bjork的【忘年交】

若论90年代的【奢侈音乐】&【社会主义大家庭音乐】，当推生于英国，活在伦敦的bjork。

bjork前三张专辑的制作阵容，大抵上在情理之中。808 state，nellee hooper，mark bell等皆是同圈中人，更别提howie b和tricky先后是bjork的男朋友，惟独一个名字突兀非常：一代编曲名师——eumir deodato。

60年代末，eumir deodato离开家乡巴西，来到纽约，之后便是历史与传奇。他与creed taylor创建CTI。。。。。。其辉煌其经典,不必赘述。

1995年，bjork出版《post》，eumir deodato在【isobel】中担任string arrangement。到《homogenic》，eumir deodato可谓挑大料，接全盘，以弦乐惊艳圈内明眼人&圈外糊涂汉（好音乐便是通吃深浅）。按道理八竿子打不到的两个人为何会在95年成为partner？这一疑问导致我n年来一直关注deodato的采访，终到今年初才在一片长篇访谈中得到答案：

I was never the guy to be calling people, not to this day. They usually find out what I had done and if they really want me to do something for them or with them, I always will be available. But my whole idea, to me the number one thing, is quality. First thing I think is quality. I don’t care what you do, I think it should be very good and it should be very different. That will call the attention of other people: “Hey man, that’s great. What is that?” And I believe in that firmly, just by looking here (looks on his list with production / arranging credits). I got a call once, I was already living in New York for many years, I’ve been to New York for a long time, but I get calls for things that I did a long time ago, not knowing that that thing would eventually some day caught the eye of somebody, which was the case with Björk. I worked with Björk for about four years, I did a bunch of stuff for her. Why? From a stupid little arrangement that I did for Milton Nascimento for the Rio de Janeiro International Music Festival. She found the record. The record never really came out in Brazil or the States, it came out in France. She got that record in France, I didn’t even know that record. “Can I hear…?” She played me the record (mimicks holding a phone). “Yeah, I did that.” So you never know. But the quality is there, I can guarantee you that.

用【风中奇缘】形容这段忘年相识过程，一点不肉麻，一点不过分。

我有品质，自然有人看中我。如今这个只夸张只谄媚【一人写词一人作曲一人演唱一人制作一人做事一人当】的音乐圈会在乎deodato口中的 quality一词吗？

quality诚可贵，独立价更高，若为装逼故，两者皆可抛。
