电影



Music is said to tame the heart of many beasts, but even the lively tunes of the Mos Eisley Cantina house band didn't prevent altercations from spilling both drinks and blood. The seven-member band consists of Bith aliens playing a variety of wind and percussion instruments.
据说音乐可以征服很多野兽的心，但即使是莫斯艾斯利小酒馆乐队的欢快曲调也无法阻止饮料和鲜血四溅的冲突。这支由比思人组成的七人乐队能演奏各种管乐器和打击乐器。

衍生宇宙



Meet the Modal Nodes -- a group of seven Bith musicians trained in jazzy popular music. Frontman for the Nodes is Fiery Figrin D'an, a card-shark and expert on the kloo horn and the gasan string drum. Backing him up on wind instruments are Doikk Na'ts on the Dorenian Beshniquel (or the Fizzz, for those in the know), and Ickabel G'ont and Tedn Dahai on their fanfars. Rounding out the band are Tech Mo'r on the Ommni Box and Nalan Cheel on the horn bell-bedecked bandfill. Lirin Car'n only sits in from time to time, but he does play a mean kloo horn backup.
让我们来介绍一下乐调节点乐队——他们由七名受过爵士流行乐训练的比思人音乐家组成。乐队领队是“火爆的”菲格林·德安，他是一个打牌出千的老手，演奏克卢号角和加桑弦鼓的高手和专家。在他后面吹管乐器的是演奏多雷尼亚贝什尼奎尔笛（内行称之为“嘶嘶嘶笛”）的多伊克·纳茨，以及吹奏凡法笛的伊卡贝尔·格昂特和特登·达海。在乐队外围的是演奏奥姆尼音乐机的特克·莫尔和吹喇叭——经过装饰的队满喇叭——的纳兰·奇尔。利林·卡恩仅偶尔露面，但他的克卢号角伴奏吹得非常好。

Like any band of this size, interpersonal conflicts flourish, even among the laid-back and introspective Bith. Figrin's habit of compulsively gambling away their earnings -- and even their instruments -- did wear thin. Being plunged into some of the seamiest venues and unsavory gigs didn't help either.
任何这样规模的乐队总避免不了人际冲突，甚至连悠闲内省的比思人也不例外。嗜賭成性的菲格林输光了他们的收入——甚至乐器，使他们越来越落魄。他们即使去一些最污秽的场所参加劣质的演出也无济于事。

Still, the band was popular and talented enough to land several long-standing gigs, such as their stay at the Mos Eisley Cantina. They even drew the attention of Jabba the Hutt, and became his house band until his fickle tastes turned. When the opportunity presented itself, they fled Tatooine. Though they traveled the stars for years, pan-galactic fame continues to elude them.
不过，这支乐队的人气和才华使他们足以在一些地方长期表演，比如在莫斯艾斯利小酒馆。他们甚至引起了赫特人贾巴的注意，成为其家庭乐队，直到善变的他改变品味为止。时机一成熟，他们就离开了塔图因。尽管他们星际旅行多年，但一直在银河系默默无闻。

幕后



The cantina band was not present during principal photography, but instead was added during a round of pick-ups filmed in California. The make-up artists wore the slip-on masks themselves, playing a variety of cobbled together alien-looking instruments.
酒馆乐队在主摄制阶段没有登场，但是在加利福尼亚的一轮补拍中被加进去的。化妆师亲自戴易脱戴面具，演奏一些胡乱拼凑的异族乐器。

Though the Modal Nodes boasts seven members, it took nine musicians to record the "Cantina Band" cues for the film. Included in the mix were a trumpet, two saxophones, a clarinet, a Fender Rhodes piano, a Caribbean steel drum, assorted percussion, and an Arp synthesizer for the bass.
尽管乐调节点乐队有七名成员，但为电影记录“酒馆乐队”提示时用了九名乐手。在混音中包括一个喇叭、两个萨克斯管、一根单簧管、一台芬达的罗兹钢琴、一面加勒比钢鼓、各类打击乐器和一台ARP的低音合成器。
