音樂人物:Entertainment For The Braindead

觀照自我精神世界的entertainment for the braindead (eftb)

Entertainment For The Braindead是來自德國科隆的Julia Kotowski的化名,她以簡單的配器與編曲,充滿個人感悟的歌詞,創造出豐富而多彩的聲音與旋律。

與大多數年輕人不同的是,Julia 熱愛傳統居家生活,她從未想要離開家庭,她一直與父母住在一起,也因此,她大多數的創作,都在臥室房間裡獨自完成。

簡單的木吉他(guitar)、斑鳩琴(banjoor烏克麗麗四弦琴(ukulele),非傳統的打擊樂器(瓶瓶罐罐、紙箱木盒,甚至是桌子抽屜),加上偶爾特意碰撞出的鼓聲or電子騷音,Julia以其純淨清明的嗓音,構築出小而美的音樂世界。

就像強調自我精神世界的私小說,Julia Kotowski的音樂(尤其是初期的創作),總帶著小小的私密性;它們並不適合在熱鬧喧囂的白天、或是歡騰激昂的場合聆聽;唯有夜深人靜、沉澱自我的孤獨時刻,才能真實感受‧‧‧

※附註:
1. Julia在網頁上表示“音樂是無法賺錢的,但能獲得樂趣”,所以她的所有創作,都可以下載,至於是否付費、金額多寡,就自由心證了。
2. Julia有個副業,就是插畫工作,只要是自費發行的CD,封面與內頁圖文都是她親手繪製完成的,也因此,張張限量發行,甫上市即絕版。
3. 2011年除了現場專輯,還會在網路發佈一張收錄樂友們混音的歌曲輯
4. 2007年Julia Kotowski曾在家鄉科隆與友人(Katharina HuberJanina WarnkNicole Wegner)組過一個多媒體聲音實驗團體“Bedknobs and Drumsticks”,該團怪異的歌曲可在MySpace線上試聽。另外,由該團團員Katharina主演,其他三人(包括Julia)聯合執導的實驗短片《Bridefeast 婚宴》,也可以在網路上看見(連結在下方)。
