"In your imagination, it's a neat marble staircase shrouded in mist"

"The sun is shining, and the stairs go straight to the clouds."

"You are dressed in clean clothes, you climb one level after another with piety, and the edges of the stairs are dotted with flowers."

"Look up, and you see the glorious church, and God is seated on a throne with the light."

"It was a graceful, perfect-looking humanoid deity, with a gentle smile on his face and a loving gaze on her."

"God? Allah? Jade emperor? Or the Buddha, you can substitute it according to your own preferences. ”

Under Li Jinglin's description.

Luo Shiyao could easily imagine such a picture.

Immediately I felt very novel.

As a matter of fact.

The simple neat steps represent a kind of logical beauty and a harmonious beauty in the mathematical sense.

One two three.

Simple and beautiful.

Such mathematical harmony and logic

It's easy to think of more harmony, i.e. more beauty.

Whether it's emotions, senses, scenes, smells, colors, or the imaginary appearance of God.

It will be a summary and generalization of beauty in your personal cognition.

"And what's the easiest way to turn them into music?"

Li Jinglin smiled.

Three notes were drawn on the staff.

The three scales are raised, and the distance on the staff is also very equidistant.

"For example, these three tones, 123, and Doremi, this is to ensure the interval relationship of the whole tone, one level at a time."

"Look, doesn't it look like the stairs just now?"

"Like!"

Luo Shiyao nodded immediately.

You don't need to know anything about music, and you don't need to know what a whole pitch is.

Judging from the order on the staff, it is almost no different from the steps just drawn.

It is still in a very regular upward pattern.

This expression is not at all as abstract as music, but a visual sense of regularity.

"Therefore, if it is constructed in such a way, this ode to God is glorious and holy."

"Even if it only has 123 notes."

listened to Li Jinglin's words.

Luo Shiyao nodded.

Even if you can't fully understand what the whole tone chromatic relationship is.

But in fact, I have heard of "major" and "minor" more or less.

The simplest cognition of major and minor keys is bright and sunny in major and gloomy in minor keys.

The ode to the gods is naturally magnificent, as if the golden light shines on the earth and gives people warmth.

"And what's next?"

"What's next?"

Speaking of this, Li Jinglin smiled.

Now it's time to start adding some ingredients!

It's still the three tones of 123 just now.

1 and 3 remain untouched.

But he pulled the position of 2 backwards.

From 2 to 2.5.

Thereupon.

The original harmonious 1-2-3 number ordering.

It becomes a sort of 1-2.5-3.

Put it in music, it's do, down mi, mi.

"Nest, it's so uncomfortable, it's weird all of a sudden."

Luo Shiyao only felt that the ants were crawling.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is going to be committed!

What is this pedal horse?

This horse is a good step, and there is a pit in the middle of the steps!

Stepping on it feels deep and shallow!

"Then I ask you to continue to imagine, did the sacred and magnificent scene just now suddenly feel different?"

"There is a trap on the way to meet the gods, and you will suddenly feel that there will be a trap ahead. Or is it a little devil with fangs? ”

"The bright sunlight seems to have become darker, and in such a scene, has the image of the god in front of me also changed?"

Listening to Li Jinglin's words, Luo Shiyao nodded again and again.

"It's just a simple pluck."

Li Jinglin smiled.

"If you're plucking these notes in a more complex sequence, the weirdness you can create becomes even stronger."

"With such strong feelings, the god you have seen. If you look at it from the perspective of a bystander, it may not be the Jade Emperor, but the indescribable Yugsototh"

"Good guy, there's a picture."

Luo Shiyao trembled, and it was easy to understand what Li Jinglin wanted to express.

Let's say some "yin music".

Suddenly a whole discordant interval, or suddenly giving you a whole big job in terms of volume, or going straight to the organ

Is the subject discordant?

No! Rather, it is a lot of harmony that can have a sharp contrast.

"Yes, but how did this distorted sense of sacredness come about?"

"Nature builds a sense of sacredness first, and then distorts it."

Li Jinglin's words sound a bit redundant.

But it's often overlooked.

Composition, in fact, also has rules and steps.

No composer can create such abstract elements as "a distorted sense of sacredness, a grotesque sense of justice" out of thin air.

It must be the first thing to use the harmonious beauty of mathematics in music to build a bright whole.

And then go and "defile" it.

"Back to the point."

"What can we see of the godskin apostles hunting the gods and raising the banner of rebellion against the Golden Law?"

Li Jinglin smiled slightly.

"At this time, don't think too much, let alone engage in any deep philosophy."

"It is enough to simply regard the Golden Law as a sacrosanct god, and the job is to hunt the gods and skin apostles. That would be blasphemy, of course. ”

"I see!"

Luo Shiyao nodded suddenly.

"So what?"

So, let's see, what is the ode to God like in religious music? Let's start by building a positive progression. ”

"Then, twist it again."

Li Jinglin wrote a very common direction of church music.

And some of the commonly used words in the psalms were written.

If a musician can see such a passage, the style of the music will immediately come to mind.

Hymn!

Immediately.

The music was changed on the passage that best represented the praise of the gods.

Yes, originally, this passage should have used the most glorious and sacred chords.

That is, in Christian music, the "Amen chord" is commonly seen.

A declension termination that unhurriedly transforms a fourth-order chord into a first-order chord.

Relaxed and spiritual.

Partially.

Li Jinglin has rewritten a most evil and unclean chord in this place.

The first to appear is the beginning of the Amen chord, the fourth-order chord.

Magnificent, sacred, positive.

But the connecting chord that appeared in the next moment was a fifth-level minus third chord!

Such a musical treatment.

If you describe it in layman's terms.

That is "desecration" of the Amen chord!

It sounds full of evil.

But the chords in front of it are still the composition of the orthodox Amen chords.

So, after the "blasphemy", this distortion naturally comes!

So far.

A small chord shift.

While expressing fanaticism, sacredness, and a sense of responsibility, it also directly hints at the blasphemous god-killing behavior of the "Godskin Apostles"!

"Well, doesn't it feel pretty simple?"

Li Jinglin smiled.

Luo Shiyao couldn't help but nod again and again.

The reason is simple, but the operation is actually not so difficult.

It's really not as complicated as it seems.

It's nothing more than slapping on a sacred chord.

Put a little demon with fangs on the throne of the gods.

But the texture change is very subtle and exquisite.

There is a feeling of "big ingenuity is not work".

It's as if the Sun family has been playing with bells and whistles for several episodes, and finally found that it has to be the Turtle School Qigong that can solve the problem better.

"And the seemingly complex requirements are not as complex as they seem to be in other ways of dealing with them."

Li Jinglin began to demonstrate to Luo Shiyao.

The various tricks seem complicated, but from the description of the principle and the change of the notes.

In fact, it's like an art student using black and white, or red and blue to make a comparison.

Very prominent, clear.

"For example, in the progress of the sacred chords, I add some radical and uneasy hints, which has an ironic sense of justice, and the listener is psychologically hinted at when they enjoy it, and they feel this fanaticism that they think they are sacred and just."

"In the chaotic and restless progression of notes, very high and joyful chords are used, which is also a more radical and unstable treatment, which can also be similar to the previous treatment, but different processing contrasts, increasing the variation of the musical layer."

This distorted mixture makes the texture of the music suddenly become wonderful.

After writing a general paragraph.

Li Jinglin used the keyboard to gradually input the audio signal into the production software.

After a simple blend, play it out and let Luo Shiyao feel it a little.

The content of the blend is actually very simple.

For example, choose some of the best brass pieces and use organ tones that represent religious music to render the texture.

On the main melody of the brass music, a layer of vocal sampling is covered with the main melody.

When the music actually comes out.

Luo Shiyao was stunned.

Li Jinglin obviously did it in front of himself, and the principle was not omitted at all, which is very easy to understand.

But there is a very strange sense of déjà vu.

It's as if the master told you

"Look, cement is so harmonious."

"Look, that's how the bricks are made."

"Look, the rebar is so safe."

"Look, the principle of the foundation and the load-bearing wall is this."

I understand it completely.

It's even easy to understand.

But in a blink of an eye, a 100-storey grand building full of modern aesthetics and technological texture rose in front of me.

Obviously, you can understand every step of the master.

But the results are really hard to believe.

"it."

It's really simple, but Luo Shiyao is stupid.

Simple and crude, but effective.

The basics are simple, but fantastic.

It's even more shocking than showing off a bunch of high-end operations that are incomprehensible.

"it!"

Luo Shiyao, who was in doubt, seemed to understand that sentence.

What is it called.

High-end ingredients often only require the most modest cooking methods.

The strength of a top chef is not the bells and whistles, but the ability to cook the most simple way to the extreme!
