Chapter 41: Stealing the Scale
"Stealing the scale!"
When Du Xinghe said this method, everyone, including Chen Hua, who was a composer, didn't quite understand what Du Xinghe meant.
In fact, stealing the scale is not a singing technique in the traditional sense.
It's a little trick that some musicians with special talent make when singing or playing.
In order to understand this trick, we must first understand what the stolen scale is.
According to the definition of "Foundations of Music Theory", the tones in the key are arranged in high and low order (ascending or descending), from the main note to the main note, which is called a "scale".
In other words, a scale is a string of tones arranged sequentially in whole tones, semitones, and other intervals.
It is the basis of melody.
If the pitch of music is compared to a large family, then 1234567 seven tones, each of which is a family member with a completely different meaning.
Standing in line with these members is the scale.
The so-called "stealing scale".
It is to disrupt the scale framework of the song in stages, and recombine it in the singer's own way, so as to sing a style that is more suitable for him.
Ordinary people sing, if they can't sing a note, they will try their best to modify the singing method of this note, so as to make up for their own shortcomings.
This kind of compensation, if it is not done well, it will become out of tune, and the following notes will also run together, and zuihou will become difficult to hear.
When Xu Nuo sang "I Am a Little Bird" with Asanna before, because the vocal range was not as wide and tall as Asanna, he was taken a little out of tune by Asanna.
This is precisely because she wants to correct her inability to sing haode, but she can't.
In fact, even if this kind of correction of a single note is achieved, it will appear in an obvious sense of dissonance above the level of melodic beauty, and others will sound very awkward.
Liao Nan is good at stealing scales, but when he is obviously familiar with the direction of the melody, he uses his own talent to modify the scale structure of a whole paragraph or a whole melody, so as to achieve a state of singing with ease.
This modification is similar to the pitch of a song that suddenly drops or rises, but it is completely different.
In the singing, the basic tone of the whole song is suddenly raised and lowered, which is too profound jishu, which is well grasped and amazed by the Quartet. But if you don't grasp it well, it's even more out of tune, and it will disrupt the overall beauty of the melody.
Generally, singers with a little singing skills don't do this.
The stealing scale, on the other hand, is to modify the arrangement of chromatic tones, whole tones, and other intervals, and to define the direction of this melody by reordering it while the overall tone of the song remains unchanged.
This is by no means something that ordinary singers can do.
Even many singers simply can't imagine this technique.
If there are some places that are not good at singing, the singer will usually practice repeatedly and polish the singing style of that place, so as to sing well.
There are few people like Liao Nan, who is born with a slippery and lazy character, where he can't sing well, he doesn't polish it repeatedly, but relies on his innate musicality to "steal" the scale.
Du Xinghe asked himself that he couldn't be as perfect as Liao Nan in the use of this kind of cleverness.
After all, this kind of jishu has little to do with the music itself, it is all determined by human nature.
Only Liao Nan's embarrassment can bring this skill to the extreme.
Du Xinghe told his thoughts to the people in the company at this time, and only Chen Hua and a few musicians from the old boy understood what Du Xinghe meant.
Xu Nuo didn't understand anything when he heard it, but he still didn't know how to sing.
Du Xinghe felt cold, his voice was swollen, and he couldn't sing to Xu Nuo.
I had to ask Lin Jianguo to drive to pick up Liao Nan.
Find Liao Nan, a master of stealing the scale, and show Xu Nuo directly.
Liao Nan is raising his legs at home in the city center and has not yet returned to Huaguang Art School.
Soon he was picked up by Lin Jianguo.
Coming to Yun Shijie again, it is completely different from the empty situation last time.
At this time, there were more than thirty staff members in Yunshijie, including Hongyan Records.
All of them were waiting for a breakthrough.
The atmosphere was tense.
It's quite stressful for Liao Nan.
I heard that Du Xinghe asked him to explain to Xu Nuo how to sing "I Am a Little Bird".
Liao Nan was directly stunned!
Xu Nuo's TV recap at the rematch, which he watched this morning.
What Xu Nuo sang, in his opinion, is completely shocking the past and the present! Tear-inducing inferior!
Now let him guide Xu Nuo, isn't this a joke!
Under the gaze of a group of professionals, this Huaguang embarrassment was rarely embarrassed, and complained to Du Xinghe in a low voice: "Do you want your brother to be ugly?" Deliberately sang poorly to boost Xu Nuo's morale? ”
Du Xinghe spit out a serious voice from behind the mask: "I'm not joking with you, you sing well." Time is running out now, Xu Nuo must learn your singing. ”
Immediately, he told Liao Nan about Xu Nuo's opening song with Asanna.
Only then did Liao Nan understand that Du Xinghe and they were looking for him.
It turned out that Xu Nuo was going to become "oil".
After thinking about it, Liao Nan published his own opening method; "My singing style is not suitable for Xu Nuo, my singing is too oily, and it doesn't match her timbre at all."
"Then you're a little less oily. You have to figure out how to make this song good without making people feel tired. ”
Du Xinghe posed a difficult problem to Liao Nan.
In his opinion, this brilliant musicianship is quite outstanding, and he should be able to choose between oil and stealing the scale.
Seeing that everyone pinned their hopes on him, it would be unreasonable for Liao Nan to retreat again.
I had to bite the bullet and go against Duan Xiaoxuan, who had just sung last night.
Duan Xiaoxuan's treble range is wider than that of Ashanna.
Although the sweetness and fullness of the treble are not as good as Ashanna, her momentum is three points more ruthless than Ashanna!
With her replacing Ashanna, if Liao Nan can be at ease and even win by skill, then Xu Nuo will be able to deal with Asanna tomorrow.
The opening skewer of the finals was not a live performance by the band, but a background music recorded by the Fuwan Music Station.
Yun Shijie has already taken a copy of this background music back to the company.
This piece of music makes KEY obviously more suitable for Asanna in the high register.
It is estimated that it is also the result of the four major black box operations.
It is obviously not conducive to Xu Nuo's singing style based on soft alto.
But now it's useless to care about anything.
People just have that kind of influence to make you cloud shijie.
Yun Shijie can only rely on his own wisdom to deal with it.
Everyone came to the recording studio, and Duan Xiaoxuan and Liao Nan entered the recording area to prepare for audition.
Du Xinghe reminded Duan Xiaoxuan through the headset: "Xiaoxuan, you must raise the tone when you come up." Tomorrow opens, and Asanna may be singing higher than today. ”
Duan Xiaoxuan nodded knowingly.
Thinking of the annoying arrogance of Asanna, she was angry when she was fat.
Venting her anger into singing is exactly how she usually resolves her troubles.
At this point, the music comes out.
Duan Xiaoxuan immediately made a little bird with a super high octave!
