🌱 Moment: re:grow — 走进 Tennyson 的音乐时刻

🇨🇦 Tennyson，本名 Luke Pretty，生于加拿大埃德蒙顿，是互联网音乐史上一位具有奠基意义的人物。早在2011年，他就上传了第一首作品，成为 Soundcloud 最早一批崛起的明星之一。早期的创作是未来贝斯（future bass）与他从小演奏的爵士乐技巧的折衷混合体。妹妹 Tess 加入打鼓后，两人一同演绎他那些技术性十足又不失趣味的作品，兄妹组合迅速成为实验电子界的宠儿。

🎵 通过 Ryan Hemsworth 的 Secret Songs、Skrillex 的 OWSLA，以及 Ninja Tune 旗下的 Counter Records 发行作品，Luke 的音乐在每个扎根的土壤中持续进化。2023年移居东京后，他与日本艺术家 lilbesh ramko、peterparker69 和 PASTASTA 展开合作，并发布了专辑《aka》，标志着声音影响力和视角的转变。

🌸 《re:grow》是 Luke 在日本时期结出的果实，深受东京超流行（Tokyo hyperpop）、舞曲和植物学纹理（botanica）的启发。尽管在我们眼中他如此特立独行，他却说自己总觉得一直在模仿一种落后了好几年的声音。透过季节的更替，我们觉得他只是在收获多年前播下的种子：他所追逐的那些声音，若没有他的影响，根本不可能先于他存在。

🌿 这些甜美的旋律、氛围音乐床和纹理丰富的打击乐，是为未来绽放而播下的种子，继续致敬着那股拉扯的力量。

🚃 “这些录音在你模糊远去之后，沿着山手线旅行了 4140.4 公里。”​ Tennyson 写道，“我想我们只能让它重新生长（re:grow），这样它才能再次凋零。这样我们就能在下一次相见……就像第一次那样。顺便说一句，水元公园里那青绿色的水可没有放射性哦！” 😄

Moment re:grow, a Tennyson moment
Born Luke Pretty in Edmonton, Canada, Tennyson is a formative figure in the history of internet music, among the first spring of Soundcloud stars with his first upload in 2011. The early productions were an eclectic melange of future bass and the virtuosic jazz he grew up playing. Joined by his younger sister Tess on drums, they performed his technical yet playful productions live, making the siblings quick darlings of the experimental electronic world. Releasing with Ryan Hemsworth’s Secret Songs, Skrillex’s OWSLA, and Ninja Tune imprint Counter Records, Luke’s music continues to evolve in every pot it’s planted in. Following a move to Tokyo in 2023, and collaborations with Japanese artists lilbesh ramko, peterparker69, and PASTASTA, he released his album ‘aka’, marking a shift in sonic influence and perspective. ‘re:grow’ is the fruit of Luke’s time in Japan, and heavily inspired by Tokyo hyperpop, dance music, and botanica. For as idiosyncratic as we hold him, he tells us he feels like he’s always trying to imitate a sound that he’s years behind. Through the cycle of seasons, we feel like he’s just reaping what he sowed years ago: the sounds he thinks he’s chasing couldn’t have existed first without his influence. These sweet melodies, atmospheric music beds, and textured percussion are seeds planted in hopes for future blooms, continuing to honor the push and the pull.”These recordings traveled 4,140.4 km on the Yamanote Line after you blurred away. I guess we only let it re:grow, so it can die again. So we can see each other the next time… just like the first time. By the way, the lime green water in Mizumoto Park is NOT radioactive!”
