沼澤 & alok


九 龍灣海邊有一幢大樓,名叫九龍灣國際展貿中心。不錯,又是展貿,又是國際。不知有多少人知道這座大樓的存在,要不是多少外國樂隊如primal scream、prodigy、mogwai、placebo、strokes和已收隊的suede等來港演出都以九展作場地的話,我本想我也不會現在合 眼也懂從地鐵站走過去。今天沼澤和alok在九展開show,想真一點原來到那裡看本地的樂隊,今天還是第一次。

澤沼來自廣州,第一次聽他們演出其實是不久前藝術節的節目「東主有喜」, 節目請來了像是五隊樂隊向香港band壇致敬。沼澤當天玩了哪隊樂隊的歌記不起了,其實也玩了誰不的歌也不重要,反正他們翻玩的方法總是在整首曲裡抽一段 兩段,然後便大興土木,效果與重新創作幾無分別,這也令其他樂隊——包括當紅得很的假音人——吃了一鼻子塵,全給比下去慚愧不已。到底,翻玩的「翻」字, 意思除了「重覆」實在還有「翻新」。

沼 澤的陣容是兩支結他一個keyvoard和一個鼓手,結他手兼主音海亮說話很多,但他們的歌卻是大量的演奏。今晚他們玩新歌也玩舊歌,豐富的層次把演出的 場地填滿也把觀眾的情緒都帶動了。相較於已收於於沼澤/城市的舊歌,他們的新歌實驗性還要再強一點,招牌電子手鼓的節奏也許還是恐龍得很巨型很很,但明顯 對重覆的旋律的依賴再少了。換言之,他們的音樂更不能輕易記起口嗡嗡地邊走邊哼,更像即興創作,樂隊四人似是全身陷入了聲效的那層土質中,漫遊對 話嬉戲。觀眾絕對可以繼續被動地消費旋律節奏和聲效,但台上的樂手卻老早跳出了複制和提供既成作品的表演者角色。旁觀他人的愉悅,可以很變態,但對著沼澤 這班自愉得近乎專斷的樂手,更可以是天大機會再思「觀眾」的位置角色應如何調節。

沼 澤的歌很抽象,對在城市生活感受很多,聽著他們將抽象的想法移繹成或者同樣抽象的電聲加樂器的語言,感覺很好。原來自已經常念茲在茲的音樂最好別太輕省輕 考,最好多些內容多些關懷,其實也可以不一頭栽進太令人沮喪無力的社會政治事情,沼澤作了一次無話可說的示範,媒界本身如何可以講說話,講無關社會政治懶 大問題而肯深思有深思的說話。

接 著的alok,他本人背上結他,也帶來了一班很好玩的樂隊。bassist留像廣島原子彈般的磨雲髮型,渾圓的程度令人差點搞不清楚他哪邊是正面哪邊是背 面。而歌手則是如stone roses的ian brown般滿場崩跳唱腔懶散。而事實上,他們的歌除了若干是全演奏的外,好些便頗有stone roses的影子,接通搖滾與跳舞。樂手都低著頭shoe gazing忘我的演奏大搖大擺。可惜的是主音多次甚至走下台拉觀眾起立共舞,除了與我同行的一位友人乖乖聽命起身繼續搖晃外,其他人可謂老樹座著盤根採 你都傻。 最後他們翻玩joy division的歌,將原來近乎苛刻虐待的postpunk名曲玩得大鳴大放,效果是一樣的忘我fing頭。

記 得中學時曾有好一段時間是本地樂隊演出的常客,自己的結他技術是毫無寸進千年一爛,但老師卻是曾經頗受注目期望的big mac結他手。之後越聽越不是味道,類hip hop的樂隊越燒越烈,漸感無癮;近日更以為幾是給清新派獨佔了(看過一位blogger的評論實在入肉不過,大意是:清新不應等如沉悶),尤有甚者是有 好些創傷性的評論指出,獨立音樂有甚麼了不起,周杰倫的音樂也比許多所謂獨立樂隊實驗多啦。周杰倫的歌實在少聽,無能力回應以上的評語,但看過今晚的沼澤 和alok的演出後,大團搖滾的生命力仍然旺盛,慶幸不是除了主流便只有清新。

題外話:周某成為編輯或記者唯一的可能證據,就是可以持這個blog上去跟人家說:「我識得寫相的caption。」
