Adele Adkins looked at Evan Bell and sat down on his left. Although Evan Bell signed Adele Adkins himself, due to Evan Bell -Bell is a very busy person. Even if he was free during the winter vacation at the beginning of the year, he did not have many opportunities to meet Adele Adkins. Therefore, Adele Adkins and Evan Bell are still not counted. Familiar, on the contrary, she knew Ryan Ted Bruno Mars very well

Evan Bell couldn't help but think that Ryan Ted was involved in the production of Adele Adkins' album in his last life, and the two of them were in the same company all their lives. Is this a fate?

After Katy Perry entered Eleven Studio, today was the first time she saw Evan Bell. She heard a lot of consultation on the internal communication of Eleven's creation, but she didn't know when Evan Bell really appeared. What kind of situation is it, so I didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, just sat beside Adele Adkins a little cautiously, which was very inconsistent with her usual personality. During this period of time in the studio, she saw many talented people, and it also opened up her new understanding of the music world.

Ryan Ted also stood up and gave up his seat to Bruno Mars, who sat down on Evan Bell's right hand, "Several songs by Bruno are actually good, but none of us. Knowing where and what is missing, I feel that it is almost a little bit and his style has not been settled. It seems that any style can be competent, but there is always a little bit of speciality, and the taste of imitation is still a little heavier.”

Ryan Ted is an excellent producer himself, and he is solely responsible for the music of the Republic Era, so he looks at the problem from the perspective of a producer, and Ryan Ted, who still has a lot of resonance with Evan Bell, said this. They did not shy away from Bruno Mars, obviously they have discussed these things before and Bruno Mars has no surprises

Evan Bell only had time to nod to show his understanding, Bruno Mars turned his head, glanced at Evan Bell, then clicked play, and the music streamed from the studio speakers

The recording studio on the third floor of No. 10 Prince Street can be regarded as one of the most expensive corners of Studio Eleven. Evan Bell often buys some of the most advanced and excellent equipment, so that the recording studio is always up to date with the times. The equipment is becoming more and more complete. For example, this set of speakers that are playing music is specially customized for the famous British audio brand kef. When you put your eyes on, the immersive feeling is an excellent enjoyment

Bruno Mars looked at Evan Bell with some unease. Evan Bell closed his eyes and listened to his music with a completely intoxicated expression, but he never made any comments. He played a song every time he finished. After that, I will pause for a while, wanting to wait to see if Evan Bell will have a comment. After confirming that Evan Bell has no intention of speaking, he will continue to play the next song. To Bruno Mars's disappointment, he put all four After the songs were played, Evan Bell never spoke.

Bruno Mars is not the type of confidence-boosting type. Coupled with the suffering of the past few months, he feels even more beaten at this time, and the whole person is downcast. "Is this all?" Evan Bell The voice finally rang out and Bruno Mars raised his head and replied, "Yes, these are the four best songs in our opinion." When it came to the word "best", Bruno Mars only felt a little bit. soft mouth

Evan Bell opened his eyes and said seriously, "Play the third song again"

The flame that Bruno Mars had already extinguished suddenly became bright again, and he hurriedly played the third song again. Adele Adkins was somewhat surprised by Evan Bell's choice. In fact, these songs of Bruno Mars They've all heard the song many times, and she and Ryan Ted agree that the second one is the best, but Evan Bell noticed the third one and Adele Adkins couldn't help but read it. A glance at Katy Perry, Katy Perry said before, in fact, the third song is a very good song Now it seems that Katy Perry and Evan Bell have some similarities in their opinions , Adele Adkins could not help but listen carefully again

Katy Perry did not expect such a situation. She is still in the process of groping for music creation. She can only give an outline of Bruno Mars' music, it is more an intuition. It's really embarrassing to say one, two, three from a professional point of view, but I didn't expect that Katy Perry's intuition was recognized by Evan Bell today, which was a shock to her: Why does this song Will the song be favored by Evan Bell? Was it her luck or was her intuition right? Katy Perry didn't have any mood to relax, but instead frowned and stretched her ears, listening carefully to the song that Bruno Mars played again.

This song is not long, only about three minutes. After playing it again, Evan Bell said, "Don't you think that there are too many instruments in this song, but the melody is overwhelmed?" He is also expressing his own opinions, which may not be 100% accurate, but at least they can discuss with each other.

"Why? The piano, bass, drums, guitar, front and back, that is, the four instruments of the band, are there too many?" Ryan Ted was the first to say that they had discussed these details, but the final results were all the same. not as expected

Evan Bell shook his head, watching Ryan Ted's noncommittal attitude, he stood up directly and sat in front of the electronic keyboard next to him, "Bruno, what was your mood when you wrote this song? "

"Lonely?" Bruno Mars turned his chair to face Evan Bell

"I heard it from the lyrics" Evan Bell's sentence made Bruno Mars show a shy smile, "Since it is lonely, then you should simplify the melody and let the color of the instrument's essence stand out. , relying on the sound quality of the instrument to render the atmosphere, so the effect will be much better”

If Evan Bell heard it right, the third song just now is a song included in the album by the later Bruno Mars, called "Mochizuki Tells My Heart (ng..the.n, but this song 's reputation wasn't that big, and no singles were released in Evan Bell's memory, but the quality of the song was unquestionable

What Evan Bell heard now, there are still some problems in the arrangement. In addition to the overly complicated instruments, the essence of the whole song has not been fully captured. The lyrics are not the Nirvana in Evan Bell's memory, and even Julien The classic lyrics that recur in the chorus of "Mochizuki to the Heart" are also absent.

From the upward tone used by Bruno Mars when he answered "loneliness?" just now, it can be inferred that Bruno Mars' inspiration was relatively vague when he composed, so the whole style of music is still a bit complicated and a little floating. , This is the same reason that the song "Apologize" was created before using the cello as the main melody in the Republican era, but the expression of the problem is different. From this, it can be seen that Bruno Mars is immature. He is not completely sure After the style, there were too many distractions during the creation, which led to the integration of too many things into the whole song

In fact, after Bruno Mars became famous, his rich and varied styles have always been talked about by people, pop rock, reggae, rhythm and blues, soul, hip-hop... But Bruno Mars has distinguished and integrated these styles very well, When it's time, it's time for fusion. The whole creative idea is very clear and easy to handle. What Bruno Mars lacks now is this ability to distinguish and integrate, and it still takes time to settle down slowly.

An ability that any producer needs to have is to determine the exact positioning of the song, which style of song and which arrangement is most suitable? What kind of emotional expression is the most suitable way to play the song? In fact, the melody is simply that, but why can different notes be combined to create a completely different melody? In addition to the arrangement and combination of notes, the use and arrangement of musical instruments are also important factors.

In Evan Bell's view, Bruno Mars as the creator did not have an accurate positioning for the song "Mochizuki's Heart", which resulted in the true charm of the song being buried, and Ryan Ted did not interpret Bruno Mars. The true intention is that in the process of arranging the song, there will inevitably be some mistakes in judgment. If the arrangement is made simpler, and then a little more enriched according to the needs, the essence of the song will come to the surface.

Now what Evan Bell has to do is to return to the basics, and then start all over again, give Bruno Mars a little inspiration, and give everyone a little inspiration!

After Evan Bell finished speaking, he did not explain further, and played directly on the keyboard. Evan Bell did not use electronic sounds, but restored to the most basic piano keyboard sounds, and the whole cool feeling was revealed. , "I understand that you are no longer by my side, have left me, na na na... oh oh... Mochizuki pours out my heart, as long as you feel it..."

Evan Bell doesn't remember the lyrics very clearly, he just sang the parts he remembered, and hummed the other parts with the most basic onomatopoeia. Although the lyrics did not affect the expression of emotions, the onomatopoeia can still be used. Passing out the inner feelings, the coldness of loneliness and melancholy and the feeling of the piano keyboard sound similar to the moonlight are perfectly blended together

Watching Evan Bell present the most concise version of "Mochizuki Telling the Heart", several other people in the recording studio were all thinking about themselves and fell into their own thinking field.
