Nie 18 X – Michael Nyman

Z gory przepraszam: znowu sie rozpisalem. No ale jak tu sie nie rozpisywac, kiedy poltorej godziny koncertu sprawia, ze czlowiekowi przelatuja przed oczami fragmenty jego "dojrzewania w muzyce" ;)

2009 to rok wybitnie koncertowy. Juz dawno w Polsce nie dzialo sie tyle dobrego jesli chodzi o muzyke na zywo. Coz, niedosyt pozostanie, bo nie wszystkie perelki dane mi bylo zobaczyc (Aphex Twin po raz pierwszy w Polsce :/). Z czystym sumieniem moge jednak powiedziec, ze chyba zaden rok nie przyniosl mi tylu muzycznych przezyc.
Najpierw Orbital (ze swoim pierwszym koncertem w Polsce) pokazali "jak sie robi elektronike".

Pozniej Nine Inch Nails (ze swoim pierwszym koncertem w Polsce) pokazali jak sie gra industrialnego rocka.

Koncert Motion Trio i Michaela Nymana wpasowal sie w tyn trynd, chociaz pierwszym w Polsce nie byl ;)

Michaela Nymana uslyszalem kilkanascie dobrych lat przed Motionami. Pacholeciem bedac zasluchiwalem sie w soundtracku z Fortepianu. Glosny film, bedacy z gatunku tych "nie dla dzieci", znalem tylko z przebitek telewizyjnych ubarwionych kawalkiem "Sacrifice". Nie moge powiedziec, ze marzylem by zobaczyc Nymana na zywo, bo moje marzenia w tym czasie skupialy sie glownie na klockach lego I commodorze 64. Z czasem jednak, wraz z fascynacja muzyka inna niz New Kids On The Block, zaczalem rozmyslac jak to wspaniale byloby wysluchac "Sacrifice" live.

Latka lece, Nyman pare razy gral juz w Polsce, z tego co pamietam m.in. Z Kronos Quartet. Nie mialem jednak przyjemnosci zobaczyc go na zywo. Chyba troche balem sie swojego nastawienia "Na Fortepian": glupio byloby isc na koncert czekajac na kilka utworow, ktore w dodatku wcale nie musza byc (i pewnie nie bylyby) zagrane. O Nymanie i jego muzyce troszke zapomnialem skupiajac sie na jego "znajomych": glownie Philipie Glassie, a pozniej Stevie Reichu czy Johnie Cage'u.

Wlasnie Philip Glass i jego "elektroniczny odpowiednik" Aphex Twin byli pierwszymi astystami, ktorzy przyszli mi na mysl gdy uslyszalem Motion Trio. Minimal. Fajny, zapetlony, hipnotyczny. Utwory dlugie, tworzace przestrzen, ambientowe... The Heart, Stars, Silence, Game IV. Wszystkie te kawalki moglaby zagrac zarowno orkiestra Philipa G., jak I dziwaczne maszyny Richarda D. Jamesa. Grali je jednak trzej gentlemani dzierzacy swinie (tudziez: cyje, akordeony). W rezultacie otrzymywalismy minimal inny. Minimal nasz: swojski, analogowy, niesamowicie autentyczny.

Troche dziwilem sie wszystkim, ktorzy szufladkowali chlopakow jako "jazz" (chociaz z drugiej strony: jazz jest tak obszernym pojeciem, ze moznaby nim opisac Rubika z Krawczykiem I tez ciezko bedzie sie przyczepic). Cieszylem sie jednak z kazdego eksperymentu, bo kazde niekonwencjonalne wykorzystanie akordeonu to dla Motionow maly kroczek ku wiekszej popularnosci. Mialem jednak nadzieje, ze z czasem beda odchodzic od kawalkow lekkich, latwych i wesolych, a ich eksperymenty beda szly w strone nawet nie tyle muzyki powaznej, co muzyki wspolczesnej. I tak wlasnie bylo: Penderecki czy Kilar w ich repertuarze byl dla mnie zapowiedzia dobrego kierunku.

Cholernie ucieszylem sie na wiadomosc, ze Nyman i Motion Trio zagraja cos wspolnie. Przeciez w zasadzie od tego sie zaczelo: od zapetlonych fraz wspolgrajacych ze soba. Dokladnie tak jak w minimalu elektronicznym - w zaloopowanych samplach, w odpalanych kolejnych sciezkach.

W sierpniu panowie dali maly "a taste of things to come". Na dziedzincu Zamku Krolewskiego zagrali conieco nowego materialu: kompozycji Michaela Nymana. Co tu duzo mowic - bylem zachwycony. Czekalem z niecierpliwoscia na kolejny koncert, tym razem juz wspolny z autorem wiekszosci kompozycji.

Doczekalem sie. 18 pazdziernika Michael Nyman i Motion Trio zagrali w Studiu Trojki koncert promujacy ich najnowsza, jeszcze goraca plyte. Zagrali swietnie. Utwory z Ksiegi Prospera, Rozpustnika czy Kontraktu Rysownika do tego "solowe" kompozycje - "Silence" Motionow i... wspomniany przeze mnie na samym poczatku "Sacrifice" z Fortepianu w wykonaniu Nymana (w polaczeniu z "The heart asks the pleasure first").
Cudo.
Obiektywnie trzeba przyznac, ze nie wszystkie utwory mozna bylo nazwac "lekkimi". Co jednak najwazniejsze balans pomiedzy "trudnymi" i "latwymi" utworami jak zawsze byl bez zarzutu.

Jestem fanem, a fani nie sa obiektywni. Wiem jednak, ze swietny niedzielny koncert nie jest dla Motion Trio muzycznym szczytem. Tak jak wystepy z Bobbym McFerrinem czy Trilokiem Gurtu, tak plyta z Michaelem Nymanem jest w gruncie rzeczy kamyczkiem milowym na drodze do CZEGOS WIELKIEGO. Kierunek dobry, wiec cala naprzod!

PS: Znajac Wasze tempo, to za +/- 2 lata wspolnie z Philipem Glassem badz Peterem Gabrielem nagracie soundtrack do jakiegos nowego filmu Martina Scorsese. Czego sobie i Wam zycze ;)

Z ostatniej chwili: Trojka udostepnila ladne video z koncertu: http://www.polskieradio.pl/trojka/koncerty/video/

Hello world,

it's me again.
Last week didn't really bring much news to me.
I'm still kind of busy getting used to my new schedule and so on.
Fortunately I could listen to lots of tracks.

Three acts were outstanding those last 7 days.
1) The Raveonettes - just like foreshadowed I really like their sound and bittersweet tunes (see last entry). I'm also following them on twitter now ^^
2) The ultra talented John Mayer whose new song gets to me more heavily than I would have expected after the first time I heard it (see title). This song is very calm and that's quite the opposite of my everyday life soundtrack (if there can be such a thing) :-P
In case you're curious look for the video on youtube.
3) Finally I'm really happy with music by Michael Nyman (-> "The Piano"). I like writing with it playing in the background, although there are also some tracks I'd rather skip. ^^

Well, I guess that's it for this time. If you wanna read more from me look at my blogs or twitter ;-)

Because I love this sort of thing, let's face it...

'First, make a list of your overall top-20 artists. Then, for each of these artists, add the 8 most similar artists to your list. Delete any duplicates, add up the number of entries on your list and this will give you some idea of how eclectic your listening habits are. A score of 9 represents an extremely unvaried musical taste while a 160 represents an extremely varied one.'

Дамы и господа, сегодня обсуждается статистика Last.fm по классической музыке.

Ladies and gentlemen, today our talk would be about classical music stats on Last.fm

russian rock

black metal
jazz
pop


Сначала наше традиционное упорядочение по количеству прослушиваний и слушателей.

First of all, our traditional arrangement with respect to number of plays and number of listeners.








Признаться честно, здесь не 100 исполнителей как обычно, а всего 85. Всяких авторов музыки к блокбастерам я безжалостно удалил из статистики. Тем не менее, эти графики демонстрируют нам кое-что, чего не наблюдалось ранее: резкое падение популярности ближе к концу выборки. Такое впечатление, что существует некий стандартный набор классических композиторов, за пределами которого - полная безызвестность.

To be honest, there are not 100 artists as usual, but only 85, because I deleted all the authors of popular movies' soundtracks without a trace of pity. The graphs exhibit something new to us: a rapid decrease of popularity near the end. It seems like there's a standard set of classical composers, and composers out of that set are rather obscure.




А здесь видно, что "музыку заказывают" три самых известных композитора: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven. Отрыв от общей массы довольно большой.

From that plot we can see, that three most famous composers dominate in classical music: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven.





А это график удельного числа прослушиваний для различных "классиков". Здесь ситуация еще хуже, чем в джазе - среднее значение составляет всего 9.5, максимальное значение этого показателя имеет неведомая широким массам D'Oyly Carte Opera Company - 36 прослушиваний на слушателя.

Here is specific number of scrobbles for classical composers and performers. The situation here is even worse than with jazz music. The average value is 9.5 and the maximal value belongs to quite unheard-of D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, which has 36 plays per listener.




Гистограмма лишь подтверждает то, что классику народ слушает без энтузиазма.

The histogram just confirms the fact that nowadays people listen to classical music without enthusiasm.




Наибольшее число сообщений в рупоре имеют наиболее популярные композиторы, как и следовало ожидать.

As one can expect, the most popular composers have the largest number of messages in their shoutboxes.




А здесь мы вновь видим эффект "потенциального баръера", заключающийся в том, что лишь исполнители с удельным числом прослушиваний выше среднего могут иметь большое число сообщений в рупоре. Правда, здесь он несколько хуже выражен из-за малости этого среднего значения.

And here I see the effect of "potential barrier" again: only artists with more-than-average number of plays per listener can have a lot of shouts. But in classical music it is less present than in another genres because of low average specific number of scrobbles.

P.S. Суммарное число прослушиваний классики на last.fm - 150 миллионов.
The total playcount of classical music on last.fm is 150 millions.
