Matthew Lien 自然为师．荒野中的一匹狼他出生在圣地亚哥，却因为想要接触大自然与原野，而只身前往加拿大北方一个名唤「白马」的小镇；因此，马修.连恩的作品，源自于自然、也有关自然。 在靠近北极圈的酷寒地带，那是一片长年被白雪覆盖，冬天太阳不会升到地平线上，夏天太阳不会沉落的奇异地方，那里是能耐严峻自然条件动物~驯鹿、狼、灰熊的保护区。这样一个一般人可能终其一生都不会到过的地方，却吸引了一个人越过加拿大大半个版图，选择居住那里。并且时常跋涉千里，四处旅行，足迹遍及这块处女地的任何角落。他赞叹大自然的鬼斧神工，他迷醉的聆听旷野中的声音，他爱怜的注视着野地里的动物，他恭敬的追溯原住民的过往，野地里的生灵在他心中累积成澎湃的旋律，倾注成一首首动人心弦的乐曲！这个人就是来自加拿大的马修.连恩。马修这样的人格特质来自于体内奔流着自然与音乐的血液，而那是他双亲的赋予。 马修的音乐虽被称为环保音乐但却不是激进的，他只是如同纪录片般将事实呈现在眼前。马修这种视所有人与自然万物皆平等的胸怀，绝对可以在他的音乐中感受到。所以，马修的音乐里没有语言、文化、地域的隔阂，只有尊重、交流与融合。

Cause and Effect From the CD "In So Many Words" (c)(p) Matthew Lien / Whispering Willows Music 2001 And the man declared All the dirt, the dust and hair Will vanish right into the air For a little while You can purchase with a smile And a credit card, without a care It never seemed that notable Those cartridges, disposable Just go away come garbage day The tragedy in utero Reveals a bleeding embryo An ecosystem in decay (Chorus) This is spiritual neglect This is cause and effect And so With every move that you select You are the cause and the effect And so it goes It's a polished act As you present the basic facts And the sale was unilateral And the papers said "More than fifty thousand dead" And the damage was collateral The sounds of bombs and fire alarms A mother with her babe in arms Hurries toward the cellar door Fire burned within her heart The strike was swift, the bomb was smart A flash of light and nothing more (Chorus) This is spiritual neglect This is cause and effect And so With every move that you select You are the cause and the effect And so it goes Oh... Every deal and every pact Every time you fail to act Every wrapper, plastic tray Everything you throw away And every time you cast your vote Wars, domestic and remote Everything you've ever heard Every move and every word... And the lion said "Praise to God, the lamb is dead Hail the mighty interest rate" And the path was found To attain the higher ground Where the corporate raiders congregate But in a far and distant land Dying in the desert sand The victim of hypocrisy How could no one recognize Reflected in that child's eyes Was fear and pain and you and me (Chorus) This is spiritual neglect This is cause and effect And so With every move that you select You are the cause and the effect And so... This is all that you direct You are the cause and the effect And so With every move that you select You are the cause and the effect And so... it goes马休连恩自己的评价：This is a personal comment about the song "Cause and Effect". I have often thought about how our actions and inactions can have far-reaching effects on our world, and on each other. The products we purchase... every little thing... the people we vote for in elections, the times we speak out --- and don't speak out --- against injustice, and so on... everything we do and don't do has some impact on the world. This idea was the inspiration for this song. And it burned within me for a long time to find some way to express this concept musically and lyrically. So with the creation and completion of "Cause and Effect", I felt a great sense of accomplishment. I still feel that this is one of the most important songs I have ever written and composed, which is why it remains on the home page for downloading... In this world, where our government leaders are making monstrous decisions in the name of the people --- in the name of "democracy" --- I can only hope the message in this song will further contribute to the chorus of people calling for a peaceful and compassionate world. Matthew (Ma show)

转贴〔推荐〕Matthew Lien:音乐旷野里的“狼”狼狼 育空河流域 狼群目睹着同伴 断气在人类枪下的 身影 它们的眼神中 没有恐惧 只露出一股沉静 那是原野上的傲气 天生的野性 随风而去吧。 在原野还能奔跑 血液尚未流尽之时 回首凝望 无法舔舐同伴的鲜血 就带着它的灵魂浪迹天涯 这就是狼……在遥远的加拿大，有个靠近北极圈的酷寒地带，那里长年为白雪覆盖，冬天太阳不会升到地平线以上，夏天太阳也不会沉没，自然条件虽然艰苦，但因为没有受到人类文明的侵扰，所以栖息着许多驯鹿、狼和灰熊。这个地区叫做育空，一般人也许毕生都不会踏入其中一步，可是有个人不但踏进了，还居住在其中的某间屋子里，与纯净的大自然为伴：吟诗湖边、奏乐山顶。这个留着一头长发、浓密胡子的男子，就像一匹狼般隐忍于世外，却又不时用他的音乐向人类发出呼喊，那种不带一丝尘埃的音色，宛如月圆夜里独狼的长啸撞击听者的心灵。他，名叫MatthewLien。 　　要讲述MatthewLien其人其事，必须首先提及1995年。这一年，音乐史上诞生了一张具有重要意义的专辑《BleedingWolves》（狼）。这张以保护野生动物为主题的新世纪音乐作品，是在MatthewLien的一手*持下，由30位音乐家共同参与打造而成的。而其中的主题曲“BleedingWolves”则是MatthewLien在1994年创作的。《BleedingWolves》为MatthewLien辉煌的音乐生涯下了定义：那是在音乐旷野里发出的空灵而又厚重的寂静之声。 　　环保音乐家的“简历” 　　公元1965年5月10日，美国南加州圣地亚哥，MatthewLien呱呱落地。小Matthew是家中的第二个孩子，他还有一个姐姐。Matthew5岁时父母离异，Matthew和姐姐一起跟着母亲生活。虽然家境不富裕，母亲却执意要培养小Matthew的音乐才能———她为儿子买了一架钢琴，从此把音乐带进Matthew的人生。母亲的培育让Matthew逐渐掌握音乐技能，而父亲却影响了Matthew以后的音乐方向。和妻子离婚后，Matthew的父亲便一人住到了加拿大的育空地区。小Matthew年满7岁后，每年夏天都会去育空陪伴父亲。加州的阳光永远照耀不到育空这片乐土，美丽的大自然风光让小Matthew异常兴奋，他在湖面漂浮，在森林里玩耍，和自然如此亲密地接触让小Matthew在不知不觉中产生了环保意识，而浸染于自然山水则让Matthew灵性毕现，随着年龄的增长，Matthew的音乐旅程中越来越多地沾染上山林水溪之气，直到有一天，他成为彻底的环保音乐家。 　　 　　在育空的生活如此美好，以至于终于有一天Matthew搬到了这里，从此定居下来。期间，他的钢琴琴技日益纯青。1990年，25岁的Matthew发表了自己的处女作《MusicToSeeBy》，一鸣惊人。Matthew音乐中表达出的冰山、湖水等育空风景令听众有直观之感，Matthew也凭此获得育空杰出人士的荣誉。此后的4年时间里，Matthew一口气发表了《InSoManyWords》（无以言尽）、《VoyagetoParadise》（天堂之旅）、《TouchingtheEarth》（感受大地）以及《CaribouCommons》（驯鹿宣言）等四张作品。这些作品一脉相承地展现了Matthew的音乐思想。其中，前三张专辑还是在表达自然风景，而第四张《CaribouCommons》则标志着Matthew音乐道路的突破，它与接下来的《BleedingWolves》一起，成为Matthew的经典之作。1994年，Matthew凭借单曲“BleedingWolves”拿到了极光奖“最佳原创音乐奖”，1995年，他又获得极光奖四项提名，并拿到“杰出音乐创作奖”和“音乐类杰出个人奖”，可谓硕果累累。Matthew并不光做自己的音乐，1993年，他担任专辑《LouiseProfeit－LeBlanc》（原住民故事）的制作人，同年他还制作了北极及加拿大运动会专辑《LifeCycle》。1994年，为《YukonGold》（育空之金）配乐制作等。 　　1997年，已经名扬天下的Matthew来到中国，探访东方文化的神韵。这一年，他与中国音乐家们共同探讨音乐，还研究了一些他过去从未听过的东方古乐器。散发神秘魅力的古乐器令他如痴如醉，并迅速把这些成果运用到他的新专辑《Confluence》（汇流）中去。中国乐器的造型简单，取材于大自然，有着宽广的音域、动人的音色。Matthew灵感突发，把他原本陌生的亚洲乐器与已经烂熟于胸的西方乐器巧妙融合，令《Confluence》相当特别。《Confluence》完全摒除了电子合成乐器，而是用大量的东西方乐器营造出最真实的画面。Matthew用中国二胡与提琴呼应，用中国唢呐与萨克斯风搭配，用箫与爱尔兰笛应和，用琵琶与班纠琴融合，搭配出天衣无缝的整体效果。《Confluence》的录音工程浩大，有多达50多人参与录音，最后还由混音大师BernieGrundman进行制作，使之成为Matthew音乐生涯里的又一高峰。

what is Bessanone?Bessanone is a beautiful, very old city in northern Italy, in a region known as South Tyrol. South Tyrol was once part of a country called Tyrol, and was also a part of Austria. South Tyrol became a part of Italy after World War 1. Because of its Austrian history, it is much more Austrian than Italian. People will understand German there, as well as Italian, and all cities have two names - one in German and one in Italian. Bressanone (Italian) is also known as Brixen (German). It is a very beautiful city indeed. To the north of Bressanone is the Brenner Mountain Pass. I crossed this mountain pass by train when I left Bressanone. Hope this helps! _________________Matthew (Ma show)

醉蜗，有你这段注释确实帮助好大，虽然结结吧吧的只能读个大概，可也毕竟比没有要好得多，也总算大致知道了 Bessanone 这个城市，居然还拥有意大利语和德语的名字各一个。

Bressanone From the CD "Bleeding Wolves" (c)(p) Matthew.Lien / Whispering Willows Music 1995 Here I stand in Bressanone With the stars up in the sky Are they shining over Brenner And upon the other side You would be a sweet surrender I must go the other way And my train will carry me onward Though my heart would surely stay Whoa, my heart would surely stay Now the clouds are flying by me And the moon is on the rise I have left stars behind me They were diamonds in your skies You would be a sweet surrender I must go the other way And my train will carry me onward Though my heart would surely stay Whoa, my heart would surely stay
