Poetry Nearing Silence

朱利安-安德森（Julian Anderson）1997 年創作的《詩歌接近沉默》（Poetry Nearing Silence）靈感來自藝術家湯姆-菲力浦斯（Tom Phillips）的作品，收錄了八首引人入勝的奇特微型詩。菲力浦斯的作品《幽默之心》（The Heart of a Humument）對比強烈，常常是奇異的並置--他通過選擇某些單詞和短語來 "處理 "維多利亞時代晚期的一本晦澀小說，然後在每一頁的其餘部分上作畫--這與生動想像的音樂相映成趣，其精煉的能量為所有七種樂器創造了一個俏皮、精湛的巡迴演出"

原文簡介:
A collection of eight engagingly quirky miniatures from 1997, Julian Anderson’s Poetry Nearing Silence was inspired by the work of artist Tom Phillips. The highly contrasted, often bizarre juxtapositions of Phillips’s The Heart of a Humument – which sees him ‘treating’ an obscure late Victorian novel by selecting certain words and phrases, and then painting over the rest of each page – are mirrored in vividly imagined music whose pithy energy creates a playful, virtuoso tour de force for all seven instruments.
