艺人资料

霍华德·肖,好莱坞最出色的电影音乐家之一,曾凭借在《王者归来》中的出色配乐,荣膺第61届金球奖最佳原创配乐和第46届格莱美最佳原创影视音乐等奖项。

霍华德·肖(Howard Shore)一直以来,都是好莱坞最出色的电影音乐家之一,我们不难在电影中感受到他的音乐所产生的独特张力,但以前我们很难在唱片上感受到他的出色,因为他长期为恐怖片或心理惊悚片配乐,很难有机会发行一张动听大卖的电影原声带。霍华德·肖在大多数乐迷心目中,曾经是一个描写阴森景致与变态情境的高手,不过,《魔戒》系列电影的出现让霍华德·肖成功的扭转了乐迷对他的印象。

霍华德·肖出生于1946年10月18日,加拿大多伦多人,他从美国波士顿的伯克利音乐学校获得专业学位,此后很快在多伦多协助创建了一支摇滚组合“灯塔”(Lighthouse)。这支组合获得过一定的成功,但最重要的,是使霍华德展示了他作为创作者和制作人的才华。在离开组合之后,他开始尝试为其他新型媒体进行音乐创作。他结识了之后与自己事业密切相关的加拿大老乡Lorne Michaels和David Cronenberg。在Michael帮助下,他执导了5个演出季节的“周末夜秀”(音乐剧内容的节目),他为此创作了广为人知的主题音乐。在他结束这段工作后,受雇于为 David Cronenberg的影片《同伙》(Brood)编写配乐。

霍华德·肖此后采用交响乐形式为 David Cronenberg几乎所有影片进行创作,除了1983年的《死亡地带》(The Dead Zone),并且形成了一种令人印象深刻又多变的作品体系。历数霍华德所创作过音乐的著名影片有1988年汤姆·汉克斯的成名影片《成长》(Big)、1991年5项奥斯卡得主影片《沉默的羔羊》、1995年大卫芬奇的《七宗罪》、2000年的《入侵脑细胞》及2002年的《纽约黑帮》等等。

给霍华德·肖带来生平第一座奥斯卡奖的是《魔戒首部曲》的配乐。擅长惊险题材的霍华德以情感澎湃,又敏感地表现出身心交瘁感的音乐将这部史诗影片成功地烘托了影片的魔幻氛围,也使自己一夜之间载誉而归。这是霍华德从事电影音乐创作22年以来,首次获得奥斯卡提名,并且奇迹般地从约翰·威廉姆斯(提名作品《人工智能》、《哈利波特与魔法石》)、詹姆斯·霍纳(提名作品《美丽心灵》)手中夺得桂冠。这部作品同时掳获美国广播影评人学会、洛杉矶/芝加哥/拉斯维加斯影评人学会最佳原著音乐奖,也得到金球奖、英国影艺学院、美国电影学院AFI的电影音乐项目提名。

《魔戒首部曲》里,霍华德揉合交响乐与歌剧手法,运用远古时代精灵族与鬼魅族的歌声,并广泛采撷非洲、印度、居尔特等世界音乐素材精心酝酿出新世纪的魔幻史诗:《魔戒2》延续这样的创作精神,对峙的气势与辽阔的视野随著剧情无限开展,乐章的整体调性随著二部曲中黑暗魔王势力的高涨而呈现出惊骇的气息,处处满布著惊悸、惊悍的危机,但也对比出魔戒远征军的神圣使命感与宿命感,霍华德精雕细琢的功力绝对足以与约翰·威廉姆斯的《星际大战》相抗衡。

《王者归来》中,霍华德·肖以神圣壮阔的大合唱揭开这段冒险传奇史诗,并从擅长的惊悚气氛堆积功力之中,释放出耸动、憾人的宏伟气势,激荡一波又一波的磅礴狂潮。随着影片的辽阔视野与浩然排场,扬起个人创作生涯最具野心的英雄交响诗。一向喜以爱尔兰民情乐风丰润影片所需的传奇色彩,以及丰富古典乐神秘、柔美、威武、哀凄音质的霍华德邀来了美国著名女高音Renee Fleming、传奇女歌手Annie Lennox、长笛演奏家James Galway为本片配乐润色。

2004年,凭借《王者归来》,霍华德·肖已荣膺第61届金球奖最佳原创配乐和第46届格莱美最佳原创影视音乐等奖项,并获得奥斯卡最佳配乐提名。
