AC 52. NEW BABYLON 《新巴比伦》| Track 04. Tape Loops

这是一首把童真、游戏感与旧磁带的幽灵般质感结合在一起的爵士歌曲。歌曲发生在一个空荡荡的游乐场：秋千不断来回，磁带不停重复同一小段声音，孩子一边玩，一边渐渐分不清这是录音、回忆，还是自己听见的声音。歌词保持非常简单、直接，像一个孩子在自言自语；不断出现的 “Play it again” 像磁带卡住了一样，形成既可爱又有些诡异的循环。法语、scat singing、突然的停顿和重复，让整首歌像一个坏掉却仍然很好玩的儿童玩具。音乐上可以让 tape loop、自由即兴和游乐场般的节奏彼此缠绕，在天真与幽灵感之间不断摆动。“Tape Loops in the Playground” is an experimental jazz piece that blends childhood innocence, playful repetition, and the ghostly texture of old tape recordings. It takes place in an empty playground where the swings keep moving, a tape keeps repeating the same little phrase, and a child slowly begins to wonder whether the sounds are coming from the tape, from a memory, or from somewhere else.--Track 04.
