Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 201 Fill the gap vigorously!
Chen Jun was very nervous.

Although he suffers from severe hearing loss, he is not completely deaf.

With the help of hearing aids.

There are some obstacles in daily communication, but they do not greatly affect life.

But for things like music.

That is entertainment that is out of reach.

Even though the feeling of hearing music as a child is still deep in my memory, it has long been blurred.

In the case of basic loss of mid- and high-frequency hearing.

Chen Jun hasn't heard the complete song for more than ten years.

Most of the songs.

They all look like torn old photos.

It's blurry, people can't be seen clearly, there are large areas missing, and colors are lost.

Over time, I naturally became estranged from music.

Being able to agree to help in this experiment is just the last bit of hope in Chen Jun's heart.

However, as the song played.

Only fifteen seconds of music.

But Chen Jun felt as if he had been pursuing his goal for a lifetime.

The original intermittent feeling disappeared.

It’s actually a complete song!

"I can hear you."

Chen Jun was a little excited.

The articulation is more slurred.

"Can you repeat the lyrics you heard?"

"."

Chen Jun nodded.

He spoke along with the song he heard.

".With such sorrow in my heart, how many years have I been away from it?"

"Pretty!"

Li Can and Tu Jing showed joy in their eyes.

He clenched his fists tightly.

It comes from "Chai Tou Feng" sung by Han Jiayin, which is originally a higher-pitched song.

It is also an art song that uses ancient poetry. Although the pronunciation is clear, it is still a little difficult to recognize compared to some lyrics of pop songs.

Chen Jun was able to understand the content of the lyrics step by step.

It was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Do you think there's something wrong with this piece of music? For example, it suddenly feels empty, or some parts are blurry? Or it's hard to identify?"

After getting Fang Wen's signal.

Li Can then started to ask.

Chen Jun is a college student. Although he is hearing-impaired, he is not stupid and has no difficulty in describing his basic perceptions.

It can even be said to be very detailed.

"This piece of music sounds very complete to me, but the word [li] sounds very empty and hard to recognize. There is no problem with other parts, including the accompaniment, which can be heard clearly."

Chen Jun was also a little excited.

A complete song.

Even if it's not perfect.

But this feeling rarely happens.

Look at Chen Jun’s performance.

Fang Wen started asking.

"Li Can, what is the approximate range of your section?"

"All compressed between 200 and 800 hertz."

Li Can spoke.

"But since the word [li] is indeed written higher, Han Jiayin changed the cavity sound in this paragraph, and the proportion of overtones is higher. Even after compression, there will be a lot of overtones exceeding 1000 Hz."

"That's probably why you can hear it, but it's so empty."

Tu Jing nodded in understanding.

Not only is there no regret, but it becomes more refined.

In other words.

Li Can’s idea of “low-frequency music” is completely valid!
"Yes, that is to say, some current songs can be more complete if they are compressed to low frequencies, but they are still limited. The hearing-impaired group needs to be taken into consideration when composing the songs."

Li Can nodded.

I feel more relaxed.

"That is to say, there is indeed a solution, and this solution is indeed useful."

"Great!"

Tu Jing became even more excited.

It just didn't show.

After all, this is just an example.

Next, more examples are needed.

The difficulty of producing low-frequency songs is actually much higher than what Li Can described.

When only low frequencies are considered, the music will inevitably lose a great deal of dynamic range, and will also lose a considerable amount of timbre and musical information.

This is completely unavoidable.

After all, vegetarian meat is just soybeans that imitate the texture of meat, and it is not the same as meat.

But what Li Can has to do is to imitate as many meat tastes as possible.

Whether it is difficult or not depends on your level.

This seemed very magical to Tu Jing.

Different trades are indeed like different mountains.

Being able to make a song fully audible to a hearing-impaired person is like magic.

"You don't have any high frequency at all?"

"Of course not. It's impossible for music to have no high-end features at all."

Hearing Tu Jing's question, Li Can shook his head.

"What I need to consider is not to completely avoid high frequencies, but to think about what kind of impact the loss of high-frequency overtones and harmonics will have on the listening experience, and whether it will affect the integrity of the music."

Looking at Li Can's expression.

Tu Jing's face turned dark.

This kid still remembers the harmonic thing.

"Oh, yes, your harmonics. Oh, overtones, are inevitable. We just need to reduce the proportion of overtones as much as possible?"

"Yes, yes, there will definitely be some loss, but if the low frequencies are processed, the hearing-impaired can feel more and more complete music information as much as possible."

The two were recording excitedly.

When you raise your head.

But I saw Chen Jun in tears.

For ordinary people, perhaps there is no feeling.

But for a severely hearing-impaired person who has not heard a complete song for more than ten years.

These short fifteen seconds seemed like a gift from God that was more than ten years late.

This level of shock was like the whole world to Chen Jun.

"Why are you crying? Stop crying, man."

Li Can looked at Chen Jun, who was unable to control his emotions, chuckled and waved his hand.

"When we release an album of low-frequency songs, please remember to come and support us."

"must!"

Chen Jun nodded heavily.

People living in the daytime cannot see the existence of a beam of light, but in the darkness, a faint light is enough to be dazzling.

music.

For the first time, I lowered my head.

It can be heard completely by people living in the low-frequency world.

This was the biggest surprise for Chen Jun.

Next up.

There are uncles and children.

Through the descriptions of these patients' families, Li Can's idea of low-frequency songs became more and more perfect.

"It's really strange. Sometimes when I'm anxious, he can't hear me clearly when I call him, but when I speak softly, he can hear me clearly."

The old lady gave feedback to Fang Wen in confusion.

From time to time, he glanced at his wife.

I always feel that my spouse is deliberately controlling me.

It was only after the doctor interpreted it that I suddenly understood.

This is high-frequency hearing loss.

When I got anxious, my voice became higher and reached a range that my spouse couldn't hear.

On the contrary, after the sound is lowered, even whispering can be heard clearly. "Can the low-frequency hearing loss be replaced by high-frequency songs?"

Li Can couldn't help but have doubts.

But as the experiment progressed, Li Can gradually understood.

Low-frequency hearing loss can be recovered slowly. Moreover, even if the damage is irreversible, as long as the mid- and high-frequency hearing is still there, it will not be a big problem whether you are listening to music or in daily life.

Sometimes the bass is not audible and is fuzzy.

The limit is below 250 Hz.

But there is no obstacle to the reception of mid- and high-frequency.

If you wear a hearing aid.

The situation can be further improved.

It's like a hell of a joke that it doesn't matter whether the band has a bass or not. Without the bass, the band can still have a complete melody.

The real problem area is mid- and high-frequency hearing loss, which is also the largest problem group.

On the contrary, it is difficult for these groups to hear complete songs even if they wear hearing aids.

This time.

Things become simpler.

Standing too high, it is difficult to see the whole picture.

Then why not just lower your head and bend your waist a little?
“Okay, then the next album will be a low-frequency album.”

Li Can made a decision.

But there is no need to announce it widely at this time.

after all.

If there is no solution, it will arouse people's attention, which will be a harm.

It is better to create something and release it after it has passed collective experiments.

"Hearing impairment is called a disabled person who cannot see. In fact, this kind of people are not completely deaf, nor are they unable to feel sounds. This also causes them to suffer more sometimes."

After sending off all the test patients today.

Professor Fang Wen couldn't help but speak.

Just as being deaf does not mean being dumb, hearing impairment does not mean being deaf.

This is a vulnerable group, but it must never be exaggerated or treated as a marginal group.

It’s easy to get stuck in a loop of negative emotions.

The more you are hurt, the more anxious and depressed you are, the easier it is to be misunderstood and hurt.

“So, if you release a low-frequency album, I hope that you can, as a public figure, popularize it as much as possible to the public and help them get out of the dilemma of silence.”

“It’s not like they can’t hear anything, sometimes maybe they just need to change their perspective, like when you do these low-frequency music.”

Fang Wen smiled.

Requested to Li Can.

"Given the influence of your band, if you say one thing, it will probably be more effective than if we say it a hundred times."

"Of course, this is our responsibility."

Li Can nodded.

After learning the details, Li Can really found that things were not as difficult as he had imagined.

It’s just about active discovery.

It’s about taking the initiative.

Since no one has paid attention yet.

Then I will produce the world's first low-frequency song album myself to fill the musical gap for the hearing-impaired community.

Time passes slowly.

In a flash.

Lin Feng and Han Jiayin’s concerts have also come to Sichuan City.

Li Can, through a more systematic and extensive understanding, has more data samples and gained more experience in producing low-frequency songs.

The good news is.

in this period.

As many as 327 hearing-impaired people participated in the experimental test.

It includes different conditions such as mild, moderate, severe, and profound hearing loss.

Of course, there are many groups that have problems with one ear, and they provide different comparative descriptions of the two ears.

The experimental conclusions obtained are very gratifying.

The number of people who can hear the complete low-frequency songs through their hearing-impaired ears is as high as over 92 percent.

This number will increase further if it is possible to design directly from the composition and arrangement.

Even among people who wear hearing aids or cochlear implants, some patients have recovered well and can fully perceive songs through the easier-to-perceive low-frequency bands.

at this time.

Li Can rushed to Sichuan City.

Found Lin Feng.

"Brother Feng, sing a song for me."

"Row."

Lin Feng nodded and took the singing score curiously.

He knew exactly what Li Can was doing recently.

It seemed that a special solution had been found, and Lin Feng was also very curious.

With just a quick glance, Lin Feng realized the problem.

"So low?"

In the music.

What is emphasized are the bass drums and bass.

The vocal range is also generally low.

Although there are still some high notes of the piano, they don't seem to appear much overall, and the sound level is very inconsistent with a normal song.

"What does this mean? There are high frequencies and a relatively high volume?"

If this song is a normal song.

That's very off balance between the speakers.

It can almost be seen as a negative example.

But if it is a song designed for low frequencies.

In a world where mid- and high-frequency sounds cannot be perceived.

Instead, it became a very cohesive song.

"Hearing loss in the mid- and high-frequency range does not mean that you cannot hear anything at all, but that you cannot hear clearly. Of course, there are cases where you cannot hear anything. However, after strengthening the sound effects, even if the sound is high, the overtones can be strong enough, and the low frequencies can also be modified."

Li Can chuckled.

The word "smart" is written all over his face.

"You will definitely feel uncomfortable and stuffy when listening to it, but if you only have low-frequency perception, it will feel better relatively speaking, and the most important thing is..."

“The music is complete.”

"Okay, okay! Brother Chan, I knew you had some tricks up your sleeve. Adding fractional multiplication to change the high frequency feeling, right?"

Lin Feng laughed.

Couldn't help but joke.

"Pharaoh will not forget any of his people."

"Brother Feng, I have another idea. How about setting up some barrier-free seats at your concert?"

Li Can pinched his chin and spoke thoughtfully.

"The proportion of disabled people in our country is 6.34 percent, so let's leave 6 percent of the seats vacant. It doesn't matter if someone comes or not, but we can't be without them."

"I think that maybe many people are not unwilling to come to the scene, nor do they have money, but it is really inconvenient and they don't have the opportunity. However, during this period of time, when I communicated with the hearing-impaired, I found that they actually want to participate in this kind of activity very much."

"On the contrary, I am more persistent than ordinary people, but I am trapped in reality."

"I think it's okay, let's try it, it's no big deal."

Lin Feng thought carefully for a moment and spoke.

"Then I'll give priority to recording this song. Can you find a chance to sing it?"

"Don't prioritize it, just practice now."

".You he."

After everything is preset.

Li Can began to produce the album.

have to say.

The production of pure low-frequency songs also has an impact on Li Can himself.

I take a break almost every half hour to suppress the nauseous feeling.

After getting used to listening to normally balanced songs, songs with only low frequencies will feel very unbalanced.

Of course, the impact is just an discomfort.

It will not cause harm to the ears.

The only problem is that the production cycle will be relatively longer.

Of course, Li Can does not plan to make this album himself.

After contacting Zheng Jie, Chen Meijing, Lin Xin, Huang Ya, and Yin Hong, everyone expressed that each of them would come up with a main song, produce low-frequency songs, and add them to the album.

After the basic architecture is determined.

This special album titled "Hearing" has taken shape.
