Для того чтобы учиться ценить хорошую музыку надо сперва перестать захламлять себя всем тем мусором, который валится на нас из радио, “модных” телеканалов вроде Hit TV и MTV, а также журналов вроде The Rolling Stone, Billboard или хипстерского авторитета - Pitchfork Media.

К сожалению, 98% всего того, что преподносится в этих источниках как хорошая музыка, является попсой. Надо понимать, что музыкальная индустрия – это большой бизнес и большой маркетинг, который никогда не станет вкладывать ресурсы в продвижение рискованной не-попсы.

Вместо этого, обращать внимание надо на мнения независимых и эрудированных (а это значит, нехипстерских) экспертов.

Из всех критиков, я считаю энтузиаста по “собирательству знаний” Пьеро Скаруффи наиболее эрудированным и независимым в части музыки (хотя я и не согласен с его политическими взглядами и считаю его “историю знаний” претенциозной и поверхностной). Рейтинги музыкальных записей рок, джаз и академической музыки согласно Скаруффи можно найти в интернете по следующим ссылкам:

Примечание: интересный анализ попсовой сущности Битлов тут: http://www.scaruffi.com/vol1/beatles.html

Знать больше о музыке можно со специализированных тематических сайтов (например, http://www.avantgardeproject.org/ для современной академической музыки, http://www.rockanet.ru/100/ для советского рока) или сайтов хороших музыкальных издательств (например, http://www.harmonies.com/ и http://www.harmoniamundi.com/).

Мой собственный опыт, а именно, более 10 лет целенаправленного изучения самой разной музыки и более пяти тысяч накопленных альбомов, позволяет мне сформировать свой собственный список альбомов, которые я считаю работами Культуры по критериям формального совершенства и силы эмоционального заряда. Мой список представлен ниже. Прошу учесть, что он далеко не полный и, конечно же, субъективный (мой фокус в основном на “экспериментальной” рок музыке 1970-х и “традиционной” музыке народов мира), но я думаю, он может послужить введением в собственный поиск читателя.

Примечание: Записи различных стилей распределены по географическому принципу, перед дефисом дано имя исполнителя, после – название альбома. В скобках указан год записи. Практически ничего из моего списка нельзя купить в сети “Меломан”. Большинство этих альбомов можно бесплатно скачать в lossless формате с.

На контрасте с широкодоступной компьютерной анимацией последних лет, интересными кажутся более “рукодельные” работы центрально-европейских аниматоров, таких как Jan Svankmajer, Jozsef Gemes, Karel Zeman, Kovasznai Gyorgy, Marcell Jankovics. Сборник мастеров советской анимации Masters Of Russian Animation vol 1-4 также представляет интерес.


Читать

Я благодарен миру за то, что я смог получить, что называется, “элитное” образование. Этим эссе я хотел бы поделиться частичкой этого образования с читателями.

Школу я закончил в Скандинавии, где я учился в северном оазисе из фьордов и лесов с детьми из 80-ти стран мира. Там я мог рисовать, лепить из глины, кататься на каное, изучать математику, и учиться писать на английском. Бакалавриат я получил в одном из уютных университетов Лиги Плюща в Америке. Позже, я также приобрел навык обслуживать международный капитал в одной из ведущих международных бизнес школ в Европе. Во всех трех местах я много узнал и был счастлив, но так же был и несчастен из-за тирании идеологии.

В одном из самых счастливых мной воспоминаний о времени ученичества в Америке я вижу стеллажи книг в библиотеке гуманитарных и социальных наук моего университета, где я подрабатывал по 7 долларов США за час и куда я приходил проводить свой досуг. Там лежали десятки, а то и сотни тысяч книг, которые своей массой, разнообразием, древним и новым запахом напоминали о великом многообразии и глубине мира. Натыкаясь на какую-нибудь редкую книгу на непонятную мне тему, я в который раз удостоверялся, что в обыденной, насыщенной мимолетной модностью и идеологической конъектурой жизни, мы осознаем лишь малую часть того, что можно и нужно знать о мире.

Я понял, что мир обыденной жизни ограничен и беден, тогда как мир, открываемый библиотекой – необъятен и богат. Я влюбился в библиотеки, ведь они оберегают и защищают наше воображение, и наш человеческий потенциал (иметь богатый мир у себя в голове означает иметь широкую палитру доступных действий в жизни – становишься свободнее). Я решил воссоздать эффект богатой библиотеки у себя дома.

В этой секции моего эссе, я поделюсь с читателем планом той библиотеке, которую я хочу собрать. Я прочитал недавно, что наличие в доме как минимум 500 книг значительно повышают способность ребенка, растущего в этом доме, к обучению. Иметь более 500 книг уже не имеет маржинального эффекта (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/05/100520213116.htm). Поэтому, думаю о себе и о своем потомстве, я составил книжный “канон” из чуть более 500 книг. Некоторые из них я уже прочитал, но большинство я лишь жажду прочитать.

Я старался выбирать книги по принципу их исторической значимости для развития культуры и науки (Лукреций, Маркс, Поппер и т.д.), актуальности ключевым проблемам современности (будущее капитализма, наука о мозге, Singularity и т.д.), необычности темы (манускрипт Войнича, почему вымерли альтернативные нам неандертальцы) и общей полезности в развитии критического мышления. В составлении моего списка я учитывал мнения экспертов и энтузиастов из интернета, но также и пытался включить рекомендуемые книги из программ курсов ведущих мировых университетов.

Я планировал сделать мой список максимально широким и разнообразным, но надо признать, что это у меня не совсем получилось. Человек – это существо ограниченное, и я не исключение. Я не стал включать в мой список те книги, которые мне лично много нового не несут или те книги, которые мне недоступны (доступность значит, что книгу можно купить, она издана на русском или английском языке, и я могу понять ее тему). Например, в моем списке почти нет книг по искусству (так получилось, что мой дом уже и так имеет достаточное их количество) или по точным наукам (к сожалению, моего образования не хватает, чтобы сделать их для меня интересными, хоть я и стараюсь преодолеть эту слабость в себе). Также, хотя и я допускаю, что романы Александра Дюма, Иоганна Вольфганга Гете, Льва Толстого или Эрнеста Хэмингуэя обязаны быть признаны каноническими, лично меня они не стимулируют (видимо потому что у себя в доме я их и так вижу на полках). Я старался по минимуму и только когда это необходимо для лучшего понимания сегодняшнего мира, включать книги, которые бы повторяли существующие идеологические догмы (например, Айн Рэнд; хотя Милтона Фридман я, в качестве примера, оставлю), потому что эти догмы и так насыщают нашу жизнь.

Примечание: К сожалению, мы живем в эпоху самой масштабной идеологической “промывки мозгов”, которая когда-либо была в истории человечества - новые “темные века”. Именно потому, что сегодня стал возможен тотальный и глобальный идеологический контроль над мыслями и желаниями людей, существует реальная опасность потерять способность критически воспринимать насаждаемую в нас “очевидность”. Чтобы страшный мир, показанный в фантастическом фильме “Матрица”, не стал для нас правдой, способность к сомнению не угасла безвозвратно, а люди, верящие в правду вне идеологии, не считались автоматически безумцами, я “рассеял” в своем списке знаковые книги критической традиции.

Книги указаны в алфавитном порядке (по названию книги) и не категорированы в целях пробуждения любопытства.

Пьеро Скаруффи отличился и здесь:

Мы не знаем, как ментальное связано с физическим, мы не понимаем, как сложные явления возникают из простых, мы не знаем, как зародилась жизнь, у нас единой физической теории мира, и мы не знаем каким будет общественное устройство планеты после того, как сказка про “конец истории” окончательно себя исчерпала. Когда мир так интересен, зачем, спрашивается, нам нужен этот скучный хипстер?
