Two Hundred and Twenty Professional Discussions

"King of the Stage ()"

At this time, Ronan realized that Cliff was constantly winking at him, anxious and nervous, but Ronan couldn't read minds, and he couldn't understand Cliff's meaning, so he just shrugged at Cliff with puzzled eyes. shrugged:

What's wrong?

Cliff was a little frustrated, but he glanced at Curtis out of the corner of his eye, but he didn't dare to speak easily, and he didn't even dare to break the delicate atmosphere in the room. Sulk.

Ronan looked at Curtis following Cliff's line of sight, and now he came back to his senses and looked at Curtis carefully.

This is a man whose age is hard to tell. He looks about thirty or forty years old, but because of his messy beard and curly hair, two-thirds of his entire face has been covered. It's really hard to judge.

Also because the face is completely hidden behind the hair, so I can't see any expression, whether it's a smile or anger, I can't judge at all, I always feel as if I'm so serious without any expression all the time, it's daunting; plus The slovenly look is even worse, just wearing a white T-shirt with a slightly deformed neckline and cuffs, I don't know how many times it has been washed, and there is no shape at all.

Judging from the appearance alone, it is really difficult to make an accurate judgment. If it is not for the friendly reminder from the front desk just now, I am afraid that there is a homeless man sitting in front of him, which is also reasonable.

Because of Curtis's silence, the atmosphere in the room became serious. Cliff finally gave up his sulking, raised his head again, and kept winking at Ronan. The unfinished self-introduction and opening conversation just now—— Ronan and Curtis interrupted unexpectedly, and now it should continue.

But Ronan could still feel the emotional resonance emanating from the piano in his palm, as if he was communicating. This time, he didn't notice Cliff's eyes, and then Cliff winked at the blind man beside him. Really annoyed.

Just when Cliff was wondering if he should take the initiative to break the silence, Curtis spoke.

"However, such an arrangement is difficult to be recognized by the public." Curtis expressed his opinion.

Obviously, this is not the final version of the arrangement, and Ronan has no clear idea of ​​how it should be done, but Ronan did not object in a hurry, but raised his eyes, "Huh?"

Ronan also wants to hear professional opinions. After all, he is still in the learning stage on the road of creation and production, and listening to opinions is also an important learning method.

Curtis didn't care about Ronan's response at all, and said his thoughts directly, "If you are going to use strings to create a sense of architectural space like 'Chasing the Light', then this will appear thin. The "Chasing the Light" The emotions presented by the melody and lyrics are relatively pure and simple. When composing music, it is a smart way to simplify the complexity, but this melody just now cannot be like this."

After a pause, Curtis raised his eyes, "Have you considered using electronic music to arrange the music, adding the texture of space opera, but also increasing the thickness and power of the melody?"

The arrangement of "Chasing the Light" incorporates a lot of orchestral music, which is a very classical style; while the electronic music suggested by Curtis is very young and very loud, and more importantly, electronic music relies more on computers production, the live performance of the band cannot be done.

These are two styles and two directions of development. For the band, it is a completely different experience, but Curtis seems to have never considered the situation of the band, let alone Ronan's opinion, just expressing himself Opinions, just like this, are thrown out straight to the ball.

Maxim frowned slightly, thinking about arranging in the style of electronic music in his mind, and what the finished product would look like, but so far, the conceived versions are not very good, which makes Maxim Mu Junting's eyebrows were messily knotted.

And what about Ronan?

Ronan's eyes lit up, "I originally thought about using electronic music to complete all the arrangements, and using a disc player on the spot to increase the dreaminess of space and space, but then I realized that this arrangement is too much , firstly, it doesn’t suit our style, and secondly, we are not good at live DJing, what do you think, if we use electronic music as the second part, how about it?”

Electronic music into rock?

Thirty years ago, it would have been an expression of self-indulgence, and it was likely to become the object of contempt for all rock bands; but the times have changed, and now not only a new style of electronic rock bands has been born, but also Linkin Park, Coldplay, etc. Super popular rock bands like the band have also begun to explore the field of electronic music, and even incorporated rap, pop and other changeable styles to create a new type of music.

From "Inborn" to "Chasing the Light" to the song that has just been created, in fact, the One Day Kings still prefers the style of pop rock, continuing the previous style of music, but Ronan's creation is The band brings a more mature and deeper emotional expression.

Incorporating different elements such as electronic and rap is not surprising from the perspective of style and genre, but the key lies in how the band completes the arrangement.

As far as Ronan is concerned, the attempt to combine styles in arrangement is a creative adventure, which is very worth encouraging-don't forget that in the music market in 2020, new trends are sweeping the world, and Ronan has a A soul that has been baptized by continuous shocks.

Therefore, Ronan is very willing to try different combinations of elements. This is true for the orchestral music of "Chasing the Light", and it is also true for electronic music now.

"The second part? What about the main part?" Curtis was slightly surprised, because Ronan put forward different opinions, but they deduced them based on his own ideas, which seemed to be a step ahead of him. , He is also looking forward to the brainstorming of inspirational collisions.

Ronan shrugged and said lightly, "Use electric bass as the main instrument to increase the thickness of the whole melody, and then use electric guitar and drums to highlight the level of the main melody."

Maxim suddenly raised his head to look at Ronan, his eyes lit up, because he was Bess, and because Ronan's idea was bold...but interesting.

But Ronan scratched his head, "I'm not sure now, I haven't thought deeply about it yet, it's just a concept, because the song was just completed the night before, I don't have enough time to calm down and think about the arrangement .The effect of electric bass should be good, but still need to experiment. "

Sincere, true.

It is still Ronan's usual style, but having said that, there are many ideas in Ronan's mind, and he is very happy to share them.

"Actually, I still hope to be able to build a sense of architectural space with a sense of melody, but compared with 'Chasing the Light', a little deeper, the space of this song is more magnificent and majestic, so the arrangement can be more complex and more Be fancy."
