Crow Hill 自豪地向您介绍屡获提名的歌手、词曲作者与作曲家——Dot Allison——那柔和动人的嗓音。
在她备受尊敬的职业生涯中,Dot 一直是顶级艺人、乐团与作曲家的热门合作对象——从 Massive AttackPaul WellerScott Walker——他们都邀请她那“如蜜般甜美的声音”加入作品,不仅以歌唱之姿,更让她的声音本身成为一种独立的乐器。如今,您终于有机会在自己的创作中加入这罕见而独特的声音色彩。

反主流文化时代电影配乐中的关键元素

是什么让上世纪六〇至七〇年代之交的暴力警探片、悬疑谋杀惊悚片与恐怖片在氛围上产生共鸣?
那就是——柔声吟唱的女性独唱。她们并非在演唱歌曲,而是以纯净无词的音色成为音乐的一部分。
这种手法成为 Dot 作为作曲家的重要灵感来源——源自反主流文化电影黄金时期三部看似毫无关联、却同样具有锋芒与黑色气质的作品。那是一个音乐逐渐摆脱传统配乐模式的年代,作曲家们开始尝试超现实音色、电子音效、爵士、放克及非“西方”乐器的融合与实验。

Lalo SchifrinDon Siegel 的《肮脏的哈里(Dirty Harry)》创作的划时代配乐,以那遥远而幽灵般的女性独唱声,衬托出暴力与追逐的故事。

Alan J. Pakula 的经典“偏执三部曲”之一《克鲁特(Klute)》中,作曲家 Michael Small微分音马林巴诡异的女声混合,制造出令人不安的迷离感。

而在那个年代的所有影片中,波兰斯基(Roman Polanski) 的《罗斯玛丽的婴儿(Rosemary’s Baby)》或许最具代表性——由女主角 Mia Farrow 亲自哼唱的无词摇篮曲,从影片开场便带来彻骨的寒意。

Crow Hill is proud to introduce you to the dulcet tones of award-nominated singer, song-writer and composer Dot Allison. Throughout her esteemed career she has been in huge demand by AAA artists, acts and composers as diverse as Massive Attack, Paul Weller, and Scott Walker to lend her “voice like honey” not only in song but as an instrument of its very own. Here now for the first time is a unique opportunity to add this rare voice to your palette.

A key ingredient of subversive film scores of the counter-culture era.

What zeitgeist elements unify a violent cop caper, murder suspense thriller, murder suspense thriller and chilling horror film from the late sixties/early seventies? Well its the use of softly sung solitary female voices. Not in song, but just the pure innocent tone as an instrument. These scores became key influences on Dot’s work as a composer are three seemingly unconnected edgy noir-ish films from the heyday of maverick film-making in the counter-culture era. But also an era where scores branched away from established musical tropes, experimenting with use of hyper-realistic instruments and effects, electronics, jazz, funk and non ‘western’ instrumentation.​

Lalo Schifrin’s era-defining score for Don Siegal’s hyper masculine DIRTY HARRY offset this story of violence and pursuit with the ghostly tones of a distant solitary female vocal.

Part of Alan J Pakula’s seminal “paranoia trilogy” KLUTE has a standout score by Michael Small. That mixes use of microtonal marimbas combined with an eerie female vocal to add to the sense of confusion.

Of all of the films of this era Polanski’s ROSEMARY’S BABY enjoys the most famous use of female vocals. Sung by the lead Mia Farrow, a lyricless lullaby that chills you to the bone from the outset.
