Chapter 1246： classical instruments

The fourth update today, please recommend, please subscribe!

When it comes to Western classical musical instruments, the first people that come to mind are Beethoven, Chopin, Bach and others. It seems that classical musical instruments exist in symphony and become the main component of symphony orchestra. Among the Western classical musical instruments, the piano is the most widely used in pop music, but even so, musical instruments such as violin, flute, cello, horn, oboe, harp and the like seem to be incompatible with popular music.

Evan Bell boldly used classical instruments such as cello and horn when he composed "The old love is dead, so this song is generally considered to be full of personality, but also too classical, even a little weird. Sales, of course, have also been affected.

In the choice of musical instruments for musicians in the Republican era, Evan Bell saw classical instruments such as viola and carillon, and they were still somewhat unpopular classical instruments. Therefore, this makes the music of the Republic era exude a special temperament of classical pop. It was this quality that set the music of the Republican era apart. But the problem is that in the republican era, there was such a challenge, but the melody produced did not carry forward the functions of these instruments, but was limited to a framework, which made their musical creativity more than enough, and lack of sincerity , it always makes people feel that a trigger point for a chemical reaction is missing.

Evan Bell encountered this feeling many times in the process of creation, for example, "Huānianhua's changes and use of drums, such as the use of guitars, drums, and piano rendering in "Dest" The atmospheric background music, for example, "Old Love Is Dead" combines the cello with the melody.

Evan Bell has a little idea after watching the rehearsal of the Republican era today. He found that the use of classical instruments in the Republican era seems to be a bit misguided. More importantly, the cello that made the Republican era shine in the past life did not. Appearing in the band, Evan Bell doesn't know what's going on here. Either they haven't found the right cellist, or they don't realize the chemistry of the cello with their musical style, or they simply don't realize the auxiliary role of classical instruments in their band's style. However, at the time of the rehearsal, Evan Bell had to focus on the overall rehearsal of the entire stage. So I haven't said it. Now that the concert is over, and Ryan Ted just mentioned it, Evan Bell naturally said it directly.

"Your music is different from the roughness of the general bands in the United States. The delicateness in the melody is better, and your voice is closer to the temperament of British rock. Of course, the sense of firmness and toughness when you scream is also It's in place." Evan Bell said his feelings with a smile. "I personally think that you, like the Magic Red Band, attach great importance to the sense of rhythm, but you are different from the Magic Red Band. The Magic Red Band's music places great emphasis on the rhythm of drums and bass, which has a great impact on their music. The brightening effect. The music of the Republican era is lack of this kind of brightening detail. So I want to ask: Why do you use classical instruments, and how important is this to your music?"

Ryan Ted bit his lower lip. Evan Bell's question reverberated in his mind, his thoughts rolling. Ryan Ted looked up at Evan Bell subconsciously, as if seeking an answer from Evan Bell. But Evan Bell curled his lips and raised his hands in surrender, "I've said enough, the rest is up to you." After speaking, he left the lounge, leaving only Ryan Ted stood there thinking alone.

Today's American music still occupies a leading position in the world. There has been a saying in the industry that "Billboard songs can easily dominate the British pop charts, but songs on the British pop charts are difficult to be in front of the billboard. Ten places occupy the place." Although this sentence is not 100% accurate, in a sense, it also shows the centrality of American music in the world.

It is conceivable that in the fierce competition in the American music industry, it is difficult for new singers to stand out, and the backbone is always vigilant. The old-fashioned forces are old and strong. In such a fierce environment, it is also necessary for the big record companies to follow the popular market, because commercial interests are the first rule, which also makes the American music industry inevitably lose its musicality. The oscillating between popularity and quality of American music can also be seen as a helpless compromise of the current state of American music.

In the past four years, newcomers have emerged constantly, such as Linkin Park, Avril Lavigne, Alicia Keys, Nora Jones, John Mayer... These names have appeared in front of the public, or pop or music, always. Is able to occupy the line of sight for a period of time. But now, Linkin Park is one of the best live performance groups in the world, focusing on concert tour performances; Alicia Keys, John Mayer, Avril Lavigne are gradually moving towards the mainstream; La-Jones has a high and low profile, and sales have always been difficult to reach the lobby. In this situation, it was Evan Bell, who was full of personality when he debuted, and persevered.

Today's Evan Bell is indeed a wonderful person in the American music industry. Three albums have created sales of 60 million, and more importantly, among the new producers: Tim Baran , Kanye West, William Evan Bell has quietly entered the top ranks, his sensitivity to music is staggering, and the quality of music makes the discerning Grammy judges and listeners willing to bow down.

Evan Bell's current power is not something that can be built up by the media after three days and two times. It is more dependent on the precipitation of time. Evan Bell has accumulated little by little with his own strength. Excellent strength, keenness The touch, the deep emotion, this is the real reason why Evan Bell is where he is today.

The layman watches the fun, the layman watches the doorway. Ryan Ted has been rolling in the music circle for more than five years. Although he has always been in the outer position, Evan Bell's talent is obvious to all. Even so, today Ryan Ted learned that Evan Bell was able to reach the current position in the position of producer, and it was definitely not for nothing. Evan Bell's grasp of the music style of the Republican era is clearer than that of his band producer, and the musical characteristics of the Republican era band are even more obvious in one sentence, which made Ryan Ted fall into contemplation.

Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books. This kind of thing doesn't just happen in novels. This is true of music creation, as is the study of acting skills. A good mentor can definitely benefit students a lot. Evan Bell learned from Travie Nann and laid a solid Broadway foundation, and then dealt with Meryl Streep, Robin Williams, Nicolas Cage, Hans Zimmer, All are veterans in the industry. That's why Evan Bell is where he is today. Now, Ryan Ted, like Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars, stands behind Evan Bell and becomes the first "students" to benefit from Evan Bell.

The liveliness of the Rose Bowl Stadium has long since dissipated, Evan Bell and others went back to rest long ago, and Ryan Ted was driving in Los Angeles late at night. Ryan-Ted just felt that there were countless thoughts in his head, about the republican era, about classical instruments, about musical styles... In fact, these things are very simple to say, it is a matter of inspiration, but in fact it is very complicated, because the inspiration of The source is not only talent, but also my deep understanding of music theory, musical instruments, and style. Genius is not omnipotent, and genius also needs to read and learn. Ryan-Ted only felt that there was only a thin layer of window paper left in front of him, but he couldn't find a way to pierce it.

Ryan - Ted's thinking has continued until the sun rises the next day, and then waits until the sun sets. Evan Bell's second night at the Rose Bowl Stadium ended very smoothly. The enthusiastic sea of ​​110,000 spectators completely set the Rose Bowl Stadium on fire since the 1994 World Cup ended here. , It has been ten years since Rose Bowl felt such a hearty [excitement]. And today, Evan Bell called out the frenzy in the bones of the stadium.

The "first" world tour in the U.S. has come to a successful conclusion, and Republic Times has completed all of their two concerts, and Republic Times even saw Eleven's lead, Sean Mayer, but Ryan - Ted is still a little uneasy, he has never found a breakthrough.

Even seeing Blake Lively come to congratulate Evan Bell on the successful conclusion of the concert such gossip did not awaken Ryan Ted's interest. Seeing that Evan Bell seemed to be leaving, Ryan Ted found Evan Bell after hesitating again and again, showed an apologetic smile to Blake Lively who was standing next to him, and then said, "Evan Bell. Wen, I need a key." The key here refers to the key, a point of inspiration.

Evan Bell raised his eyebrows, "Ryan, I didn't know you were such a anxious person?" The subtext was that Ryan Ted had waited for the previous five years, so why are you so anxious now. But Evan Bell understands this sentiment, it's as if success is imminent -- purely musical success, not commercial success like an album -- which makes it all the more urgent.

If Ryan Ted was inside Eleven Creations, there would be many partners to discuss together, which would be much more convenient. But now Ryan Ted isn't at 10 Princes Street in New York, so Evan Bell takes out his phone. "You turn on the bluetooth, and I'll send you a piece of music."

Ryan Ted couldn't wait to accept it, and while Evan Bell was still in front of him, he clicked on it and heard this familiar and unfamiliar melody "This is... cello?"
