年份 2015 藝人 Ben Chatwin 專輯   The Sleeper Awakes (CD) 廠牌   Village Green 樂風   Ambient, Electronic, Experimental NT$ 499

《The Sleeper Awakes》是Chatwin第一張個人名字發行的專輯，在蘇格蘭的工作室完成創作及錄製。受到英國名作家H.G.Wells威爾斯作品的影響，他期望這張專輯能闡述”未來”曾經存在卻同時不復存在的概念，猶如那段天真古怪、簡樸卻絕美的時期，瞭望著即近的高科技未來來臨所產生的期待、懼怕感，存在及虛無是一念之間。帶著這股動力，他運用了已有一百年歲月的Dulcitone(轉入20世紀之際，曾於Glasgow使用的一種可攜帶式的鋼琴)，徹底地將它和現代的電子、合成器及錄製設備創作結合，淋漓盡致的傳統、現代交錯，成就了幻有幻無的未來想像。

Composer and producer Ben Chatwin releases his new album 《The Sleeper Awakes》through Village Green on 4th May 2015. Written and recorded at Chatwins home studio in Scotland. Inspired by the writing of H.G. Wells, 《The Sleeper Awakes》 is Chatwins first album to appear under his own name and follows last years highly-lauded Talvihorros project 《Eaten Alive》. "I wanted 《The Sleeper Awakes》 to represent the idea of a future that has been and gone. Before the information and telecommunications revolution there was a beautiful yet weird, naivety about what the future might bring and it was this that I tried to tap into whilst making the record.

I sourced a one hundred-year-old Dulcitone (a kind of portable piano that was made for a short period of time in Glasgow at the turn of the Twentieth Century) and used it extensively, making it sit with modern electronics and synthesis. The pairing of older, traditional instruments with modern recording techniques and processes is something that Im very interested in."
