迷失音乐+132. 夜航 · 通勤爵士 / 站台即景1978年，Brian Eno的《Ambient 1: Music For Airports》以"为空间设计音乐"的理念开启了环境音乐。40年后加州乐团Psychic Temple以“Music For Bus Stops”回应这份先锋遗产，将视角从机场转向街头巴士站——将音乐从过境空间引回到城市基层节点。**对Eno的致敬与再定义** Brian Eno的《机场音乐》以其低调、无干扰却富有结构的背景乐，为”焦虑而冷峻"的机场空间营造一份宁静。Psychic Temple在2016年专辑《Plays Music For Airports》中，A面翻奏了Eno的“1/1”，而B面则原创了“Music For Bus Stops”。他们既是致敬者也是巧妙的批评者。 乐队主脑Chris Schlarb曾言，他们希望将《机场音乐》从”被分析的博物馆藏品"中解放出来，让其回归现实场景。他们相信："我们都在一起，可以为彼此留出空间，而且很平静。"在这样的语境下，爵士乐是贴地气的、社会性的，是夜行中人、街头工人、过往旅客的共享音乐。他们通常在周五夜听见爵士，在巴士站听见爵士，在街头玩爵士，但在机场听见了氛围爵士。 这正是"Music For Bus Stops”中隐含的提问：如果氛围音乐是为机场而设计，那么爵士乐是否也可以成为街头和巴士站的声音，爵士乐可以是艺术家自我表达，也可以是城市公共生活的有机组成部分。**曲目** 本期选曲将爵士、氛围、即兴与实验音乐并置，为深夜的公交站牌、等待与行走提供一种非典型也非鬼畜的聆听体验：00:00 1. Richard Barbieri - The Experience Of Swimming (Live 2017) 前Japan键盘手Richard Barbieri现场演绎，此版本录于利物浦圣玛格丽特教堂，萨克斯手Lisen Rylander Löve与小号手Luca Calabrese的加入，将原曲从80合成器美学转化为教堂声学空间内的即兴对话。 06:43 2. Psychic Temple - Music For Bus Stops 收录于2016年专辑《Plays Music For Airports》。呼应氛围音乐的“无菌化等待美学”，需强调身体在场性，是Chris Schlarb实践的直接音乐化诠释，将爵士乐从“被欣赏的对象”转变为“被共享的环境”。它代表着一种“去舞台化策略”，让音乐自然融入疲惫而真实的城市场域，成为通勤者的“无意识陪伴”。24:25 3. Elysian Spring - Lotus 收录于1969年发行的唯一专辑《Glass Flowers》，灵性爵士罕见作品。 受到戴夫·布鲁贝克（Dave Brubeck）和坎农鲍尔·阿德利（Cannonball Adderley）等人的影响，并对早期新世纪音乐表现出浓厚兴趣。他们经常在马萨诸塞州西部的田野里练习，保持更自然的风格。 “Lotus”以其独特的双长笛编制而脱颖而出，在演奏过程中拆解长笛的实验性方式使得乐曲呈现出迷幻、灵性和自由即兴的氛围。此曲被收录23年合辑《Spiritual Jazz 14: PRIVATE》中，该合辑致力于挖掘深层次的模态和灵性爵士乐。32:28 4. Laurie Anderson & Marshall Allen - Phenomenon 收录于2024年专辑《Outer Spaceways Incorporated》，由实验艺术家Laurie Anderson与Sun Ra萨克斯手Marshall Allen合作，模糊语言、电子与自由爵士的边界，“粗糙质感”和不确定性，成为“抵抗过度设计化城市的声音武器”。34:48 5. Pablo A. Gimenez - Procession Pablo A. Gimenez（1955–2013）是西班牙萨拉戈萨的作曲家，活跃于20世纪80年代的西班牙地下音乐场景。他的音乐融合了电子、爵士、实验和具体音乐等元素，深受埃德加·瓦雷兹（Edgar Varèse）、皮埃尔·谢弗（Pierre Schaeffer）和皮埃尔·亨利（Pierre Henry）等先锋作曲家的影响。https://edicionesfontenebro.bandcamp.com/album/1987-199136:16 6. Leon Parker - It Is What It Is 收录于1998年专辑《Awakening》，是Parker对爵士乐传统的一次解构。他摒弃复杂的鼓组配置，仅用少量打击乐器构建节奏，以此挑战爵士乐对技术炫耀的迷恋。这种“减法”源于他对资本社会过度消费的批判，音乐上则体现为对原始节奏本质的回归。Parker通过空间留白与重复性律动（如循环的军鼓敲击），模仿城市环境中机械声的规律性（如公交站雨棚滴水声的随机节奏），将爵士乐从“表演艺术”转化为“听觉环境的有机延伸”，并且强调触觉节奏（如手掌击打鼓面），呼应其“embodi rhythm”（具身节奏）理论，即通过肢体动作直接传递能量，而非依赖技术修饰。45:30 7. Wadada Leo Smith & Amina Claudine Myers - Conservatory Gardens 收录于2024年专辑《Central Park's Mosaics of Reservoir, Lake, Paths and Gardens》，由AACM成员小号手Wadada Leo Smith与钢琴手Amina Claudine Myers合作，对中央公园温室花园的诗意。 54:30 8. Krononaut - PGC 20513 收录于2024年专辑《Krononaut II》，由Bill Laswell与吉田達也（Yoshida Tatsuya）主导的跨界项目，结合氛围电子与即兴演奏，常融入太空和科幻主题，"PGC 20513"可能是哪颗老远的星星编号。查看节目原文：https://music.163.com/m/program?id=3077662415&radio=152025-05-251h 07

The dude is legitimately one of the best ultra runners on the planet!
