I-IAMX iphrojekthi yomculo eyedwa kaChris Corner, eyasungulwa nguye ngo-2004. Ngaleso sikhathi, uChris wayesevele aziwa njengomsunguli nelungu leqembu laseBrithani le-trip-hop lama-90s. (Kusekelwe ekufundeni) Ama-Sneaker Pimps, ahlukana ngemuva nje kokusungulwa kwe-IAMX.
Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi igama elithi "Ngingu-X" lihlobene negama le-albhamu yokuqala ye-Sneaker Pimps ethi "Becoming X": ngokusho kukaChris, ngesikhathi enza iphrojekthi yakhe, wayesedlule esigabeni eside "sokuba" futhi. iguqulelwe ku-“X”, okungukuthi into engashintsha ngendlela efanayo nenani lokuguquguquka esibalweni.
Iqale kanjani i-IAMX?
Lesi sigaba saqala kuKorner ebuntwaneni. Lo mculi uthi umalume wakhe waba nethonya elikhulu ekubunjweni kwakhe njengobuntu bokudala, emethula emhlabeni womculo ongaphansi komhlaba lapho uChris eneminyaka eyisithupha noma eyisikhombisa kuphela. Umalume wakhe akagcinanga nje ngokumvumela ukuba alalele umculo, kodwa futhi wamfundisa ukuqonda incazelo ejulile yengoma ngayinye, isihlokwana sayo. Ngisho nangaleso sikhathi, uKorner wabona ukuthi ufuna ukuba ngumculi ozimele futhi waqala indlela yokudala iphrojekthi yakhe.
I-IAMX yaqala e-UK, kodwa kusukela ngo-2006 izinze eBerlin, futhi kusukela ngo-2014 eLos Angeles. Engxoxweni, uChris uchaza ukunyakaza njengento edingekayo ukuze uzithuthukise kanye nokudala: ukuthola imizwa emisha kanye nolwazi lwamasiko kumlethela ugqozi. Kubaluleke kakhulu kuye ukuthi azizwe ukuthi akamile.
Okwamanje, i-IAMX inama-albhamu ayisishiyagalombili, abhalwe ngokuphelele futhi akhiqizwa (ngaphandle kweyesihlanu, ekhiqizwe uJim Abiss, odume ngomsebenzi wakhe ne-Arctic Monkeys) nguCorner ngokwakhe.
Zihlukaniswa ngezinhlobonhlobo zazo zombili izinhlobo zomculo (kusuka ku-cabaret yezimboni kuya emnyama) nezindikimba zombhalo (kusuka emibhalweni ekhuluma ngothando, ukufa kanye nokulutha ukugxekwa kwezepolitiki, inkolo kanye nomphakathi uwonke), nokho, izici ezinjengokuvezwa kanye nokugqama. ngena engomeni ngayinye. Imiphumela yokukhanyisa, ukubukwa okugqamile, izingubo zokugqoka ezicasulayo kanye nezindawo, kanye nobuciko bukaChris kanye nokucasula kwesithombe sakhe kuyingxenye yomculo wephrojekthi.
Ngokusho kukaChris, i-IAMX yayingekho futhi ayisoze yagxila ekubeni ilebula elikhulu, njengoba yaxoshwa umqondo wokutshala imali eningi kuphrojekthi ukuze "ibeke" umlaleli. Umdwebi uyaqiniseka ukuthi ukukhiqizwa ngobuningi akusho ikhwalithi, okuphambene kakhulu.
“Kimina, amalebula amakhulu nomculo kuwudoti njengoMcDonald’s nokudla.” Nakuba kunzima kubaculi ukugwema izingqikithi zezohwebo, kuyafaneleka ngoba, ngokusho kukaKorner, kubagcina bezimele futhi nokudala kwabo kuqotho, kukhululekile futhi kungaguquki.
Isikhathi senkazimulo IAMX
Ngakho-ke, i-albhamu yokuqala ye-IAMX ethi "Kiss and Swallow" yanyatheliswa eYurophu ngokushesha ngemva kokudalwa kwephrojekthi, ngo-2004. Yayihlanganisa izingoma eziningi zomsindo ezilungiselelwe i-albhamu yesihlanu, engakaze igcwaliswe i-Sneaker Pimps.
Ukweseka i-albhamu, uKorner wahamba nohambo olukhulu lwaseYurophu nase-USA. I-Russia (i-Moscow kuphela) nayo yafakwa enanini lamazwe avakashelwe. Phakathi nalolu hambo, uhlelo olubukhoma lwe-IAMX lushintshe izikhathi ezimbalwa.
I-albhamu yesibili, esevele igcwele, "I-Alternative" yakhululwa eminyakeni emi-2 kamuva, ngo-2006. E-USA, njenge "Kiss and Swallow", yakhululwa ngo-2008.
Uhlu olubukhoma lwe-IAMX ohambweni lokusekela i-albhamu yesibili beseluvele luhlukaniseke ngokuzinza kwalo: lwakhiwe nguJeanine Gebauer (kusukela ngo-2009) uGezang (amakhibhodi, isiginci se-bass kanye namazwi asekelayo), uDean Rosenzweig (isiginci) noTom. I-Marsh (izigubhu).
Lolu hlu lwahlala lungaguquki kwaze kwaba ngu-2010, lapho uRosenzweig noMarsh bathathelwa indawo u-Alberto Alvarez (isiginci, oculayo osekelayo) futhi, izinyanga eziyisithupha kuphela, uJohn Harper (izigubhu).
Eyokugcina yathathelwa indawo umshini wesigubhu we-MAX ohlelwe yi-Korner. Ngo-2011, uCaroline Weber (izigubhu) wajoyina abahlanganyeli bephrojekthi, kwathi ngo-2012, uRichard Ankers (izigubhu) noSammy Doll (amakhibhodi, isiginci se-bass, amazwi asekelayo).
Kusukela ngo-2014, uhlelo belulokhu lulandelayo: u-Janine Gezang (amakhibhodi, amazwi asekelayo, isiginci se-bass), uSammy Doll (amakhibhodi, isiginci se-bass, amazwi asekelayo) no-John Siren (izigubhu).
Ama-albhamu alandelayo aqhubeka nokukhishwa njalo eminyakeni emibili kuya kwemithathu: I-Kingdom of Welcome Addition ngo-2009, i-Volatile Times ngo-2011, i-Unified Field ngo-2013.
Ngemva kokuthuthela e-USA, ngo-2015, i-albhamu yesithupha, "Metanoia," yaqoshwa. Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi amathrekhi amane akhona afakwe ochungechungeni lwe-ABC ethi How to Get Away with Murder. Izithameli zabathanda kakhulu kangangokuthi abadali bochungechunge basebenzisa izingoma ze-IAMX esikhathini esizayo.
Isibonelo, kwisizini yesine ye-How to Get Away with Murder, iculo elithi “Mile Deep Hollow” eliphuma ku-albhamu yesishiyagalombili, ethi, Alive In New Light, ekhishwe ngo-2018, liyadlalwa. Kulesi sibonelo, kufanele kuqashelwe ukuthi isiqephu esinale ngoma sasakazwa ngoNovemba 2017, futhi ithrekhi ngokwayo yasakazwa ngoJanuwari wonyaka olandelayo.
I-albhamu yesikhombisa, i-Unfall, ikhishwe ngoSepthemba 2017, ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokushicilelwa kwe-Alive In New Light. Ngokusekelwe kugebe elifushane kangaka phakathi kokukhishwa kwama-albhamu amabili anobude obugcwele, umuntu angahlulela ubuqiniso bamazwi kaKorner engxoxweni: umculi uthi akakwazi ukuhlala athule, ngaphandle kokutadisha noma ukusungula noma yini, njengoba ingqondo yakhe ingasebenzi kahle.
Izinkinga zempilo zikaChris Corner
Kwenye yezingxoxo, uChris wabelane ngezinkinga zakhe ezingokwengqondo okwakufanele adlule kuzo ngaphambi kokudala i-albhamu yakhe yesishiyagalombili enesihloko esingokomfanekiso. Iminyaka emithathu noma emine, uKorner "wayinqoba le nkinga" - wabhekana nokutubeka nokucindezeleka, okwathi phakathi kwezinye izinto, kwathinta ubuciko bakhe.
Lo mculi uthi ekuqaleni kwakubonakala kuye ukuthi lesi simo sizodlula ngokushesha futhi uzokwazi ukubhekana nezinkinga zengqondo eyedwa, kodwa ngemva kwesikhathi esithile wabona ukuthi ekwelapheni "ingqondo," njengokwelapha umzimba, umuntu kufanele athembele emithini nakodokotela. Isinyathelo esiyinhloko esimweni esinjalo ukufuna usizo futhi uzihlomise ngokubekezela.
U-Korner uphawula ukuthi uyajabula ngokuthi uye wazuza okuhlangenwe nakho ekunqobeni ukucindezeleka, nokuthi lokhu cishe “kuyinto engcono kakhulu engenzeka kumdwebi,” ngoba ngenxa yokuhlangenwe nakho okunjalo, waphinde wahlolwa izindinganiso, kwavela izimo zengqondo ezintsha, futhi. isifiso sokudala sasigcwele amandla.
