Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 229 Winnie: What does his tiredness have to do with me?
"No, metal is metal, but it doesn't necessarily conflict with electrons."

Sophia shook her head.

“You know, electronic music is an element, but rock music is an expression of attitude.”

"So this is your angle. I understand."

Patch suddenly realized.

In fact, it's not just DP, many bands in the circle are studying electronic music, including Metal Storm themselves.

There are even many bands that are actively seeking change and experimenting.

Rock is constantly evolving.

From its initial creation to the present day, the elements added to it are quite broad.

Electronic synthesizer sounds produced by keyboards are also quite common.

The band is developing.

Innovation and trends are topics that can never be avoided.

Since the metal storm has been passed down for so many generations, the musical styles and trends have been constantly changing.

Especially since the advent of the Internet age, music has changed very rapidly. Bands that cannot keep up with the times, no matter how famous or excellent they are, are destined to be eliminated by the market.

No artist will be conservative. Being conservative is tantamount to seeking death, and is not the attitude of an artist.

"DP's attempt is quite exaggerated, but it is overshadowed by their multi-element style. They are not just electronic sounds, but a whole transformation, an electronic transformation that is completely beyond the scope of rock, but the core of the band has not changed."

Sophia shook her head and spoke softly.

“It’s hard to even call it electronic rock. In the arrangement, you can feel the riffs that are common in rock music. The expression is very rock, but in terms of its essential sound quality, whether it’s the use of electronic sound effects or the distorted sampling of vocals, it’s very electronic.”

"This should have something to do with Li Can's classical background."

Hearing this, Patch couldn't help but think about it.

“We retained some of the band’s characteristics so that people know it’s the band that’s playing the music, but we made new attempts in many aspects, especially when combined with the e-sports theme, the electronic content is very high.”

"This isn't the first time DP has done this."

"Ah."

Sophia nodded.

"Bury the Light has strong electronic elements and a very classical arrangement. Coincidentally, it is also a joint game for music production. Perhaps in Li's eyes, games will be the best glue to combine rock and electronic music."

"If Devil May Cry was more rock music, then League of Legends is more electronic music this time. They are also constantly changing and experimenting."

In the eyes of Sophia and Patch.

What you see is a different world.

Without games as a medium, rock and electronic music would be two different worlds, at least in the perception of their respective fans, the conflict is very serious.

This makes innovation very difficult and will encounter considerable resistance.

But if it's in the game.

It's completely different.

There is only one need for this type of music in the game.

"Burn!"

This is the best way to combine rock and electronic music. It is a natural match. After it is completed, rock fans will not react too much and electronic music fans will not be unhappy. On the contrary, due to the elements that they are familiar with and combined with the experience of the game itself, the acceptance will be greatly improved.

"DP did it anyway!"

"Then let's do it too."

Sophia and Patch looked at each other and nodded.

The band itself is seeking change, and since DP has set an example, it might not be a bad idea to follow suit.

The fan controversy that we originally had to worry about seems to have been diluted a lot by the theme of the game.

“Perhaps, in a few years, the metal storm will turn into an electronic storm.”

Patch couldn't help but make a joke.

Today, as the boundaries between music become increasingly blurred, the concept of a band is also quietly changing.

Two consecutive waves of collaborative games have made a certain degree of innovation in music and achieved huge success.

The DP band plays an important role in guiding and demonstrating the industry.

The essence of rock is the texture expressed by the music, which is also an attitude that is often mentioned.

It’s just that in different eras, even if the same core is expressed, there will be different means, which is why Metal Storm seeks change.

The attitude and musical texture of metal rock is very similar to the feeling of smashing a trash can.

In the past, perhaps it was just a solid wooden mop produced in 1983.

Now, it can also be the 2015 latest alloy steel household detachable and portable cleaning mop.

No matter what is used to smash the trash can, just ask whether it is broken or not. As long as it is broken, by watching the process of smashing the trash can in different ways, music fans will become more receptive to more ways of expression from their initial discomfort.

Just do it.

Like a metallic storm.

There are many bands that think this way.

After seeing DP band succeed again and proving that it was not a coincidence, more new changes began to occur in the musical style of the entire band circle.

For such a trend.

The industry is not completely without the psychological capacity to accept.

Even the head producers know it.

Such an era will come sooner or later.

It's just a matter of time.

But the problem is, there is an evil force in the music industry.

The transition period, which was originally expected to take at least five or six years, is accelerating rapidly.

Under the acceleration of the DP band.

The new era seems to have arrived much earlier than many musicians imagined.

Under the influence of Devil Power.

In every field.

Accelerated progress is underway.

In a situation where everyone is very uneasy.

Li Can, however, was very calm.

As if it was not affected at all.

It gives me a feeling of "I am causing trouble in the martial arts world but I am firmly in control of Diaoyutai, watching the changing situation with a smile."

It's just that the smile is a silly smile.

Li Can’s own people are definitely more aware of some of his ideas and changes in music.

Chen Gang, a keyboardist and electronic music enthusiast, was the first to ask questions.

"Brother Chan, I feel like the proportion of electronic elements in your music is getting heavier and heavier."

"Hey, you're right."

Li Can chuckled and nodded repeatedly.

"It's 2016 now, who doesn't have an electric plug in their home? The history of music is the history of chasing after timbre. If we don't chase after electronic timbre in the electronic age, do we still have to hand-polish different violins?"

"?"

Zhao Ze raised his head and looked at Li Can strangely.

Just talk about the matter. Why are you tagging my dear violin if there is nothing else?

"Brother Chan, please tell me and make up for the missed lessons."

At Chen Gang's suggestion.

Everyone looked up curiously, stopped what they were doing, and sat down near Li Can.

He looks like a good baby.

Learning and progress are a must, and a strong band cannot have any weaknesses.

The reason they have achieved such great success along the way is not because they are so awesome, but simply because they are under the influence of Li Can, their musical thinking is too advanced, the atmosphere is very exciting, and they have made rapid progress.

“There is only one kind of music in the future. I see the homogenization of music in the market as a reflection of the failure of this kind of music.”

"Calling it pop music may be misunderstood, so I'll use a different term, let's call it secular music."

Li Can smiled and said something that shocked the entire music industry.

"Secular music, that is, music that serves secular audiences, can be pop, rock, or electronic music. This is a concept rather than a genre. The form of expression is to combine different music usage scenarios and try to blur the boundaries between different styles of music." "Music will serve its carrier or the emotional expression of the story, rather than being limited to the genre."

"The audience will definitely be confused and differentiate between music styles and definitions. Labeling is a necessary factor for dissemination, but music creators cannot have these concepts. This is actually the same as the innovation in diet."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone immediately understood what Li Can wanted to express.

In this song, rock accounts for 60% and electronic accounts for 40%. It is hard to say what it is specifically, so the audience can only call it "electronic rock". But what Li Can wants to do is, I am % electronic, but with rock expression, you tell me what this should be?
If you say it's rock, it's definitely not rock, but if you say it's electronic, it's definitely not electronic either.

The main focus is to increase the intensity of the "music classification" work.

As the boundaries become more blurred, the boundaries of music are further blurred.

Butter, ketchup, mayonnaise, and chicken wings are marinated with Western spices, but they are braised in the Shandong style.

Western style grilled steak, but with soy sauce and five spice powder.

Do you think this is Chinese food or Western food?

What does it matter if Chinese food is Western food? As long as it tastes good, that's all.

Classification can be difficult.

But food can become more diverse.

This is in line with the current trend of globalization, diversification and integration in the world, which in itself is a kind of progress.

It is possible that a completely new genre will emerge in such development.

The reason why emphasis is placed on electronics.

It is precisely because electronics is the most intuitive representative of networking and also the most innovative sound.

The progress of music is the progress of timbre.

This has been true since ancient times.

What's more, even mainstream electronic music has more than a hundred styles, which is very suitable for diverse fusion attempts.

“So, we are often referred to as a part-time band, pop music.”

Chen Gang shrugged and made a joke.

Just as Li Can said.

It is indeed difficult for the platform to categorize songs produced by Li Can, and many people are so exhausted from trying to categorize them.

At the beginning, I studied in detail: "This is hard rock," "This is power rock," "This... forget it, let's call it alternative rock," "This is electronic."
Later I just stopped worrying about it.

[Fuck you, love is what it is, today Jesus comes and this is also pop music]

Even the fans themselves don’t understand the labels.

There has always been debate.

However, since Pharaoh Li Can shouted "I will sing the same song as Egypt" when he first appeared, as soon as the debate started, his core fans would end the topic.

[Egypt Bar is what it is, this is our DP band]

Such response to bands and works is rare in the entire music industry.

There is still debate.

However, the debate will change from "what style is this" to "Is it Egyptian?"

"I always feel like you want to play a hodgepodge."

"Not really, I just want to get into the electronic music scene for a bit."

Listening to Chen Gang's complaints, Li Can curled his lips and gave him a look that said "you know what I mean".

"I don't want to play the drums anymore. It's too tiring. How about playing DJing? Gangzi, how about we try it together?"

"."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone rolled their eyes.

"It's over, it's over, DP band is going to collapse, the leader is not doing his job and wants to play DJ, now DP band has a new leader, I think I'm pretty good"

"Chen Gang, you are usurping the throne, right? Even if you are the captain, it has to be Sister Winnie. The wife eats the husband's inheritance."

"No, I don't want it. We don't like this. I think we should give it to Chen Gang. The eldest son is more suitable to take over the inheritance."

All of a sudden.

The studio was full of complaints.

The discussion became increasingly abstract.

"I'm not kidding."

Li Can chuckled.

"In addition to the few common categories, if we really want to classify electronic music into different categories, we can at least classify it into hundreds of detailed styles. It also covers the most elements, which is very suitable for giving surprises to music fans."

Hear this.

Chen Gang couldn't hold it anymore.

No wonder Brother Chan wants to try his hand in the electronic music circle.

It turns out that he was attracted by Qufeng Xiaogui!

You know, the music genre with the most fans is not rock music, but electronic music.

There are only dozens of types of rock music?
The electron can be at least several hundred times larger.

"Brother Chan is very dissatisfied with Qu Feng Xiaogui."

Chen Gang curled his lips and couldn't help but complain.

"Why would you bother with someone who can expel all hip-hop artists from the electronic community?"

I heard this.

Li Can snorted coldly.

"Of course it's big!"

"What music producers do is just to use different elements and combinations to produce different textures, and to express emotions through their works so that the audience can feel them. The style of music is just to identify the general direction of the texture."

"We should never advocate for subdividing styles or criticizing music styles. This goes against the original intention of music."

"But there are many such people in the industry, whether it's the so-called seniors in the rock circle who say they don't like rock, or the rigid guys in the electronic music circle, they are the culprits of the hostility in the music review section, and the target is these idiots."

At this point, Li Can raised his eyebrows.

Although he was not widely persecuted by Qufeng Xiaogui because of his remarks in the Egypt Bar.

But it doesn't mean that we don't need to deal with these idiots.

DP is a very unique band.

There is a "hodgepodge" of music whose genres are hard to tell.

There are also some very clean and pure iconic works of the genre.

This has led some music genre defenders in the industry to say that it’s neither this nor that.

"Don't say so many high-sounding words. I think you just want to be lazy and don't want to play the drums anymore."

Lin Feng glanced at Li Can and snorted coldly.

"No matter how the band does it, it's still the same band. Electronic music has bass and electric guitar, and lead singers are common. Only you are the drummer, so the physical work is gone. Is that what you mean?"

"?"

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Li Can.

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

This may be outrageous if it is said about others, but it may be true if it is said about Li Can.

think carefully.

If you really play video games, who will benefit the most?

That must be the drummer!
It's not a bit of laziness.

"Yes, Brother Can, after going around in circles, isn't your map of Yan State a bit too long?"

"Hiss, I almost got fooled by you."

Could it be that Winnie consumed too much of Li Can's energy?
Think of this.

Everyone looked at Winnie at the same time.

"No! Why are you looking at me?"

Winnie's eyes widened.

Anxious.
