a magical band from the country of Iceland. Thanks to them. In the last few days of rushing to the map (sleeping less than an hour a day), it was their music that made me struggle to survive. Their music is cold and ethereal at first, and after listening for a long time, they will not feel intoxicated and feel the happiness of being alive. Just like a winter swimming, the bath water came out, shivering from the cold, but slowly, the whole body became hot, and it lasted for a long time. I think the power of music is here. It was their music that made me not collapsed in the last few days. Some other music is like a summer shower, which is very enjoyable, but it will heat up from the inside to the outside in a while. As for some music, it will be irritable when listening to it, so I don’t bother to talk about it.
Although the computer is running SketchUp and Photoshop at the same time to process huge models and pictures when rushing to the drawing, occasionally open CAD or sometimes have to open Artlantis to render, if the poor computer is emotional, it will definitely strike (it also has three or four consecutive days No rest). But I still can’t bear to turn off the player that is playing Sigur Rós, because their music supports me. During the rendering waiting time, I’ll watch their 2006 documentary album "Heima", which means "go home". The Chinese translation is " "Listen to the Wind", this is a record of Sigur Rós ending his one-year world tour, holding a series of free performances in his hometown, in churches, abandoned factories, meadows, performance halls in small towns, or next to dams, empty An uninhabited wilderness. Sigur Rós used their pure and fierce aurora-like music with the Icelandic scenery displayed with a very charming shooting angle and technique. The two complement each other, the deep sky and the white clouds, the tranquil and endless sea and the beach. The matching of the backwashing waves is just like that, natural and casual, but perfect. Iceland is known as "Mist Island", "Frozen Land", and "Island of Ice and Fire". Aurora can be seen in autumn and early winter. In the documentary, the openness and refreshment of the plateau, the haze surrounding the short icebergs, the changing shadows under the clouds, the free flowing river water in the wilderness without river banks, the clear water under the ice, and the cool colors. The warm wooden houses, the fishing boats swaying quietly on the shore...Is this a dream or heaven? You can't see the ostentatious buildings and huge commercials at all. Only the short interview with Sigur Rós members inserted in the middle reminds that this is a documentary, but I think this is a perfect super long MV. There is very little language in it, but the words are concise and concise, from which you can understand their creative intentions and attitude towards life. Their business helplessness and reflection when they first became famous and the joy of focusing on music creation now can be seen at a glance. And the series of free performances that Sigur Rós returned home this time is "give back" in their words. Indeed, during the performance, they created a lot of songs for their hometown, some to express the natural scenery of their hometown, some to increase communication with people in their hometown, some to revitalize the abandoned traditional factory buildings, and some to protect the natural scenery. ...As a design or creation, discovering and satisfying people's needs and creating beautiful things are the most important. In "Heima", their music has been done and done very well.
Their music uses a percussion instrument similar to the Yangqin to produce a light-hearted sound; it also uses a violin to make a deep sigh; it also uses a long monophonic commentary made by an electronic piano; the piano's crisp and sweet percussion; a relaxed and slow rhythm. ; Of course there is also the lead singer jónsi’s sound like that day (although I really don’t want to use this abused word, but I can’t find other more suitable words, alas), it’s like a silky smoke; the whole combination makes it happen Their incomparable unique charm, beautiful, ethereal, poignant, and warm. When the music of Sigur Rós is fierce, it sounds cold to me. Even the strong drum beat, the violin's violent hiss, and the special method of pulling the guitar with strings can't conceal the inherent coldness. . One side of water and soil nourishes one side, and Iceland's special environment nourishes them. But don’t forget, Iceland’s geothermal is world-famous, and there is scorching magma in the icy underground. Therefore, the music of Sigur Rós will not make you cold to the bone, but will make you warm up from the heart and be full of energy. Of course this requires careful listening. Just like their way of creation, "Four people, find a place, don’t talk to each other much, just play and play, we feel that we are immersed in a certain atmosphere, we shape it, sculpt it, until it becomes Complete." I also appreciate the stage effects such as the Aurora illusion change, which also adds a lot to this, but this is only an enhancement. If you use the old saying to describe Sigur Rós, it means "sorrow but not sad, joy but not lust", which the ancients have already gained.
Suddenly I found that it was over. Music is not used for analysis, but for listening. Too much analysis will destroy its integrity. Music is about feeling. Although they don't understand Icelandic at all, it's enough to like it. If you like it, listen to it and let it become a part of yourself. Okay, let's stop here and listen to it again.
