포춘 쿠키 2집 - 흰 코끼리 같은 언덕 (2007)

일렉트로닉을 타고 흐르는 몽환의 풍경

2004년 데뷔앨범 [행운의 시작]으로 한국 일렉트로닉 음악의 대중화를 견인했던 혼성듀오 ’포츈쿠키’가 더욱 깊어진 사운드 스케이프와 상상력을 가미한 2집 ’흰 코끼리 같은 언덕’ (Hills Like White Elephants) 을 가지고 돌아왔다.

헤밍웨이의 동명 소설 "Hills Like White Elephants"에서 타이틀을 가져온 이번 앨범은 1집 활동 이후 인도, 캐나다, 영국, 브라질, 태국 등 세계 각국을 여행하며 얻은 예술적 영감을 2년여의 시간을 통해 음악적으로 구현해낸 결과물이다. 또한 일본과 독일 등 외국 뮤지션들이 믹스와 어레인지에 참여, 세계적인 사운드 스케이프를 구현하여 한국 일렉트로닉 음악의 새로운 지평을 열어내었다.

------------------------------
[일렉트로닉 음악을 가장 고전적으로 풀어내다]

이번 앨범의 특징적인 부분은 디지털의 산물인 일렉트로닉 음악임에도 불구하고 가장 아날로그적인 요소들을 가미하였다는 점이다.

첫 번째로 주목 받는 젊은 미술작가로 활동하고 있는 보컬 홍보람이 일일이 손으로 찍어낸 동판화로 제작된 한정판이다.

[인간의 손으로 그려낸 일렉트로닉 사운드]
400장 한정으로 제작된 이 Limited Edition은 음반이 가지는 예술작품으로서의 가치를 회복하려는 의도를 가지고 CD와 미술작품인 동판화를 결합하여 반 년의 제작기간 동안 작가의 손으로 직접 작업하였다. 이 한정판은 일반 CD 소매점에서는 구입할 수 없으며, 예술작품을 판매하는 인사동 쌈지길의 ’아트마트’와 갤러리, 그리고 일부 미술관련 사이트를 통해서만 구입할 수 있다.

두 번째로 손으로 제작한 종이 인형을 직접 촬영하여 제작한 ’일요일 아침’ 뮤직비디오이다.

[아날로그 스탑 모션 애니메이션으로 제작된 비디오 아트 ’일요일 아침’ 뮤직비디오]
촉망 받는 비쥬얼 아티스트 권수진이 감독한 ’일요일 아침’ 뮤직비디오는 실재 제작한 종이 인형과 무대를 사용해서 ’아날로그 스탑모션 애니메이션’으로 제작 되었다.
기획 3개월 촬영, 편집 4개월의 제작 기간을 거치며 일일이 손으로 작업한 이번 작품은 프로모션용으로 제작된 일반 뮤직비디오와는 달리 아티스트를 감독으로 섭외하여 하나의 예술 작품으로 작업되어 음악과 함께 색다른 예술적 감동을 선사할 것이다. ....

Moon And Melody

featuring 각 나그네

포춘 쿠키

6:35

It is in my underwear
It's my candy.
It's my melody
It is Hang on my rooftop
It's my teardrop
It's my destiny
It is caught on my radar
It's my satellite
It's my energy
I'm truely on my way
moon is shining
music is flowing
I'm divin' to the night. divin' into you.
I'm divin' into you. listen to the moon and melody
seeing in the light, through your eyes.
can you believe that everything was meant to be
As I walked out of the door, I saw a full moon in the sky
It was one of the brightest moon I ever seen in my life
It looked so beautiful that I felt like I had to keep it in my palm
so I could see whenever I wanted to.
So I stretched my arms up high to reach the sky but I couldn't open up my eyes..why?
cuz this moonlight had blinded my 20/20 vision and snatched my heart
and tried to testify that I was in love..
in love with the most fascinating charming alluring beauty
completely smitten by the eye captivating booty. It was definitely one of a kind. cuz I felt like caressing her body with my gentle twirl.
Entering a new world by easing the tension
by soothing her lips and hips and don't stop doing it until she wanted to quit
cuz we perfectly fitted in the right space in the right room.
yes... me and her, we were the nu millenium big boom.
Indeed, the sun-rise was so soon..that we had to hurry up.
and shift the gear, and take it to the next S T E P
so I blasted myself off to reach up high
as if I were a mother bird to feed her little B A B Y
and by that, I landed safely on the moon
and was able to get close the secret garden/ where the fruits were abundant.
her brilliant smile had seduced me into her secret haven and we both took off our clothes and felt the prohibited heaven
but.. we figure that there was no destination..no destination to go..
except running away from the reality..
but..you know that I was there for her,
and she was there for me just like the common sense's joint.
and it happened naturally secretly constantly til we sang that song endlessly...
it was heart to heart.. chest to chest..it was love to love with our best.
she was already part of me the super rookie
