Chapter 542 Is This The Boss' Brain Hole? ! (seeking subscription ~monthly ticket~)

In fact, these top students know more or less about the embarrassing status quo of pop music.

It's just that I seldom think about these issues.

Humans are the only ones who can think about meaning, and also think about the value of meaning and the reason why meaning comes from.

But this is only a small number of batches.

The vast majority of people do not delve into some of these topics.

The music students present understood everything.

Usually also noticed.

But it is the first time to discuss this trend in the open.

"Teacher, you said that the trend of popular music is de-melody. Does that mean that there are fewer and fewer excellent melodies? It is useless to focus on the creation of melodies in the future?"

bad B.

It is precisely because of some limitations of melody that, in experimental music, there will be research on atonal music.

It's almost a straight line that changes slightly.

“Well, throw in some really prominent rhythm sounds, and then take this bass-esque guitar sound for another layer of rhythm.”

So, what are really popular, excellent, high-quality songs like?

Undoubtedly played a big role.

Li Shaojie didn't give a complete answer, but asked the student who asked the question.

This inevitably makes people more curious.

"As for how to transition to the chorus"

"This leaves a hole in the rhythm of the real person singing, changes it, and creates a chemical reaction with the rhythm of the accompaniment."

"For example, if you emphasize the melody, the rhythm must not be too complicated. Too complicated rhythm will interfere with the judgment of the melody information."

After this song has been treated like this, MD seems to be poisonous.

"?"

In addition, the quality of the performance itself is extremely high.

"So, for such a pop music that can be very brainwashing, or give people a deep and obvious impression, a rough demo has been made."

"Look, I'm going to break a short shot here in advance. Here it's completely empty, but don't make it too long, it's just a matter of an instant."

The main reason is that the performance frequency of B is really too little.

The students were dumbfounded.

Guys, what does this say? !

This name made many students laugh.

To make the whole music sound more "intoxicating"?
All kinds of whimsical ideas began to appear in the minds of the students.

"The first thing you listen to is the melody, rhythm, timbre, strength and weakness. If you revisit it again, you may notice the layers, harmony, and even the entire texture, and you can roughly distinguish the tonality and mode of the music."

"Today's class is to see the big from the small."

Many students understand.

"No, the melody is still extremely important, I'm just talking about the trade-offs in pop music creation."

The student thought for a while and replied.

Seeing the unbelievable looks of the students, Li Shaojie began to deal with it differently.

Music with very little information.

When the chorus is reconnected, boy.

"But teacher, your verse and chorus can be said to be two extremes, so if the verse transitions to the chorus, it will be extremely uncoordinated, and it even feels difficult to connect. How to deal with this?"

　　In the past, Legend of the Phoenix highlighted the melody very much, so the rhythm was repeated every time, without any change at all.

The production process and thinking of this song seem to be very different from the traditional way of composing pop music today.

The students applaud.

"So, for the chorus, I can sing without vocals at all. I just make a melody with a lot of changes to brainwash, and while the chorus highlights the melody, in turn, it reduces the presence of the rhythm."

But the strange sound effects combined with the brainwashing melody really began to have a magical feeling.

Li Shaojie shook his head with a smile.

It can indeed be seen from the staves.

Music is truly limitless.

It is basically a consensus that Li Shaojie's tickets are difficult to get.

Pop music, not serious music.

It's hard to listen to atonal music in reality.

"Huh? Difficult to connect?"

"Music is the carrier of information. The audience's sensory experience of music is actually the process of interpreting the information in music."

"So, your messaging should have a clear purpose from the start."

"But I don't make too many changes in the melody. It can almost be said that there is no key. A slight difference will not make them completely the same sound!!"

Some students started asking questions.

But what is actually needed is this sense of "suffocation" and "suspense".

Naturally, it will make people feel that this TM music is becoming more and more ugly and boring.

As for real singing, it is also very simple to get rid of the illusion of "the earphones are broken".

For example, can you make a little more "poisonous" treatment in the use of breath sound?

The students burst out laughing.

"But for the average appreciator, these are superfluous."

"What I said doesn't mean that the melody is not important, nor does it mean that I won't pay attention to the melody in the future."

The student who asked the question frowned.

"Just break a few more shots!"

"It was completely beyond my expectations."

Li Shaojie shrugged.

"First of all, I decided to de-melodyize this song, focusing on the rhythm and the highlight of timbre information."

Add a bit of an extremely flat vocal transition and it's OK.

The large amount of information determines whether a song is listenable or not.

I also don't want to see my tickets being hyped so outrageously.

Li Shaojie spread his hands as a matter of course.

On the contrary, it looks more subtle, and even has a feeling of "a stroke of magic".

"Then, I'll pad the vocals a little bit."

There was a sound of lying in the student group.

The students immediately understood.

"That's right, teacher, we have always wanted to go to your performance, but we can't get tickets."

"Too little information, it will be monotonous, and it will be extremely boring if you listen to it too much, and the audience will not like it."

People just try to see if it can be done, and some people on your side will brag about it without thinking, and some people will deny it without thinking.

But it is precisely this long-term aerial shot that amplifies this "fragmentation".

"Oh Shet."

There are very few changes indeed.

It's so catchy! !
Even many students have begun to have more extended, new ideas about the form of life singing.

What kind of songs make people feel confused, incomprehensible, or unpopular?
The amount of information is huge, but there is no emphasis at all. It seems that the level of melody, rhythm and timbre has changed, but this has lost the memory point.

Perhaps, the gap between myself and the boss lies here.

The melody has indeed gone, but the rhythm and sound effects are still the old "factory standard configuration".

Li Shaojie said.

"But a song cannot be without a melody."

Then the writing range of your melody naturally creates a framework.

"Since it seems awkward to connect, why don't I just disconnect it?"

But he still got an A.

Li Shaojie created a new file.

Don't tell me, everyone didn't think about it at first.

This empty shot almost reached more than four seconds.

This kind of bold attempt and unique brain hole is really different from normal human beings.

Having said that, Li Shaojie changed the subject.

This is really the rarest of the rare, naturally rare.

Sure enough, a bad B.

"In this case, the melody cannot change too much, otherwise it will interfere with the changeable rhythm and electronic sound effects."

"According to the psychology of seeking differences and conformity in music, you can completely know that when the audience enjoys music, they like to brainwash, but they don't like to be completely brainwashed, and they are eager for changes."

"You need to have a steady line to show the variability of rhythm and electronic sound effects."

Therefore, in the writing of melody, there are fewer and fewer things that can be different.

Li Shaojie specially marked a few backhand points.

"I just want to tell everyone that if you want to take the creative path of pop music, then it is very important to determine the density of information in your songs and the focus of information."

"And in the specific creation, we must have a very clear goal, and know how to consider the work from the perspective of an audience."

Just stupid.

The obvious focus on the relationship is an important factor that determines whether the initial acceptance is high or not, and whether it will become popular.

"Ordinary appreciators only have a general experience and don't know how to identify information in a targeted manner. Therefore, the information level of your overall music must be considered in the creation of popular music."

Since he knew he was going to be beaten, why not beat him harder, so as to deceive compensation and insurance, right? !

But if it is in the same key, it will give you the same harmony trend.

What kind of song will make people get bored after listening to it a few times?

"The essence of popular music is entertainment, not something you can improve your academic level."

The "exploitation of thinking" mentioned by Li Shaojie really gave the students a feeling of inspiration.

Hearing this, Li Shaojie shook his head instead.

"I'm fucking shocked"

This almost makes people subconsciously think "my earphone is not fucking broken".

Death laughing, one song, disconnected for four seconds.

"But it's actually a guitar."

Seeing that the time was about the same, Li Shaojie made a conclusion.

The students laughed.

Soon, another outrageous chorus appeared.

Restricted to the harmony trend, the keynote music.

The file name is "bad guy"

On the contrary, it can enhance the magical feeling in the break.

This is also the reason why there are more and more industrial music and assembly line music.

　　Mountain and river map.

Li Shaojie turned on the device.

"That's right, it's based on your perspective as a practitioner in the music industry."

Let's be honest, writing pop music is never that simple.

Naturally, more and more hit the melody.

"On this basis, the emergence of hip-hop music has given contemporary musicians another choice."

"And through the changeable rhythm, let the charm of electronic sound effects be contagious."

"Those of us who are engaged in music, what is the first reaction when we hear music? What aspects will we pay attention to when we revisit it again?"

Coupled with the continuous lowering of the creative threshold in recent years, more and more people who call themselves musicians without professional training have started to create music. Copying homework is always easier than doing it yourself.

It's been working on it since the sound effects.

Because, although music pays great attention to connection and transition, sometimes music also deliberately emphasizes this sense of separation.

"Don't fall into the trap of thinking logic. Since you will find it difficult to be rounded if you try to connect, it is better to create a greater sense of separation to increase the amount of information, presence, and memory of your music."

Soon, a verse was written.

It is completely different from the jagged, high and low notes that you usually see on the stave.

"Pop music is short and concise, not suitable for carrying a huge amount of information like classical music, and the purpose is entertainment, to make appreciation easier."

really.

　　Let me give you the simplest example.

"Although we highlighted the presence and information of the rhythm and sound effects, and controlled the change of the melody, it does not mean that the audience is not eager for change. Therefore, in the switching link that is most eager for change, I directly disconnected."

"The creation of music sometimes focuses on one thought, and we don't need to be limited to one way of processing."

Seeming to see the confusion of the students, Li Shaojie spoke.

There is no change, no level, just a fast-food product with a frame.

"Teacher, can you reveal a little bit?"

A word from a certain student immediately made all the students become enthusiastic.

"We often talk about the level of aesthetics, but in fact it is not entirely a matter of aesthetics. To a large extent, it is the difference in the acceptance and resolution of information."

"A lot of information is very important, but if there is too much information and you don't consider a focused issue, it will make the audience feel a kind of clutter, and it will be difficult if they don't receive your information in the first place. For entertainment."

Having said that, Li Shaojie shrugged.

"Haha, don't worry, this time, everyone can easily see it."

Li Shaojie disconnected the connecting part of the verse and chorus.

　　The current Legend of the Phoenix is ​​one that retains the basic features, but at the same time begins to make changes and focus on different information in other places.

It's really a pity not to add fire to this kind of natural contrast that can't be met.

I don't want to run too many performances, it's so tiring.

Is this the brain hole of the boss? !

This kind of strong contrast in texture is really difficult to connect, and the connection will feel abrupt.

"When the chorus comes, it will naturally produce greater joy."

"Then, the audience will have a short-term breath-holding feeling, or a sense of suffocation."

"More and more popular songs are beginning to use a variety of electronic sound effects, and the screening and debugging of electronic sound effects takes up a greater proportion of musicians' time."

"In this way, while the melody remains unchanged, the cutting and changing of the rhythm become more intense."

　　The biggest advantage of Phoenix Legend is that it is a combination.

It is easy to do domestically, but it is really difficult to do abroad.

"Hahahahaha!"

"However, the writing of the melody will be restricted by the main tone music and the direction of the harmony, and the transposition and dissonance must also conform to the natural laws of emotional development and tonality changes, so there are not many places to play."

"That is to dilute the presence of the melody, to increase the rhythm, and the degree of information in the tone and sound effects."

　　Often continues for an entire song.

"So, let's adjust the weird tone first."

In the music industry, there are not a few people who put the melody first, so once the melody is removed, their rhythm and sound effects will appear extremely mediocre, monotonous, and exactly the same.

"It's better to say that since they can't connect, they will instead create a bigger split."

Yes, the second reason why modern pop music is becoming more and more rubbish is that in the limitation of melody, there are still a group of homework copyists who do not pay attention to the importance of rhythm and sound effects.

"If it's difficult to connect, then don't connect."

It is a song with a huge amount of information, but the focus is very obvious.

But thinking about it in a blink of an eye, this way of dealing with it is completely a masterstroke.

"De-melody, but deepen the rhythm information."

Li Shaojie nodded.

This class really made the students feel the difference in the thinking of top creators and the broadness of their views.

"Teacher, I heard that you seem to be preparing for a big performance. I don't know where you will buy tickets?"

The rhythm is indeed simpler.

But people's purpose is to find a creative method that can not be restricted by the main tune music and harmony direction, and the purpose itself is not for you to listen to, let alone to sound good.

The content of the speech directly hits the pain points of current popular music.

"Give everyone an experiment."

Not so fast.

Yes, this is one of the reasons most people feel that modern pop music is getting crap.

Li Shaojie said.

Therefore, this big move will naturally be different from the past!
　Everyone understands the transformation of Phoenix Legend.

Moreover, the changes in the melody began to intensify, which formed a sharp contrast with the initial melody that was almost unchanged.

"The electronic sound effects here also need to choose a weird and strange one, so that it can better match the rhythm changes."

"For example, I turn the guitar down very low, and the overall sound is very close to the bass."

　　So it is very popular, but it will also be scolded by many people.

　　The reason for the success is the development of Zeng Yi.

　　Zeng Yi began to be more responsible for the rhythm changes, but Zeng Yi's part of the melody has almost no changes, which is to highlight the amount of rhythm information.

　　As for Linghua's part, the rhythm is very simple, but it is responsible for highlighting the changes in the melody.

　　Compensating for each other, this piece of music naturally becomes very good.

　　And the song written in this chapter is similar to the same principle. (The song list is accompanied by accompaniment)
