nitin sawhney
乐队简介Nitin Sawhney是一个印度乐队。它的风格极为独特。 Nitin Sawhney具有太多的元素。最为醒目的就是他们的印度风格。电子，英伦，爵士，trip-hop，Nitin Sawhney将这些元素统统融入其中。当这些元素与印度曲风融合在一起的时候，居然有意想不到的奇异效果。非常动听，也非常的迷幻。
Nitin Sawhney用特色鲜明的印度风格做为所有专辑的核心，具有印度歌曲最明显的特点。旋律呈现出波浪形与曲线形。并且大量运用了拉格和塔拉曲调。你可以感受到古老的异国情调却又不失现代感。(拉格和塔拉为印度教的一种传统曲调，拉格是发展得很高的旋律体系，塔拉是很复杂的节奏节拍体系。) 由于这种多元化曲风，使旋律及具高度的弹性和可让音乐家有即兴发挥的巨大空间。在这空间里可以自由伸展与畅想。正如印度当代音乐大师拉维香卡也说的: “在我们的音乐中，从一个音进行到另一个音常常不是直线式的，而是一种精致巧妙的运动。” 更重要的是Nitin Sawhney将印度曲风与电子，英伦，爵士，trip-hop这些元素的结合的如此天衣无缝。电子在专辑中也占到了重要的因素。各式各样的装饰音，给你充分发挥想象的空间。为专辑蒙上了一层更神秘的色彩。呈现出一种古老与未来结合的完美。如同在时空自由穿梭。而专辑中的爵士元素也已经被完全电子化，成为了专辑中印度曲风的奠基与灵魂要素。由此看来，Nitin Sawhney已经把欧洲音乐与印度文化同化为一体了。达到了互相融入的的状态。而那些认为电子乐是没有感情的人，在领略过Nitin Sawhney之后就会知道电子乐是如何创造感情的。乐队有男女两个主唱。男声的音色高亢圆润，女声的音色温和流畅。时而印度风情洋溢时而忧伤的情绪泛滥。两种音色很好的融合在一起。把乐队自身的特色表现到极致。专辑中运用了很多自然的声音，雨声，海浪声……这些声音让你闭上眼睛时就能在头脑中呈现美妙的画面。乐队核心人物Nitin Sawhney，他是英国著名的电子音乐制作人，同时也是才华横溢的演员、作家和编剧。新片比以前的更完整更有滋味，和1999年那张获得Mercury音乐奖提名的专辑《Beyond Skin》一样吸引。从慢拍忧郁的“Everything”开始，唱片就开始利用每个时机呈现出纠缠的音调，收集着懒散，脉动的嘻哈，妖魅的划弦吉他，电影式弦乐，文雅的鼓与贝司，西班牙弗拉门科风情，高超的唱盘技巧，以及将所有这些融合成为一个又一个旋涡。而在唱片后半段，融进了更多有趣的瞬间，比如醇和的R&B和清淡的放客。这些都使唱片传递出迷人的异国气息。专辑明细《Introducing Nitin Sawhney》UK compilation for the James Taylor Quartet, Talvin Singh collaborator who fuses elements of jazz, world music, electronica and drum & bass to create his own unique hybrid. 12 tracks hand chosen by the artist from his first 2 LPs for Outcaste, 'Migration' (1995) and 'Displacing The Priest' (1996).

《Philtre M》Over the last two years, multi award-winning Nitin Sawhney has gigged extensively with his live band, DJed for some of the hottest clubnights on the planet, scored numerous films across Europe, Asia, and America, and written/performed for internationally acclaimed orchestras. Ultimately Sawhney comes back to his first love - to present the workings of his deepest thoughts and feelings in the context of his most exciting album to date, Philtre. Philtre is a radical departure and movement on from his previous work. This is a journey that builds in pace and tempo, progressively revealing some of the most awe-inspiring vocal performances and instrumentation imaginable. From the dark, moody, and evocative opening tracks Everything and Spark, through the rich vocal textures of Mausam and Journey, to the rhythmic and emotionally charged sounds of Ojos de Brujo and R&B vocalist Taio, Sawhney expertly navigates the most volatile musical territories to create an unprecedented mixture of sonic brilliance. Inspired by the energy that comes from countless nights of performing in front of vast and varied crowds around the world, Philtre reaches deep into the soul - to challenge, inspire, and provoke. Featured artists include: Reena Bhardwaj, Jacob Golden, Tina Grace, Fink, Sharon Duncan, Saroj Sawhney, Vikter Duplaix, Taio, Ojos de Brujo, and Jayanta Bose.Search and deploy. V2. 2005.

《Koyal》
城市褪去白日的喧嚣与颓靡，只是清冷，并且落寞。此时观照到内心时分，听到血液暗自涌动的声响，它一直在那里，一直与遥远神秘的他方相呼应。
反反复复地听Koyal，旖旎妖娆的声音，似乎暗含着某种魔力，感觉仿佛置身于幻觉的边界，周围似有微光闪烁，海浪声，海鸟喁喁声，四周弥漫着迷幻斑斓、芬芳四溢的烟雾，在空气里蔓延·····扩散······
传统的锡塔琴弹拨声，隐隐幽幽的笛声，低沉的鼓声，一个手持水晶球的紫袍术士，一群舞姿妙漫的少女，扭动水蛇般的腰肢在月下起舞······
听过koyal的人，一定会被其中充满了诡异柔美的风格所吸引，喃喃自语中，仿佛把魂也勾引到无边的黑暗里。异域风情的迷离电子乐，柔婉流畅的女声，迷幻的音乐氛围，无论谁都抵挡不了它的诱惑！
