Ulaznice za koncert Dejvida Silvijana, koji će biti održan 15. oktobra u beogradskom Domu sindikata, u prodaji su od danas, rekli su organizatori na konferenciji za novinare u Domu omladine Beograda.

Koncert će trajati 80 minuta, uz dva bisa, karte će koštati 1.200, 1.500 i 1.800 dinara u zavisnosti od mesta sedenja i prodavaće se, kako je rečeno, u Domu Sindikata i na improvizovanoj blagajni u Domu omladine.

Urednik muzičkog programa Doma omladine Dragan Ambrozić rekao je da će Silvijan izvoditi pesme iz svih perioda svog stvaralaštva, to jest one iz solo karijere, kao i dve-tri pesme iz vremena kada je svirao sa uticajnim novotalasnim bendom "Japan".

Koncert će biti održan u velikoj sali Doma sindikata jer ona, prema rečima Ambrozića, pruža intimnost i odgovarajuću akustiku. Nastup će pratiti video projekcije, a posle svirke Silvijan bi trebalo da ostane na druženju sa publikom.

David Sylvian, bivši lider uticajnog britanskog new wave benda Japan, nastupiće 15. oktobra u beogradskom Domu sindikata, najavili su organizatori, Dom omladine i koncertna agencija Long Play.
Japan je nastao 1974. u londonskom predgrađu Lujšem, a članovi grupe su bili inspirisani izvođačima kakvi su The New York Dolls, David Bowie i Roxy Music.
Nakon slabije zapaženih albuma Adolescent Sex i Obscure Alternatives (‘78), koji su bili više gitarski orijentisani, zvuk benda se jasnije profiliše u pravcu eksperimentalne elektronike i produkcije.
Početkom 80-ih sa albumima Quiet Life (‘79), Gentlemen Take Polaroids (‘80) i naročito Tin Drum (‘81), Japan dostižu umetnički i komercijalni vrhunac.
Tin Drum se smatra jednim od najinvetivnijih pop albuma 80-ih, a na njemu se nalazi i pesma Ghost po kojoj su Japan danas poznati i široj publici.
Grupa se razilazi 1982, a David Sylvian nakon dve godine, albumom Brilliant Trees, počinje solo karijeru.
Njegova muzika prožeta je najrazličitijim uticajima i žanrovima, uključujući jazz, ambient, elektroniku i progresivu.
Poslednje njegovo delo je 71-minutno ambijentalni komad When Loud Weather Buffeted Naoshima, koji slušaocu treba da pruži doživljaj šetnje po japanskom ostrvu Naošima.
Ovo delo je urađeno kao porudžbina za fondaciju Fukutake Art muzeja na ostrvu Naošima, a u izvedbi je Sylvianu, između ostalih, pomagao i čuveni gitarista Christian Fennesz.

The concert was great. David and the band were in relaxed form, even if David said they had first night nerves. The audience was very loving and appreciative, and David smiled at the warm reception they received. (Songs divided by a slash denote segues from one song INTO the next without pause).

Keith Lowe wore a cool leather kilt, and David’s brother Steve continues to amaze on the drums. His playing was fantastic, at times subtle and dynamic, at other times forceful, always sympathethic to the material. David sounded in fine form, sittting on a stool the entire night, a la his friend Robert Fripp. Pianist Takuma Watanabe played with Sakamoto-esque grace.

The tour program is a full size (A4ish) book of David’s photographs and includes an 11 song sampler from his record label, Samadhisound. Featured amond the tracks are 3 unreleased Sylvian tracks, and a track from brother Steve’s soon-to-be released solo cd. (Playground Martyrs from the show is also a Jansen track). Other tracks feature Harold Budd, Akira Rabelais, David Toop, Nine Horses, and Thomas Feiner and Anywhen (who also feature on Steve’s cd).

David Sylvian’s opening track on the cd is a beautiful slice of Blemish-ish electronica called “The World is Everything” and clocks in at a mere 1.45. Track 5 is called “Sleepwalkers” and is 5+ minutes long and also reminescent of Blemish/Christian Fennesz. Sylvian’s final unreleased contribution is a track credited as Masakatu Takagi featuring David, and is a more mellow guitar ballad.
