Moby's music studio is his dream island and the world of all happy and idle people. There are always many mysterious people traveling to his Neverland. Whenever a concert or an album is released, people will always find Moby's old friends in droves, and the special guests are dazzling. Many stars participated in the recording of his album and the work of live DJ guests. Gwen stefani, the enchanting female lead singer of No Doubt, not only sang in her works, but also appeared in the MV of South with a sexy shape. "Hotel" was written by him alone in the recording studio of new york's home, and with the help of his friends. Because of his superb music production level, he was also invited to write singles for popular brands such as Michael Jackson.
He never forgets his favorite rock and roll. In Hotel, he told the famous The Temptation of the New Order. He used to have his own band, which was good at guitar, bass, drums and percussion instruments. In his performances with Bao Van Dick, the king of electronic music, and Perry Farrell, the lead singer of "Addicts", the three stars performed on the same stage, while Moby was expressionless, holding a guitar and bathing in the luxurious sound landscape, which made the fans screaming and motionless.
Moby's talent for painting and writing is also displayed in the form of web pages. Moby's personal website not only publishes many of his hand-painted works, but also is a good place for him to publicize his personal ideas. While promoting the album 18, he created his own 18 Flash animation and put it in official website to promote his new song. With the hand-painted graffiti of astronauts, aliens, the earth and nature, combined with his whimsy, put it on the webpage for fans to browse and download, and show their feelings. Of course, all this was done in his own music studio.
He even took the time to compile a cookbook with his own illustrations-of course, as a staunch vegetarian, he won't let you find meat in the cookbook catalogue. Maybe a child likes something for no reason. Moby is bravely charging forward, and no one can stop him. Moby seems to have been hibernating for a long time after experiencing the madness and 18 after that much-watched scene. In fact, in the days when the world was not shocked in front of the curtain, he took care of his mood, bored in the studio renovated after the attack on the World Trade Center, and devoted himself to the preparation of the new album. He regards this hotel as one of the most important works in his life. "
Moby is good at the fusion of different types of music and the breakthrough and innovation in style. The interwoven movement of rhythm, melody and sound effects is enough to trigger a new pop culture, which is also the reason why a dance hymn was born. "Hotel" is harmonious and pleasing to the ear, which can satisfy the ear's thirst for all musical elements, and reflects his profound knowledge of music production.
His lyrics are particularly different from other electronic players, and are often full of sensitive and eccentric themes. Neither money nor fame and fortune can make his inner world peaceful. He follows the same logic as a dream, and even sadness is warm. In the spider, he is still the naive, curious child who needs a sense of security. His lyrics are full of fear of reinforced concrete urban jungle and confusion about reality and future. He always hoped that an omnipotent saint could save his soul. Perhaps, Spider-Man will come to save people who are not in line with the real world: "Many times/we have a lot of questions to ask/maybe what guided us outside heaven/let us come to earth/we can't stand here/why did you leave/why can't you save us again/come back, Spider-Man/let love, peace and beauty surround us again/we can't stand here/people have abandoned us for a long time/why did you leave us?" He also repeatedly asked childish questions: "Why did you leave me?" "Why did you leave here?" Perhaps, there are many sensitive and fragile children like him who are desperately praying not to be overwhelmed by the expressionless crowd.
The clear and euphemistic notes of Angel at Home are branded in the listener's heart like a beautiful chrysanthemum. "Love Should Be", a brisk piano cycle, a deep voice and a rigorous synthesizer string are like a song calling for life. Whether it is the ethereal distance of "slipping away", the euphoria and enthusiasm of "lifting me up" or the "extraordinary" momentum, people can strongly feel that the note is a challenge full of danger and excitement. Maybe you will find that life in front of you is like a silent movie: dull, boring, impetuous and painful ... but in Moby's songs, all this is reversed and exaggerated to be meaningful, sensitive, humorous, cute and even naive. Family environment is the biggest factor that makes Moby unique. His father, a rock activist and a chemistry teacher at the university, died in a car accident when Moby was only 2 years old. Little Moby was brought up by his bohemian mother Betsy. My mother is a versatile painter and pianist, dressed in hippie style, and often takes little Moby to rock concerts. But when she began to indulge in the drug world, she abandoned Moby.
Moby, who always shows his bald head, is a child who never follows the rules and suppresses his own creation. Image is a key to understanding Moby: through computer technology, he got rid of traditional rules and personally led us to explore boundless space; He presented his Disney fantasy to the audience through animated works, which was quite spectacular.
Too much loneliness killed his childhood happiness and dreams. Moby, a strange-looking electronic flash, always expresses a childlike depression and sadness in his songs, just as he always asks weakly, "Why am I so sad?" Why is my heart so sad? )"
On the slowly rotating earth, people are always inexplicably empty, and suddenly feel bored with everything, and Moby enters into inner meditation. Why am I so Sad tells the story of boredom, depression and confusion in the hustle and bustle of the city, and expresses his yearning for purity and freedom. It is a quiet, gentle and exciting melancholy work. In the MV, Moby turned himself into a cartoon character doll, living on the earth that has been destroyed by war, vicious biological chain and human beings. He came from another planet, took his pet fox dog for a long time, passed by mermaids, crossed glaciers and deserts … trying to find love. However, they found nothing, and they couldn't find any reason to settle on the earth. The mermaid sang "the open door" loudly. Which of these open doors can lead to the world they want to go to? Where will they go back? Where are you going? Finally, Moby took his fox dog to watch the moon at the top of the ladder, revealing a deep sense of loneliness and adding a touch of grotesque romanticism to the music. At the same time, it is also the internal embodiment of his loneliness since childhood.
In the MV of this world, it is still the real Moby. He also showed a strange supernatural thing to a great extent. All kinds of cute little animals hide and play in the corner, as if walking into a fairy-tale magic kingdom. On the bed, under the table, on the grass, in the swimming pool and even in the private station wagon, there are footprints of the little monster designed by Moby himself. They are bright green with long tentacles and short limbs. Fusion science fiction story, spacecraft and limousines shuttle between the stars. Invited female singer Jennifer Price sings softly and freely, creating a musical temperament full of wisdom and warmth. The soothing beat gently soothes our hearts in the peaceful melody. The dreamy atmosphere created by the whole MV makes people deeply intoxicated in the surging atmosphere. The same little monster image appears again in the MV of Sunday, which is definitely a unique creation in the production of record music video.
This elusive and ever-changing music maverick likes to challenge everything that others dare not imagine. He joined the "wandering meditation" church, attended nude parties and even applied for space-of course, he was rejected by NASA. So, he pinned his space dream on the whole album "18" and the corresponding MV. In the MV of the single "We Are All Made of Stars", Moby wears a spacesuit and has a futuristic temperament, just like whispering. Moby plays an alien who landed in Los Angeles. His spacesuit weighing 35 kilograms made him suffer a lot, and he couldn't help complaining about his childish idea: "I'm afraid this spacesuit was designed by sadists." I think this may be a way for the Taliban regime to punish the western imperialist people. " Just like he sang with narcissistic and crazy people in his song, "The population is growing faster and faster/people meet and people are separated ... now no one can stop it, because we are made of stars." The contradiction between his anxiety and fearlessness is also reflected in I'm not worried at all: "I won't worry/at any time/even if all the haze around me/comes to me."
Peter Pan is a naughty boy, he will never grow up on Neverland, and Moby, the real Peter Pan, will continue to tirelessly search for his musical Neverland.
If Moby is a ghost or an urchin in the electronic music world, I don't think anyone will object. The unconventional and unpredictable music style has always been the world's insight into his works, from single
