침묵도 음악’ 전위적 도발

침묵도 음악’ 전위적 도발

 
[한겨레] 존 케이지의 <4’ 33”>(1952년)

1952년 8월 29일, 뉴욕주 우드스탁의 ‘매버릭 콘서트 홀’에서 있었던 현대음악 피아노 연주회에서 기이한 장면이 연출되었다. 연주자 데이빗 튜더가 어느 순간부터인가 아무 것도 하지 않고 앉아있었기 때문이다. 정확히 말하자면 시계를 보며 악장마다 피아노 뚜껑 여닫는 일을 반복했다. 창밖을 서성이는 바람과 빗방울의 아련한 소리만이 공연장을 채우고 있었다. 잠시 후 웅성거림이 시작되었고 급기야 퇴장하는 관객들이 생겨났다. 그럼에도 튜더는 “4분 33초” 동안 그 어떤 연주도 하지 않았다.

보이코트가 아니었다. 데이빗 튜더는 악보에 기재된 내용을 고스란히 수행했을 뿐이다. 작곡자의 의도에 충실하게 퍼포먼스를 펼쳤다는 것이다. 다만 그 의도와 내용을 누구도 이해할 수 없었다는 게 문제였다. 작곡자 존 케이지는 1980년대의 어느 인터뷰에서 초연 당시 상황을 이렇게 묘사했다. “관객들은 웃지 않았다. 아무 것도 연주되지 않을 것이란 사실을 깨닫고는 짜증을 냈을 뿐이다. 30년이 지난 지금도 그들은 그때 일에 화를 낸다.”

<4’ 33”>를 발표했을 당시 존 케이지(1912~1992)는 이미 명성 높은 현대음악가였다. 1946년 설립되어 유럽 현대음악의 산실로 자리매김한 ‘새로운 음악을 위한 다름슈타트 국제 여름학교’에서 테어도어 아도르노, 칼하인즈 스톡하우젠, 에드가 바레시 등과 강의하며 ‘우연성 음악(찬스 뮤직)’과 ‘구체음악(뮤지끄 콩크리트)’ 사조에 깊숙이 관여했다. 더불어 뉴욕에서는 라몬트 영, 백남준 등과 함께 전위예술 집단 ‘플럭서스’를 이끌기도 했다. <4’ 33”>는 그의 위명(혹은 악명)을 드높인 해프닝이었다.

존 케이지는 <4’ 33”>를 통해 소리와 음악의 관념과 관계를 재설정하고자 했다. 그는 완전한 묵음(默音)이란 없다고 믿은 사람이었다. 개인적인 경험이 작용했다. 완벽한 방음시설이 돼있다는 녹음실에서 케이지는 자신의 심장박동과 머릿속 이명이 어우러져 만들어내는 기묘한 ‘침묵의 소리’를 들었던 것이다. 그것을 통해 케이지는 음악을 연주한다는 의식적 행위가 없더라도 이미 우리는 끊임없이 소리에 노출되어 있고, 그 소리들의 우연한 조합이 생성시키는 음악을 통해 “인생의 즐거움을 찾을 수 있다”는 이론적 토대를 마련했다. 도가와 불가의 사상에 심취했던 이답게, 단지 주변에 귀를 기울이는 것만으로도 음악적 호접몽의 경지에 이를 수 있다고 주장했다. 또한 케이지는 화가이자 동료교수였던 로버트 라우센버그의 <하얀 그림>에서도 영감을 얻었다고 밝힌 바 있다. “오브제가 아닌 관상의 방법”이라는 측면에서 라우센버그의 그림은 그가 음악에 접근하는 태도에 영향을 미쳤던 것이다.

야스미나 레자의 연극 <아트>(1994)에서 백지와 다름없는 하얀 캔버스가 세 친구에게 그랬던 것처럼, 존 케이지의 <4’ 33”>는 음악에 대한 우리의 오랜 고정관념을 시험하고 도발하고 있다. 이 곡은 세상 어느 누구도 들어본 적이 없는 음악인 동시에 지금 이 순간 모두가 듣고 있는 음악이기도 하다. 뒷날의 앰비언트, 인더스트리얼, 노웨이브, 포스트록 따위 경향은 케이지의 관점에서 대중음악에 접근했던 록 뮤지션들의 전위적 실험결과물이었다. 또한 녹음된 소리를 싫어했던 존 케이지가 그 후예들에 의해 레코드에 ‘봉인’되었다는 사실은 우연성 음악의 필연적 아이러니기도 했다.

Beatles-reUnion new YouTube version of &quot;Now and Then&quot; sparks debate

 

 

 

New YouTube version of "Now and Then" sparks debate in his blog Monday and makes it clear it's a fake. But he also added another link for a different video with the same audio. It's below.


 

Update (1/17/08)

  • We received this today regarding our update from 1/16:

     

    Thank you for the link to my blog iamaphony.blogspot.com. However, I wanted to correct something that was implied in your statement. I am not the artist responsible for the video or audio portions of the mash-up versions of "Now and Then" and "I Found Out." I was intrigued by the Iamaphoney videos on YouTube and created a blog to collect and share information about them. I have never met the artist, but you can find his work and probably communicate with him (or them) via http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=iamaphoney.

    Update (1/16/08) The person apparently responsible for the fake "Now and Then" mentioned us

     

    Update (1/15/2008)
  • From Charles Crane:

     

    The YouTube version is obviously a forgery, and not just because the song's instrumentation is inconsistent with a typical Beatles/Jeff Lynne production. The video has several oblique (and occassionally split-second) references to Paul-Is-Dead mythology, both old and new. The user who uploaded the video is named PauIMcCartney (note the a capital 'I' in place of a lower case 'l' - taking advantage of the font YouTube uses to masquerade as an official site), and the other videos uploaded by this user have similar Paul-Is-Dead overtones to them. These vague 'clues' are consistent with the ones on videos made by a user named 'iamaphoney.' All 66 of iamaphoney's videos consist of pictures and audio / video clips taken out of context to insinuate that Paul really did blow his mind out in a car in 1966 and was replaced by an imposter named Billy Shears. Or something.

     

    So why am I even dignifying this ridiculousness with a mention? Partly because it's pretty well done - the clues can come from pretty obscure sources and exhibit a fairly wide span of Beatle knowledge, so the videos can be somewhat entertaining (if not convincing). Partly because all these mysterious videos seem to be leading up to *something* happening on February 9th (as per the PauIMcCartney profile page). But mostly because many of the comments left on the "Now & Then" video and the PauIMcCartney profile page seem to be convinced that this page is official and sanctioned by Paul himself and are likely to be disappointed on February 9th. Take this with several grains of salt.

    (1/14/2008) A mysterious YouTube video (the first of the two below) has sparked rumors that this is the unreleased treatment of the song that was discussed for release by the Beatles.


    While this sounds very professionally produced, we don't think this is anything more than a clever, but unauthorized, mash, thanks to the overuse of echo and the audio from Beatle songs woven through it. A mash, but a well-done one, at that.
    Here's the original version of the song for comparison. This video is, also, of course, unauthorized.

    눈 내리는 날 듣기 좋은 재즈음악

    눈 내리는 날 듣기 좋은 재즈음악
    어쿠스틱 알케미(Acoustic Alchemy)의 눈발 같은 기타 소리
    송병석 (mangkwang)
     
     

    멈춤으로써 고정되는 기억, 내 청춘의 한 때...를 회상하며

     

      
    ▲ [Positive Thingking] 앨범 재킷
    ⓒ Universal
    재즈
    박정대 시인의 <내 청춘의 격렬비열도엔 아직도 음악 같은 눈이 내리지>라는 낭만적인 제목의 시집이 있다. 박정대 시인의 시집에는 음악을 향한 사랑과 슬픔이 여섯 개의 기타줄처럼 팽팽하게 감겨 있다.

     

     

    박정대 시인의 시집을 읽으면 일본의 소설가 가와바타 야스나리의 <설국> 첫 대목이 떠오른다. “국경의 긴 터널을 빠져나오자, 눈의 고장이었다”는 가와바타 야스나리의 소설은 박정대 시인의 이런 진술과 맞닿아 있다.

     

    “나는 강원도의 힘을 느낀다, 강원도의 힘은 저 눈발로부터 온다, 지상의 모든 것들을 순식간에 뒤덮어버리는 저 무지하고 순수한 反動으로부터, 그리고 그 눈발을 먹고 자라나는 겨울 나무들로부터, 나는 내가 강원도 출신이어서 지금 이글을 쓰고 있다고 생각한다.”

     

    - 박정대 시인의 <그리고 그후에 기타의 눈물이 시작되네> 가운데

     

    박정대 시인의 <그리고 그후에 기타의 눈물이 시작되네>는 참으로 긴 시다. 유고 출신의 영화감독 에밀 쿠스트리차의 <집시의 시간>이 등장하고, 역시 영화감독인 폴란드 출신의 키에슬로프스키의 <사랑에 관한 짧은 필름>이 나온다.

     

    더불어 우리나라 음악인 전인권, 한국계 러시아 3세인 카자흐스탄 출신의 로커 빅토르 최도 나온다. 그러나 박정대 시인이 연주하는 ‘기타’는 스페인의 시인 가르시아 로르카의 시를 변주하며, 로르카의 시를 자기 기타로 ‘연주’한다.

     

    시집 제목의 공간적 배경이 되고 있는 격렬비열도는 서해안에 위치한 무인도인데, 그곳의 무엇이 박정대 시인을 ‘격렬’하게 했는지 나는 알 도리가 없다. 다만 그 ‘격렬’함이 내게는 음악(기타)에 대한 강렬한 흡입으로 다가왔다. 또 한 가지, 강렬한 인상은 눈이다.

     

    눈은 낭만의 상징이다. 소설가 가와바타 야스나리의 눈은 여행지에서의 눈발이고, 박정대 시인의 눈은 출생지에서의 눈이다. 눈은 동경이다. 어린 시절 혹은 사랑이 머물던 지점에서의 눈은 추억의 결정체이다. 추억은 머물러 있을 때 아름답다. 과거의 추억이 현재의 이름으로 부상되는 순간 눈은 녹아버린다. 눈 내린 <설국>의 설경이 바로 오늘로 다가올 때 거리는 질척일 뿐이다.

     

    눈의 낭만을 추억의 이름으로 자리하게 하는 재즈 밴드 '어쿠스틱 알케미'(Acoustic Alchemy)가 있다. 기타 두 대로 눈의 산발을 흩뿌려내는 이들의 연주는 밴드 이름처럼 ‘Alchemy’연금술을 직조(織造)하며 겨울의 서정을 함축한다.

     

    스틸 기타를 연주하는 닉 웹(Nick Webb)과 나일론 기타의 그레고리 카마이클(Gregory Carmichael)로 결성된 어쿠스틱 알케미는 기타 음이 주조를 이루는 밴드다. 그런데 그 중 한 사람인 닉 웹이 1998년 2월 5일 췌장암으로 세상을 떠났다. 이 앨범은 닉 웹의 유작 앨범이다. 닉 웹이 세상을 떠나기 얼마 직전 발표하면서 앨범 제목을 이라니….

     

    죽기 직전에 앨범을 발표하면서 이라고 한 건, 음악인 조용필이 “아아 웃고 있어도 눈물이 난다”라고 노래한 <그 겨울의 찻집>처럼 현실의 아이러니일까, 아니면 소설가 카뮈가 <이방인>에서 뫼르소를 통해 표현했던 부조리일까. 세상을 떠난 닉 웹의 심정을 들을 수 없지만, 기타 연주를 듣자면 겨울의 정점에 어쿠스틱 알케미의 연주는 서 있다.

     

      
    'Jester With a Lute'
    ⓒ 프란츠 할츠
    그림일기

    우리가 사는 세상은 아이러니와 부조리가 판을 친다. 조용필의 노래를 듣고도 울지 못하고, 카뮈의 소설을 읽고서도 부조리한 세상에 대해 침묵으로 일관한다. 예술은 아이러니와 부조리한 세상에서 나를 위로해주는 오브제이다. 사람이 한 시대를 살아가면서 가지고 있는 희망들, 그 희망은 긍정적 사고 위에서 발생한다. 어쿠스틱 알케미의 앨범 제목처럼

     

    이 앨범은 내게 시에서의 말줄임표보다 여운이 더 오래 남는 앨범이다. 흡사 눈발이 날릴 때, 바로 그 순간의 추억이요, 비가 호수에 떨어지면서 후드득하는 소리가 그려진다. 특히 는 경포대 호수의 빗방울이 뚝방을 밀어내며 내 추억을 적신다. 눈 내리는 순간은 낭만의 정점이지만 비는 죽음의 이미지가 있다고 보인다. 

     

    죽음은 빗소리와 함께 사람의 기억을 가장 강렬하게 잡아당기는 요소가 아닌가 생각한다. 내가 좋아하는 음악인인 김광석, 유재하… 이들은 모두 이 세상 사람이 아니라서 기억의 저장고에 오래 보관되었다. 이들은 더 이상 부패하지 않는다. 하지만 현존(라이브)이 아니라서 씁쓸하고, 현존의 부재에서 듣는 음악은 오랜 시간 동안 강렬한 기억으로 남아 있다.

     

    김광석의 <부치지 않은 편지>를 들을 때 정호승 시인의 아름다운 시어와 눈발이 흩날리고 , 유재하의 <우울한 편지>를 들을 땐 내 가슴에 비가 들이친다. 영화 <공동경비구역 J.S.A>에서 송강호의 대사처럼 "광석이형은 왜 그렇게 빨리 가고", 유재하 역시 왜 그리도 일찍 갔는지…. 흩날리는 눈발과 비는 내 가슴 속에 낭만과 추억이라는 과거시제를 불러들인다. 

     

    소설가 구효서의 <추억되는 것의 아름다움 혹은 슬픔>이란 소설을 통해 추억은 아름다움과 슬픔이 현(弦) 위에 걸려 있다는 것을 어렴풋이 알았다. 아름다움이란 슬픔의 가슴을 통해 얼굴에 나타나는 것, 그래서 아름다움은 보이지 않는 내면에 들어 있고, 죽음으로써 기억은 영원히 그 자리에 머문다. 

     

    어쿠스틱 알케미의 음악을 들었을 때, 제목처럼 긍정적이고 밝은 모습은 네덜란드의 화가 프란츠 할츠(Frans Hals)의 라는 그림이 어울리고, 세상을 떠난 김광석이나 유재하, 닉 웹의 이미지는 벤 샨(Bean Shahn)의 <울고 있는 가수>에 가깝다. 두 화가 모두 기타를 들고 있는 모습을 그리고 있는데, 프란츠 할츠의 그림은 유머러스하고, 벤 샨은 제목처럼 기타를 연주하는 가수가 울고 있다.

    그림

     

    나는 벤 샨의 그림에 더 끌린다. 어쿠스틱 알케미의 기타연주는 눈과 겨울 서정을 담고 있는데, 긍정적 사고(Positive Thinkng)라고 앨범 제목을 정하면서 자신(닉 웹)은 세상을 떠나다니…. 이 앨범은 내 청춘의 한때, 겨울의 눈발 속에서 헤매던 젊음의 낭만과 환멸을 담고 있다. 시와 재즈를 들으며 이십대를 보냈던 그 겨울, 이제 나는 박정대 시인의 <겨울 浮石寺>를 읊조리며 이십대를 보낸다.

     

    아무래도 나는 가야겠다
    오늘은 문득 바람이 불어
    앵두나무 푸른 잎들이 손사래치는
    적막한 내 저녁의 창가에서
    이 언덕과 저 구릉을 지나
    한 소설 음악처럼 너에게로 가야겠다

     

    밥짓는 마을의 저녁 연기 속으로
    개 짖는 소리는 컹, 컹, 컹
    돛배처럼 올라오는데
    겨울바람이 밀고 가는
    한 척의 저녁

     

    끝끝내 밀려가지 않는
    얼어붙은 폭포 속
    절벽의 악기 하나
    내 사랑의 의지가 돋을새김해 놓은

    겨울 浮石寺
    그 단단한 生의
    악기 속으로
    아무래도 나는
    음악처럼 가야겠다

    Welcome to a listing of Beatles recording dates. I wanted a checklist of all known Beatles performances in chronological order. This chronology includes both bootleg and legitimate album tracks. I use it to keep track of what I have heard vs. what I haven't heard. You may also find it to be useful, I hope! The amount of detail varies from entry to entry depending on my scholarship so far. Concerts, subtle mix variations, and interviews interest me less, so listings for those are less complete, for example. I haven't finished the list to my own satisfaction, but it is reasonably complete. Please browse!

    Here is an example of how I list a "reference mother", my name for the definitive, original release of a given recording.

    05OCT62 =MOTHER RELEASE= LOVE ME DO c/w P.S. I Love You   "PARLOPHONE 45-R 4949"
    o LOVE ME DO c/w P.S. I Love You [1ST ED. UK MONO 45] 
         o LOVE ME DO  [1ST ED. UK MONO 45] "w/Ringo-on-drums, 04SEP62 mix"
         . P.S. I Love You appears on the PLEASE PLEASE ME mono LP in identical form.
    MixNotes:  This mother is the basis for the Past Masters CD track.
    

    Notice that capital letters are used for the track title. You should only see this used on tracks that are reference mothers.
    And here's a similar example for an LP listing:

    01JUN67  ==MOTHER RELEASE== SGT PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND  "PARLOPHONE PMC 7027"
    o SGT PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND [MONO LP]
    SIDE 1:

    o WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS  [Mono LP track]

    **** ESSAY **********************************************************************************
    
    Lists of Beatles' alternate takes and alternate mixes seem to go on forever.
    But when we say "alternate", what do we mean?  The alternative compared 
    to what?  
    
    Apple, Capitol, and EMI's judgement regarding the catalog has
    been questionable to say the least.  They have effectively deleted some great stuff
    from the catalog, e.g, the mono 45 mix of Revolution, the stereo mix of 
    the LP A Hard Day's Night,  etc.
    
    So, it is up to us to decide which recordings are the canonical Beatles,
    leaving the remainder to be classified as "rarities", "alternates",
    "companion pieces", "bonus tracks", and so on.
    
    The lists that follow detail my personal decisions as to what is canonical and
    what is not, and why.  I call my choices "reference mothers", because the recordings 
    I've selected may be used as the definitive reference points against which other versions
    may be compared, and because these works are the spiritual mothers of all the others.
    
    If I were in London during the active years of the Beatles, WITH FOREKNOWLEDGE of the nature
    of their catalog, what would I buy to assemble a core collection?
    
    Criteria for listing as a mother include:
    - Mixed before the Beatles' breakup.
    - Released for sale to the general public before the Beatles' breakup.
    - Reproduced on the medium they were engineered for: vinyl.  
    - EMI-sanctioned UK Releases where possible.
    - Most authentic contemporary mixes.
    - Minimized number of duplications.
    - Deserves to stay perpetually in print.
    
    Things to avoid listing as a mother include:
    - ANTHOLOGY
    - STUDIO OUTTAKES
    - BBC SESSIONS
    - RARITIES OR VARIANT RELEASES, e.g. the original stereo mix of "Please Please Me" w/mistake.
    - LONE BEATLES, e.g. the Harrison LP, Electronic Sound.
    - FILM SCORES, e.g. incidental music on the USA Help! soundtrack LP.
    - TONY SHERIDAN, e.g. My Bonnie (Not really a product of The Beatles.)
    - CONCERTS (None were made publicly available before the band's breakup.)
    - INTERVIEWS
    - CHRISTMAS NOVELTIES
    - FILMS (None publicly for sale before breakup, no VCRs or DVDs!)
    
    Using these criteria, one winds up with a mostly monaural catalog of work as listed above,
    and relisted below in different useful sequences.

    A Beatles' Recording Timeline: The Beatals At Home

    An essay on the 1960 home recordings

    THE BEATALS AT HOME
    
    WHO: THE BEATALS
    An early lineup of the group which would evolve into The Beatles.  They
    are experimenting with the name of the band.  At the time of the recordings
    discussed here, they are calling themselves The Beatals.
    
    John Lennon (guitar/vocals/front man/composer).
    Paul McCartney (guitar/vocals/composer).
    George Harrison (guitar).
    Stu Sutcliffe (bass).  
    Occasionally Mike McCartney (percussion).  The Beatals have no steady 
    drummer at this time.
    
    WHAT: HOME RECORDINGS AND HOMEMADE ALBUMS
    Known at first as Quarrymen At Home and Liverpool, May, 1960 recordings from
    their bootleg titles, these are the earliest lengthy recordings of the 
    group.
    
    These tapes start out as straight live recordings of The Beatals.  They're 
    eager to "make a record", and have simple reel-to-reel tape decks to work
    with.  They record performances of numbers they have learned from records
    of the day, numbers they have written themselves, and blues jamming.
    
    The band play these back for their own education and amusement.  Because 
    some songs are better than others, they borrow another tape deck and dub
    their own "albums" onto new reels, selecting cuts from the original reels
    that they want to keep.  Probably the original reels are re-used to conserve
    money for new reels.  These "albums" are what have survived.
    
    In the end, many reels with overlapping selections were assembled.  On any
    given reel, any given title may be unique in its edit and in the number of
    generations away from the original recording.  "Snippets" are found where 
    the remainder of an earlier recording had later been recorded over with new
    material.  Also, in the processes of swapping reels on the "master" tape 
    deck, "snippets" may have appeared on the target reels, probably to allow 
    one of the tape decks to ramp-up to speed. Also some simple superimposition
    work was done on some of the selections. 
    
    One snippet has been bootlegged.  Also, Gottfridsson has heard eight more of
    these snippets: Six are 0:02, 0:08, 0:15, 0:02, 0:03, and 0:03 of 
    indecipherable performances.  Also an 0:05 snippet of "Hello Little Girl", 
    and a 0:02 snippet of "One After 909".  It would be nice to know if they 
    were all from the ENDS of songs.  I suspect they are, and are all 
    side-effects of the need to ramp up one or both of their tape decks when 
    they were making gift reels for people.
    
    Copies were made of these album reels.  Probably the Beatals hoped to secure
    concert gigs using them as auditions.  Copies would have been made as gifts
    for friends and as mementos for themselves.  The album reels available on
    bootlegs such as Madman's Wildcat! were apparently Mike McCartney's copies.
    Other album reels were taken along on their early trips to Hamburg, and 
    wound up in the hands of friends there.
    
    WHERE: McCartney's bathroom at No. 20 Forthlin Road mostly.  Other locales
    in Liverpool may be involved. 
    
    WHEN: April and May, 1960, over school vacation.  Other dates may be 
    associated with these recordings.
    
    MIXnotes: ALL TRACKS ARE [Mono]. 
    
    The extant recordings of The Beatals at home have not all been heard yet.
      
    Madman's Wildcat! provides a good point of reference for the common bootleg
    material from these sessions.  And it's the only version I have!  It seems 
    to be made from Mike McCartney's album reels.  It has so many recordings
    that I once thought they were all that survived from this period.
    
    Then Gottfridsson's book, The Beatles: From Cavern To Star Club came along.
    (abbreviated as FC2SC below).  Gottfridsson has apparently had some access 
    to tape reels of these recordings that were not used directly as sources for
    the currently common bootleg versions.  The tape reels, the Icke Braun reel
    [I], the Astrid Kirchherr reel [K], and the Charles Hodgson reel list both 
    different timings and additional material from what we knew before.
    
    When I set out to cross-index Gottfridsson's work against Wildcat!, I hit a
    stumbling block.  Gottfridsson used some titles that I couldn't figure out,
    like "Rhythm and Blues Jam 1".  I couldn't tell for certain which tracks he
    was referring to, in order to compare what I could hear on Wildcat! to what
    he was detailing.
    
    I finally figured out that he must have been getting his titles from 
    L.R.E. King's book, Do You Want To Know A Secret?.  Or else he and King both
    got their titles from the same common source.  Once I cracked this puzzle, 
    all of the alternate titles, alternate timings, and alternate sequencing 
    became managable.  I could definitely correlate the tracks I had with all of
    the (conflicting) descriptions I had.
    
    Besides Wildcat!, the 910 Guide, and Gottfridsson, I found the articles on
    Liverpool May 1960 from Illegal Beatles Nos. 8 and 17 to be invaluable.
    
    ============================================================================
    Here is my track-listing, in Wildcat! order, with commentary.
    
    Bootleg timings from the _Wild Cat_ CDs.
    
    All tracks listed with the "o = collectable recording" mark are found on 
    ANTHOLOGY 1, or among the bootlegs "The Beatals-Wildcat!", "The Quarry Men
    At Home" & "Liverpool-May 1960".
    
    o Wild Cat  [1:24] 
    [Disc 1, Track 1]
    AKA HR.17, Vocal #3, Oh No Not Me, Wild Cat #1, and Wildcat Version II.
    General agreement that this times at 1:24.
    
    o Wild Cat  [2:24]
    [Disc 1, Track 2]
    AKA HR.22, Wild Cat #2 and Wildcat Vesion I.  A concensus of 2:24.
    
    _ snippet d [0:15]
    The tape deck ramps up to allow copying of the next track?
    
    o I'll Always Be In Love With You [2:19]
    [Disc 1, Track 3]
    AKA HR.18.
    2:19 says Wildcat!, 2:23 says FC2SC.  Close.
    
    _ snippet b [0:08]
    The tape deck ramps up to allow copying of the next track?
    
    o You'll Be Mine [1:42]
    [Disc 1, Track 4]
    AKA HR.19.  Features some primitive superimposition work. 
    The version on ANTH1 is a shorter edit.
    General agreement.  (1:42).
    
    o snippet c [0:09]    
    AKA HR.20  (Unknown) 
    This 0:09 snippet didn't make it onto Wildcat!.  In IB #17, it was 
    described as sounding like the tape drive was ramping up. It remains
    associated with Matchbox on the Icke Braun reel (see Appendix below).
    
    o Matchbox [0:53]
    [Disc 1, Track 5]
    AKA as HR.21.  A-OK at 0:53
    
    _ snippet e of One After 909 [0:02]
    The tape deck ramps up to allow copying of the next track?
    
    o Some Days [1:32]
    [Disc 1, Track 6]
    AKA HR.23.  Agreement on time (1:32).
    
    o Cayenne [2:31]  
    [Disc 1, Track 7]
    AKA HR.24, Cayenne Pepper (acc. to McCartney)
    The version on ANTHOLOGY 1 is shorter due to editing.
    
    o One After 909  [1:28] (or [1:42]?)
    [Disc 1, Track 8]
    AKA HR.25, Version 2.
    
    This version features Mike McCartney banging on something.
    
    On Wildcat!, it's timed at 1:28 - Gottfridsson says that's trimmed, he's 
    heard a 1:42 recording of the same performance on the Icke Braun reel.  It's
    supposed to be longer by means of a Beatals-engineered 0:14 false end to 
    extend the track.
    
    o Well, Darling [3:19] (or [5:11]?)
    [Disc 1, Track 9]
    AKA HR.26, Hey, Darling.  FC2SC says the 3:19 version on Wildcat! has been 
    shortened from an earlier Kirchherr version of 5:11.
    
    _ snippet f [0:02]
    The tape deck ramps up to allow copying of the next track?
    
    o You Must Write Every Day [2:32]
    [Disc 1, Track 10]
    AKA HR.27, You Must Lie Every Day.  (2:32).
    
    o That's When Your Heartaches Begin [1:14]
    [Disc 1, Track 11]
    AKA HR.28.
    
    _ snippet g of Hello Little Girl [0:05]
    The tape deck ramps up to allow copying of the next track?
    
    o Hello Little Girl [1:51]
    [Disc 1, Track 12]
    AKA HR.29.
    
    o The World Is Waiting For the Sunrise [2:30]
    [Disc 1, Track 13]
    AKA HR.30.
    
    _ snippet i [0:03]
    The tape deck ramps up to allow copying of the next track?
    
    o I Don't Know [5:52]
    [Disc 1, Track 14]
    AKA HR.11, Vocal #2, and Blues Vocal #2.
    Wildcat! says 5:52, and Gottfridsson says 6:05.  Little difference.
    
    _ snippet h [0:03]
    The tape deck ramps up to allow copying of the next track?
    
    o I Don't Need No Cigarette, Boy [5:53]  (or [7:36]?)
    [Disc 1, Track 15]
    AKA Vocal #1, R&B Jam #3 in King, and Blues vocal #1.  In FC2SC, 
    it's Instrumental/Vocal K:5.
    
    Wildcat! says 5:53.  Gottfridsson heard a longer version on Astrid 
    Kirchherr's reel at 7:36.
    
    o That's An Important Number [7:49]
    [Disc 1, Track 16]
    AKA HR.09, Instrumental #4, Come On People in King, Blues Instrumental #3, 
    and in FC2SC, as Instrumental/Vocal K:4.
    
    Wildcat! timing = 7:49.  Gottfridsson timing = 7:32.  A near agreement.
    
    o Turn The Mixers Off [4:56]
    [Disc 1, Track 17]
    AKA HR.08, Improvisation, Instrumental #3, Unknown, Rock Instrumental #1, 
    and in FC2SC, Instrumental K:3.  I like the title given here, based on the
    comment audible in the track.  It's a 12-bar instrumental in G, but we 
    already have one of those in HR.04.  Since the timing is in question per
    Gottfridsson, we can't reliably refer to it as "the one that's 4:56 long"
    either.  
    
    Wildcat! times it at 4:56.  Gottfridsson says 3:00.  Again, did the tape 
    get edited down when the Kirchherr reel was made, or was the track
    lengthened by the bootlegger?  My ears do not detect any edits in
    the version presented on Wildcat!.  
    
    o I'll Follow The Sun [1:46]
    [Disc 2, Track 1]
    "w/Mike McCartney" 
    AKA HR.03. General consensus here.  All agree on the title :-), 
    and timings range from 1:39 to 1:45, call it 1:40.
    
    o Hallelujah! I Love Her So 
    [Disc 2, Track 2]
    AKA HR.06/07.
    All agree on the title, and the running time of 2:35.  Wildcat!'s cover 
    shows 2:12 for this track, but the full 2:35 version is on the CD.  The
    17-second intro is sometimes omitted.  The version on ANTHOLOGY 1 is edited
    and shorter.
    
    o One After 909  [2:25]
    [Disc 2, Track 3]
    AKA HR.12, Version I.  Wildcat!'s timing of 2:25 is within a couple seconds
    of other references.
    
    o Movin' N' Groovin' [3:19]
        ...in a medley with...
    o Ramrod [0:26]
    [Disc 2, Track 4]
    AKA HR.13/14, Instrumental #5, Brown-Eyed Handsome Man, Guitar Bop, and 
    random blues jamming.
    Wildcat! timing = 3:45, FC2SC timing = 3:58.  Close enough?
    
    _ snippet a [0:02]
    The tape deck ramps up to allow copying of the next track?
    
    o 12-Bar Instrumental In A [11:44]
    [Disc 2, Track 5]
    AKA HR.15, Improvisation, Instrumental #6, Rock jam (King), Blues 
    Instrumental #4, and in FC2SC, Instrumental I:1.
    Wildcat!'s Improvisation (11:44) is again accused of being artificially 
    lengthened.  Gottfridsson hears a 7:15 version on the Braun reel.
    
    o 12-Bar Instrumental in G [7:42]
    [Disc 2, Track 6]
    AKA HR.04, Improvisation, Instrumental #1, R&B Jam #1, Blues Inst'l. #1, and 
    in FC2SC, Instrumental K:1.  I like the title given, it makes it possible
    to discuss the track without confusion.
      
    Wildcat! times this at 7:42.  Gottfridsson says that it's shorter on the 
    Kirchherr reel at 5:33.  He also says the 7:42 version is lengthened by 
    edit.  When I listen to the track on Wildcat!, I hear no edits.  My guess
    is  that the version Gottfridsson heard was truncated by editing the 
    Wildcat! version.
    
    o 12-Bar Instrumental in F [11:06]
    [Disc 2, Track 7]
    AKA HR.05, Improvisation, Instrumental #2, R&B Jam #2 (King), ]
    Blues Inst'l #2, and in FC2SC, Instrumental K:2.
    
    Wildcat! times this at 11:06.  Gottfridsson says the Kirchherr reel runs
    at 6:38.  Again, I don't hear any evidence of lengthening by the 
    bootlegger.  Who would LENGTHEN this stuff for pete's sake?
    
    o That's The End [17:40]
    [Disc 2, Track 8]
    AKA HR.16, Improvisation, Instrumental #7, R&B Jam #4 (King), Blues 
    Instrumental #5, and Instrumental I:2 per FC2SC.  I like giving it a 
    title based on the spoken words found on the track to distinguish it 
    from the other blues in F from these sessions.
    
    Gottfridsson says this originally 10:07-long track was lengthened by 
    the bootleggers to the Wildcat! timing of 17:40.  This is the clincher.
    No human could bear to work on lengthening this, it would be torture.
    My ears hear no evidence of editing on the Wildcat! version.  
    Gottfridsson has to be hearing SHORTENED versions of the familiar 
    bootleg tracks.
    
    Gottfridsson also introduces four more tracks not yet released, and
    only to be found on the old reels...
    
    _ When I'm 64
    
    _ Winston's Walk
    
    _ Ask Me Why

    MixNotes: All tracks are in true mono.  The "P.S. I LOVE YOU" track on the LP first 
    appeared on a UK 45 RPM single.  The PLEASE PLEASE ME and ASK ME WHY tracks, previously
    released, were remixed to add similar eq, compression and echo to that on the tracks 
    new to the LP.  Session tapes for Love Me Do and P.S. I Love You were already lost.
    The 1987 CD Please Please Me was remastered from this mother. 
    There is also a complete twin-track stereo version of this LP. 
    
    
    == Alternate Mixes and Masters - PLEASE PLEASE ME LP ==
    o Please Please Me (Mono 1987 CD and LP special edition)
    Track listing same as LP.  This remaster approximates the chosen mother.

    performance of "Please Please Me" different from that on the mono lp.

    LP A HARD DAY'S NIGHT
    This UK LP included all four of the UK singles tracks recorded in this period.
    (LP includes 45 CAN'T BUY ME LOVE c/w YOU CAN'T DO THAT)
    (LP includes 45 A HARD DAY'S NIGHT c/w THINGS WE SAID TODAY)
    
    The current standard release is the A Hard Day's Night CD, which is mastered
    from the UK mono LP tapes.  By this time, the performances were recorded with
    the intention of releasing a stereo album.  While less effort was spent on
    the stereo mixes originally, one might like the stereo mixes better.
    Outside of the stereo LP mixes, the variations are mostly minor.  I'LL CRY
    INSTEAD has a notably different and longer edit on the UA soundtrack and
    video versions of the song.

    30대도 원더걸스 '텔미' 중독, 어쩌면 좋아?

    30대도 원더걸스 '텔미' 중독, 어쩌면 좋아?
    겁나게 우리를 중독시킨 소녀들에 대한 보고서
    조은미 (cool)
     
     
      
    원더걸스의 '텔미' 뮤직비디오
    ⓒ JYP 엔터테인먼트
    원더걸스

     

    "하루 종일 귀에서 '텔 미, 텔 미 테테테테테 텔 미'하는 노래가 들린다. 이러니 계속 흥얼거리게 된다. 진짜 빠지면 헤어나오기 어렵다."


    30대 김유식씨는 황당했다. 나이가 몇인데 10대 아이돌 가수 노래에 이렇게 빠지다니? 창피했다. 그런데 'Tell Me' 중독자가 그 뿐이 아니었다. 둘러보니 많았다.

     

    20대는 아예 '텔미' 춤까지 췄다. 부러웠다. 김유식씨도 집에서  '텔미' UCC를 따라해 봤다. 할수록 재미있었다. 근 10년 만이었다. "천사를 찾아, 사바사바" 하고 노래 부르며 엉덩이 두드리던 때로 돌아간 듯 했다.

     

    듣는다-따라 부른다-본다-따라 춘다-UCC도 만든다

     

      
    원더걸스 선미, 소희.
    ⓒ JYP엔터테인먼트
    원더걸스

    원더걸스의 '텔미'가 열풍을 넘었다. '텔미' 중독 증세를 호소하는 이들이 숱하다. '텔미 중독증'엔 단계도 있다.

     

    1단계, '텔미' 노래를 자꾸 듣는다. 2단계, '텔미' 노래를 따라 부른다. 종일 흥얼거린다. 3단계, 원더걸스가 만든 '텔미' 뮤직비디오를 마스터 하고, '텔미' 댄스 UCC를 찾아본다. 4단계, '텔미' 댄스를 따라 한다. '살랑살랑' 춤을 추고, '팔찌춤'을 춘다. 5단계, '텔미'댄스 UCC를 제작한다.

     

    당신은 지금 어느 단계인가? 1단계는 낫다. 2단계 이르면 헤어 나오기 어렵다. 많은 이들이 4단계와 5단계까지 진출했다.

     

    올 가을 고등학교와 대학 축제 최고 스타는 원더걸스였다. 정확히는 원더걸스의 '텔미'였다. 지난 9월 교통사고가 난 것도 원더걸스가 지방 대학축제를 뛰고 올라오다 일어난 일이었다. 미처 원더걸스를 초대하지 못한 학교에도 '텔미' 열풍은 덮쳤다.

     

    꿩대신 닭, 학교마다 '짝퉁' 원더걸스가 축제 무대를 빛냈다. 남학생들은 긴 머리 가발에 짧은 미니스커트, 원더걸스 스타일 여장도 서슴지 않았다. 무대에 서서 '텔미' 댄스를 췄다.

     

    학교만이 아니었다. 유행의 외곽지대인 군대도 '텔미' 열풍에선 예외가 아니다. 원더걸스가 군부대에서 공연했다. 또 군인 버전 '텔미' 댄스 UCC도 등장했다.

     

    특별히 섹시하지도 않고 특별히 대단한 미모도 아닌데다가 특별히 기가 막히게 노래를 잘 하지도 않는 이들에게 대한민국이 홀딱 빠진 이유가 뭘까? 가요계를 떠났다는 30·40대마저 아이돌 가수에 열광케 만든 이유는 뭘까?

     

    원더걸스, 예쁘지는 않지만 사랑스러운 롤리타?      

     

    대중음악 평론가인 김작가씨는 "2003년 문근영으로 증명됐듯이 우리나라에서 가장 폭발력 있는 코드가 '롤리타 코드'"라며 "원더걸스는 가요계 최초로 롤리타 코드가 이식된 경우로 봐야 한다"고 지적했다.

     

    실제 원더걸스에서 최고 인기를 누리는 멤버는 안소희다. 안소희는 별명이 '만두'. 통통한 볼 때문이다. 팬들도 인정하듯이 솔직히 소희는 특출난 미모라고 말하기엔 부족하다. 하지만 귀엽다. 팬들도 "뭐라 탁 꼬집을 순 없지만, 너무 귀엽다"며 열광한다.

     

    김작가씨는 "'텔미' 하면 떠오르는 게, "어마나" 하며 소희가 뺨 가리는 것"이라며 그것이 원더걸스 이미지의 핵심이라고 말한다. 그는 "그래서 다른 아이돌 스타와 달리 10대 남자들뿐만 아니라 30대 40대 아저씨들까지 원더걸스에 열광한다"고 덧붙였다.

     

    최근 여성 아이돌은 하나 같이 섹시 콘셉트를 표방했다. 대표적인 게 이효리다. 그러나 이젠 더 이상 섹시 콘셉트가 매력적이지 않은 상황에서 원더걸스가 '롤리타 코드'를 들고 나와 성공했다는 것이다.

     

    그 귀여운 매력이 폭발한 게 '텔미'다. 이제 20대가 돼버린 '국민 여동생' 문근영의 빈 자리를 소희가 채운 걸까?

     

    단순하게 스며드는 '텔미' 중독

     

    물론 그뿐이 아니다. 원더걸스는 사실 싱글 '아이러니'로 데뷔했다. 하지만 지금 '텔미'만한 인기를 얻지 못했다. 그런데 '텔미'는 왜 유독 인기가 많을까? 이젠 아이돌 스타 이름도 못 외우는 30·40대를 '텔미'는 어떻게 사로잡았을까?

     

    김작가씨는 그 이유로 "중독성 있는 멜로디 라인과 넓은 층에 어필하는 복고적 사운드의 결합"을 들었다.

     

    '텔미'는 최근 신인 가수들이 숱하게 들고 나오는 노래들과 사뭇 다르다. 일단 노래가 쉽다. 멜로디가 단순하다. 랩도 별로 없고, '꺾기'도 없다. 웬만한 '노래치'도 듣고 따라하기 쉬울 정도다. 거기다 "텔 미 텔 미 테테테테테 텔미" 후렴구가 수차례 반복한다. 반복은 세뇌를 낳는다. 가사도 단순하다. 거기다 신난다. 들으면 신나고, 따라하면 더 신난다. 소희라도 된 양 "어머나" 하며 뺨에 살짝 손을 대보는 재미가 쏠쏠하다.

     

    김작가씨는 "요즘 음악들이 대중들한테 익숙지 않은 흑인 팝 음악 사운드를 차용해서 억지로 가요로 만든 바람에 설득력이 없었는데, 빅뱅의 '거짓말'이나 원더걸스의 '텔미'는 80년대 사운드에 기반했기에 당연히 친숙하다"고 분석했다.

     

    이 분석은 의미심장하다. 가요가 '그들만의 리그' 같다 느끼며 가요를 외면하던 이들에게 '우리 같이 리그'할 노래가 나온 셈이랄까?

     

    최근 콘서트 무대에선 노래 따라 부르는 관객들을 보기가 어려웠다. 소수 10대 열혈팬만 따라했다. 하지만 빅뱅의 '거짓말'과 원더걸스의 '텔미' 콘서트장은 사뭇 다르다. 원더걸스 콘서트장에선 관객들 노래 소리에 원더걸스의 노래가 묻히는 일이 종종 일어난다.

     

    군부대에 원더걸스가 공연을 갔을 때도 진풍경이 연출됐다. 다른 가수 공연엔 그저 넋놓고 바라보던 군인들이 원더걸스 '텔미' 공연에선 달랐다. 노래를 따라불렀다. 군인들의 합창 에 원더걸스가 부르는 '텔미'는 들리지 않았다. 80년대 90년대 초반에나 보던 풍경이었다.

     

    오랫동안 기다려온 원더걸스, 데뷔 전에 데뷔했다

    '텔미' 열풍의 비결은 또 있다. 최근 미국 팝은 80년대 '복고'가 트렌드다. 마돈나도 크리스티나 아길레라도 '복고'풍 '레트로'다. 미국에 상주하던 박진영이 그걸 모를 리 없다. '텔미'는 알려진 대로 스테이시 큐의 '투 오브 하트(Two of hearts)' 를 샘플링 했다. 그걸 박진영이 작사, 작곡하고 프로듀싱 했다.

     

    김작가씨는 "미국 팝의 핵심 코드가 복고로 80년대 레트로 사운드"라며, "원더걸스가 80년대 스테이시 큐로 샘플링한 걸 보면, 박진영이 미국 시장 흐름을 정확히 읽어냈다"고 지적했다.

     

    그뿐 아니다. 원더걸스는 박진영이 주도하는 JYP엔터테인먼트가 오랜 시간 공들여 키운 야심작이다. JYP엔터테인먼트가 설립 10년 만에 내놓은 첫 여성그룹이다. '텔미' 가사처럼 "얼마나 오래 꿈꿨는지 몰라"다. 리더인 민선예는 2001년 SBS '박진영의 영재육성프로젝트, 99%의 도전'에서 발굴한 천재 소녀다. 다른 멤버도 JYP에서 오랜 시간 공을 들인 JYP 연습생이다.

     

    데뷔도 주도면밀했다. 원더걸스는 데뷔 전에 데뷔했다. 요즘 아이돌 스타의 등용문처럼 돼버린 '리얼리티 프로그램'을 원더걸스도 정식 데뷔 전에 찍었다. 'MTV Wonder Girls'였다. 

     

    MTV에서 10회 분량인 시즌1을 찍고 인기가 높자, 시즌2까지 찍었다. 시즌1 'MTV 원더걸스'는 원더걸스로 미리 선정된 JYP연습생 4명과 함께할 다섯 번째 멤버를 찾는 오디션을 보여줬다. 그 때 박예은이 뽑혔다. 미국 6인조 여성그룹 '푸시캣돌스'의 7번째 멤버를 뽑던 미국 리얼리티 프로그램 '넥스트 푸시캣 돌스'를 연상시키는 프로였다.

     

    그런데 그뿐이 아니었다. 이 프로는 한편으로 '원더걸스 데뷔일기'를 보여줬다. 이미 뽑힌 4명이 '인간극장'을 찍었다. 그렇게 원더걸스 각 멤버들 캐릭터가 드러났고, 팬들이 생겨났다. 데뷔 전에 팬클럽도 생겼다. 지금 최고 인기를 누리는 남자 아이돌 그룹 빅뱅도 데뷔 전 이런 리얼리티 프로그램을 찍었다.

     

    텔미, 너도 내 옷차림을 좋아할 줄은 몰랐어

     

    원더걸스의 매력은 또 있다. 원더걸스는 다른 여자 가수나 아이돌 그룹과 스타일도 달랐다. 패션도 '복고'였다. 아슬아슬하게 세련된 촌스러움이 빛나는 스타일이었다. 컬러는 튀고, 메이크업도 튀었다.

     

    패션 크리에이티브 디렉터 하상백씨는 "레트로를 일렉트로닉 버전으로 리믹스한 노래에 맞춰, 요즘 언더그라운드 클럽신 아이디어를 많이 쓴 듯 하다"며 "노래가 그런 만큼 룩도 그리 잘 맞춰서, 일부러 적당히 '저렴해 보이게' 입은 것 같다"고 분석했다.

     

    베스트·테일러드 재킷에 원 버튼, 딱 달라붙는 레깅스나 타이트 스키니 진, 또는 핫팬츠에 블링블링한 아이템을 입는다든가 하는 식으로 여러 요소들을 잘 섞었다는 것이다. 헤어스타일도 짧은 숏컷도 있고 긴 머리를 묶은 포니테일도 있고.

     

    이어서 하상백씨는 "이런 스트리트 룩과 언더그라운드 신의 룩이 사람들 눈높이에 딱 맞는다"고 덧붙였다. 보기엔 멋져도 감히 입을 수 없을 것 같은 연예인 룩이 아니라고 할까?

     

    이런 스타일링도 원더걸스가 다른 아이돌 그룹과 다른 이미지를 만드는 데 한몫 했다. 예를 들어 '소녀시대'와 '원더걸스'는 같은 10대지만 아주 다르다. '소녀시대' 하면 '청순함'이 탁 떠오른다. 발랄하고 꿈 많은 소녀시대. 하지만 원더걸스는? 탁 하나로 떠오르기보다 온갖 이미지가 떠오른다. 멤버별 캐릭터가 각자 다르기 때문이다.

     

    패션 크리에이티브 디렉터 하상백씨는 "원더걸스는 멤버들이 캐릭터에 맞게 옷을 잘 입는다"며, "소희는 옆집 소녀 같은 발랄한 옷을 입고, 다른 한 명은 매니쉬하게 긴 바지에 재킷을 입고, 공주 컨셉트으로 입는 멤버도 한 명 있다"고 지적했다. 캐릭터별로 옷이 달라서, 무대 위에서 버라이어티 쇼를 보여준다는 것이다.

     

    원더걸스의 '텔미' 열풍엔 다 이유가 있다.

    foobar 4 HRTF(Head-Related Transfer Function)

     

     

     

    HRTF란 무엇인가 + 사용?법

    근 몇년간 HRTF를 써오면서 제가 쓰는 글마다 소스에 HRTF 변환소스를 사용했다는 멘트를 남겨서 그럴까.. 그동안도 간간히 그랬지만 최근 특히 저에게 다양한 루트를 통해 HRTF에 대해 문의해 오는 분들이 많아졌습니다. 제대로 소개도 안하고 니혼자 좋은거 쓰면 좋냐?라는거 같기도 하고 여튼 이래저래 HRTF에 대해 소개를 하지 않으면 안될 기분이 들어서 간만에 신나게 키보드를 두들겨 봅니다.



    HRTF? 그거먹는거?

    먹는거면 얼마나 좋겠습니까만은.. Head-Related Transfer Function, 줄여서 HRTF라 함은 두 귀가 머리를 사이에 두고 떨어져 있는 사람의 청각인지 구조상에서 생기는 음(정확히는 주파수)의 변화를 함수(Function) 관계로 정리한 것입니다. 쉽게 말해 머리가 장애물이 되어 음의 진행에 영향을 주는 정도를 수학적으로 정리한 거라고 할 수 있겠죠.

    사람이 기본적으로 청각을 통해 방향감을 인지하는 요소는 두 귀가 서로 떨어져 있기 때문으로 흔히 알려져 있습니다. HRTF는 여기에서 더 나아가 두 귀 사이에 일종의 방해물처럼 존재하고 있는 머리라는 존재가 발생시키는 음의 변화까지 계산한 것이죠. 두 귀에 최대한 가까운 위치에 마이크로폰을 대고 주파수 반응을 측정해 보면 실제로 같은 음이라도 들리는 방향에 따라 주파수 반응이 달라집니다. 그런 같은 음을 발생해도 위치에 따라 달라지는 주파수 반응을 구면좌표계상의 모든 방향에 대해 측정하여 3차원적인 함수로 정리해 놓은 것이 바로 HRTF죠.


    저런 식으로 사람 머리 주위의 공간상에 구면좌표계를 설정해 놓고
    돌아가면서 주파수를 다 측정했다 이말



    여기까지 설명을 들어도 모르겠다? 그러면 그냥 좋은거다 라고 생각하면 됩니다 :$ 여기까지 설명을 들어도 모르겠는데 그래도 꼭 알고싶다 하는 분은 책을 찾아보시길. (강성훈 강경옥 공저, {입체음향}. 기전연구사, 1997.)

    기본적으로 우리가 흔히들 음장이라고 부르는 SRS나 BBS따위의 공간감 시뮬레이터들은 그런식으로 측정된 HRTF를 기초로 만들어집니다. 최대한 많은 사람들의 HRTF를 측정하여 그 데이터들의 평균값을 낸 표준적인 HRTF를 토대로 원하는 공간감을 시뮬레이션할 수 있는 것이죠.

    그렇다면 HRTF를 가지고 PC에선 뭘 할 수 있느냐? HRTF를 사용하여 일반적인 스테레오 소스를 변환시키면 바이노럴 소스와 같은 효과가 나옵니다. 바이노럴은 또 뭔데? 인터넷상에 가끔 떠도는 뭐 귀에 대고 속삭이는 소리라거나 하는 신기한 소리 쯤으로 떠돌아 다니는 자료들이 다 바이노럴 소스들입니다. 이렇게 말하면 HRTF 변환이란게 어떤 효과가 있을지는 대략 짐작하시겠죠?


    머리아픈 얘기는 이쯤하고 본론으로 넘어갑시다 -ㅅ-/



    기초공사

    위에서 공간감 시뮬레이터들은 표준적인 HRTF를 기준으로 만들어진다고 했습니다. 그런데 HRTF를 토대로 한 시뮬레이션이 아니라 HRTF를 바로 일반 소스에 적용시킬려면 어떻게 해야하나? 별수없습니다. 기존에 측정되어 있는 HRTF 모델들 중 자신과 가장 잘 맞는 모델을 찾아야지요. 물론 표준적인 HRTF를 사용하여 일률적으로 일반 소스에 적용시킬 수도 있으나 그러는 것보다는 아무래도 세부 모델 중 하나를 찾는게 보다 더 확실한 효과를 얻을 수 있기 때문입니다. 네모턱 + 세모턱의 데이터를 평균화하여 둥근턱의 데이터가 나왔는데 나는 네모턱이다.. 근데 둥근턱의 데이터만 쓸 수 있다고 하면 억울하겠죠?

    사실 당연하지만 가장 좋은 방법은 HRTF를 연구하는 연구소에 찾아가서 자신의 HRTF를 측정하는 것입니다만.. 저도 그저 손톱만 빨 뿐입니다. 국내엔 카이스트에 그런거 연구하는 데가 있다는거 같긴 하던데 좀 아시는분? ㅠ.ㅠ


    http://www.ircam.fr/equipes/salles/listen/sounds.html

    위 페이지의 모델들은 프랑스 파리의 IRCAM이라는 동네에서 측정된 데이터들입니다. 이제 자신에게 가장 잘 맞는 샘플을 찾아보세요. 이어폰이나 헤드폰을 끼고 샘플들을 하나하나 들어보면서 머리 주위를 도는 백색잡음의 느낌이 가장 자연스러운 것을 찾습니다. 다른 거 볼 거 없이 백색잡음이 얼마나 머리를 자연스럽게 한바퀴 도느냐가 포인트.

    http://www.ircam.fr/equipes/salles/listen/download.html

    찾은 샘플 번호에 맞춰 위 페이지에서 실제 데이터를 다운받습니다.받은 압축파일 내의 compensate폴더의 wav파일들을 c:hrtf에 저장하시길.

    그다음 커맨드 프롬프트(시작->실행->cmd 등의 방법)를 띄워서 c:hrtf로 이동한다음 dir/b > files명령으로 files라는 이름의 확장자가 없는 파일을 생성합니다. 생성후 이 파일을 메모장으로 열어서 가장 마지막줄에 files라는 부분을 없애주세요. files라는 파일 내의 목록에는 확장자가 wav로 된 파일 리스트 외엔 아무 것도 포함되어선 안됩니다.

    그다음은 아래 두개를 클릭해서 다운받아주세요.

    Foobar v0.8.3 special
    HRTF DSP for foorbar v0.8.3

    HRTF DSP를 구동하기 위한 dll파일은 푸바가 깔린 폴더 내의 components 폴더에 넣어줍니다. 안타깝게도 아직 0.9용 HRTF DSP가 없어서 HRTF를 쓰고 싶으면 부득이하게 0.8.3을 써야 합니다. 누구 좀 아무나 수소오디오(맞나?) 가서 HRTF 0.9용으로 만들어 달라고 해주실분 없을려나 :(


    사실 가장 중요한건 이어폰/헤드폰의 준비인데.. 기본적으로 HRTF 변환 소스는 바이노럴 소스와 비슷한 특성을 보이는 관계로 중고음이 상당히 꺼집니다. 사실은 공간보정에 의한 당연한 결과이겠지만서도 일반적인 소스에 길들여져 있는 귀로 듣기엔 중고음이 꺼져 있다고 들리게 되죠. 뭐 사실은 그게 정상인 거니 별 신경쓸 필요는 없습니다.

    중고음이 감쇄되는 특성을 보상해 줄 수 있는, 현재 시중에서 쉽게 구할 수 있는 바이노럴 소스 전용 이어폰은 ER-4B 하나밖에 모르겠군요. 뭐 ER-4B가 아니더라도 ER-4S 정도만 되도 충분하다면 충분. 단 슈어/웨스턴/UE계열 같이 안그래도 중고음~고음 감쇄특성을 보이거나 그라도/오테 계열처럼 지나치게 착색이 들어간 이어폰/헤드폰류에선 HRTF의 제대로된 효과를 보기 힘듭니다.



    실제로 써먹어보기
    * 캡쳐화면들은 클릭해서 보세요



    푸바 실행화면입니다. 에? 뭔가 다르다구요? 그건 눈의 착각일 뿐입니다(뻥) 자세한 푸바 사용법에 대한 글이 아니므로 푸바 꾸미기 등의 설명은 다른 글들을 찾아 읽어보세요. 푸바의 세계는 무궁무진합니다 :$


    여튼 Foobar2000 -> Preferences 로 들어갑니다. 단축키 뭐라 써져 있는지 보이시죠?


    Playback -> DSP Manager에 가며 현재 깔려있는 DSP들이 모두 나타납니다. 왼쪽은 사용중인 DSP, 오른쪽은 사용가능한 DSP의 목록이죠. 오른쪽에서 원하는 DSP를 선택한 후 화살표를 누르거나 더블클릭하거나 해서


    이렇게 왼쪽으로 옮깁니다. 그러면 실시간으로 HRTF 변환이 되서 출력됩니다.


    Playback -> DSP Manager -> HRTF로 가면 구면좌표계상의 음원 방향을 조절할 수 있습니다. Theta는 수평면, Phi는 수직면 방향이므로 자신이 원하는 각도로 돌려 들으시면 됩니다. 아무리 조절해도 공간감이 부자연스럽네 하는 경우는 기초공사로 돌아가서 샘플부터 새로 선정해 볼 것을 추천드립니다.



    몇가지 안내사항
    1. HRTF 변환 소스를 스피커로 들으면 바보 소리 듣습니다.
    2. HRTF 변환 소스를 포터블로 들고다니실 분은 foobar로 변환해서 들고 다니시면 됩니다.
    3. 음량이 상당부분 줄어듭니다.
    4. 원본소스의 샘플링주파수는 무조건 44.1KHz에 맞춰야 합니다. CD도 안된다는듯?

    커버스토리]대중음악 100대 명반 ‘들국화’1위

     

     

    커버스토리]대중음악 100대 명반 ‘들국화’1위
     
    경향신문 | 기사입력 2007-08-23 10:27 | 최종수정 2007-08-23 10:39 기사원문보기
     

     

    그룹 들국화의 데뷔 음반(1985)이 한국 대중음악 역사상 최고의 명반으로 꼽혔다.

     

    경향신문은 문화기획·대중음악 전문매체인 ‘가슴네트워크’에 의뢰, 평론가·기자·방송PD·음반기획자 등 국내의 대중음악 전문가 52명을 대상으로 설문조사해 ‘한국대중음악 100대 명반’을 선정했다. 그 결과, 들국화 데뷔 음반이 1위에 올랐다. 이 음반은 총 207점을 획득했으며, 선정위원의 87%인 45명으로부터 추천을 받았다. 별도의 추천 음반 리스트가 없었다는 점을 감안한다면, 거의 대부분의 선정위원이 들국화의 데뷔음반을 ‘명반’으로 꼽은 셈이다.

     

    선정위원장 박준흠씨(가슴네트워크 대표)는 들국화의 음악을 ‘80년대 새로운 음악의 시작’이라고 평했다. 그들의 데뷔음반을 시작으로 80년대 중·후반 ‘한국대중음악의 르네상스’가 열렸다는 것이다. 이 음반에 수록된 ‘그것만이 내 세상’ ‘매일 그대와’ ‘오후만 있던 일요일’은 현대 음악 마니아의 감성과도 동떨어지지 않으며, 서구 대중음악의 트렌드에서도 벗어나지 않는 ‘세련된’ 한국대중음악의 시작이기도 하다는 지적이다.

     

    2위는 유재하의 데뷔작이자 마지막 작품인 ‘사랑하기 때문에’(87)였다. 41명의 선정위원으로부터 182점을 얻었다. 음악평론가 임진모씨는 작사·작곡·편곡을 모두 해낸 유재하야말로 한국 대중음악 사상 처음으로 ‘음악적 자주의 완전 실현’을 이뤘다고 평가했다.

     

    3위는 71년 발표된 김민기의 유일한 독집 음반이다. 발매 직후 전량 압수돼 폐기됐고, 모든 곡이 금지된 이 음반에 대해 김창남 성공회대 교수는 “대중가요가 그저 그런 사랑과 이별, 눈물뿐 아니라 깊은 철학적 사색과 시대적 고민을 담는 예술적 산물일 수 있음을 보여준 음반”이라고 말했다.

     

    김창완·창훈·창익 형제의 산울림 1, 2집은 5, 6위에 나란히 오르며 기염을 토했다. 산울림은 4위, 11위를 차지한 어떤날의 음반과 함께 20위권 내에 2장의 앨범을 올린 밴드다.

     

    90년대 음반으로 10위권에 든 것은 9위인 델리 스파이스 데뷔음반(97), 10위인 이상은의 ‘공무도하가’(95)였다. 90년대 ‘문화대통령’이라 불리며 대중음악의 패러다임을 순식간에 바꾼 서태지와 아이들의 정규 음반은 4장 모두 100위권에 들었다. 데뷔음반(92)이 24위를 차지한 것을 비롯해, 2집(93)이 30위, 4집(95)이 36위, 3집(94)이 57위를 차지했다.

     

    중장년층을 중심으로 꾸준한 사랑을 받고 있는 트로트 장르 음반은 순위권에 포함되지 못했다. 박준흠씨는 “트로트 장르는 앨범으로서의 완성도보다는 싱글 중심의 엔터테인먼트를 추구하는 경향이 강해 ‘앨범 차트’에 포함되지 않은 듯하다”고 말했다. 70년대 이전 음악이 포함되지 않은 점에 대해서도 “60년대까지는 ‘히트곡 모음집’ 개념이 강했지, 뮤지션이 자신의 음악적 주제를 갖고 작품으로서의 음반으로 내지 않았다”고 설명했다.

     

    상위권 순위를 살펴보면 80년대 중·후반에 명반이 쏟아져 나왔음을 알 수 있다. 상위 20위에 오른 음반중 10장이 이 시기에 발매됐다. 박준흠씨는 “들국화가 데뷔한 85년에서 김현식이 죽은 90년까지 한국 대중음악계는 스타일이 가장 다양했고, 여러 세대 음악인이 공존했으며, 주류 음악권에서 명반이 나왔던 시기”라고 분석했다. 예상과 달리 90년대 대중음악을 주도한 프로듀서 겸 작곡자들은 높은 평가를 받지 못했다. 전문가들은 프로듀싱 등 ‘기능적’ 측면보다는 좋은 노래를 만들 수 있는 ‘창작력’을 중시하고 있음을 보여주는 결과다.


    박준흠씨는 “음악산업의 핵심은 ‘작품으로서의 앨범’”이라며 “음반을 사는 음악 마니아의 욕구를 충족시키고, 음악사적인 부분에서도 음반이라는 개념을 환기한다는 측면에 이번 기획의 의미가 있다”고 평가했다.

     

    경향신문은 앞으로 1위~100위 음반에 대한 리뷰를 1년여에 걸쳐 연재할 예정이다.

    제 목 [과소평가] 너에게만.. 듀스
    추천사유 한 달 전쯤 네이버에서 이현도 관련 자료를 검색하다 어떤 뉴스에서 댓글로 아르헨도 어쩌고저쩌고 달린걸 보게 됐다. '야 이사람 또 무지하게 두들겨 맞네' 혼자 생각하며.. 사실 듀스 이현도는 굉장히 불행한 길을 걸었던 뮤지션이다. 데뷔 초기에는 서태지와 아이들에게 스포트라이트를 뺏기고 후기엔 룰라의 대중적 인기에 가려졌으며 그들의 라이벌이라고 할 수 있었던 서태지의 음악은 낱낱이 해부되어 하나의 예술로 대접받았지만 이들은 그냥 댄스뮤지션일 뿐이었다. 활동당시 이들의 진가를 알아봤던 사람들은 극소수에 불과했다. 거기에 해체 후 김성재의 죽음이란 악재가 이어졌고, 이현도 역시 솔로 데뷔를 하지만 실상 그의 음악적 정수는 김성재의 솔로앨범에서 끝나버렸기에.. 하지만 90년대 후반에 들어서며 늦게나마 듀스 음악에 관심이 쏟아지기 시작했는데 모 평론가는 이현도를 서태지, 조동익과 더불어 90년대 3대 음악감독으로 칭할 정도였다. 언더, 오버를 막론하고 힙합을 한다는 사람들이 이현도를 전설로 추대하기 시작한 것도 비슷한 시기였으며 2004년에 발표한 앨범에선 초호화 참여진을 거느릴 수도 있었다. 그러나 현재, 대중들이나 병아리 랩퍼들은 이현도의 랩 실력을 문제 삼기도 하고 듀스의 음악을 가지고 가요지 힙합이 아니다. 라는 말을 한다. 싸이월드 사건으로 대중적인 인기도 많이 실추돼 버렸고 국내 활동을 거의 중단한 지금에 이르러서는 아르헨도로만 기억될 뿐이다. 그렇지만 그는 그렇게 간단하게 이야기될 부류의 뮤지션이 아니다. 90년대의 전설 듀스. 그 안으로 들어가 보자. 시간을 14년 전으로..

    Comment :  ‘나를 돌아봐’가 차트에서 종횡무진 활약하며 일약 스타덤에 오른 이들의 데뷔작. 재킷에서도 추측이 가능하지만 음악적 브레인인 이현도는 보컬과 비주얼이 약한 편이기 때문에 (누구 말마따나 발음이 약하고 음색은 탁하다) 상대적으로 괜찮은 보이즈와 외모의 김성재를 선두에 내세웠고 자신은 작곡에 전념한다. 타이틀곡인 ‘나를 돌아봐’는 국내에선 거의 최초로 라임을 시도한 가사를 담은 곡으로도 유명하고 ‘알고 있었어’는 이현도식 발라드의 시작인데 좀 어설프지만 지금 들어봐도 멜로디가 꽤 괜찮다. ‘나의 바보같은 이야기’는 뮤지션의 데뷔작에서만 발견되는 풋풋한 감성이 느껴지는데 90년대 초반의 전형적인 가요 멜로디를 담고 있다. New Jack Swing적인 라인을 가진 '매일 항상 언제나'는 리듬감이 굉장히 뛰어나고, '이제'와 같은 곡은 흔히 말하는 쌍팔년도 비트인데 투박한게 나름대로 멋이 있다.

    Comment :  국내에선 거의 최초 힙합이라고 할 수 있는 ‘無題’의 원래 제목이 ‘힙합’이였다는 건 유명한 일화인데 심의에 걸려서 무제라고 제목을 바꿨다고 한다. 이정도 이었으니 당시 상황이 얼마나 (지금에 와서 생각해보면) 끔찍하고 무지했었는지 알 수 있다. 또 하나의 올스타 팀인 H2o와 함께 한 ‘Go! Go! Go!’는 지금까지도 이야기 되는 명곡으로 댄스 가수가 아닌 스튜디오 뮤지션인 이현도의 모습을 보여준다. Jazzy한 필링의 ‘또 하나의 슬픔’은 그의 음악적 스펙트럼이 다른 뮤지션들에 비해 넓다는 것을 여실히 증명해주는 곡. ‘빗속에서’, ‘그때’는 대중을 의식한 흔적이 보이는 발라드들인데 데뷔작에 비해서 장족의 사운드 발전을 보여준다. '우리는’은 어두운 두 남자라는 듀스의 이미지를 완성한 파워풀한 댄스 넘버이며 후배 힙합퍼들이 즐겨 트리뷰트한 ‘약한 남자’와 같이 재치 있는 가사도 발견된다. Force Deux 사운드의 전초격인 발라드 '너만을 위한 나'는 숨겨진 명곡이다. 이 앨범의 연타석 성공으로 듀스는 일약 주목받기 시작하고 음악적으로도 인정받기 시작한다.

    Comment :  이것은 당시 국내에서 생소했던 리믹스 앨범이다. 신곡들도 적재적소에 배치되어 있는데 ‘Time 2 Wreck’은 가사의 3분의 2가 영어로 당시로선 꽤나 실험적(?)이라고 할 수 있는 노래고 ‘영원의 노래’는 다시 한 번 이현도식 발라드인데 좀 지루한 느낌이 든다. 본인도 가장 행복한 순간 이였다고 기억하는 ‘여름 안에서’는 시간을 초월한 멜로디를 담아내고 있다. 연이어 성공을 거두던 외적인 모습과는 별개로 당시 이들은 금전적인 문제와 소속사의 압박 등 20대 초반의 나이로 버텨내기에 힘든 일들이 너무나 많았고 다음 앨범을 마지막으로 3년간의 짧은 비상을 마치기로 결정한다.

    Comment :  이현도 사운드의 절정으로 90년대 최고의 명반들 중 하나. 간혹 이 앨범이 가사적인 면에서 발전이 없었다고 비난하는 분들도 있는데 사실 그건 맞는 말이지만 (Go! Go! Go!의 구성을 능가하는 트랙은 없다) 그것보단 사운드에 초점을 맞추고 들으라 말해주고 싶다. 이들의 드럼 사운드는 지금 활동하는 댄스 그룹들에 비해서 전혀 뒤지지 않고 고차원적인데 멋진 음색의 Hi-Hat과 한 박자 안에서도 쉴 새 없이 변화하는 톤의 Snare는 정말이지 완벽하다. 편곡적인 면에서도 최고의 기량을 보여주고 있다. ‘反芻’나 ‘In The Mood'와 같이 짜임새 있는 노래들을 들어보면 그가 얼마나 음악적으로 고심했는지 보이는 듯하다. 멜로디적인 측면에서도 ‘사랑하는 이에게’같은 킬링 트랙도 있고, ‘굴레를 벗어나’, ‘상처’, ‘儀式混亂’과 같이 뛰어난 Groove를 지닌 곡들도 즐비하며, 룰라를 연상시키는 'Nothing But A Party'와 같은 노래는 여전히 독창적인 사운드이고, 대중적인 면에서 전작들의 발라드를 계승하는 ‘다투고 난 뒤’는 보코더의 활용이 뛰어난 명곡이고 ‘이제 웃으며 일어나’는 누구나 즐겨 부를만한 팝댄스곡이다. 이 앨범은 판매량 100만장을 넘었으며 현재 이들의 위상을 완성해준 걸작이다.

    김성재 / 1집-말하자면
    Comment :  이 앨범이 특히 안타까운 이유는 향후 듀스 멤버들이 보여줄 수 있었던 새로운 활동 패턴의(이현도는 곡을 써주고 김성재는 노래를 하고) 종말이나 이현도 음악인생 캐리어의 하양지점의 시작을 차지하기 때문이 아닐까. 곡들은 그룹 시절보다 듣기 편안하면서도 내적으론 날이 잔뜩 서있는 기름진 모습이다. 물론 ‘죽어서’라고 우긴다면 할 말은 더 이상 없지만 당시 나이 40대 후반의 우리 어머니 차에도 테이프가 있었을 정도로 듀스관련 모든 디스코그래피를 통틀어서 대중적으로 가장 높은 인기를 누렸던 앨범이기도 하다.

    이현도 / DO 이현도 DOIT / 사자후
    Comment :  김성재의 갑작스런 사망으로 조금은 뜬금없다는 느낌까지 드는 이현도의 솔로 데뷔작. 이 앨범에서부터 음악적, 외적인 안티들이 생기기 시작했는데 N모 인디 밴드의 기타리스트는 ‘적의’를 가지고 "이현도 입장에선 충분히 하드코어적이지 않을까, 국내에서 음악하는 사람들이 너무 제대로 하면 그것도 웃길 것 같다"라고 하기도 했고, ‘성재를 위한 고요함’은 지나친 오버라는 소리도 들었다. 물론 타이틀곡 ‘사자후’가 싱글로서 절대 떨어지지 않는 곡임은 확실하여서 앨범을 수렁에서 건져냈지만 모든 것들을 감안해도 김성재의 부재가 아쉽다는 느낌이 떠나지 않는 게 사실이다.

    Comment :  해체와 소속사에서 멋대로 발표한 앨범들, 김성재의 어이없는 죽음이후 이현도가 마지막 음반이라고 공언하고 만들어낸 베스트 앨범. 듀스의 곡들은 물론이고 김성재의 대히트 싱글 ‘말하자면’이나 이현도 솔로 1집의 노래도 들어있어서 말 그대로 초심자에겐 최고의 선택이다. 거의 전곡에 걸쳐 조금씩 손을 봤는데 예를 들면 ‘알고 있었어’는 원곡엔 없는 기타가 들어가 있고, ‘여름 안에서’에선 뒷부분을 페이드아웃 다시 인 시키며 라이브 앨범 버전과 이어놓았다. ‘친구에게’는 라이브 버전으로 실려 있으며, 당시 김성재의 목소리를 컴퓨터로 합성해서 화제가 됐던 신곡 ‘사랑, 두려움’은 마지막답지 않게 이들 특유의 어둡고 강인한 이미지의 노래다.

    Comment :  양현석과 이현도의 합작이라는 것 자체로 대단한 화제였지만 예상외로 훌륭한 내용물을 담고 있어서 지금까지도 명반으로 꼽히는 지누션의 데뷔작. 걸출하다고 말하긴 뭐하지만 나름 괜찮은 스타일을 가진 Perry라는 작곡가를 소개하기도 했고, 무엇보다 ‘Gasoline'이 양현석 작곡이라는 사실은 굉장히 놀랍다. ‘말해죠’, ‘미행’과 같은 노래들은 몸 흔들기 딱 좋으면서 음악적으로도 떨어지지 않는 뛰어난 곡들이고, ‘Celebrate’의 English Version은 미국의 팝송처럼 정말 훌륭하다. 하지만 지누와 션이 노래와 랩을 썩 잘하는 편이 아니라 한계가 보이기도 하고, 이 앨범을 계기로 금전적 이득보다 이미지가 나빠졌음을 상기해 본다면, 이현도 본인에게는 득보단 독이 됐던 작업이 아닐런지.

    Comment :  솔로 데뷔작까지가 듀스 시절의 연장선상적인 음악을 보여준 1기라면 조금은 다른 분위기로 무장하고 돌아온 2집은 그의 새로운 시작이었다. 처음으로 대중적 참패를 맛보기도 했는데 그 원인으론 강력한 훅이 있는 곡이 없고 앨범 전체의 분위기가 너무 무겁다는 외적인 이유에 중심이 많이 쏠리지만, 이현도의 보컬이 본인이 작곡한 노래들 안에서도 도저히 제대로 조화가 이루어지지 않을 정도로 별로여서 듣는 내내 감상자를 답답하게 만든다는데 근본적인 이유가 있다. 그것은 숨겨진 명곡으로 꼽히는 ‘불의춤’, ‘The Accorade’와 같은 트랙들이 (물론 사운드도 제대로지만) 보컬이 안 들어간 순수 100% 랩으로 이루어진 것으로도 증명된다.

    이현도 / D.O FUNK / 폭풍
    Comment :  한상원과의 조인트 앨범으로 당시 엄청난 기대를 모았지만 결과는? 역시 절반의 성공으로 끝나고 말았다. 우리나라에서 어느 정도 성공한 뮤지션들은 뭐 하나 새롭게 한다고 해도 대중성(=발라드)에 집착을 하여 그게 앨범의 통일성을 해치면서, 결과적으로 완성도를 마구마구 떨어뜨리는 경향이 상당히 심한데, 이현도 역시 그 딜레마에서 벗어나질 못했다. 특히 ‘영원히’와 같은 곡은 전혀 Funky하지도 않을뿐더러 무지하게 재미없다. 중간적인 결과물을 원했다면 ‘Boogie Night'나 '왜?’정도에서 끝내는 게 좋았을 것을.

    이현도 / 완전HIP HOP
    Comment :  ‘이현도’하면 언제나 따라다니는 것이 뛰어난 사운드 making에 비해 랩이 안 된다는 것인데 이 앨범에서부터 화려한 Featuring진을 통하여 그것을 벗어나려 한 것이 보인다. 노장의 부활? 처음 본격적인 힙합으로 돌아온다고 했을 때 ‘그동안의 부진을 씻으려 극약처방을 내린 것이 아닌가’란 우려도 들었지만 확실히 그의 작품은 국내 다른 힙합 앨범들과 무엇인가가 틀리다. 곡 하나하나의 아이디어도 뛰어나고 비트도 알차다. 특히 ‘黑熱歌’는 당시 열렬한 극찬을 받았던 노래로 지금 들어도 전혀 떨어지지가 않는다. (뭐 듀스 시절도 마찬가지지만) 아쉬운 점이라면 이 앨범에서 아예 작정하고 키워준 진원과의 대립으로, 음악보다 또 한번 그의 인간적인 치부만 화제가 됐다는 점.

    여러 아티스트 / The New Classik And You Don’t Stop
    Comment :  完全Hip-Hop으로부터 4년이란 세월이 흘렀다. 먼젓번에는 한국에서 시기상조라 하더니 이번엔 어설픈 외국 흉내 내기란다. 리스너들은 귀만 점점 발전할 뿐, 국내에서 이 정도라도 할 수 있는 사람이 극히 드물다는 것을 모른다. 본인의 얘기에 의하면 해외에서 유행하는 스타일을 국내에 소개하며 거기에 발전한 후배 랩퍼들의 스킬을 조합하려는 의도로 탄생했다 한다. 다른 가수가 아닌 이현도기에 뭔가 새로운 스타일의 창조가 아닌 단순소개라는 것이 아쉽긴 하지만 그가 90년대 초반의 뮤지션이고 듀스에서 보여줬던 음악들로 신에서 자신의 사명을 다 했다는 것을 상기해 본다면 기대는 가지되 더 이상 매달리진 말자. 무엇보다도 참여자들의 색깔에 따라 각양각색 스타일의 곡들이 섞여있는데도 들으면 바로 이현도 작곡이라는 것을 알 수 있다는 점은 그도 자신만의 소리를 가진 장인의 경지에 오른 사람이라는 게 증명되지 않는지. 많은 사람들이 여기가 미국도 영국도, 그렇다고 일본도 아닌 한국이라는 사실을 너무 쉽게 잊고 산다.

    * 신해철 (신해철)

    아티스트사진
    한국 가요사에 적지않은 영향을 끼쳤던 신해철은 68년 5월 6일 부산 출생이다. 이후 공일오비를 이끌게되는 정석원과 함께 무한궤도를 결성, 88년 '그대에게'로 대학가요제 대상을 수상하며 프로 세계로의 길을 튼 그는 [우리 앞의 생이 끝나갈 때]를 끝으로 밴드를 접고 솔로로 전향한다. 신해철을 가장 유명하게 해준 두 앨범 [슬픈 표정 하지 말아요][Myself]로 일약 대한민국 최고의 뮤지션으로 승격된 후 넥스트를 결성하며 그동안 가슴 한구석에 품고 있었던 밴드생활에 대한 미련을 드러낸다. '인형의 기사', '도시인'등을 히트시킨 [Home]으로 데뷔해 04년 [개한민국]까지 밴드를 유지해오면서 영화음악과 솔로앨범, 그리고 사이드 프로젝트까지 병행하는 정력을 과시한 그는 남궁연이 감독한 단편작 '거짓말폭탄'과 MBC 시트콤 '안녕 프란체스카'등에 출연하면서 연기자로서의 끼까지 발산한 바 있다. 그 외 라디오DJ, 자유기고가, 방송토론에서도 그의 탁월한 재능은 아낌없이 발휘되었으니 신해철이야말로 쉽게 남용되고 있는 '만능 엔터테이너'의 전형이라 할 만하다. 02년 96년 미스코리아 뉴욕 진 출신의 윤원희와 백년가약을 맺었고 취미는 만화책과 전자오락, 특기는 요리라고 밝히고 있다. 특별히 친분있는 뮤지션들론 유희열, 윤상, 김동률, 남궁연등이 유명하다. / 김성대 ⓒ changgo.com

    * N.EX.T (넥스트)

    아티스트사진
    락밴드 넥스트는 무한궤도에서 솔로로 전향한 신해철(보컬)을 중심으로 정기송이 기타를 잡고 드럼에 이동규가 앉으며(베이스는 정식 멤버를 영입 하지 않음.) 92년 결성되었다. 데뷔작 [Home]으로 한국 락계에 큰 반향을 일으킨 후 정기송이 돌연 탈퇴를 선언하고 임창수(기타)와 이수용(드럼)이 영입되어(이동규는 드럼에서 베이스로 포지션 변경.) 2집 [The Return Of N.EX.T Part 1]이 발매된다. 이 앨범은 하드한 '이중인격자'와 신해철식 감성이 발휘된 'The Dreamer', '날아라 병아리'등을 히트시키며 나름대로 1집의 아성을 이어나갔다. 하지만 불안한 라인업은 지속되어 이번엔 임창수와 이동규가 탈퇴하고 김세황(기타)과 김영석(베이스)이 가세, 3집 [The Return Of Next Part 2 - World]를 위한 새로운 라인업이 갖춰지는데 음악적으론 좋은 평가를 받았으나 대중적으론 1, 2집의 성공에 미치지 못하여 '힘겨워 하는 연인들을 위하여'와 'Money'정도를 히트시키고 밴드는 2년의 공백기를 갖는다. 親한국적 발라드 싱글 [Here I Stand For You]로 화려하게 복귀한 넥스트는 애니메이션 '영혼기병 라젠카'의 OST이자 네 번째 정규작인 [Lazenca- A Space Rock Opera]를 마저 발매하며 골수팬들의 성원에 보답하지만 곪아있던 밴드내 갈등이 불거지면서 신해철을 제외한 나머지 멤버들이 전원 탈퇴하는 상황이 발생한다. 신해철을 등진 세 명은 해체 상태였던 패닉김진표를 프론트맨으로 영입해 노바소닉을 결성하면서 넥스트는 사실상 공중분해되고 만다. 한편 신해철은 자신의 솔로작 [Monocrom]을 발매한 후 음악외 타 분야에 눈을 돌려 종횡무진 활약을 펼쳤고 넥스트는 수 년후를 기약하며 긴 침묵에 돌입하게 된다. 04년, 언제나 넥스트의 재결성을 염두에 두고 있었던 신해철은 좀 더 젊은 피를 수혈(데빈(기타), 쌩(베이스), 김동혁(키보드, 기타), 쭈니(드럼))하여 밴드를 부활시켜 대한민국의 사회적 그늘을 사정없이 후벼판 컨셉 앨범 [개한민국]을 내놓고 팬들 사이에 논쟁을 조장한 바 있다.
