The audience generally said that the song was "ugly".

For people who don't know jazz, this piece is really ugly. The piece feels like a psycho playing around, and there is no beauty in the timbre or melody.

And those who know jazz, such as the girl who is ready to find fault, also frowned.

The girl found it difficult to define the genre, which at first glance sounds post-bop, but with a touch of noisy jazz and dark rock overtones...... In addition, irregular tempo variations, as well as wah, octave boost, and distortion effects, make it even more obscure.

What the hell is this???

The girl felt like her head was going to explode, and she wasn't even sure if it was a sir!

Despite this, the girl was quickly tied up by the imagery world created by Lin Hai.

In spite of oneself.

The girl, feeling like a slave, stepped onto the stage under the whip and, under the indifferent gaze, a high voice said to her: Start your show, or die.

Under the threat of death, the girl begins to dance, and then in despair she discovers that no matter how hard she tries, she cannot change the indifferent gaze around her...... Despair struck, her steps began to be messy, her body gradually stiffened, and her expression gradually became as cold as the people in the audience, and gradually became one of them...... She began to enjoy the revelry of indifference, but why was there such a strong sadness behind the hustle and bustle?

……

Fifteen minutes and seventeen seconds, this is the duration of Lin Hai's song.

For Akimi Oshima, the fifteen minutes were as long as a century, and from the moment Lin Hai played the first note, her heart lifted, and the feeling was like a prisoner waiting to be executed, knowing that the knife would fall, but still having a fluke.

Yes, although Master Watanabe is full of praise for Lin Hai's work, Akimi Oshima really can't tell what is so good about it, she can only comfort herself that jazz is not her cup of tea, maybe the audience will like it?

……

Lin Hai put down his guitar and bowed to the silent audience.

Won't the stimulation be too much?

To be honest, Lin Hai was not sure if he had made the right choice.

This piece was written when he was at the lowest point in his life. At that time, he was forced to participate in various garbage variety shows due to the contract, most of these shows had spoof elements, learning monkey dancing and eating mustard durian were just commonplace, and some of them were obviously insulting and discriminatory.

It was a painful time, a life that could not help himself and could not see a ray of light, which made Lin Hai suffer from depression and mild schizophrenia for a while, and even thought about ending his life......

It can be said that "can't dance" is a true portrayal of him, not that he can't, but that he doesn't want to, whether he fights or compromises, lives or destroys!

What could be better than welcoming a new student with a song that represents the past?

……

Lin Hai straightened up and looked at the audience quietly, he was waiting for the audience's response.

He can be willful, but he still expects recognition, the only question is, can the audience accept it?

Lin Hai waited for nearly a minute, and the concert hall was silent.

Watanabe walked up and patted Lin Hai on the shoulder, giving him a thumbs up, and Lin smiled to indicate that he was fine.

No matter how embarrassing the scene is, what is the cold scene?

……

The girl broke free from the image and let out a breath of turbidity, only then did she notice the abnormality.

It's so quiet, it's, it's really...... It's so insulting!

This is a concert, not a pop scene, and even if the audience is not satisfied, they will applaud out of politeness.

Of course, applause and applause are different, but anyway, the rules are like this, if the audience doesn't applaud, the performers can't get off the stage.

In a sense, this kind of silent behavior is even more excessive than throwing rotten eggs at a concert.

The girl's eyes turned red at the thought of herself, and she was angry.

She really wanted to grab the collar of the person next to her and scold - it's such great music, are you all deaf?!

Fortunately, she still had a shred of sanity, and instead of making crazy moves, she stood up violently and clapped vigorously.

At this moment, she feels like a fighter, and she wants to turn her anger into applause and slap it in the face of every audience!

……

"Bang, bang, bang......"

There was a round of applause from the audience.

Lin Hai thought a little self-deprecatingly, when can applause be judged as "one"?

Although the applause seemed so abrupt in the dead silence, Lin Hai smiled and bowed to the other party.

However......

When he raised his head again, he was greeted by thunderous applause......

The applause poured into the center of the stage like a tsunami, and even Akimi Oshima, who was standing at the entrance of the passage, could feel the tremendous energy contained in it.

Akimi Oshima's body went limp, she sat down on the ground, and covered her mouth vigorously to prevent herself from crying.

Nearly two minutes of silence, as well as sudden applause, made this female man who was used to seeing big scenes unable to hold it any longer.

It's so aggrieved!

In this more than a minute, Akimi Oshima felt regret countless times, she would rather give up than let Lin Hai face such humiliation.

God knows how much pressure Lin Hai was under during this long silence!

Fortunately, it got through.

……

Many years later, in her autobiography, Akimi Oshima still used the word "humiliation" when she mentioned Lin Hai's debut on stage, but most people preferred to call it "glory".

The June issue of Swing-Journal, Japan's oldest jazz magazine, wrote-

“…… I don't know how I got out of the concert hall, my mind is always occupied by the last song, and I can't wait to record this amazing journey...... In the song "Can't-Dance", we witnessed K's unparalleled talent and unbridled imagination...... In his music, you won't find straight lines, distorted, absurd, like the horrors created by the old rulers, as intimidating as the nocturnal walking of a hundred ghosts. It reminds me of John Cage, equally talented, equally deviant......"

"But the most impressive thing is not the music itself, but the silence that lasts for more than a minute after the performance. The duration of applause is often used to measure a performance, but this standard does not apply to K, who managed to make the audience lose control of their bodies, and at one point, I even felt like a marionette in his hands, so much so that I forgot the basic etiquette......"

……

Lin Hai didn't know that the media could blow it so well, and even compared John Cage, who really relied on the pen to eat, and exaggeration became an instinct.

Whoever believes in whom.

At this moment, while enjoying the applause, Lin Hai still kept a clear head.

Yes, although the applause is thunderous now, Lin Hai can hear that most of it is perfunctory, it is to follow the trend, and it is compensation after perceiving the faux pas......

No way, advanced is not necessarily good, and many groundbreaking things may seem like a mess to the public, like Picasso's paintings, or John Cage's "4 minutes 33 seconds".

……

Some people understood, like a certain girl.

The girl left her seat, ran to the front of the stage, and asked Lin Hai loudly, "What is this piece called?"

Because of the light, I couldn't see the girl's face clearly, but I recognized her through her clothes, and this was the first audience to stand up and applaud, and I am afraid that it was one of the few people on the scene who really liked this song.

"Can't dance. ”

Lin Hai answered the other party's question.

The other person asked, "What have you experienced?"

"Despair. ”

After Lin Hai finished speaking, Yu Guang noticed that Akimi Oshima was waving to him, so he said a faux pas and walked towards the performance passage.

Seeing this, the girl did not entangle, turned to leave, and took out her mobile phone to make a call as she walked.

"Dad, I thought about it, and I decided to return to China to develop...... Why? Because I can't dance either...... What do you mean? Don't ask, hang up!"

The girl hung up the phone and stopped to look back.

"Daddy is right, the level of music in China is no worse than in the United States, that guy-"

The girl patted her head and said in annoyance, "Oops, I forgot to ask what that guy's name is!"

……

Lin Hai walked up to Akimi Oshima and found two people standing behind her.

One is Kenji Kawai, and the other is a blonde foreigner.

This foreigner ...... Lin Hai has a slight face blindness and thinks that the other party is a bit like Brother Tom...... That's certainly not possible, Kawai isn't that big yet.

Kawai praised Lin Hai's performance and introduced the foreigners around him.

"This is my friend, Xavier Gemax, a composer from France. ”

“Bonjour，Enchanté。 ”

Lin Hai greeted the other party with a smile.

"Do you speak French?" Xavier Jemax was a little surprised.

"Yes, Mr. Jemax. ”

"Call me Xavier. Xavier laughed, "Congratulations, you put on a great show, the noise base is very imaginative, made with analog synthesizers?"

"Yes, it's rough because of the timing......"

"No, no, no, roughness is the charm of noisy music!"

Lin Hai disagrees with Xavier, if according to him, mankind is still stuck in the Stone Age.

The background noise in the song was made by using the band members' computers in the morning, limited to the current hardware and software level, coupled with the limited time, many things could not be realized, and in Lin Hai's opinion, it was definitely not perfect.

In other words, there is no such thing as perfection in the world of music.

Despite the differences in his views on the details, Lin Hai was glad to meet his soulmate, and the use of background noise in the arrangement is the core charm of his piece.

The two chatted more and more, and the speed of conversation became faster and faster, and Akimi Oshima and Kenji Kawai next to them looked at each other, completely unaware of what they were talking about.

Seeing that the two had no intention of stopping, Kenji Kawai had to interrupt them and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Lin Hai explains: "We are talking about the future of electronic music. ”

"Then you're a class leader," Kenji Kawai laughed, "Mr. Xavier is a connoisseur of electronic music." ”

"No," Xavier corrected in his broken Japanese, "Kai's insight has inspired me a lot. ”

Xavier's words surprised Kawai, these big noses don't know what politeness is.

Oshima Xiaomei was no better, she seized the opportunity to ask Lin Hai: "You speak French so well?"

"Ah, it's okay......"

Lin Hai is a serious bel canto, not only can speak French, Spanish, Italian are good, but English is a little worse.
