Arthur Morgan "Arto" Lindsay (born May 28, 1953) is an American guitarist, singer, record producer and experimental composer. He first achieved recognition as part of New York no wave group DNA in the late 1970s. He has a distinctive soft voice and an often noisy, self-taught guitar style consisting almost entirely of extended techniques, described by Brian Olewnick "studiedly naïve ... sounding like the bastard child of Derek Bailey"; his guitar work is contrasted frequently with gentler, sensuous Brazilian music themes. == Music == Although Lindsay was born in the United States, he spent many years in Brazil with his missionary parents and came of age during the influential Tropicália movement of Brazilian culture, which included musicians Caetano Veloso, Gal Costa, Os Mutantes and Gilberto Gil, as well as the visual artists Hélio Oiticica, Lygia Clark and Antonio Dias. This time of cultural experimentation and artistic cross-pollination made an enduring impact on the young Lindsay. In New York, Lindsay began his artistic ambitions as a writer, but quickly became interested in the art and music scenes that were evolving out of the New York punk rock scene at the time. In the late 1970s, he co-formed the seminal no wave group DNA with Ikue Mori and Robin Crutchfield, although Tim Wright of Pere Ubu fame would soon replace Crutchfield. In 1978, DNA was featured on the four-band sampler ''No New York'' (produced by Brian Eno) which brought an early taste of international notoriety to the group, and which quickly became the essential document of No Wave. The famous rock critic Lester Bangs once described the group's ritualistic vocals, and deliberately primitive, speaker-shredding guitar as “horrible noise.” In the early 1980s, Lindsay, and his particular style of guitar work and singing featured prominently in the early recordings of The Lounge Lizards and The Golden Palominos. These groups continued to break down distinctions between rock music, pop music, improvisation and avant-garde experimentalism. It was during this time that Lindsay established a collaborative friendship with John Zorn, playing in a number of his ensembles including Locus Solus. After leaving the Lounge Lizards, Lindsay formed the Ambitious Lovers with keyboardist Peter Scherer. This music was decidedly more pop influenced and featured more prominent attention to Brazilian music, like samba and bossa nova. In an interview with ''BOMB'' magazine, Lindsay explained, "Listen to the Ambitious Lovers, the whole idea was Al Green and samba. That against this; this against that; not a blend, a juxtaposition, loud/soft. There's no particular point in putting these things together. The point is what comes out in the end." 〔Krasnow, David. ("Arto Lindsay" ), ‘’BOMB Magazine" Spring, 2000. Retrieved on ()〕 Although their three albums, ''Greed'', ''Envy'', and ''Lust'' were Lindsay's first forays with a major record label, these albums genre-bending pop never caught on in the mainstream. The Ambitious Lovers disbanded in 1991, although Lindsay continued a strong working relationship with Scherer, and continued to record with him. In the early 1990s. Lindsay began to rarefy his singing voice and launched a solo career which was significantly more oriented toward his Brazilian roots, singing in Portuguese more frequently, throwing in occasional covers of bossa nova classics like (JObim )'s "Este Seu Olhar", and updating his sound from 1980s new wave to more current types of electronica on albums such as ''O Corpo Sutil (The Subtle Body)'' (1996), ''Mundo Civilizado'' (1997), ''Noon Chill'' (1998), ''Prize'' (1999), ''Invoke'' (2002), and ''Salt'' (2004). Lindsay worked extensively with bassist Melvin Gibbs, guitarist Vinicius Cantuária, and producer Andres Levin to help create his sound. Throughout the late 1980s and through the 1990s, Lindsay also composed a number of soundtracks, dance commissions and continued in a No Wave- related styles most notably with the Arto Lindsay Trio, with Gibbs and Dougie Bowne, who released ''Aggregates 1-26'' on the Knitting Factory label in 1995. He performed on the track "Counting the Roses," featured in the video game D2. Over the years, Lindsay has lent his musical talents to – and collaborated with – such artists asCaetano Veloso,Marisa Monte, David Byrne, Laurie Anderson, Alain Bashung, Marc Ribot, Gal Costa Cibo Matto, Bill Frisell, Animal Collective, Ryuichi Sakamoto, IlIe AiyIe Krisma, and Kip Hanrahan, to name but a few. In 1998, he collaborated with Arnaldo Antunes and Davi Moraes on the track "Sem Você" for the AIDS benefit compilation album ''Onda Sonora: Red Hot + Lisbon'' produced by the Red Hot Organization. In 2004, he co-produced and played with Seb el Zin on the Anarchist Republic of Bzzz album, also featuring Marc Ribot, Mike Ladd and Sensational. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arto Lindsay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
