Six Hundred and Eighty Seventh Small Progress
"...6415?" Cliff raised his eyebrows slightly. Even though he has no creative ambitions, it doesn't mean he has no common sense of creation. Some unfamiliar and familiar chords caught his ears, and he said them immediately My own speculation, trying to join this creative brainstorm.
Ronan propped his chin with his right hand, listened very carefully, and did not answer Cliff's question.
Aware of Cliff's gaze, Ollie nodded slightly in affirmation, but didn't say much.
"6415" is the famous universal chord in pop music, and it is used too frequently. Now Maxim also uses this chord to compose a song.
Although Ronan and Ollie didn't say much, Maxim was still a little embarrassed, and glanced at Cliff out of the corner of his eye, "...a little inspiration, but I tried a few chords and was not satisfied, and finally 6415 is suitable , I finished the creation in one go, so I recorded it.”
In the past, of course, Maxim also tried universal chords, but the overall effect still did not bring surprises, so now?
After finishing speaking, Maxim's gaze drifted towards Ronan again from the corner of his eye. He was a little curious about Ronan's evaluation.
Ronan was still listening intently, and after waiting for the playback to finish, he played it again.
Maxim was slightly agitated.
There are more than 30 pieces of his composition, and Ronan has already listened to half of them, but he only listened to each piece once, and then marked a bunch of incomprehensible symbols on the tablet, until this one, using "6415" Ronan listened to the repertoire created by universal chords for the second time.
What does this mean?
Maxim is a little unsure about Ronan's attitude towards universal chords. Ronan usually likes the works created by those universal chords very much. "Apology" in the Republican era is a work that Ronan personally likes so much. He even once I want to cover this song on the tour stage.
However, Ronan seldom used universal chords when creating music, especially the album "Seven". Even the "Falling Up" which is the closest to pop rock was not used, but the music was constructed with complicated and complex chords. space, which also makes the album highly praised by professionals.
So, what does Ronan think of Maxim's creation with universal chords? Furthermore, what is Ronan's attitude towards the King for a Day singing these works? Covers and original works are different after all. Maxim is also not sure what style their new album will be.
Uneasy mood, ups and downs.
But Maxim still forced himself to calm down and maintain a proud attitude, don't be overjoyed to flatter Ronan because of a little move, he also has his own dignity, okay?
"Ollie?"
"Yes." After all, Maxim couldn't control it, and he blurted out the answer, and then Maxim could feel Oli's eyes full of question marks, and he could only pretend to be calm, as if he didn't understand what was going on. Generally, try to make a calm and breezy gesture, "How do you feel?"
Ronan turned his head and looked over, glanced at Maxim, with a smile in his eyes, but he didn't pierce Maxim's mask, he just asked, "I want to see the effect of adding drum beats, you can according to the The feeling of the song part, give me a little inspiration according to my own ideas."
Ronan is creating all the musical instruments and chords of the band, but today is a little different. The presence of "6415" universal chords is too strong, and the thoughts in my mind are easily solidified.
Or it may be biased by other classic tracks. If you don't pay attention, it will either become a soulless assembly line product, or there will be suspicion of plagiarism, and these two possibilities are what Ronan hopes to avoid.
Therefore, Ronan did not rush to create drum chords by himself, but waited for the collision of inspiration from his teammates, looking forward to finding more sparks within the framework.
"Ahem." Maxim cleared his throat to hide his nervousness, "Ollie, it's up to you, the old partner is looking forward to a new chemical reaction."
There was a smile in Ollie's eyes, "Just look at what's in my head now."
In the past, Ollie and Maxim were the main creations of King One Day. Among them, Ollie was better at writing lyrics, and Maxim was better at composing music. However, the two did not stipulate their job responsibilities, and there were many times when they exchanged jobs and collided with inspiration. , The two are indeed old partners.
Cliff looked at Maxim with a half-smile, a smile flowed from the depths of his eyes, and the light of jokes flickered faintly.
Maxim gave Cliff a hard look, then quickly looked away, rubbing Ollie's shoulders while escorting Ollie into the recording room.
Turning around, Maxim could see the rippling smile in Ronan's eyes. He couldn't help coughing awkwardly, and raised his jaw on purpose, "The return of a genius, what's so interesting? I should have known that I was a genius before." Bar."
Ronan nodded again and again in agreement, "Dear Lord Maxim, welcome back."
Maxim raised his head and chest exaggeratedly, walked behind Ronan with his toes high and high, and then exhaled quietly, looked at the recording room with burning eyes, waiting for Ollie's performance, and suddenly felt a sudden cardiac arrest. Suffocation.
Although Ronan didn't say much, actions are more efficient and direct than words.
In Ronan's view, Maxim has indeed made a small progress, the same pop rock, the same universal chords, but the texture of the arrangement has undergone subtle changes, it is difficult to accurately describe the listening experience in words, the only thing that can be sure Surprisingly, this time Maxim caught the ear.
However, it is still a bit rough at present, how to improve it in the future, and how to go further, how to arrange music, there is still a lot of room for development.
Therefore, Ronan didn't say much, and went directly to the creative process to see what the collision of different inspirations within the band could bring.
"Ollie?"
Ronan was calm and calm. After pressing the call button, he raised his voice to ask.
Ollie made an "OK" sign, let out a long breath, and even juggled the drumsticks. It can be seen that Ollie is also slowly getting out of the haze, plunged headlong into the world of music, and found himself here again, and now his whole body muscles have relaxed.
Then, Ronan hit play, and the melody echoed through the studio for the third time.
Ollie didn't beat the drums impatiently, but kept listening intently, feeling the notes jumping on the surface of the skin and surging deep in the blood, and the beating and impact of the heart fit the rhythm, as if the soul was deeply integrated into it Generally, sparks burst out in the mind——
Boom!
The drumbeat fell.
It wasn't until the chorus that Ollie's drum beats appeared, as dense and fast as rain hitting the beach, but the volume remained in the midrange to bass range, as if... the heart was beating.
bang bang!
bang bang!
The drum beats hit the heart one after another like this, venting down overwhelmingly at a frequency approaching one hundred and twenty beats per minute.
