内容摘要 现在是Dilla时间。终于,《Dilla Time》讲述了过去25年中极具影响力的音乐制作人发明一种新的时间,一种新的声音的故事,这个人你可能从未听说过:J.Dilla。他受到从Kanye West、Kendrick Lamar等饶舌歌手以及制作人的尊敬,他还与Michael Jackson、Janet Jackson等人合作,但Dilla本人从未名声大噪,尽管他在32岁英年早逝之前在音乐界引起了天翻地覆的变化。 在《Dilla Time》中,丹·查纳斯记录了J.Dilla的一生,从他在底特律的天才童年,到导致他不幸早逝的罕见病症。他还记录了美国节奏音乐的历史:从诞生放克和灵歌的迪拉生活的城市摩城,到电子乐和迪斯科。在这里,音乐是美国黑人文化的故事,也是人类和机器时代被合成为全新事物时发生的故事。查纳斯教我们以不同的方式 "看 "声音,赋予时间本身以纹理、颜色和模式。 迪拉的节奏,对未经训练的耳朵来说,听起来是混乱的,但这源于他严格的工作态度,几乎是对其音乐的全身心投入。这是一个关于人和电子的故事,构成了一种新的时间。《Dilla Time》是一本集音乐学、传记和文化史于一身的书,它的细节让人欣喜,也像J·迪拉的音乐一样充满活力。 It's Dilla Time. Finally. Dilla Time is the story of the invention of a new kind of time, a new kind of sound, by the most influential music producer of the last twenty-five years, someone you may never have heard of: J. Dilla. He's revered by rappers and producers from Kanye West to Kendrick Lamar, and he worked with the likes of Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson-but Dilla himself never rose to mainstream fame, despite revolutionizing the way music sounds before his untimely death at the age of thirty-two. In Dilla Time, Dan Charnas chronicles the life of J. Dilla, from his gifted childhood in Detroit, to the rare medical condition that caused his tragically premature death. He also records the histories of American rhythms: from the birth of funk and soul in Dilla's own Motown, to techno and disco. Here, music is a story of Black culture in America and of what happens when human and machine times are synthesized into something totally new. Charnas teaches us to "see" sound differently, giving time itself texture, color, pattern. Dilla's beats, which to the untrained ear sound imprecise and chaotic, were born of the rigorous work ethic of a perfectionist almost spiritually devoted to his music. This is the story of the man, and the machines, that made up a new kind of time. Equal parts musicology, biography, and cultural history, Dilla Time is a book as delightfully detail-oriented and as vibrantly original as J. Dilla's music.
