七首诗和一些耳鸣

夏宇 + 颜峻 – 七首诗和一些耳鸣（书+CD）

…Otherwise it is hard to say, but there is an excellent radicalism in these sounds that however fit wonderfully well with the recited poetry, which seem to posses very little emotion (I might be wrong there).
Hsia Yu recites these in a way that isn’t imposing or acting, but just as it is — I suppose. In all its extremity this is actually a quiet release — how curious. Very enjoyable, whatever it means.

………否则很难说，但是这些声音中有一种极好的激进主义，无论如何与吟诵的诗歌非常吻合，这些诗歌似乎很少有情感（我可能在那里错了）。
Hsia Yu以一种不强加或行动的方式背诵这些，但就像它一样 – 我想。 在它的极端，这实际上是一个安静的释放 – 多么好奇。 非常愉快，无论它意味着什么。(機器翻譯）

A more accurate album title than this would be difficult to find.

I went into this album having very few expectations. The two artists involved have no work that I am familiar with, and I did not realize until after having heard it that the great Taku Unami was responsible for the mastering. After having heard it a few times now, I am very much looking forward to seeing where these musicians take their projects in the future, as what they’ve crafted here is one of my favorite listening experiences of the past several months.

The combination of piercing high pitched tones, quiet and resonant field recordings, and Chinese poetry delivered in a tone that can be either relaxing or menacing depending on how it was recorded is a wonderland of uniquely atmospheric and disturbingly haunted sounds. At times, 夏宇 [Hsia Yu]’s breathy voice sounds so close to you that she may as well be reciting these poems from directly within your ear canal, an auditory experience that can be quite frightening.

I don’t speak a word of Chinese, but that is no hindrance for my enjoyment since I can mostly listen to the poems as tonal pieces where the instrument is the human voice. Some people may not be willing or able to do this, and for them I’d recommend either staying away from this album or getting a translation. I’d also recommend staying away from this album for anyone who thinks the title is unappealing. I mean really, the fact that it’s called 7 Poems and Some Tinnitus is all you need to know about this album before you figure out whether or not you’ll like it.

I’d need to hear it a few more times if I wanted to be track-specific with my praises, but for now I will leave it at this: 7 Poems and Some Tinnitus is a strange, often terrifying journey through harsh, difficult sounds, though it carries with it a wonderfully rewarding atmospheric experience that is not easily described or recreated. Without a doubt one of the best albums of 2016.

比這更準確的專輯標題很難找到。

我進入這張專輯的期望很少。所涉及的兩位藝術家沒有我熟悉的作品，直到聽說偉大的Taku Unami負責掌握之後我才意識到。在聽了幾次之後，我非常期待看到這些音樂家將來在哪裡開展他們的項目，因為他們在這裡製作的是過去幾個月我最喜歡的聽力體驗之一。

刺耳的高音調，安靜和共鳴的現場錄音，以及根據錄音方式放鬆或威脅的中國詩歌的組合，是一個獨特的大氣和令人不安的鬧鬼聲的仙境。有時，夏宇的呼吸聲聽起來如此接近你，她也可能直接在你的耳道內背誦這些詩歌，這種聽覺經歷可能非常可怕。

我不會說中文，但這對我的享受沒有任何障礙，因為我可以把詩歌作為音調作品，而樂器是人聲。有些人可能不願意或無法做到這一點，對於他們，我建議要么遠離這張專輯，要么獲得翻譯。對於那些認為標題沒有吸引力的人，我也建議遠離這張專輯。我的意思是，在你弄清楚你是否喜歡這張專輯之前，你需要了解這首專輯中的7首詩和一些耳鳴。

如果我想要跟踪我的讚美，我需要再多聽幾次，但是現在我會把它留在這裡：7首詩和一些耳鳴是一個奇怪的，經常是可怕的難以置信的艱難聲音之旅雖然它帶有一種奇妙的回報大氣體驗，但不容易描述或重新創造。毫無疑問，2016年最佳專輯之一。(機器翻譯）
