Chapter 211: Monster Orchestra
Mo Lingshu wiped his tears and looked at Chen Haoran who was driving the double-bottom drum on stage, and his eyes were full of surprise, thinking that this was really a monster band, a genius drummer, an all-round and perfect singer, although the guitar was not brilliant, but it was also very stable. There is also an ultimate boss keyboard player who saves zài.
Those who know the band know that in a rock band with only three instruments, it is impossible to arrange such a grandiose and glorious musical background without an extremely good keyboardist, and even if there is one more bass in the Crown of Sin now, it really can't do better.
So where is Cheng Xiaoyu?
He has a higher musical literacy than most Chinese rock band members, and can not only grasp the entire band, rhythm, melody, harmony, and timbre on a macro level. He also did all the basic work in the band, not to mention that he wrote the score, and if he felt that something was not appropriate in the performance, he had to change it according to his understanding. During the rehearsal process, as a keyboardist, he is also responsible for arranging the music and is responsible for the voice arrangement of the entire band. To be responsible for the overall effect of the band, the ears should always be prick up and listen to each part, to see if anyone is bubbling or if anyone has made a mistake.
And when he plays strings in the performance, the texture must not be controlled like playing the piano, and the pedal must be carefully controlled, and it cannot be broken or sticky. The lead strings are more difficult to play than the bottom strings. The jumping bow should be bounced cleanly and sharply, as sharp as a knife. The vibrato of wind and organ generally depends on the fader to control zhì, and the quality of the portamento at the beginning and end of the note directly determines whether you play like a real instrument or not, and whether you have breathing. Some timbres are layered velocity sampling, which requires you to be precise in the dynamics of the key, and what timbre you need to play can come out. That's just one aspect, on the other hand, you also have to think about the arrangement, according to the mood of the music, whether your foundation is going to be dense or open, your body choice, your choice of timbre. When you add a compound melody and flowers, what you play should take care of the overall effect of the band, that is, it cannot be single or thick. He must take care of both this and the qiē. It's scary to think about.
Therefore, the soul of this band is not Xia Shamo who stands in front and sways her voice to her heart's content. is not Chen Haoran who is trying his best to output the rhythm, but Cheng Xiaoyu who is silently supporting all the music skeletons, this kind of band that plays with sound effects, there is no keyboardist like Cheng Xiaoyu, and there is no play at all with guitar and bass. And he did the lyrics, music and arrangement. Just for these six pieces of music, this kind of creative ability can be said to be unparalleled, Mo Lingshu can imagine that he is the future of rock in China and even the world.
Duanmu Linsha, who was standing a little on the edge, was also coming to the festival for the first time, and the indifference of the audience in front of her made her incomprehensible, and now the frenzy of the audience also made her incomprehensible. At first, there was no one around her, but now there are pilgrimage faces all around, and everyone has countless restlessness in front of the stage to vent, such a crazy scene makes Duanmu Linsha feel that her life is in danger at any time. But she also found it really exciting, and it was a completely different experience from going to a concert. The atmosphere was very hot, and she felt like she was going to go into shock, unlike the calm and reserved music concert.
At this time, Li Yuzheng was full of emotion, he was the president of the fan club of "War Machine", when Lu Yang called him and called him to come over and sue him because the pop band "Guilty Crown" not only squeezed the audition time of other bands, but also ridiculed other bands on the same stage, including the Great Wall of Toys, War Plane qì and other bands on the same stage, all the bands were organizing fans to snipe at the "Guilty Crown", he also felt indignant, the Midi Music Festival is a grand event for punks. Pop music has taken over the market, is it still going to come and encroach on their spiritual home?
So he was the first to wave the flag when the Crown of Sin was singing the first song, but now he was completely brainwashed by the Crown of Sin. This is the real rock, compared to how pale the music of the war machine qì is, this melody that people can never forget after listening to it, is the true meaning of music. With his eyes moistened, he waved a metal salute to the Crown of Sin, shouting "Rock 'n' Roll Doesn't Die!"
When the last note of this dark symphony "Sheismysin" ends, the last drum beat. The stage and the audience fell into a short silence, and then I don't know who led the rhythmic shouts of "sin", "evil", "king" and "crown" resounded throughout the sky of Sanjia Port.
Cheng Xiaoyu, Xia Shamo and Chen Haoran walked to the front desk and bowed to the audience, countless people in the audience stretched out their hands to touch them, and even some people in the front row began to rush up to the stage regardless of Qiē, which made Xia Shamo startled, looking down at all the arms floating like aquatic plants, as far as the eye could see.
Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the black pressure and couldn't estimate how many people had gathered here, thousands or tens of thousands. He thought that they would cause a sensation, but he didn't expect the effect to be so powerful, and thanks to Lu Yang, they gathered popularity by surrogate the crown of sin in advance. Under the protection of the security guards, Cheng Xiaoyu and the others quickly disassembled the musical instruments and walked towards the back of the stage.
After all, the festival is not a concert, and it is impossible for the band to return to the show, and the audience, although still standing under the stage, are feeling exhausted after a short period of lack of musical stimulation, and this short half hour seems to have consumed all their energy and enthusiasm.
In the end, the crowd slowly dispersed, Lu Yang sighed and went on stage to prepare for the audition, and the next one would be the turn of "War Machine", but of course he knew that today's music festival was actually over in the hearts of the audience, because even the music of the Great Wall of Toys behind them had no way to compare with the "Guilty Crown". This is also one of the reasons why the music festival will arrange the performance order according to strength and popularity, and if the level of music is higher than the wave, there will be continuous highs/tides, if the great god appears in front, how can the band behind perform? And then it can almost be said that it is garbage time, because after a wave of highs/tides, it is difficult for music fans to get excited.
When Cheng Xiaoyu and the others walked backstage, they were all punk youths who stretched out to shake hands, or they raised metal salutes to them, and many people asked Xia Shamo for autographs and asked if they had CDs for sale. Most of these are festival staff and musicians from other bands. Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know how to respond to such an enthusiastic inquiry.
Chen Haoran is also almost prostration, although he can bear such a continuous general consumption, but the sudden relaxation of his spirit makes him feel very tired, and he was on the stage just now, and the whole person was also in an extremely excited state.
Cheng Xiaoyu glanced at Chen Haoran, whose face was full of sickly red, and Chen Haoran, who had been dripping with sweat, asked, "Do you want to watch the performance of the war plane?"
Chen Haoran could predict that the audience would not be excited about the music of other bands after the passion faded, so he smiled and shook his head and said, "Forget it." He also felt Cheng Xiaoyu's rock and roll, and listening to other music tasted like chewing wax.
Mo Lingshu caught up from the passage behind the stage, patted Cheng Xiaoyu on the shoulder, and said a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry just now." ”
Chen Haoran glanced at Mo Lingshu and continued to walk forward without stopping.
Cheng Xiaoyu stopped and looked at Mo Lingshu's slightly red eyes, knowing that she must have shed tears just now, smiled and said, "There's nothing to be sorry for, I don't think you have done anything that makes me feel sorry for me." ”
Mo Lingshu hesitated for a moment and said, "It's the music fans we organized to snipe at you. ”
Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "Rock and roll is a believing, not a standard, a self-redemption, and a forgiveness of suffering." What you're doing is only hurting yourselves, and it's really not a big deal for us. ”
Mo Lingshu was shocked by this explanation, and finally realized how naïve it was for him to ask others "what is rock 'n' roll". She struggled for a moment, biting her lip, and asked Cheng Xiaoyu, "Then can you give me your phone number." "Girls who play rock and roll aren't as reserved.
Cheng Xiaoyu let out an indifferent "oh" and reported Chen Haoran's phone to Mo Lingshu. Mo Lingshu hurriedly took out his mobile phone, pressed the button to record it, and dialed it, Cheng Xiaoyu was already lying at this time, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, he looked at Mo Lingshu and said, "I'll turn on the mute, wait to save your number." ”
Mo Lingshu nodded and said, "Remember, my name is Mo Lingshu. Then he hung up the phone he had just dialed.
Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and signaled that he remembered, and the two waved their hands and said that they would contact again, and Cheng Xiaoyu turned around and chased after the other members of the band.
Mo Lingshu stood behind and watched Cheng Xiaoyu's back, and did not leave for a long time.
The four people of the Guilty Crown slowly walked towards the entrance of the seaside park, and the Tang Dynasty stage in the distance was lit up, and the performance of "War Plane Qì" was about to begin. (To be continued.) )
