羅莎莉·坎寧安（Rosalie Cunningham）：“我可以做任何我喜歡的事情 - 這是我的專輯

羅莎莉·坎寧安（Rosalie Cunningham）的心理第三張個人專輯《另一天拍攝》提醒著她如此特別的原因。她告訴Prog關於DIY錄音的樂趣，對邦德配樂的熱情以及今天發布唱片的反高潮

Rosalie Cunningham has released three solo albums to date, following her departure from Purson in 2017. Her latest, To Shoot Another Day, is her most diverse and expansive work yet.

羅莎莉·坎寧安（Rosalie Cunningham）於2017年離開普爾森（Purson）後，迄今為止發行了三張個人專輯。她的最新作品是她最多樣化，最廣泛的作品。

The album title is a reference to Cunningham’s outlook on making the record. “It’s me talking about the process of making an album, but through the lens of making a film, where I can be anything in my own screenplay," she says.

專輯標題是指坎寧安創作唱片的前景。她說：“是我在談論製作專輯的過程，但是通過製作電影的角度，我可以在自己的劇本中成為任何東西。”

"That’s the way I wanted to open my album. The verses, which are like script notes, describe the scene, and essentially say, ‘This is my work, and I can do what I want.’”

“這就是我想打開專輯的方式。就像腳本註釋一樣，這些經文描述了場景，從本質上說，'這是我的作品，我可以做我想做的事。'”

Cunningham recorded and mixed To Shoot Another Day entirely at her home studio in Southend-on-Sea. “There were incredibly extensive, long days," she says.

坎寧安（Cunningham）錄製並混合在一起，完全在她位於山海森德（Southend-on-Sea）的家庭工作室中拍攝了另一天。她說：“漫長的日子非常漫長。”

"I get into a hyper-focus at night; I kind of forget to drink water or go to the toilet and just go deep. It’s a blessing and a curse having a home studio, because there’s no clock to tell you to stop.”

“我晚上陷入了一個超聚焦的焦點；我有點忘記喝水或去廁所深處。這是一種祝福和詛咒，有一個家庭工作室，因為沒有時鐘可以告訴你停下來。”

The album features a wide range of musical styles, from psychedelic prog to lounge jazz, fuzzy psych metal and poppier melodies. Cunningham says the diversity is a natural progression for her as an artist.

這張專輯具有各種音樂風格，從迷幻的演奏到休閒爵士樂，模糊的心理金屬和彈出式旋律。坎寧安說，多樣性對她作為藝術家來說是一個自然的進步。

“It’s just a progression of me as an artist," she says. "It’s more to do with exploring genres that I was too scared to indulge in. Maybe I thought they were too predictable or too cheesy – now I’ve let go. Now there’s some really pop elements there, and there’s some bluesy elements, is definitely my partner’s influence.”

她說：“這只是我作為一名藝術家的進步。這與探索類型有關，我太害怕沉迷於。也許我以為他們太可預測或太俗氣了 - 現在我放手了。現在那裡有一些真正的流行元素，並且有一些藍調元素絕對是我伴侶的影響力。”

Cunningham's partner, Roscoe Wilson, co-wrote some of the songs on the album and also helped to shape its direction thematically. The couple share a love for James Bond soundtracks, which had a strong influence on the record.

坎寧安（Cunningham）的合夥人羅斯科·威爾遜（Roscoe Wilson）共同撰寫了專輯中的一些歌曲，還幫助主題塑造了它的方向。這對夫婦對詹姆斯·邦德的配樂有了熱愛，這對唱片有很大的影響。

“It’s just a genre of music that’s always seduced me," Cunningham says. "I find the whole vibe fascinating, so I’ve had a very natural inclination for it. I’m dramatic with my own music, so it kind of fits.”

坎寧安說：“這只是一種音樂流派，總是吸引我。我發現整個氛圍都引人入勝，所以我對此有著非常自然的傾向。我對自己的音樂很戲劇性，所以很合適。”

Despite the strong espionage influence, Cunningham refutes the idea of To Shoot Another Day being a concept album. “It is bookended by two songs that share a theme, similar to the tried-and-tested trope of The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album, where it only has a slightly developed theme.”

儘管有強烈的間諜活動影響，但坎寧安駁斥了將另一天拍攝為概念專輯的想法。 “這是由兩首共有主題的歌曲預訂的，類似於甲殼蟲樂隊的中士的經過測試和測試。 Pepper的Lonely Hearts Club樂隊專輯，其中只有一個略有發展的主題。”

As well as drawing from the shadowy and seductive world of Bond, To Shoot Another Day finds colour in observing the ordinary moments of the everyday. Timothy Martin’s Conditioning School – named after the founder and chairman of the Wetherspoons pub chain – is set in the mundane and commonplace scenario of teens getting drunk on the weekend; but it’s developed into something shrewd and impishly psychedelic.

除了從陰暗和誘人的邦德世界中汲取靈感，還可以在觀察日常時刻的普通時刻找到顏色。蒂莫西·馬丁（Timothy Martin）的調理學校（以Wetherspoons Pub連鎖店的創始人和董事長的名字命名）是在周末醉酒的平凡而普遍的場景中。但這已經發展成為精明而又不可思議的迷幻之處。

“I was looking around Wetherspoons in Southend on a Friday night, and it was just teenagers drinking sweet alcohol buckets, like WKD, using just one straw, and getting absolutely plastered," Cunningham says.

坎寧安說：“我在一個星期五晚上在紹森德（Southend）的韋瑟斯彭（Wetherspoons）環顧四周，而那是少年在喝甜的酒桶（例如WKD），只用一根稻草，絕對被抹灰。”

"It’s just hilarious that that’s allowed! As soon as you’re 18 you can go and do that, and they just actively encourage it. Not that I’m judging, of course – I was that 18-year-old too!”

“這很有趣，這是允許的！一旦您18歲，您就可以去做，他們只是積極鼓勵它。不是我在評判，當然 - 我也是那個18歲的年輕人！”

More playfulness can be found in the instrumental The Smut Peddler, a wink to the nickname she gave Roscoe. “He can be quite smutty!” she laughs. “That was just an instrumental riff that I had hanging around on guitar.”

可以在“ Smut The Smut Peddler”中找到更多的娛樂性，這是她給Roscoe的暱稱的眨眼。 “他可能很骯髒！”她笑了。 “那隻是我在吉他上閒逛的樂器即興演奏。”

Elsewhere, Spook Racket unravels the fantastical and mystical side of showmanship. “It’s a term I picked up in one of my favourite books, Nightmare Alley [by William Lindsay Gresham].

在其他地方，Spook Stanget揭開了表演技巧的夢幻和神秘的一面。 “這是我在我最喜歡的一本書之一，《噩夢巷》（William Lindsay Gresham）中撿到的。

“It’s about the conning mediums who used to go around in the early 20th century. I translated the term to a live band, exploring the magic of it. I was just thinking about how someone from that time, if they saw a rock show now, they’d think it was magic. They’d wonder how the hell it was being done. Like, where are the wires and pulleys?”

“這是關於20世紀初期曾經四處走動的騙子。我將這個詞翻譯成現場樂隊，探索了它的魔力。我只是在思考那個時候的某人，如果他們現在看搖滾表演，他們會認為這是魔術。他們想知道這是怎麼做的。就像，電線和滑輪在哪裡？”

No such illusionary devices are required for Cunningham’s live performances; just the talent of her own band. “They’re all great musicians – virtuosos in their own right," she says.

坎寧安的現場表演不需要這種幻覺設備；只是她自己的樂隊的才華。她說：“他們都是偉大的音樂家 - 本身的演奏家。”

"Live, there are always a lot of extended improvisational bits, which I think this album definitely has room for, with all the new blues and jazz elements. Also, we’re a more bombastic rock show live than I ever have been on record, so it’ll be more energetic than before.”

“直播，總是有很多擴展的即興碎片，我認為這張專輯肯定有空間的空間，還有所有新的藍調和爵士元素。而且，我們是一個比我以前在唱片中更具轟動性的搖滾表演。 ，因此它將比以前更具活力。”

Despite having been part of the prog scene for more than a decade, Rosalie Cunningham still exists very much in her own space; no one does
