甚至於還把所有歌的譜都事先寫好了,讓我真的很敬佩他的工作態度。為什麼我們在台灣的資深樂手大哥們不能像這些美國的音樂人這麼的敬業呢?也可能就是因為這樣,我們的音樂是越做,越差?

希望你們喜歡這個側拍錄影帶,後面還會有更精彩的!Stay tuned to "D6T9 Sessions!"

We Love and Miss You, Michael

今天早上拍片的現場,突然在Twitter上面看見很多人post,“MJ is dead"。看到這幾個字,我感覺自己全身立刻冷卻。

這些訊息是真的嗎?他們指的"MJ"是Michael Jackson嗎?Is Michael really dead? 我身邊的工作人員,有些已經知道這個消息的,立刻點頭。

我當時沒有極度的難過,只是充滿了懷疑和一腦的問號。。。但他真的在LA的禮拜四,已經走了。

可以說,幾乎全世界的人都應該聽過Michael Jackson吧?就算沒有聽過他,也有聽過被他影響過的音樂人和創作。在1982年,我在LA剛準備唸高中。當時,MTV也剛剛開台沒多久。每天下課,第一件事,就是打開MTV台一邊做工課,一邊練吉他,一邊吃東西。同樣的那一年,Michael Jackson發行他的Thriller專輯。不好意思,但那個時候我是留著長頭髮,玩重金屬的rocker,對Michael Jackson一點興趣都沒有。可是。。。

當Thriller一出來的時候,我被震撼到了。我被征服了。。。Michael Jackson, you blew me away.

從Thriller這首歌的music video(其實他是第一個拍的想短電影的MV), Billie Jean的超經典bass line, Michael的月亮舞步(moonwalk),Beat It當中Eddie Van Halen(吉他之神)的guitar solo,Michael和Paul McCartney(Beatles的靈魂團員之一)對唱的The Girl is Mine,然后最後到Human Nature的獨特譜曲,編曲和唱功,這專輯。。。打開了我的眼睛,耳朵,嘴巴,還有。。。心。

有幾個藝人,創作人,偶像,歌手,打開過你的心呢?我一個手可以數得出來的。其中一個就是Michael Jackson.

讓我再說一次,The one and only...Michael Jackson. Period.

Because of you, I can stand on your shoulders and look further. You're a giant. You're my Hero.

I love and miss you, Michael.

May you go in peace and stand in glory with Christ.

To Po or not to Po?

你們的回覆和聲音真的讓我笑了。。。但那是開心的笑。感恩的喜悅。說要Po新歌還有那麼的多人勸我不要這麼做,這個世界怎麼了?哈哈。。。

但我真的很感動這麼多人願意等待,這也給我更多的能量去完成這張非常”主觀“的專輯。

新歌是成果,但更重要的是每個創作的過程。這個我希望你們可以跟我一起的參與和觀看。

請拭目以待。。。

主觀VS客觀?

在創作上主觀有“罪”嗎?

What do you think? 主觀VS客觀?

June 18, 2009
真的是我嗎?

很多人都在問,真的是陶喆嗎?如果是我,也會這樣的懷疑。

我想唯一能夠“證明”真的是陶喆的方式。。。就是upload一首新歌?我這幾天都在想這個問題。

To be or not to be.

如果台北的悶熱繼續下去,我就會被逼迫去這樣做。

Going crazy from heat...

And how do you, my friends, feel lately?

我是69

文/陶喆

來到人間

1969年,人類首次登陸月球,尼克森成為美國歷史上的醜聞總統,哈佛跟康乃爾大學的學生組織了大規模的反戰暴動,伍迪艾倫撰寫了一本極富爭議的性愛寶典,男同志開始對警察展開反擊,第一場搖滾音樂祭「胡士托」誕生,披頭四發行經典專輯【艾比路】後便宣布解散,,齊柏林飛船製作了第一張重金屬搖滾專輯,兩起造成社會恐慌的連續殺人密案 – 曼森謀殺集團及極道殺人魔 – 公諸於世,龐克音樂誕生,【午夜牛郎】成為第一部奪下奧斯卡最佳影片獎項的限制級電影,【芝麻街】兒童節目開始在電視播映 …

同年的7月11日,我來到人間。

新時代的開端

1969年代表著一個十年的結束,但也是人類新時代的開端。不同於之前的年代,許多在這一年立下的里程碑與發生的動亂在在定義了我們至今所存有的世界。但是許多人並未意識到這點 …

在1969年之前,這世界依然是非常保守的。然而在1969年,所有的人事物似乎變得都想突破限囿,爭取自由。一切都爆發了 – 思潮的爆發,情感的爆發,道德的爆發,甚至連科技也爆發了。整個世界好像串連起來搞叛變。我們現在所謂的「反文化」於此萌發。我的雙親也是其中的一份子,他們用私奔來對抗傳統與雙方的家庭。他們逃家,私訂終身,最後生下了我。這也造就了我頑皮叛逆的童年性格,我的成長過程便成了現世報的因果輪迴。在那段時光裡,雙親頭上頂著大蓬頭髮型,腿上掛條大喇叭褲,身上穿著鮮豔的大翻領印花襯衫。我老爸甚至會披著粉紅圍巾。在那個嬉皮年代裡,蓄留長髮是最殺的。六0年代中期瀰漫著「愛與和平」,性革命與藥物文化四處散布。那時候的世界似乎比現在更「自由」,相較而言,我們現在的限制比較少。難道真是如此嗎?

山寨與原味

許多現代的藝術與流行文化看起來非常粗糙膚淺。它們只是感官訴求,並沒有真的引起太多的思考與討論。乍看之下,你可能會覺得很「酷」,當你深究其中,卻是言之無物。不過最令我煩擾的是現在的音樂、藝術、流行與美學都是模仿來的。它們都是從六0與七0年代的藝術原型改編複製而來,卻沒有延續其靈魂與意義,一切變得只是「金玉其外,敗絮其中」。從昔日作品中攫取靈感並沒有甚麼不對,但我們應該要如何借屍還魂、除舊立新呢? 比改編更糟糕的是,打造次等山寨的山寨。我們都知道要讓完美變得更完美是困難的,但是我們能不能至少打造一個忠於原味的山寨?

我自己認為了解事物的發生源頭與歷程是很重要的。尤其當你想要自成一派的時候,這便顯得格外重要。這不僅適用於創意領域,也包括商業、科技、政治與社會範疇。如果你是一位汽車設計師,你就必須徹底了解從第一輛福特汽車所開啟的汽車工業世紀以及競爭對手目前的生產重心。如果你是一位搖滾音樂作者,掌握搖滾音樂所蘊含的深度與廣度對你來說便是很重要的,這包括非洲部落音樂史,藍調音樂史及其演變成硬式搖滾的發展過程。萬物皆有所本,能夠了解彼此的關係與根源是有其必要的。

零世代

我們不能忘記六0與七0是個喧囂的年代。整個世界淹沒在人權運動、戰爭、暴動與政變的洪流之中。這也許是讓人們有進一步表達自我的理由與動機 ? 到底是時代決定我們,還是我們決定世代?

我一直認為嘻哈饒舌音樂不可能在中港台三地成氣候,因為我們並沒有相關歷史與環境的孕育。這並不是說我們不喜歡嘻哈饒舌這樣的樂風,而是它欠缺在這裡存在的「理由」。嘻哈饒舌音樂乃是源於非美歷史、族群鎮壓、幫派文化與暴力。它是來自於表達自我的必要,而不只是一種音樂類型或特定聲響。中港台的年輕世代是否像嘻哈饒舌音樂誕生時一樣,因為種族鎮壓、暴力與歧視而受苦? 或者他們只是因為很酷而採用一種音樂與時尚風格? 我經常在台北、香港、北京的街頭上看到一些打扮得很嘻哈的年輕人,但是我總好奇他們真的會「說到做到」嗎? 當然,像他們這樣的穿著並沒有錯,可是難道我們不應該更深一層的探究 : 我們只是流於表面,還是真實活出自我 ? 也許這個世代不只是膚淺與無厘頭的,他們甚至對自己是無知的。有人說上兩個世代是X跟Y,現在這個世代是Z。這是代表「零(Zero)世代」嗎?

你在哪裡 ?

1969年9月26日,披頭四發表了最後一張專輯【艾比路】 (正式的「讓它去吧」)沒多久,他們便散團了。這張專輯跟他們多數的作品一樣,叫好又叫座。披頭四的音樂總是融合了藍調、古典、爵士、鄉村及許多其他類型。然而它並不是山寨版。它是正宗原創。它也是創意十足、情感豐富與誠實直率的。我認為這些因素讓披頭四成為了歷史上最具影響力的偉大樂團之一。

但是那是屬於六0年代與七0年代的精神。老鷹合唱團在他們的經典名曲 “加州旅店”中寫得最貼切 :「自從1969年以後,我們就沒有那種精神了…」

1969年,你在哪裡? 如今,你又在哪裡?


I Am 69
By David Tao

In 1969, the first man landed on the moon, Nixon became one of most infamous presidents in US history, students from Harvard and Cornell began mass anti-war riots, Woody Allen wrote his controversial book about sex, gays fought back for the first time against police, the first Rock music festival (Woodstock) was born, the Beatles released one of their most famous records (Abbey Road) and then broke up, Led Zeppelin produced the first heavy metal album, two disturbing and mysterious killing sprees (the Manson family murders and Zodiac killer) unfolded, Punk music was born, Midnight Cowboy became the first X-rated movie to win an Oscar for Best Picture, Sesame Street aired its first show and…

In that same year, on July 11th, I was born.

1969 may have been the end of a decade but it was, in fact, the birth of a new era for mankind. This year was somehow different than previous and was filled with landmark achievements events and cataclysmic episodes that to this day define who we are as a world. But many of us are not aware of this…

The world before 1969 was still a very conservative place. However, in 1969, it seemed that everything and everybody needed to break free. There was an explosion…an explosion of thought, expression, morality and even technology. It seemed like the world as a whole united to rebel. It was the birth of counter-culture as we know it today. My parents, for one, decided to rebel as they acted against tradition and their families by eloping. They ran off, got married, and had me. I, in turn, grew up as a very mischievous and rebellious child which could have been a case of instant karma. In those days, my parents had big hair, wore bell-bottoms and bright, flowered-print shirts with huge collars. My dad even wore a pink scarf. It was the hippie-era and it was cool to wear your hair long. The mid 60’s was all about “peace and love”, embracing a sexual revolution and drug sub-culture. The world seemed so much more “free” than the world we live in today though, comparatively speaking, we now have less restrictions. Or is it really so?

A lot of art and pop culture from today seems very cursory and superficial. It’s meant to appeal only to our senses but doesn’t really generate much thought or discussion. It may seem “cool” at first but when you dig deeper to find a meaning, you find nothing. However, what disturbs me the most is that much of today’s music, art, fashion and esthetic sense is very derivative. It is derived and “copied” from original art forms of the 60’s and 70’s without retaining its soul or meaning. It’s nothing but a shell that looks good from the outside but is empty within. There’s nothing wrong with drawing on inspiration from the past but how can we create something new and original with it? What’s worse than creating something derivative is creating an inferior copy of a copy. We all know it’s difficult to improve upon something that’s already perfect but can we at least copy it faithfully?

I personally feel that understanding the history and origin of things is very important. It is absolutely important if you are trying to create something original yourself. This pertains not only to the creative field but also to the business, technological, political and sociological realms. If you are a car designer, it’s imperative to thoroughly understand the genesis of the automobile from the first Ford to what your competitors are building now. If you write rock songs, then it’s important to understand the depth and width of how rock music evolved, from the history of African tribal music, to the Blues, and to how it evolved into Hard Rock. All things are born out of other things so it’s important to know how they evolved and what their root are.

We must not forget that the 60’s and 70’s were a tumultuous time. The world was engulfed in human rights movements, wars, riots and political upheaval. Perhaps this gave people a reason and motivation to express themselves? Is it that the age defined us and not us that defined our generation?

I’ve always argued that real hip-hop and rap music cannot grow in Taiwan, HK, or China because we don’t have the history and environment to nurture it. It’s not that we don’t like hip-hop and rap as a style of music but that it doesn’t have a “reason” to exist here. Hip-hop and rap’s origins lie in African-American history, repression, gang culture and violence. It is born out of a necessity to speak out and express one’s self and not merely just a genre of music or a particular sound. Do the young generation of Taiwan, HK and China suffer from a repression, violence and discrimination that hip-hop and rap was born out of? Or are they merely adopting a style of music and dress because it’s cool? I frequently see on the streets of Taipei, HK and Beijing kids who are dressed like rappers and hip-hop artists but I always wonder if they really “walk the talk”? Of course, there’s no crime in dressing the way they do but isn’t it important to go deeper and find out if we are merely adopting an appearance or really living true to ourselves? Perhaps this generation is not only one that is superficial and doesn’t have meaning, it doesn’t even know itself anymore. They say the last two generations are named X and Y. This current one is named Z. Does it stand for Generation Zero?

On September 26, 1969, the Beatles released their last album (officially it was Let It Be), Abbey Road. Soon after, they broke up. The album, like the majority of their albums, was a great success. The Beatles’ music always had many traces of blues, classical, jazz, country and a host of other genres. However, it was NOT derivative. It was very original. It was also very creative, expressive and honest. That, in my opinion, is one of the reasons why the Beatles are one of the most influential and greatest bands in history.

But that was the spirit of the 60’s and 70’s. The Eagles’ said it best in their hit song, “Hotel California” with the lyric, ”we haven’t had that spirit here since 1969…

Where were you in 1969? Where are you, today?

简单翻了下。。。很多错误难免的,欢迎大家纠正。。。。
引用:
Lavina, thoughtful piece of writing and I do think you have your point. However, here are a few thoughts on what you've said...
Lavina,你很有想法也有你自己的观点。但是我也想对你说的发表点看法

"I don't get it. Is the 60’s something to be proud of? "
“我不明白,60年代有什么好值得骄傲的?”

As a collective conscious, yes, the 60's is an era and a time in history that we should be knowledgeable and aware of. There's much we can learn (or,

perhaps, forget about) from history though, we, as humans often turn our heads from the past. I don't think anyone attached personal pride to that period of

time in any of these replies.
总体而言,的确如此。作为一个历史时期,我们应该对60年代有所了解。虽然我们应该向前看,但是还是有很多历史需要我们去学习(或者,也许是需要忘记的)。我不觉得有人

因为这个时代而洋洋得意啊。

"But how many of those who upheld the “Love
& Peace” banner of the 60’s knew the true meaning of
love and peace?"

“而60年代举着 爱与和平 旗帜的人又有多少人真正了解 爱与和平的意义呢?”

I don't think we have any quantitative account of how many people knew the meaning, however, there were many movements that led to action and changes during

that period which are still influential today in the peace keeping process. That's history that's been written. How does one measure influence in human

history?

我不知道到底有多少人了解爱与和平的意义,但是,是很多相关的运动为那个时代带来了变化,而这些变化迄今为止仍在为和平事业做着贡献。这就是历史。人类历史上的影响力

又该如何衡量呢?

"Embracing sexual freedom isn’t love, neither is it
true freedom. Rather, I see it as selfishness and self-
indulgence. Don’t you think the many problems of
society today take root from the sexual revolution of
the 60’s?"
“性自由不是爱,也不是真正的自由,我觉得那只是自私和放纵。你不觉得现在很多社会问题,归根结底都是60年代的性革命惹出来的吗?”

Again, nobody said that embracing sexual freedom is love. Sexual freedom and love are two separate things and were never used in comparison. Whether sexual

freedom in and of itself is selfish or self-indulgence is your personal opinion, like you said. Sexual freedom was not born in the 1960's. It was something

that existed probably as long as man existed. I'm sure one of sexual freedom's heights was during dynastic Chinese civilization and Roman civilizations? Are

there not evils from every era of mankind post-Genesis?

重申一下,没有人说过性自由就是爱。性自由和爱是两个截然不同的东西,完全没有可比性。性自由是否如你所说的是自私和放纵,都只是你的个人观点罢了。性自由并不是60年

代才有的。可能从人类存在开始就有了。我敢肯定性自由的最高峰是在古代中国或是古罗马文明时期?从人类起源起,每个时代都有其罪恶的地方,不是吗?

"Speaking of freedom, what’s true freedom? Is it being
able to do as one please? Nature has its law and
order, so is our society. If everyone does as he
pleases, what will the world become? How can peace be
found then?"
“说到自由,真正的自由是什么?为所欲为吗?大自然和人类社会都有他们的秩序。如果每个人都为所欲为,世界会变成什么样?而和平又何在呢?”

Are you defending a particular religion or moral concept? Freedom is what you make of it and that definition changes with different societies, eras and

governments. Freedom does not mean anarchy or some kind of an existential society defined by Nietzsche. This freedom isn't any extreme definition of the word

but the basic human need to express one's self (in a socially responsible manner) without harming others. I don't find this form of freedom offensive, do

you?
你是在捍卫某个宗教还是道德观念?何谓自由在于你怎么看待它,自由的定义是随社会,时代和政治而变化的。自由并不等同于混乱,或者是尼采所定义的社会存在。这个自由并

不是某种极端的定义,而是人类表达自己的基本需求(以对社会负责任的方式)不能伤害到别人。我觉得这种形式的自由并不会侵犯到他人,你觉得呢?

"The youth today may embrace hip-hop without
understanding the soul of hip-hop. How is that
different from those of the 60’s who embraced “love &
peace” without truly understanding love and peace? I
don’t see those of the 60’s being any less
superficial, just a lot more conceited."
“现在的年轻人酷爱嘻哈却并不了解嘻哈的灵魂。这和60年代的人叫嚣着爱与和平却并不了解什么是爱与和平有区别吗?我觉得60年代的人也不见得有什么深度,只是更自负罢了



Hip-hop is a form or music or, to some, a form of dress or esthetics. The "movement" of love and peace was a thought, attitude or perhaps, even, ideology.

How can these two be compared? It's comparing apples and oranges, which is better?
嘻哈是一种音乐形式,或者对一些人来说是一种服装文化和美感。爱与和平的”运动”是一种想法,一种态度,或者说是一种理想主义。这两者有可比性吗?这就好像苹果和桔子

哪个好吃一样,没有意义。

Perhaps if you wanted to compare the hip-hop and hippie movement and their attached "lifestyles" that would be more pertinent.
如果你是在比较嘻哈和嬉皮运动以及他们的“生活方式”,可能还有点说头。

Please remember, the hippie movement and lifestyle in the 60's was not a transplanted culture or form, it evolved in the 60's in California. Hip-hop did NOT

evolve in Asia. It evolved amongst African-Americans and their lifestyles. Therefore, my point was that in order to truly understand the "soul" of hip-hop

(especially being that it's not indigenous to our culture) we need to delve deeper into understanding it's origins and roots. My other point was that hip-hop

music would find it difficult to sustain itself in Asia because we've transplanted it's physical elements but not it's inner core. Is there anything wrong

with "embracing" these exterior or esthetic elements? Of course not. However, the soul and meaning of things gets lost in time which, to me, is worth

lamenting.
请记住,60年代的嬉皮运动和生活方式并不是一种外来文化,它融入在了60年代加州的生活中。而嘻哈与亚洲无关。嘻哈是美国黑人的生活方式。因此,我的观点是,想要真正了

解嘻哈的“灵魂”(尤其嘻哈并不是我们的本土文化)我们应该要更深入的了解它的根源。我的另一个想法是,嘻哈很难在亚洲立足,因为我们只是接触到了它的外在而不是核心

。那么“接受”这种外在的美好的事物有错吗?当然没错。但是,事物的灵魂和意义随着时光流逝,我觉得很悲哀。

This piece was not written to be conceited or offensive but to offer to some people a view into an era that I found very seminal in the making of our modern

20th century world. I was born on the tail of that decade but was a benefactor from it. I didn't expect some of you would take to the defensive on this. I

hope this explains somewhat my intentions and motivations.
我写这篇回复并不是因为自负或者想抨击谁,只是想让你们了解一个对现代影响很大的时代。我生于60年代末,收益良多。我不指望所有人都认同我。只是希望能让你们稍微了解

一下我的意图和动机。
