Chapter 362: Psychedelic Rock
The third song of the 11th original good song competition is Chen Tianhua's work.
When Chen Tianhua writes songs, he first pursues stability and stability, and then in terms of pleasantness, he has extremely high self-requirements, no matter what kind of music genre he does, he is this characteristic.
The songs written by Chen Tianhua may not have distinct personality characteristics, but they are all very good, and they are very suitable for commercial music, so in the past ten years, before the rise of Ye Luo, he made ZuΓ²'s records and sold the best.
The same is true of his first rock work tonight, not as angular as Ding Shaoyang, it is a rock song with some pop music style.
Listening to it on the whole, Ye Luo felt that it was not bad, slightly inferior to Ding Shaoyang's song, but it was good enough to listen to Cheng dΓΉ, as the first of Chen Tianhua's two songs, it was quite normal.
After Chen Tianhua, there are two ghosts.
This brother is holding back his energy today, and tonight's fourth and fifth competition songs are the masterpieces of the two of them to justify their own name.
A while ago, in the battle for the first person in domestic rock and roll, the two ghosts were undoubtedly beaten by Ye Luoxiao. This head-to-head drum contest, coupled with the impetus of the music critics, caused some minor friction among fans on both sides. Since then, the so-called journey of love, love war, and life, the three main music songs, and the life of the two ghosts, have been declining in popularity step by step.
Up to now, the journey of love is still in full swing, and Leshi has made a lot of money. Love Wars is a lot inferior, but the user base is stable and the number of clicks is also very high. Life is the weakest, although the number of clicks is not low, but it cannot be compared with the other two zones.
What makes the two ghosts more depressed is that after the second episode of the original good song was broadcast a while ago, Ding Shaoyang also annoyed many Ye Luo's music fans, and the two ghosts thought they could watch the show.
I didn't expect Lao Ding to be cunning and know how to take advantage of the situation. After that, he immediately repaired the relationship with Ye Luo, and also released the news that Ye Luo's future father-in-law was a fan of Ding Shaoyang, which invisibly made the music fans of both sides compatible, but made the popularity of his music zone go up to a new level.
The same thing, different fate, made the twin ghosts very depressed. So the recording of original good songs. Yu Zuo Yu You and several other mentors were more or less alienated at first, everyone was not familiar with each other, and there were pimples in their hearts, no wonder.
In the last few issues, everyone got along, and after a few drinks of wine, the pimple in the hearts of the two ghosts had long been gone, and looking at Ye Luo, a junior, it was also pleasing to the eye.
But it's pleasing to the eye. The best thing in the life of the two ghosts is music, especially rock music, which is the pride in their hearts, and now that Ye Luo is so strong, they have the idea of competing again.
The two ghosts also think very clearly, with Ye Luo's current level, it is difficult for the brothers to win. But this kind of challenge is exactly what the best masters crave in their hearts.
The results don't matter. It is the process of this challenge that is needed.
Their first work tonight is angular, which is completely different from Chen Tianhua's previous flat and stable style.
In the prelude to this song rock, they introduced a special instrument that looks a bit like a guitar, but the musician plays the handle. But it's like playing a lute.
This piano has a long neck, very beautiful decoration, and there are two layers of strings on the case, and there are nearly twenty strings alone, which seems to be complicated to play.
Ding Shaoyang looked at the piano on the stage. Turning his head and asking Ye Luodao, "Test you, what is this piano called?" β
Ye Luo couldn't help but smile bitterly, because he was too young, so on this occasion, he often had to be tested by several other tutors.
However, he also knew that these questions from other instructors were not really asking him, but for the audience, and many viewers must not know this instrument.
"This instrument, called the sitar, is the most representative classical instrument in India." Ye Luo smiled slightly, "As you can see, there are two layers of strings, in fact, the seven strings on the upper layer are the main strings used to pluck, and the eleven strings on the lower layer are resonance strings, so you don't need to play them." β
"Yes, then I'll test you again, since you use the sitar." Ding Shaoyang smiled, "The first rock song of those two ghosts tonight, what kind of rock is it?" β
Ding Shaoyang's question is a bit interesting, ordinary people will really be stumped, but Ye Luo is not an ordinary person, putting aside the music of another world in his mind, his level of music theory knowledge, under the influence of Niu Xueyi, is very solid.
Ye Luo knew the answer, but he didn't say it in a hurry, but pointed to the stage: "I can't finish this sentence or two, the song is about to start, let's listen to the song first." β
As soon as Ye Luo's voice fell, the prelude to the sitar began to come, the timbre of this kind of piano is very special, brighter than the guitar, as soon as you listen to this sound, a feeling of the Indian peninsula comes to your face.
Along with the sound of drums, the song comes with a rock flavor, and the stage is interlaced with colorful bright lights.
A rock band under EMI Records, with hair longer than the other, dressed up on stage, and the lead singer is a rock singer who is very famous on Hong Kong Island, Mai Ju.
This rock tune by the two ghosts, whether it is the arrangement or the stage effects, gives people a magical feeling.
In Ye Luo's eyes, this is a great improvement for the two ghosts in the near future.
The rock works before the two ghosts, in Ye Luo's eyes, are the kind of musicians who are immersed in their own rock world and can't extricate themselves, although the rock music made is good, but if the fans don't have considerable rock skills, they can't understand it, and the sense of distance is too great.
And tonight's song, to say that the audience can understand it, is also nonsense.
The two ghosts of this song use a lot of guitar distortion timbre, including the singer's electronic singing, and if you leave the subtitles, Ye Luo can't hear what Mai Ju is singing.
But at least, as soon as the whole stage effect comes out, everyone will have a feeling of uncertainty.
This feeling makes this piece seem very high, and it will make the audience feel that if they don't vote for it, they are sorry for their taste.
And what makes Ye Luo feel that the two ghosts have made progress is the first rock song of the two ghosts tonight, although it is still in that state of high and low, but at least, the two ghosts have made it so that it can arouse the curiosity of the audience.
In the past, the audience not only couldn't understand it, but they weren't interested in knowing, but now the audience still can't understand it, but at least they want to explore what it is.
Coupled with Ding Shaoyang's questions in front of the song just now as a foreshadowing, the whole performance effect came alive at once.
If you want to write a good song, in Ye Luo's opinion, there are two ways to go. One is to establish a sense of emotional substitution. If a song can go to the heart, it is a good song.
The other is to establish an unattainable sense of distance. The song is complex and beautiful, the quality is extremely high, the insider can see the doorway, the layman can look at the lively, look at the lively at the same time, and at the same time, it will also be a good song.
The first is to infect the listener with emotion, and the second is to shock the listener with skill.
The first rock song of the two ghosts tonight took the second path, and it was very successful.
After the whole song was performed, the audience's response could be seen to be even crazier than Ding Shaoyang's.
When the audience gradually quieted down, Ding Shaoyang did not have a topic to guide him, but looked at Ye Luo for a long time, waiting for him to continue the topic that he had not finished just now.
Ye Luo cleared his throat and said, "The sitar is the most representative classical instrument in India, but it is famous all over the world because of rock music.
The intersection of sitar and rock music originated as a rock genre in the sixties of the last century.
One of the most prestigious rock bands in Europe at the time, in two very famous rock works, introduced the sitar respectively.
Since then, this instrument has been known to music fans all over the world.
Nowadays, we can see this kind of piano in many music programs. Although the pianist's skills came from India, music directors could afford to use the instrument thanks to the popularity of rock music all over the world.
And this rock genre that was introduced at that time to the sitar also introduced other non-Western musical elements, this kind of rock, known as psychedelic rock. The use of non-Western musical elements is one of the characteristics of psychedelic rock.
Just now, the rock song of the two directors Yu is a typical psychedelic rock work. β
"Wonderful." Ding Shaoyang applauded, "I didn't expect Director Ye to be young, and when he dropped his bookbag, he was not inferior to me, an old teacher." β
Chen Tianhua seemed to have something to say at this time, but when the words came to his mouth, he seemed to feel that it was inappropriate, and swallowed it again.
Yu Zuo looked at Chen Tianhua's expression, smiled, and said: "In the process of its birth and development, psychedelic rock has some bad things, and musicians sometimes use drugs to create music.
Today, we came up with such a work for everyone to taste, because this style of music is not heard in China.
Psychedelic rock is a pinnacle of the development of rock music, known as the best era of rock music, and now we are familiar with European and American rock bands, such as Peter's Shot Band and Rolling Time Band, have released psychedelic rock style records.
This is a period in the history of rock and roll that should be remembered.
When we Chinese musicians introduce these European and American music, we have to extract the essence from the rough, throw away the dross, and leave the essence behind. Some ways of creating psychedelic rock are undesirable, but it should not be dismissed as a form of music that flourished, and its contribution to the history of rock and roll.
Thank you. β
Ding Shaoyang smiled at this time: "This is the power of our Chinese musicians, the Yu brothers." In the past, a group of foreigners in Europe and the United States wrote this kind of song, and they had to take drugs and beat chicken blood to drive themselves crazy before they could write it.
But our Lingnan music duo, the brothers sat opposite each other, eyebrows and eyebrows, and they could easily make psychedelic rock.
This song is worth its weight here, comrades. β
Ding Shaoyang's words amused the audience.
Chen Tianhua said at this time: "Two Brother Yu, since you have taken out the music genre at the peak of rock music in the fourth song, then what do you take out of the fifth song?" β
Yu Zuo smiled slightly and said: "Psychedelic rock is one of the pinnacles of commercial rock, and the next song is diametrically opposed. (To be continued......)
