【墨德】Graciela Maria & Robot Koch - Many Places

Mexican Singer/Songwriter Graciela Maria has been singing since she was a little kid. Having livied in Mexico City for many years, she was part of the mexican electronic music scene and made music with local producers signal deluxe.
In 2009 she met berlin based producer Robot Koch in New York at his show at Coco66 in Brooklyn.
They started making music together and Grace was featured on Robot`s album “Death Star Droid” as well as on the Ep “Listen To Them Fade”. 2009 marked the beginning of a journey both musically and geographically for Graciela, as she moved from Mexico City to Berlin and started playing shows wolrdwide with Robot Koch.
They played everywhere from the Sonar Festival in Barcelona to some obscure art festivals in Bulgaria and Tunesia.
With Many Places, Graciela Maria`s stunning debut album, she steps into the light as more than just a featured vocalist on Koch`s electronica and dubstep driven compositions: Her own music breathes the vibe of classic singer/songwriters like Tim Buckley and Elliot Smith, with the music and the production being even more organic and live sounding than on the previous Koch tracks. The songwriting took place all over the world, as Graciela traveled and lived in many places recently, accompanied by her little notebook and her digital camera, which she uses to record song ideas on all the time. The topics she deals with are both surreal and personal and leave it up to the listener to be interpretated.
Producer Robot Koch teamed up with friend and fellow musician Sneaky (Fingathing / Ninja Tune) to create this organic and retro futuristic sounding album, that incorporates Double Bass, Live Drums, Cello and other String instruments and well as a subtle touch of cutting edge electronic production which Robot Koch is know for. The track “Many Places” features a string arrangement by Fiora Cutler.
Graciela Maria is an artist to watch out for in the future as she proves to create timeless pieces of music that are appealing to Indie/pop listeners and lover`s of electronic music alike.

【MV】Bilal ft. Shafiq Husayn, Erykah Badu & Stephen 'Thundercat' Bruner- Levels (Directed by Flying Lotus)
FULL SCREEN
The Sounds of VTech / Bilal Levels
原始構想下的混音版
Bilal - Levels Log.Os (KenBts. Remix)
oscillations, guitar, loops, programming - KenBts.
supporting vocals - Iman Omari, Nikko Gray
drums - Chris 'Daddy' Dave
"Levels" was created in a small basement studio, below Shafiq Husayn's home in Los Angeles. Bilal, Shafiq, & I produced the foundation of what would become the song under a certain creative hypnosis. It seemed as if, before our ears, the synthetic sounds and beeps congealed into a single living and pulsating organism. It would then soon sprout wings, carrying under them an all-encompassing message. "Levels" has since taken a life unto its own, bringing in interpretations from Flying Lotus and Sonnymoon; furthering what may be now called the "Levels Experiment". The remix I provided follows in the tradition of the original song's spirit: an ambitious exploration of sound, space, and emotion; an aviary craft bursting into the embers of a maiden flight." -KenBts.

【流憩】告別九份,前往金瓜石,預約水湳洞
這半年的人生處於混亂階段,理不斷的事情依舊存在,好不容易暫告一段落,因此興起出遊的念頭。我們迅速將打理住所等技術性事務安排妥適,無奈,冬雨打亂了行程,只得改弦易轍,最終決定捨棄自己的交通工具,改為搭車前往這次的目的地--金瓜石與九份。
我們從南港展覽館站出發,乘坐公車到達汐科火車站,接著轉搭區間車到瑞芳火車站,下火車後,再到站前廣場另一端頂好超市旁,等待上山的公車。
回程也是相同方式,因為這樣的三段式轉乘,比起坐臺北市直達九份或金瓜石的公車,或者搭火車到基隆再轉公車,時間上應是節省一些,全程不會超過一個小時半。
輾轉抵達位於金瓜石五號寮的民宿後,稍事休息並熟悉環境,復依原先計畫,今日午後先造訪九份。

輾轉抵達位於金瓜石五號寮的民宿後,稍事休息並熟悉環境,復依原先計畫,今日午後先造訪九份。
現實與記憶,是兩支人生座標,一支會領你尋找夢想,一支會替你尋繹厥初。九份亦若是,太多人數著它的不是--過度商業化,讓它的美麗只存在於旅遊介紹裡。而我何嘗不是如此,那些九份故事,隨著時間的流逝而淘洗殆盡,主觀評價自然根深柢固。
但是,十幾年前九份就是這副模樣了。人們到這裡,與到任何風景名勝與復古老街的行為模式都一樣,不花錢買點食或物,不拍照留念,代表你沒佇足過。我不曉得更多年前的九份長得是何等面貌,過去的照片或歷史,只會徒增我的困擾。那些是前人的生活,是當地人的生活,我無以置喙。
順著人潮、伴著雨滴,單純的當個好奇的旅人,什麼都不想的東瞧瞧西看看,找尋當下的感觸才能豐厚未來的回憶。
這天的大雨,讓遊客如織的「九份標記」褪色不少,尤其是那條自老街一路而降、掛上紅燈籠的輕便道,沿途只見三三兩兩,每踏出一步,我們只聽見自己製造的留聲。想必沒有人願意肩頭淋著雨,畢竟那一點都不浪漫吧!
回金瓜石的途中,雨仍下著,昏暗的天空不見朦朧。時雨中學與瓜山國小的孩子們,每日每夜擁抱一齣又一齣的寧靜,不知他們的心靈見著了又看著了哪些故事?
12月25日,我們睡到雨停。推開窗門,外頭空氣乾燥又清新,微微透露的陽光,催促我們趕緊出門。
道別了民宿小屋,我們前去黃金博物園區。
現實與記憶的本質相同,透過時間的橫縱軸,為人們尋覓生命的定義。美好的歷史終究只是過去式,金瓜石能否靠著觀光資源或者礦脈的再開採而重獲新生,沒有人知道,但肯定的是,現在不開始施作,將來一定無所成。
小跟班遊金瓜石和九份
友人羅先生在我的強烈建議下,終於願意與我同遊九份和金瓜石這個小鎮。
12/24
出發的這天台北很冷,下著雨,打亂了我們原本騎車去的計畫。
查了通往瑞芳的車,離我們住的這區只要半小時左右的火車車程,實在是個短程旅行的好去處。
瑞芳火車站外面的超市有很多班公車可以到九份、金瓜石和水湳洞等景點,還有很多新的金色巴士,大眾接駁規劃得滿完善的。
推薦要來這個小地方的人,盡量不要自己開車。路很小條,塞車和找停車位都很辛苦。
我們這次住的民宿八番坑在金瓜石和九份附近都有房間,金瓜石的這幾間都是由老屋翻修製成,擁有獨立的門牌。我們住的五號寮就是其中之一。

在民宿拍完照後,我們就去逛九份老街。
我們挑了幾間:
阿蘭芋粿巧/草仔粿:
這是我人生第一次吃芋粿巧,他的個頭不大,口味很特殊。裡面包了很多大塊的芋頭,還有蝦米和胡椒,我還滿喜歡的。草仔粿的外皮好Q啊!帶有一種草的香氣,我們挑了裡面紅豆的口味,好好吃!
雖然他們家的東西很好吃,但是我不得不說,店員的服務態度實在有待加強。
賴阿婆芋圓:
芋圓的口感偏軟,但是種類很多。至於口味我覺得一般般而已,不是特別好吃。
護理長魯味:
加入蜂蜜的魯味。我們點了毛豆、鵪鶉蛋、甜不辣、辣的和不辣的兩種豆干、雞翅。辣的豆干真的很辣,所以我只吃了一塊,剩下的都是友人吃掉的。我覺得最好吃的是毛豆,味道剛剛好。
12/25
這天沒下雨,剛好適合戶外的行程,金瓜石好美呀!山巒起伏,還有很多奇怪的形狀,很可愛的地方。
我們11點離開民宿,首先鎖定的就是昨天晚上看到的黃金博物館賣的礦工便當。
礦工便當一整組有一塊排骨飯、一個便當盒、包巾一條和一雙筷子。裡面的排骨炸的還滿好吃的耶!只可惜沒有什麼青菜,都是醃蘿蔔等的醬菜。醬菜滿鹹的,我在想應該是當時的礦工工作辛苦,流的汗需要鹽分補充吧!
