Tor Lundvall
小简介:
作为氛围音乐者兼画手，来自美国西汉普顿的Tor Lundvall的音乐作品
都要比浓墨重彩又诡异的绘画清纯的多，它总是那么贴近人的听觉，
像寒冬里脖子上的暖暖的围巾，而绝无突兀之音。

Tor Lundvall (born 1968 in Wyckoff, New Jersey) is a painter and
musician who is based out of East Hampton, New York.
Art:
Lundvall has a B.A. in studio art with a minor in literature from the
American University in Washington D.C. (1991).
His oil paintings are quite vivid and luminous due to his use of
vibrant colors and the strong tension created between light and shadow.
Lundvall's imagery is mostly inspired by rural northeastern American
landscapes which he inhabits with imaginative figures and isolated individuals.
His canvases often depict serene environments with an underlying sense of menace.
Tor first came into the public eye in the early 1990's through his art exhibitions
in New York and after creating the CD artwork for various musicians,
including several projects for Tony Wakeford's dark folk group Sol Invictus (band). [1]
Lundvall has also produced cover art for Gonzalo Rubalcaba's
"Solo" CD (2006) and Miles Davis's "The Blue Note and
Capitol Recordings" CD box-set reissue (1993), both released on
Blue Note Records. His paintings have also been featured on the covers
of the March 2007 and July 2008 issues of Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine.
Music:
Tor Lundvall is also a musician, and his compositions are often described as dark,
ambient music. His first self-produced album, "Passing Through Alone" (1997)
could be categorized in the Industrial music genre, as it shared little in
common musically with subsequent releases. At the time "Passing Through Alone"
was only available at Lundvall's gallery showings, and has since been taken out of print.
Lundvall's music came to prominence with the release of "Autumn Calls" (1998),
a collaboration with Tony Wakeford released on the now defunct British record label World Serpent Distribution.
Three solo albums followed, continuing the seasons-themed concept: "Ice" (1999),
"The Mist" (2001) and "Under the Shadows of Trees" (2003).
After the demise of World Serpent in 2004, Tor Lundvall released his recordings
through the American label Strange Fortune until November 2008.
His releases for Strange Fortune included "Last Light" (2004),
"Empty City" (2006) and the "Yule" EP (2006).
"Empty City" featured Lundvall's first attempt at an instrumental
approach for an entire album. All of Tor Lundvall's recordings are
mastered by his brother Kurt Lundvall.
Tor Lundvall's music has evolved over the years from early pop songs,
to a more ambient sound, which he personally finds difficult to describe or categorize.
"I suppose one could call it 'ghost ambient'! I approach my music in a visual way,
starting with a very basic idea and slowly building on it.
The tracks are essentially paintings with music and their titles usually reflect the contents.
I have also gained a new respect for the piano over the past several years,
which plays a major part in my recordings.
Although I tend to use electronics and samplers, I always approach music in a natural, organic way.
All samples are created at home, usually in the bedroom. I loathe patch presets and use them only rarely.
In fact the process of recording is so complex,
that the 'equipment used' section printed in my CD booklets is basically useless.
I find that my recent recordings are becoming progressively more instrumental and ambient in nature,
although the music still retains a strong sense of melody.
As with my paintings, my music has always existed in a private world of its own. |
