Chapter 129: Creation Class

"Sometimes I can't find the feeling of composing, so I tend to imitate the melody of other great works and make a new song with a little modification, and maybe even find inspiration for it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

This method of creation mentioned by Li Zhixian is not uncommon in the world of songs, after all, inspiration cannot gush out like a spring every day, and even the embankment will dry up, let alone the imagination of people.

There are even some composers who are less creative and have directly used this method to complete albums for a long time, such as a big brother who has released seven albums for infinite challenges.

However, this method is more suitable for novices like Kim Taeyeon and Tiffany, which is also the method that Lee Ji-hyun thought of last night.

As I saw just now, Rao is a veteran of software to the extent that Li Zhixian is not even aware of the existence of a flute in the onomatopoeia, and it is absolutely nonsense to want the two of them to master the tedious use of composition software. However, if it is just imitation, as long as you are familiar with the basic functions of the software, it is not a problem for musicians who know music theory.

Hearing him say that there is really a way, Kim Taeyeon and Tiffany are also pleasantly surprised.

If you haven't eaten pork, you can't even see a pig run. After debuting for many years, the two composers don't know how much they have seen, but whether they are young or have a certain age ring, they both have a common characteristic, that is, a raunchy appearance and bloodshot eyes.

These traits gave Kim Taeyeon and Tiffany a preconceived sense of creation – that creation is anything but an easy task. Although they have been making trouble unreasonably, they actually understand Li Zhixian's difficulties in their hearts, and the lowest expectation of the original newspaper is to observe Li Zhixian's creation silently on the sidelines, but they didn't expect him to be so attentive.

"By the way, do you remember the previous song "Letmego"?"

Kim Taeyeon and Tiffany nodded in unison, and Tiffany also glanced back and forth at Lee Ji-hyun and Kim Taeyeon with strange expressions.

In fact, this song is a typical parody, but the completion is much higher than "something". In fact, I believe you also feel that it is very similar to the OST genre sung by Taeyeon in the past, but through the modification of the melody, the element of orchestra is added to it, making it more bleak. ā€

Although Li Zhixian's explanation is quite accurate, it is the first time to explain the process of creation to others, and his tone and movements are inevitably stiff, and he seems a little pale and weak.

may have realized his lack of ability to explain, Li Zhixian turned his mind and changed his thinking.

"In this way, I will temporarily compose a song according to this imitation method, and you can see how much you can understand first!"

With that, Lee Chi-hyun opened the music library of "Letmego", and most of his works were backed up in the studio just in case.

"Take this song as an example and watch me do it. Pull its track to the top of the screen so you can compare it at any time. ā€

Li Zhixian taught while talking, speaking at a speed that was neither hurried nor slow, and at first glance he really looked like a teacher.

"But because it's an imitation, we can make some changes to the original background instrument and add the type we want to create. For example, I've been busy practicing public performances lately, and I've been exposed to rock music a lot, so I can change the piano-based sound in "Letmego" to a rock melody with a focus on the drum beat. And because the main body of the song is ballad lyrical, you just need to add a little bit of light rock beats, and use common simple chords to compose it, like this......"

After speaking, he sat down in front of the keyboard again, and played a series of repeated beats that even junior high school students had heard.

What amazes Kim Taeyeon and Tiffany is that the notes that are played on the keyboard are transmitted to the computer and become a drum beat by him casually.

"How did you translate the keyboard sound into a drum beat?" Tiffany was straightforward and immediately asked Li Zhixian a direct question.

"It's easy." Li Zhixian kept adjusting the chords, and replied with a part of his spirit, "There is a collector in the toolbar, you connect the keyboard to the computer and set it up, and the popped notes will be automatically captured, and then directly converted." ā€

Li Zhixian didn't take their problems to heart, but was interrupted by another "trembling" voice.

Out of the corner of his eye, he realized that it was Kim Taeyeon and Tiffany who had taken out a notebook out of nowhere and started taking notes.

Li Zhixian laughed out loud: "Are you two concerned? Also take notes! ā€

"Our brains are not as smart as your famous college students, so we can only use stupid methods!" Tiffany replied without looking up, intently taking notes.

Although I feel that this picture is a little funny, especially the petite Kim Taeyeon, who is lying on the table and writing, the appearance is no different from that of a slightly older junior high school student, but it is also up to the two of them, and it doesn't hurt to take it seriously.

"You see, it's only been less than half an hour, and the early part has already been framed."

At some point, a small string of syllables appeared in the audio track on the screen, and after Li Zhixian pressed the play button, although it sounded a little rudimentary, it was also full of internal organs and began to take shape as a song.

Kim Taeyeon and Tiffany were amazed that they didn't expect the composition to be so simple in his hands.

Li Zhixian's voice kept continuing: "Let's compare it with the above "letmego". ā€

First played a few seconds of "letmego", and then a few seconds of a new composition, not to mention, the two songs really sound seven or eight points similar.

Because he only made a small half of the tune, and soon stopped playing it automatically after the comparison, Li Zhixian concluded the results of the first lesson: "This method is simple, right? As a composition practice, you don't need to be too creative at first, you can first use the imitation method to familiarize yourself with the composition process, and then think about new works such as innovation when you really get started. ā€

Still in a "trembling" voice, Kim Taeyeon and Tiffany both nodded while recording what he had said.

Lee Ji-hyun took advantage of the gap to peek at the content recorded by Kim Taeyeon, but he didn't expect that she looked naughty, but her concentration was not slack, and the notes she wrote were almost a copy of what he said!

After sighing, Lee Ji-hyun planned to delete this temporary work that had not been injected with painstaking efforts, but somehow he was caught a glimpse by Kim Taeyeon, and in a hurry, he directly grabbed Lee Ji-hyun's hand and said, "Hey, don't delete it!" ā€

Li Zhixian was stunned by her sudden movements: "Why are you keeping it?" I'll talk about other methods in a moment. ā€

"Let's use this as a demonstration this afternoon, and finish the composition of it." Kim Taeyeon took the initiative to make decisions on the "classroom lesson plan" as if she were the teacher.
