Nyob rau hauv kev sib tham tsis tshua muaj, Seatbelts frontwoman tham ua haujlwm nrog Bebop tus tsim Shinichirō Watanabe thiab dab tsi nyob-cuam suab ntawm intergalactic jazz soundtrack yog tiag tiag li

Puas yog lo lus “1, 2, 3… Cia Jam!” thawj zaug flashed rau cov ntxaij vab tshaus, Shinichirō Watanabe's 1998 hit show Cowboy Bebop tau txaus siab rau cov neeg tuaj saib thoob ntiaj teb. Cov yeeb yaj kiab, hais txog lub neej ntawm qhov chaw cowboy Spike Spiegel thiab nws pawg neeg tsis txaus ntseeg ntawm cov neeg yos hav zoov tsis zoo, yog lub suab paj nruag los ntawm cosmos, sib txuas cov ntsiab lus ntawm qhov chaw ua yeeb yam, spaghetti sab hnub poob, zaj duab xis noir, thiab kung fu flick, kom muaj txiaj ntsig zoo. Nws cov suab paj nruag tau tseem yog ib qho ntawm cov nyiam tshaj plaws thiab ua kev zoo siab thawj cov qhab nia anime puas tau ua.

Zoo li qhov yeeb yam nws tus kheej, lub suab seev txav mus los ntawm ntau hom. Cov ntsiab lus ntawm lub teb chaws, kev nyuaj siab, thiab kev lom zem orbit, nyob rau hauv lub ntiaj teb zam, nyob ib ncig ntawm ib tug recurrent jazz kab, ua ib tug bombastic backdrop rau high-ceev chases, galactic feuds, thiab tsis ncaj tsoom fwv cov phiaj xwm. Cov qhab nia yog tsim los ntawm Yoko Kanno, tus thawj coj tom qab Ghost in the Plhaub: Stand Alone Complex thiab Lub Zeem Muag ntawm Escaflowne, thiab ua los ntawm Seatbelts, ib pab pawg neeg ntaus suab paj nruag uas Kanno muab tso ua ke rau lub hom phiaj ntawm kev ua yeeb yam. Nws yog bonanza ntawm lub suab uas thawb ntawm ciam teb ntawm anime cov qhab nia - los ntawm samba-inspired qhib lub ntsiab "Tank!" (3, 2, 1, cia peb jam) rau high-octane ballad "The Real Folk Blues" tshaj qhov kawg credits. Lub suab paj nruag xav tias dawb thiab improvised, ib yam li taug txuj kev nyuaj los ntawm qhov chaw ntawm lub nkoj interstellar.

"Kuv thawj zaug ntsib Watanabe thaum ua haujlwm ntawm Macross Plus," Kanno qhia kuv, hais txog tus thawj coj xyoo 1995 mini-series txog kev sib cav sib ceg ntawm cov phooj ywg. "Nws nug kuv tias, 'Kuv xav ua qhov no (Cowboy Bebop) jazz-oriented. Koj puas tuaj yeem ua nws ua haujlwm tau?’ Kuv cov lus teb rov qab yog, 'Kuv xav tias kuv tuaj yeem, tab sis kuv tsis xav tias nws yuav muag.'

Lub improvisatory, nteg rov qab tus ntsuj plig ntawm jazz - lossis ntau dua precisely bebop, 1940s strain of jazz characterized by its high tempo and complex chords - pervades every nam of the show: Spike's motto is "txhua yam tshwm sim, tshwm sim", ntawm chav kawm. Cov ntu raug xa mus raws li cov kev sib tham - xws li hauv, jazz zaug - thiab muaj cov npe haum zoo li "Asteroid Blues" thiab "Cowboy Funk". Raws li Watanabe piav qhia hauv Rose Bridges 'Yoko Kanno's Cowboy Bebop Soundtrack: “Hauv bebop, cov neeg ua si pov cov qhab nia thiab ua si dawb. Lawv xav qhia lawv tus kheej dawb thiab pib improvise ntau. Kuv hwm thiab nyiam zaj nkauj ntawd. Cov cim ntawm Cowboy Bebop zoo li cov kws ntaus suab paj nruag: lawv muaj kev ywj pheej, thiab kuv xav kom lawv ua txoj hauv kev tsis zoo."

Hauv nws phau ntawv Blue Nippon, E. Taylor Atkins piav qhia lub luag haujlwm ntawm bebop hauv keeb kwm ntawm Japanese jazz tom qab tsov rog. Nws sau tseg txog kev cuam tshuam ntawm bebop "raws li 'kos duab suab paj nruag' rau cov neeg tuaj saib kev txawj ntse ntau dua", thiab tshawb txog nws qhov cuam tshuam rau cov tub ntxhais hluas kab lis kev cai. Lub suab, Atkins piav qhia, hloov chaw ua las voos, "thiab (muab) yug rau swanky coffeehouses thiab tom qab-teev dhia dej uas muaj ob peb lossis ib qho kev ua tsov rog ua ntej."

"Kuv xaiv los tsim cov suab paj nruag no ntseeg tias tib neeg txoj kev xav hauv lawv lub neej txhua hnub yuav zoo ib yam yav tom ntej, txawm tias nyob rau sab nraud" - Yoko Kanno

Kanno's soundtrack tsis tau txais qhov tseeb bebop aesthetic, tab sis khaws cia qhov kev xav ntawm tus kheej lub hom phiaj yog paub. Cov suab tau kaw nyob, hauv ib lossis ob peb zaug. Lawv xav tias tshiab thiab muaj tseeb, ua rau lub neej muaj kua dej, kev txav txav tiag tiag uas Bebop tau lees paub rau. "Cov nkauj no yuav tsum tau kaw thaum tsis pom cov duab ntawm kev ua yeeb yaj kiab tsis tau muaj, yog li kuv tsis tau sau cov nkauj rau sab nrog zaj duab xis," nws piav qhia, "dua li, zaj duab xis hloov nws tus kheej mus rau suab paj nruag". "Lub Tank!", cov yeeb yam tsis tuaj yeem qhib qhov ua tau zoo, yog thawj zaug tsim los ua suab paj nruag keeb kwm yav dhau los rau kev sib ntaus sib tua, thaum "The Real Folk Blues", J-pob zeb ballad, thiab ib qho ntawm ob peb kab ntawm OST kom muaj suab npe, tau npaj ua ib zaj nkauj hauv kev ua si. "Txawm hais tias kuv thawj zaug tau hais tawm tsam nws lub tswv yim (Watanabe), kuv zoo siab tias ob zaj nkauj no tau lees paub tias yog lub ntsej muag ntawm Cowboy Bebop rau ntau tus."

Lub suab paj nruag siv kev nyuaj siab thiab jazz hauv txoj kev tshiab dynamic: qhov piv txwv pom tseeb tshaj plaws yog cov yeeb yam sib ntaus sib tua. Watanabe eschews qhov raug orchestral lossis pob zeb nyuaj cuam tshuam nrog kev txiav txim siab ntawm kev npaj loj. "Rau Watanabe, bebop qhia txog kev ywj pheej," sau Bridges. "Nws txuas nrog rau ib hom ntawv piav qhia vim li cas nws yuav cuam tshuam nrog cov xwm txheej uas cov cim tso tawm ntawm lawv tus kheej thiab ua 'dawb'."

Ntawm "Rush", ib pawg brassy rip-roars nws txoj hauv kev los ntawm kev sib tsoo nrog cov tsiaj qus tso tseg. Nws complements lub soaring meteoroids thiab revving spaceships. "Piano Black" yog tus lej jazz frenetic, qhov twg saxophone solos meander rov qab mus rau lub ntsiab piano motif, zoo li gravitational rub. Kev sib xyaw ua ke ntawm noodle tooj dag seem thiab intergalactic chaw tshaj tawm txoj moo zoo yog innately absurd, nco txog cov bebop improvisations thaum ntxov ntawm Charlie Parker thiab Thelonious Monk. Muaj ib qho kev lom zem uas hais txog tus ntsuj plig ntawm kev ua yeeb yam.

"Kuv xav tias Spike tus cwj pwm - tinged nrog huab cua ntawm qhov tsis txaus ntseeg, nyob deb ntawm lub ntiaj teb, thiab mus rau qhov kev puas tsuaj - mus zoo nrog lub suab jazz" - Yoko Kanno

Ntawm nws cov kev sib ntaus sib tua uas ntxim nyiam, cov ntsiab lus cuam tshuam nrog kev hloov kho thev naus laus zis super clowns, thiab cov thawj coj kev cai dab qhuas, Cowboy Bebop ib txwm hnov txog tib neeg. Cov cim nyob rau hauv Bebop yog tag nrho cov tawm tsam nrog kev xav ntawm kev poob thiab alienation. Spike poob nws txoj kev hlub (thiab ze li ntawm nws lub neej) mus rau kev ua txhaum cai hauv av, thaum Jet, ib tug qub tswv cuab ntawm Inter-Solar System Tub Ceev Xwm, poob nws txhais caj npab rau mafia, thiab Faye muaj mob amnesia. Lawv ncua sij hawm, haus dej ntau dhau, thiab haus luam yeeb tu siab. Lawv sim, ua tsis tiav, khiav tawm ntawm lawv yav dhau los, thaum tseem cuam tshuam los ntawm lawv.

"Kuv xav tias Spike tus cwj pwm - tinged nrog huab cua ntawm elusiveness, nyob deb ntawm lub ntiaj teb no, thiab mus rau verge ntawm kev puas tsuaj - mus zoo nrog lub suab jazz," pom zoo Kanno. Nws piav qhia txog yuav ua li cas "kev lom zem, ntsuj plig, thiab kev nyuaj siab haum rau lub halo ntawm kev tuag thiab kev tsis txaus ntseeg ntawm cov antagonists". "Kuv tau xaiv los tsim cov suab paj nruag no ntseeg tias tib neeg txoj kev xav hauv lawv lub neej txhua hnub yuav zoo ib yam yav tom ntej, txawm tias nyob rau sab nraud," nws piav qhia.

Kanno cov suab paj nruag, zoo li txoj hauv kev orbital, coj cov neeg saib los ntawm Bebop lub hnub ci loj thiab rau hauv lub siab ntawm cov cim uas nyob hauv nws. Los ntawm thawj zaug trumpet parps nyob rau hauv cov qhab nia qhib, lub suab paj nruag yog kev ua-packed thiab dynamic, evoking qhov xwm txheej, kev lim hiam, thiab nteg rov qab ntxim nyiam uas characterizes Spike li al thiab lawv lub neej bittersweet. Kanno's soundtrack yuav tsis muaj qhov tsis ntseeg los ua ib qho tseem ceeb hauv kev ua neej nyob hloov pauv, ua yeeb yam John Cho li Spike, xyoo tom ntej. Tab sis txog thaum ntawd, pom koj tom qab, chaw cowboy.
