阿曼達·麥克金南·帕爾默(Amanda MacKinnon Gaiman Palmer[5],1976年4月30日—)是一名美國演員,因在德勒斯登玩偶作為主場、鋼琴手和作詞、作曲而受到關注。[6]她有著非常成功的演唱事業,同時也是伊芙琳·伊芙琳組合成員之一,現在阿曼達·帕爾默和超級海盜樂團中擔任主唱和作曲者。
演藝生涯
帕默爾出生於紐約市的西奈山醫院[7],在馬賽諸塞州的萊克星頓長大。[8]她就讀於萊克星頓高中,並加入了戲劇部,[9]後就讀於衛斯理安大學,[10]並加入了潮人兄弟會。[11]她早年的演藝風格深受the Legendary Pink Dots的影響,並且曾加入過the Legendary Pink Dots的郵件列表——Cloud Zero。之後她創辦了Shadowbox Collective,致力於街頭劇表演並舉辦了幾場戲劇表演(例如2002年她導演「Blanc旅店」[12])。
處於對表演,對音樂和戲劇的興趣,帕默爾在蘇格蘭愛丁堡,劍橋的哈佛廣場、澳大利亞(在那她遇到了賈森·韋伯利)和其他地方表演被稱為活雕像的街頭藝術[13]她在同名專輯的一首歌「絕配」(The Perfect Fit)中,這樣描述她的工作:
"I can paint my face
And stand very, very still
It's not very practical
But it still pays the bills"
在《A是巧合》(A is for Accident)的專輯中的「水晶鞋(Glass Slipper)」中寫道:
"I give out flowers
To curious strangers
who throw dollars at my feet."
德勒斯登玩偶
在2000年的萬聖節晚會上,帕爾默認識了鼓手布萊恩·維廖內。在此之後兩人組成德勒斯登玩偶組合。為了積累表演經驗和默契,帕爾默邀請萊克星頓高中的學生在她的現場演出中表演鼓樂。The Dirty Business Brigade,一批經驗豐富的新藝術家參與了多場演出。在演出開始前和演出進行時,受邀穿著戲服的角色在觀眾人群中互動,有時退役軍人團體也加入到這精心設置的舞台表演中。真人大小的木偶、投硬幣的男孩、活雕像和其他特別喜歡秘密製作影片的人,以滑稽的馬戲團式的表演歡迎歌迷來到音樂會,創造出一種觀眾同時切身體驗各種藝術的氛圍。
在擁有了一批狂熱崇拜的粉絲後,2002年,樂隊在製作人馬丁·歐比斯(獨立製作人,在紐約成名)的幫助下,發行了他們的首張同名專輯,《德勒斯登玩偶》。他們在加入Roadrunner Record唱片公司前錄製了這張專輯。
2006年,由阿曼達·帕爾默編著的《德勒斯登玩偶伴侶》[14][14]出版。講述了《德勒斯登玩偶》專輯和這個組合的由來,和部分個人自傳。其中還包含了歌詞、單頁樂譜和在專輯中每首歌的標註,以及一張DVD,裡面是一個20十分鐘的對阿曼達著書的採訪。
2007年6月,作為德勒斯登玩偶的一員,她參加了True Colors Tour 2007,[15],並初次在紐約無線電城音樂廳登台,[16] and her first review in the New York Times.[16]
2008年6月見證了德勒斯登玩偶的第二本書,《維吉尼亞伴侶》。[17]這本書是德勒斯登玩偶伴侶的續篇,書中講述了肖恩·斯萊德和保羅·科爾德里創作「Yes,Virginia…」(2006)專輯和 「No,Virginia…」(2008)專輯的音樂和歌詞。
洋蔥地窖和歌廳
基於君特·格拉斯的小故事「鐵皮鼓」,帕爾默開始構思音樂舞台劇——洋蔥地窖。從2006年12月9日,直到2007年1月13日,德勒斯登玩偶在馬塞諸薩州劍橋的零箭頭劇院與美國話劇團聯袂演繹了這個傑出的作品。雖然帕爾默公開說她對整個表演的風格感到失望,但是歌迷和評論非常好。[18][19]之後,帕爾默作為獨唱歌手,在2010年秋天,回到了美國劇目劇團,擔任歌舞表演節目的主持人。[20]
2010年巡演
在2010年在美國所選場地的巡演,從紐約萬聖節開始並在在洛杉磯除夕夜結束。[21]
伊芙琳·伊芙琳
在2007年9月,帕爾默與賈森·韋布利合作通過傑森11唱片公司發行了伊芙琳·伊芙琳首張專輯「大象 大象」。Eleven Records (頁面存檔備份,存於網際網路檔案館)。她們的專輯,伊芙琳·伊芙琳在2010年3月30日發行,並在此後進行了全球巡演。[22]
單飛
在2007年7月,帕爾默以奇特的形式,在波士頓、霍博肯和紐約舉辦了三場演出,全部爆滿。她的伴奏樂隊是曾經和南方污垢公開演出的位於波士頓的一支名叫阿伯丁市的另類搖滾樂隊。2007年八月蘇格蘭愛丁堡藝穗節,阿曼達在Spiegeltent和其他幾個場地表演,同時也在BBC二套的「愛丁堡秀」上表演。她與澳大利亞劇團——危險合奏合作;在2007年12月,再次在墨爾本的Spiegeltent和澳大利亞幾個場地現身演出。
在2008年6月,帕爾默以波士頓流行樂作了2場非常受歡迎的演出,開始單飛。[23][24][25]
她的第一張個人專輯,由本·福特製作的誰殺了阿曼達·帕爾默於2008年9月16日發行。[26]Ben Folds produced and also played on the album.[27][25]這個標題使用了在「雙峰鎮」首次播出時,歌迷們喜愛的一種表達方式——「誰殺了蘿拉·帕爾默」。在2009年7月發行的一本書上有一張帕爾默的照片,看似她被謀殺了。這本書是一本攝影照片集,標題為「誰殺了阿曼達·帕爾默」,它由凱爾·卡西迪拍攝,尼爾·蓋曼編著,其中包含了她專輯中的歌詞。
在2008年秋天,她和賈森·韋布利、佐伊·基廷以及危險合奏開始在歐洲的巡迴演出,演奏歌曲大多數來自她的首張個人專輯。在多數表演中,她都是腳上帶傷堅持表演。在愛爾蘭時,當她正要上街時,一輛車碾過了她的腳。[28]
在2009年,帕爾默回到了她的母校,在馬賽諸塞州的萊克星頓高中,與她原來的導演兼導師史蒂芬·鮑嘉合作,為戲劇部春天的演出製作一部劇。這個名為「在她心中演唱的羅盤」的劇本創作靈感來源於中性牛奶飯店的專輯「飛越大海的飛機」和《安妮日記》。[30]這部劇受到了萊克星頓社區內外的一致好評。全國公共廣播電台《面面俱到》欄目的Avishay Artsy在演出前的那個晚上採訪了劇中的所有演員。阿曼達在她的博客中說到:「就那麼回事吧!」。[31]
在演唱會期間,帕爾默使用烏克麗麗來作為惡作劇,但是很快烏克麗麗成為了她演奏的一部分。後來,她做了一張專輯:專輯中歌曲都是用烏克麗麗做伴奏的,阿曼達·帕爾默用她神奇的烏克麗麗演奏收音機頭的流行歌曲。現在她有時在公共場所,開展面向所有年齡人的免費演出。[32] She sometimes performs during free ninja gigs in public locations, open to all ages.[33]
在2012年4月20日,帕爾默在她的博客上[34]宣布:她在Kickstarter網站上開始了她的新專輯的預訂。[35]Kickstarter項目由24,883名援助者支持現共募集資金$1,192,793,[36]那是Kickstarter網上所籌集資金最多的一個音樂項目。[37]專輯《劇場是魔鬼》是和超級海盜樂團共同錄製的,由約翰·康格爾頓製作,並在2012年9月發行。[38]
在2012年11月9日,阿曼達·帕爾默在烈焰紅唇的網站上,發行了第一個音樂視頻,這首歌是專輯《劇院是魔鬼》中的「Do it With a Rockstar」。這個視頻是由烈焰紅唇的主唱韋恩·科因指導並共同製作的。[39]後來又公開了「The Killing Type」和「The Bed Song」的視頻。[39]
在網際網路上與歌迷互動
帕爾默因使用網際網路而出名,她通常使用新方法讓新老歌迷建立溝通和聯繫。[40]她對音樂不斷研究的進展體現在她成功通過Kickstarter為她2012年的新專輯《劇場是魔鬼》集資。
爭議
和Roadrunner唱片公司發生爭執,歌迷離開
在她的歌曲「Leeds United」音樂視頻發行後,她因她博客中的一個帖子發生劇烈的爭論。她說Roadrunner唱片公司想要從視頻中刪掉那些我露出肚子的鏡頭,因為「……他們認為我看起來太胖了。」在她的歌迷看到這個之後,他們在網上發出他們肚子的圖片附加著Roadrunner公司的這一事件,帕爾默歌曲中的歌詞和對她一些安慰的話。然後他們把照片寄給了這個唱片公司,並創建了一個網站。歌迷們為這個活動創造了一個術語:重新露出肚子,併集成了一本書「肚子書」,其中包含了600張圖片和來自歌迷的故事。這本書通過網際網路賣給世界各地的歌迷。也對這個爭議進行公開報道。
部分因為Leeds視頻的爭議,帕爾默開始希望解除和Roadrunner唱片公司的合約,並創作和演唱一首名為「請讓我離開」的歌曲,通過這首歌曲請求唱片公司解除她的合同。[41][42]
在帕爾默和Roadrunner公司的長期鬥爭和她不斷的請求與之解約後,帕爾默宣布:Roadrunner唱片公司最終與她解約。她用一另首新歌來表達她的感激之情:「你是否發誓要說實話,全部實情只有真相才能幫你」,這首歌可以自由下載,來慶祝她重獲自由。在澳大利亞音樂遊戲節目Spicks and Specks上,她再次重申這件事情。
「Oasis」爭議
帕爾默的歌曲「Oasis」和她的後續視頻引發了更大的爭議。這首歌講述了一個虛構的故事,故事中她是一位Oasis的歌迷並且有著流產經歷的強姦受害者。儘管事件很悲慘,她在歌曲中反覆唱到「但是我已經看到好的日子的到來,我不會介意」,然後在歌曲中,向聽眾們公布了她和Oasis通過歌迷郵箱交流的整個過程,首先,「我僅僅是把信件放到郵箱中」,然後「Oasis在郵箱中得到了這個信」,並且最後,就是這首歌的結尾「我已經得到了郵箱中信」。帕爾默在英國時,收到了來自她的唱片公司的電子郵件,說國內幾乎所有的電視節目都拒絕播放這個視頻,因為這首歌有種輕視強姦、宗教、和流產的感覺。帕爾默在她的博客中回應「如果我緩慢並用小調來演奏這首歌曲,或許會播放這個視頻。試想一下。如果人們在悲傷和鋼琴的伴奏下,可能再伴隨著一些催人淚下的音符,聽到相同的歌詞,聽眾們是否會有爭議?」[43]
「我親了一個女孩」滑稽短劇
在2008年12月,帕爾默在洛杉磯亨利·方達劇院出演一個反加利福尼亞8號提案的滑稽短劇,劇中凱蒂·佩里看似一上場就開始唱她的備受爭議的歌曲「我親了一個女孩」,立刻被帕爾默和喜劇演員瑪格麗特·曹打斷、親吻並戲弄。緊跟著反8號提案的提出,這個滑稽短劇以兩個相互制約相互糾正的佩里被強制與帕爾默進行假婚禮為結尾。帕爾默在她的博客中提到,在同性戀社區中一些人對其在「我親了一個女孩」中,他們的身份被利用而感到不滿,並且說她其實是想把這首歌看做對8號提案的反抗。[44][45]
廣徵音樂家
2012年8月21日,帕爾默在網站上宣布她正在尋找歌迷來和他的超級海盜樂團在2012年巡演中共同演奏。對於音樂家,將會用啤酒、商品和擁抱作為犒賞。她的網站到處都是生氣的音樂家們的批評,說她沒有用恰當的方式補償他們。美國音樂家聯邦協會會長雷蒙德·M·海爾·Jr.評論說「如果需要音樂家登台演出,應給對此有所補償」,而史蒂夫·阿爾比尼簡單的回應說帕爾默是個白痴。帕爾默為她自己的行為辯護說,儘管她有錢支付在巡迴演出中同她同台演出的音樂家,她也拿不出35000美元去支付其它她想在當地演出時聘用的音樂家。在一個紐約時報的採訪中,她說「如果你能看到這些人的熱情,那些爭吵將都會變得無效而沒有意義…他們來這裡演出是如此的快樂」在9月中旬,帕爾默改變了她的想法並宣布他將支付所有自願在她的巡迴演出中表演的音樂家。
給喬卡的詩
then a remarkable thing happened.
the people who hated the poem started writing THEIR OWN POEMS, sometimes in sloppy haiku form, sometimes in limerick form, sometimes copying the stream-of-consciousness format of the poem i had posted...
and then: someone told me it was national poetry month.
and i thought: this is amazing. when was the last time a thousand people argued about a stupid poem?
or shared so many poems about something bad that had happened?
not any time recently, that i can remember."
在2013年4月21日,帕爾默在她的博客上公布了一首名為「給喬卡的詩」,並好像又送給了被控告參與波士頓馬拉松爆炸案的喬卡·沙尼耶夫。這首詩引起了讀者的強烈不滿,說這首詩是在同情製造爆炸的嫌疑犯。在4月23日的帕爾默隨後在博客中,回應說那首詩是花9分鐘寫的,那首詩大部分被她的歌迷和惡意誹謗者曲解了。
私生活
帕爾默和雲俱樂部(Cloud Club)的其他藝術家一同居住在麻薩諸塞州的波士頓。她被認定為雙性戀,並在2007年接受afterellen.com採訪時說:「我就是個雙性戀,但那並不是我花很多時間考慮的問題。我和女孩子睡在一起,我也和男孩子睡在一起,這大概就是雙性戀吧。其實我不反對用語言來簡化我們的生活。」帕爾默也談到過自己的開放的生活,在一次採訪中說:「我對不喜歡『一夫一妻制』的生活。我感覺我是為開放生活而生的人,因為我就是如此運作的。她解釋說:「這並不同於反衝的決定,就像這樣『嘿,我在這條路上,你也在這條路上,我們一起找其他人加入吧』。不是的,事實上這是我們情感關係的重要基奠,因為我們都喜歡這樣的生活。」在她的博客中,帕爾默聲明她在17歲時墮過胎。在同篇博客中,她同時也說出她在20歲時被強暴過。
在2010年元旦,帕爾默發推特說她可能對尼爾·蓋曼(Neil Gaiman)說她可能要嫁給他,但也有可能是她喝醉了。到15號,尼爾·蓋曼和帕爾默在各自的個人網站中證實了他們的訂婚。到12月16日,帕爾默在紐奧良為蓋曼的生日主辦了一場快閃婚禮(不合法的)。在2011年1月3日,這對夫婦通過推特想網友宣布他們已經在一場私人的婚禮中正式結婚了。而婚禮地點是在作家阿亞雷特·瓦爾德曼(Ayelet Waldman)和麥可·沙邦(Michael Chabon)的客廳。帕爾默喜歡冥思,並為佛教出版物「沙拉太陽」(Shambhala Sun)寫過一篇名為「旋律與冥想」(Melody vs. Meditation)的文章。在那片文章中她描述了在歌詞寫作和冥思之間的平衡與掙扎。她也在她的博客中提到她是一位魚素者。她有許多資深的音樂家朋友,因此常常和他們一同表演:在他們的表演為其伴奏,而他們在她的現場表演。這些人包括Jason Webley、Kim Boekbinder、Unwoman、The Jane Austen Argument、Reggie Watts、Tim Minchin、Mikelangelo、Meow Meow、Neil Gaiman、Paula Henderson及Zoë Keating。

A much more musical brand of theatricality animated the Dresden Dolls, a duo consisting of the pianist Amanda Palmer and the drummer Brian Viglione. Their set was a concise demonstration of cabaret-punk. Ms. Palmer, singing throatily at an electric keyboard, held her own not only on the band staple “Coin-Operated Boy” but also even amid the bombast of “War Pigs,” the Black Sabbath screed.

Inside the small confines of the mysterious club The Onion Cellar, the internationally renowned rock duo The Dresden Dolls provides nightly entertainment while a series of stories unfold around them. As singer, songwriter, and keyboardist Amanda Palmer and drummer Brian Viglione play their songs, the Onion Cellar becomes a space where rock and roll meets cabaret with humor and humanity.

The Dresden Dolls are taking the world by storm. This punk cabaret duo from Boston are incredible musicians whose smart, personal, intricate songs and mesmerizing live performance have earned them a cult following. Now don't tell anyone, but there's a rumor that the Dolls may be appearing at a bizarre underground club somewhere in Cambridge – an Onion Cellar, where the audience peel onions for emotional release, where you never quite know who's sitting next to you, where your life could change forever.

Last night in Symphony Hall, Amanda Palmer brought some spark and much-needed edge to the Boston Pops's EdgeFest. On her own terms, Palmer, in strong gravelly voice, gave a richly satisfying performance that had this crowd roaring far more than most in Symphony Hall. But even she couldn't overcome the deeper tensions that make the EdgeFest a strained format.

Last night, Amanda Palmer kicked off this season of the Boston Pops EdgeFest, the orchestra's collaboration with younger, "edgier" bands and performers drawing the iPod generation into Symphony Hall. The choice of pairing Palmer with the Pops lead me to wonder if the Pops had ever listened to a Dresden Dolls album or seen The Onion Cellar or, you know, met her.

For some reason crowd-surfing was especially viral this year. On Friday Matt Shultz of Cage the Elephant, a young Kentucky rock band just back from a quick coronation in the English press, made it all the way out to the back of the crowd, aloft on his hands. It was a spectacle that lost its novelty over the weekend, as seen in subsequent sets by Thievery Corporation, Amanda Palmer, Public Enemy (Flavor Flav did it three times) and Pink Eyes, from the Toronto punk band with an unprintable name, which played one of the weekend's most committed sets.

AMANDA PALMER–celebrated punk-chanteuse and pianist for the popular rock band THE DRESDEN DOLLS, and, more recently, hailed for the success of her Ben Folds-produced solo album Who Killed Amanda Palmer–is returning to her old stomping grounds at alma mater LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL. The reason? To create an original play with her former drama teacher, STEVEN BOGART along with a cast of twenty students. The play is written from scratch by the ensemble, the content of which is inspired by the music and lyrics of the critically hailed album, 'In the Aeroplane Over The Sea' by celebrated indie rock band NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL.

'I watch people proselytize this record all over the world, and it's like this secret brotherhood of awesome music that's never had any kind of big mainstream publicity,' Palmer says. 'It's just this sacred record that people connect through.'

A few years ago, as a one-off concert gag, Ms. Palmer strummed a uke as she sang Radiohead's 'Creep', accompanying herself on a $19 model she had bought the day before. But the performance turned out to be so starkly intense it could not remain a joke. So she began taking a ukulele everywhere, and before long she had recorded a full album: 'Amanda Palmer Performs the Popular Hits of Radiohead on Her Magical Ukulele', released last year. That Ms. Palmer absorbed the basics in a day – her usual instrument is the piano – indicates one of the ukulele's great advantages: it's so easy to learn that it's said to be almost impossible to play it badly. Even when slightly off key, it serves as a blank canvas that can accent the character of any voice. And in the right hands, it can strip a song to its skeletal core... As Ms. Palmer sees it, the ukulele is the zeitgeist instrument for the D.I.Y. age. 'This is the age of the democratization of music,' she says. 'Anyone can be a musician. And in a recession, when you have a $20 instrument and there's a big musical renaissance, anyone will want to join in.'

BEST TWITTER FEED @AmandaPalmer When we nominated AMANDA PALMER for "Best Twitter Feed," nobody asked us the obvious question: "Which one?" She's on the Twitterz so much that she's now got at least two. But the mothership, @AmandaPalmer, is the half-million-follower-strong engine of her virality and vitality. From it, YouTube uke covers of Rebecca Black songs go platinum; kickstarter campaigns sell out; impromptu Australian streetcorner busks turn into flash mobs; Friday night boredom turns into hashtag-driven e-commerce success stories, and, occasionally, lyrics for new songs are crowdsourced. Twenty tweets is a slow day for Ms. Palmer, who has never met an at-reply she couldn't respond to with a gentle quip, a lick of encouragement, or an all-caps gasp of amazement. Unless you're dumb enough to put her famous husband on a list of unsexy celebrities – in which case (trust us), look out. http://twitter.com/amandapalmer

Actress in a local production Amanda Palmer in Cabaret at the American Repertory Theater An alumna of Lexington High School and the local experimental rock scene, Amanda Palmer hit a high note with her 2010 turn as the Emcee in the Steven Bogart–directed production of Cabaret at the A.R.T. "There was much more of an improvisational playground for the Emcee," says Palmer, on why she chose to play the glowering, androgynous role. Her creative genius (and social media prowess—she has over 500,000 Twitter followers) has earned her a worldwide following as a street performer, Dresden Doll, solo artist and now as a risk-taking stage actress.

Who: Amanda Palmer Birthplace: Lexington, Mass. Sound: Cabaret punk Palmer – one-half of Boston's Brechtian punk cabaret duo the Dresden Dolls – ain't no damsel in distress. The former street artist chokeholds her demons, teetering between sinister screeches and whimsical whispers of alcohol, self-mutilation and sexual exploration, while discordantly pummeling the piano – stocking-clad legs akimbo – in a sultry, sinful self-deprecation exorcism.
