King of Stage

Chapter 45: Concentrate

"...How, is this effect better?" Ollie completed the action of opening the door without any delay, turned around seamlessly, joined the ranks of the band members again, and his eager words immediately followed the rhythm. For fear that his departure may delay the progress of the band.

   Ronan sitting at the end of the bed did not answer. Instead, he raised his hand and made a silent motion, listening to Cliff and Maxim's performance.

Cliff is playing on an electric guitar, Maxim is playing bass, Ronan's hands are on the keyboard, keeping his head in the air without falling, tilting his head slightly, listening to his ears, his focused face revealing thinking. The look was not interrupted by Alice's visit.

   Ollie didn’t mind Ronan’s actions, and immediately closed his mouth, walked to another bed gently, and then picked up his snare drum—

   The area of ​​the motel’s room was too narrow, and the drums could not be moved in, so Ollie took two snare drums as a substitute.

   Ollie cast a gaze towards Cliff and Maxim, "...again, starting from the first eight beats. I cut in from the fourth eight beats."

Without further explanation, they quickly entered the state and resumed the exercise. The concentration in their sights did not detect the tiredness of staying up all night, but their bloodshot eyes still told what happened last night, which is obviously It was a night full of collision sparks.

   Bingzhuye talks that stayed up all night brought them into a state of selflessness, even the arrival of Alice could not break the concentration in the room.

   Following Ollie's footsteps into the room, Alice's lens captures the busy and compact picture of the room.

Although there were countless question marks in Alice's head at this time, she couldn't keep up with the rhythm; but she immediately captured the atmosphere in the room, so she closed her mouth wisely, quietly closed the door of the room, held the camera, and stood behind the door. In the blind spot, there is no time to find the right angle and light, as far as possible to avoid disturbing their work in progress, just silently complete the recording with the lens.

In fact, after Alice stood still, she was thinking about how to frame the shot and how to compose the picture. However, considering that her actions might cause interference, she put forward several different plans in her mind, and then she rejected them all. In the end, Alice Si simply stood in place to shoot, temporarily gathering those thoughts, and focusing on the scene that was unfolding before her eyes.

   melody is becoming a song.

If the singing that Alice heard last night was primitive, sincere, and moving, and the deep emotions in the melody can already be felt without being polished; then, the song that is gradually taking shape in front of you is complete. , Rich, and authentic, only musical instruments are played and no lyrics are sung, but Alice's mind can still automatically show Ronan sitting next to the swimming pool singing alone.

   is still simple and simple, but can really feel the chemical reaction from scratch.

   This is a process of turning decay into magic! Alice doesn't want to and can't miss it. For documentaries, sometimes the story itself is more important than the composition.

   is like now.

More importantly, this kind of process is still "in progress". The four band members exchange opinions with each other and then gradually make detailed adjustments. After almost every performance, they must stop and discuss. Almost every time someone needs it after the rehearsal. Make adjustments-no one can be an exception, four people are running in.

   It is not easy, but the atmosphere is very hot.

It can be clearly felt that Ronan and Ollie and Maxim’s opinions are evenly matched, and each time they actively express their views to urge each other to make progress. Although Ollie and Maxim are more correct when they are right, Ronan still does not. Being discouraged, I always make my own voice unswervingly, as if...is learning and growing.

Alice likes moments like this. Even though the motel room has no beauty at all, and there is no time to adjust the lighting and angles, etc., the picture can still capture the beautiful moments dedicated to work, and the simple and messy surroundings show it. More real.

Unknowingly, the existence of Alice was forgotten-even Ollie completely forgot that he had just opened the door to welcome Alice's appearance. In this way, the existence of the camera was completely forgotten, and the band members entered. The state of ecstasy, showing the most authentic appearance.

   stayed up all night.

After a whole night of work all night, the "inborn" arrangement work is finally coming to an end. The collision of different ideas and thoughts makes the inspiration continue to burst, and the passage of time loses its meaning, even the sense of hunger. If you can't feel it, you will truly enter a state of sleepless sleep and food.

   Regarding the arrangement, Ronan’s idea finally convinced his teammates, but at the same time he also made concessions and compromises—

   replaces the acoustic guitar, and chooses the electric guitar as the cut-in.

   In this way, it was possible to guarantee the effect Ronan expected, and to avoid the situation that Ollie was worried about, and the matter was solved perfectly.

   Not only that, but UU reading www.uukanshu.com has also made many adjustments to the concept of how to choose musical instruments and how to match musical instruments.

Starting with a cappella, the electric guitar is then assisted in cutting in; then the snare drums are added to create a heartbeat effect, but as far as possible to avoid overwhelming people, but to weaken their sense of existence; followed by bass, then bass The bass drum... just build up layer by layer.

   When entering the chorus, the piano sound cuts in to create a sense of hierarchy and three-dimensionality, and the magnificence of the melody can be vividly embodied, allowing all the emotions in the lyrics to be released.

   The framework and concept are Ronan’s ideas, but many adjustments have been made in the details. Both Maxim and Ollie gave many good opinions.

This is the first step after determining the choice of instruments one after another; then you need to write a corresponding melody for each instrument. The melody scores of different instruments are different, especially the more instruments there are, the more clear the score is needed. Only in this way can the layers be rich and clear and three-dimensional.

Throughout the whole night, they have been perfecting the above work, and finally completed the creation and arrangement of the entire song, and finally they were able to enter the actual combat exercise, which is the coordination of the instruments, including strength, rhythm, volume, and emotional expression. Wait, all need to be adjusted.

   "Playing the melody through the instrument, but also need to ensure that these melody can fit together, the mixture becomes a whole of inspiration collision."

   This is the soul of the band's live performances, and it is also the part that the band needs to keep in constant practice and rehearsal.

  For the One Day King Band, they have enough tacit understanding, but to rehearse a new song, the most important thing is that it takes time to run in—

   And this is precisely what they lack now.
