Bela Lugois’s Dead – Bauhaus ????????????????????????《貝拉·路高西已死》——包豪斯
包豪斯是一只1978年組建的英國樂隊(duì),“其可以說是歌特?fù)u滾的教父級(jí)樂隊(duì),他們以刺耳的吉他和弦和冰冷飄渺的合成器創(chuàng)造了后朋克搖滾中簡約主義的、孤高陰暗的代表性風(fēng)格?!薄园俣劝倏?/p>
Bela Lugois,1882年出生于奧匈帝國,演過舞臺(tái)劇,后到美國成為了恐怖電影演員。曾因出演《德庫拉伯爵》而聲名鵲起,被稱贊為“電影表現(xiàn)主義的真誠實(shí)踐者”,“路高西演德古拉如此有氣勢,形象如此持久,就是因?yàn)樗麄冎g沒有距離——他就是德古拉”??梢哉f,路高西是那個(gè)年代哥特式電影的最杰出的演繹者之一。包豪斯樂隊(duì)的這首歌被稱為哥特?fù)u滾謎心中的“圣經(jīng)”,在繼承那個(gè)時(shí)代實(shí)驗(yàn)性音樂精神的同時(shí)亦是對(duì)路高西的一種致敬。
歌詞:
White on white
白上之白
【注:《白上之白》(或?yàn)椤栋咨习住窞橹辽现髁x創(chuàng)始人馬列維奇的著名畫作)。至上主義主張消除抽象符號(hào)與現(xiàn)實(shí)的割裂,方式將多余的顏色、形象、曲線等要素抽離,將一切空間化、平面化和幾何化,留下最基本元素。因此作品最后呈現(xiàn)的形態(tài)多是幾何狀,黑白色極簡的樣子?!爸辽现髁x 即:否定了繪畫中的主題、物象、內(nèi)容、空間之后,簡化成為了最終極的幾何形態(tài)表現(xiàn),人們的意識(shí)在接近于零的內(nèi)容之中,在繪畫的黑色、白色靜默之中被表現(xiàn)出來?!保ㄒ岳钣延? 馬列維奇的至上主義繪畫 [J],俄羅斯文藝,2011(03):131頁)。馬列維奇的至上主義對(duì)包豪斯學(xué)派多有影響,樂隊(duì)這里顯然在致敬馬列維奇】
