Chapter 6 Want to hear my new song?
After eating, Cao Wu and Batu went into the small recording studio.
When my father bought a house for decoration, he set aside a guest room and installed a small recording studio.
That was more than a decade ago, and the money to install this studio alone was enough to buy another house.
My dad is a voice actor and a voice worker, and it is convenient to get a small recording studio at home, and he recorded several commercial dubbing samples at home.
On weekdays, my mother will also open her voice in the recording studio in the morning, and she has lived in the community for more than ten years, and Cao Wu's family has never had conflicts with her neighbors because of her voice, which shows that my father is still quite far-sighted.
In the studio, there are synthesizers, stereos, and a set of electronic drums by Batuu.
Cao Wu adjusted the guitar, and Batu asked, "Are you really going to quit Zhang Haozhe's band?"
In the morning, during recess, Cao Wu told Batu about it.
Without raising his head, Cao Wu replied, "Retreat." ”
Batu scratched his head and wondered, "Are you willing?"
"What's so reluctant about this?" Cao Wu smiled: "I don't eat dumplings without two taels of vinegar?"
"Hey, hey, too!" said Batule.
"That's right. Cao Wu turned around and looked at Batu: "Let's form a band!"
"Shall we?" Batu was a little moved, but he was embarrassed to say, "My three-legged cat's level, forget it! Besides, my dad probably won't agree." ”
Batu's father and Cao Wu's mother are both engaged in the music industry, and they know best whether their children can eat this bowl of rice.
If they really have superhuman talents, they will definitely not interfere with the direction of their children's learning.
But it is precisely because they know that their children's musical talent is relatively ordinary, that they will not agree with Cao Wu and Batu to take the art examination route.
Cao Wu's musical talent can only be regarded as average, at least so far.
And Batu is not even as good as him.
Regardless of the industry, talent is far more important than people think.
There are so many musical families, and there is only one time-traveler-like demon Mozart.
But geniuses with extraordinary talent are only a small number after all, and for most people, diligence is definitely more realistic and effective than talent.
Cao Wu awakened his talent relatively late, and only after playing in the band for five years did he have an epiphany, and he barely stepped into the door, which can be regarded as entering the door.
Batu, on the other hand, is a model of diligence that can make up for shortcomings.
He has never been like Cao Wu's epiphany, where his skills, thoughts, and understanding have improved explosively.
But he is like a determined climber, step by step, steadily ascending, without surprises, but also never left behind.
Because of his rebirth, Cao Wu's level in all aspects has directly entered the category of occupation, while Batu is still in the stage of enthusiasts.
But Cao Wu knew that he was just missing practice.
"It's okay, play, otherwise what's the point of us practicing every day?"
Cao Wu smiled: "Let's play something different." ”
Batu asked curiously, "What's different?"
"Have you ever heard of hard rock?"
"Hard rock?" asked Batu, confused, "is it a new style of rock?"
Nowadays, domestic rock is still at the peak of psychedelic rock, and the same is true abroad.
Although the Beatles did not appear in this world, in the eighties, there was still a British band called The Goose that became popular in the United States, forming the rock culture of "British Invasion" and breeding a large number of bands.
They followed in the footsteps of The Goose and started the wave of psychedelic rock that is still popular today.
Psychedelic rock has incubated two musical styles that have influenced the world, hard rock and heavy metal.
The songs of the blood-dripping string band that Cao Wu likes in this world are a bit in the direction of heavy metal, and you can hear their careful attempts in arrangement, but they are not radical enough.
But even so, they directly rushed to the top of the Chinese music chart and became a rising star in the Chinese music scene this year.
And in Cao Wu's head, there are a lot of classic and mature hard shakes and heavy metal songs, if all of them are produced, I am afraid that the entire world music scene will be overturned by him alone!
"yes, would you like to hear my new hard rock song?"
Cao Wu raised his eyebrows, Batu is an absolute heavy metal fanatic, especially death metal, and it is his favorite, as long as he feels the charm of heavy music, even if he is asked to sacrifice chrysanthemums, he will play!
"You can still write songs?" said Batuu, who was skeptical.
Cao Wu smiled and hooked the strings, and a harsh electric guitar distortion sound sounded in the stereo.
"Damn!" Batu covered his ears and complained, "Your piano is not tuned properly, the distortion is too serious!"
"That's what I want!" Cao Wu smiled, "Give me a 195 extremely rapid rhythm, four-quarter beats." ”
Batu's basic skills were still good, and he immediately made four four-beats on the electronic drum and asked, "Is it okay?"
"Yes, pay attention to the third four beats!" Cao Wu tapped the beat with his toes, the pick in his hand crossed the strings, and a string of fierce and crisp electric guitar sounds burst out of the stereo!
After playing three or four beats, Cao Wu stopped and asked suspiciously, "Why don't you enter?"
Batu was excited, Cao Wu saw the hairs on his arms standing up, and he hurriedly said, "Don't stop, continue!"
Cao Wu looked at him speechlessly, Batu reacted, only to see him rush over with an arrow and pinch Cao Wu's arm: "Cao Wu, you said you wrote this song?"
"Uh......" Cao Wu was a little weak-hearted: "Have you heard this song?"
"No wow!"
"Isn't that it!" Cao Wu straightened his neck.
Batu opened his mouth, but he didn't speak.
Whether a song will appeal to you, a five-second prelude is enough.
Hearing a good song that completely suits your appetite is definitely a cooler thing than XX.
At least that's what Batu thinks.
It didn't make sense, in those few seconds, Batu arrived in heaven.
But Cao Wu suddenly stopped, but he was stuck in mid-air, extremely uncomfortable.
At this moment, he just wants to finish listening to the hard rock song just now!
"You sing it all first, I'll listen to it, hurry up!"
Cao Wu had no choice but to pluck the strings and sing the first lyrics in a very penetrating voice:
“Hey yeah!”
"Hey!"
“Are you ready!”
"Ready?"
“We be a guitar band!”
"We're a bunch of rock 'n' roll veterans!"
“We play across the land!”
"The tour is world-famous!"
……
The song is called "rock or bust" and is included in AC/DC's fifteenth album of the same name, and is the title song of the same name.
AC/DC is an Australian national treasure band, and in the hard rock faction, this band definitely has a submissive dominance.
The arrangement of overdrive tones and three chords pioneered by it directly influenced the world, and some even boasted that it gave birth to later punk music.
This is nonsense, of course, but it also shows the influence of AC/DC around the world.
Its orchestration isn't complicated, and some riffs aren't as technical as other hard rock bands. But that doesn't detract from the excellence of its arrangement.
And many times it is thanks to AC/DC that many people have the word hard rock in their minds.
Some people say that AC/DC songs are like sex, just a few tricks in the past, you feel like you've seen it all, but you can't quit this bite anyway.
Its music is so recognizable that after listening to it a few times, you can tell which AC/DC song is from a pile of rock music with your eyes closed.
Cao Wu only finished singing the first chorus.
As soon as the guitar stopped, he only listened to Batu's snort, and directly rushed over and hugged Cao Wu's neck, shouting: "Teach me! Teach me !!."
