Hildur Guenadóttir

冰島大提琴演奏家Hildur Ingveldardóttir Gudnadóttir生於1982年，從小學(xué)習(xí)大提琴，後來(lái)進(jìn)入雷克雅維克音樂(lè)學(xué)院(Reykjavík Music Academy)接受專業(yè)的古典音樂(lè)教育，再到冰島藝術(shù)學(xué)院(Iceland Academy of the Arts)和德國(guó)柏林Universitat der Kunste專研作曲及媒體研究?；氐奖鶏u後，投入雷克雅維克重要的音樂(lè)團(tuán)體及廠牌Kitchen Motors，在冰島獨(dú)立音樂(lè)圈頗為活躍，例如與近年來(lái)大放異彩的Johann Johannsson一起合作。2004年開始在冰島樂(lè)隊(duì)Angel演奏，她更參與了芬蘭實(shí)驗(yàn)電子樂(lè)隊(duì)Pan Sonic，並在2007年的專輯「Katodivaihe / Cathodephase」演奏大提琴，備受矚目及好評(píng)，其精湛大提琴演奏技巧，也讓Hildur Gudnadottir獲得與英國(guó)傳奇工業(yè)樂(lè)隊(duì)Throbbing Gristle、美國(guó)當(dāng)紅實(shí)驗(yàn)民謠樂(lè)隊(duì)Animal Collective以冰島電子民謠樂(lè)隊(duì)Mum合作的機(jī)會(huì)。
2009年，Hildur Gudnadottir在英國(guó)實(shí)驗(yàn)音樂(lè)廠牌Touch推出的「Without Sinking」是她的第二張個(gè)人專輯，相較2006年她於冰島廠牌12 Tónar以Lost In Hildurness之名的個(gè)人首張專輯「Mount A」，這張還得到許多冰島獨(dú)立音樂(lè)樂(lè)手鼎力相助，由Skúli Sverrisson擔(dān)任貝斯、Jóhann Jóhannsson協(xié)助風(fēng)琴及電子編程、更特別的是，連她的父親Gueni Franzson都在"Aether"和"Unveiled"這兩首曲子演出單簧管。她自己也在"Aether"嘗試了齊特琴(Zither)。
整張專輯的主角是大提琴，正如專輯封面所呈現(xiàn)的，氣氛陰鬱而哀傷，很有藝術(shù)電影配樂(lè)的質(zhì)感，低沈迷人的大提琴，在昏暗氛圍裡，顯得淒楚而悲切，琴聲徘徊不去，更有一種永恆失所之感。Hildur Gudnadottir在訪談裡表示，2007年與2008年她常坐飛機(jī)到各地演出，在飛機(jī)上，很多時(shí)間她都在看窗外的雲(yún)，她仔細(xì)觀察了雲(yún)層的形成和變幻，在這張唱片裡「我希望透過(guò)音樂(lè)，創(chuàng)造一種厚重的雷雨雲(yún)層，水氣凝結(jié)，雨絲飄落的感覺(jué)。」以此線索，我們可以想像「Without Sinking」的意象應(yīng)該是在雨天的海邊，帶有獨(dú)特的氣味和顏色，水岸處架起如海市蜃樓般的宮殿，濃霧中映照出了內(nèi)心的徬徨及孤寂，夜色愈來(lái)愈深沈，海浪及雨水卻讓人越來(lái)越清醒。
