Chapter 1468: Elegant and vulgar
The singing is over.
However, the melody and afterglow still circling in the heart, shocking stirring up layers of ripples.
It's so simple, a piano and a voice; but it's so majestic and so rich, one after another, until the scalp is completely numb.
Is this a folk song? Or popular?
But is this important?
Music genres never matter, what matters is the music and the emotions hidden in it, and the resonance and power they awaken.
The room was a little quiet.
Mike and Dustin are knowledgeable and neither of them are fledgling rookies; but they are still uncontrollably involved in the storm.
He was absent-minded and lost, just sitting there blankly.
Can't make a sound.
Like a fool.
Music is music, and the chemical reactions that collide with notes and lyrics are on the one hand, while singing with ease and just right is on the other hand.
There is no doubt that this is worthy of affirmation; but considering the emergence of "Wake Me", Mike and Dustin are not so stunning.
What is really shocking is that Anson shows a new look again.
Here, there is no intention to look down on Ansen, not a single point. On the contrary, this is a kind of praise; but no one can deny that the emergence of "midsummer midnight" is more due to innovation.
Myers' cello undoubtedly plays a key role, and the fusion of multiple instruments is used in songs such as "Roar Hey", "Long Live Life" and so on -
Just like Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody".
Every era has its own subversion and innovation. These musical creations appear kindly in a manner that breaks the rules and traditions. People's first reaction is instinctive rejection; however, once accepted, the uniqueness brought by freshness and innovation can easily destroy all cognition.
So, he worshiped him and even pushed him to the altar.
Innovation is indeed a feat.
But at the same time, in the bustling crowd of praise, there is inevitably another view: the so-called innovation is not as good as the winner or loser in the position of tradition, classics, and righteousness. Only then can we choose ghost paths, side doors, and shortcuts to make a clever breakthrough, which is not a real skill worthy of recognition.
Anson?
An actor, and he is just a vase. The so-called musical talent is over-the-top. Ansen still relies on gimmicks. He needs to use various instruments, fancy arrangements and gimmick performances to show his own strengths. This is the same as Ansen's film works:
publicity. marketing. Build momentum.
Rather than saying that Ansen is a genius, Ansen is an excellent product manager. He knows how to package himself and how to package products. Most importantly, Ansen knows how to position and promote it. This is the key to Ansen's success so far.
Just a business operation.
The same is true for actors; the same is true for singers.
The above statement exists objectively.
Although it is not mainstream, this is the case in the eyes of some senior Hollywood officials and professionals—
There is no meaning of contempt.
The point is that the success of Tom Cruise and Will Smith are all in this model, and Anson's reaching the top is the same rule.
Therefore, true professionals appreciate Anson's success very much, but they will not deify Anson, nor will they worship him.
To a certain extent, Mike and Dustin agree with some but not part of it. In their opinion, Anson is indeed talented, and the music of "Midsummer Midnight" is not simply "patch together and gimmick". People who truly understand music know that the so-called innovation is not that simple. Not to mention the others, before meeting Anson, Miles and the others had been studying for several years, trying to incorporate cello into rock, but never succeeded. This is intuitive evidence.
But from another perspective, Mike and Dustin also believe that this is what Anson is good at, and this is where Anson's talent lies, so Anson should continue to explore this route and continue to explore this path when he switches from a band to an individual. The use of musical instruments should be the focus.
However, they were wrong-
So far, all the three songs played by Anson are stripping away from the cumbersomeness, minimizing the effects brought by the instruments and arrangements as much as possible, and returning to the instrument itself; and also simplifying the instruments as much as possible, and then trying to make the audience seek resonance from the lyrics through the collision of singing and melody.
Both are professionals, and you can feel Anson's intentions at once:
Lyrics are crucial.
Or to put it another way, the resonance between lyrics and notes is the key point.
This was definitely something they had not expected. Who would have thought that Anson's personal music would take such a route? If the first two songs were unclear, the power conveyed by the third song was already convincing enough. This is where Mike and Dustin were really shocked.
Most importantly, now they finally understand Anson's creative style.
The genre, not the point, pop, folk, rhythm and blues, more or less contain some, just like the band's music on August 31.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Melody, lyrics, emotions, these are.
Moreover, Anson is not ready to discuss music at the artistic level like the Beatles' "White Album" and Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody".
Ansen still did not lose the delicateness and sincerity that awakened the market resonance, and even became more approachable on the basis of "midsummer midnight" -
The elegant and vulgar, and the elegant and the common people appreciate each other. After stripping away those fancy gimmicks, the music seems to be able to truly touch the soul, allowing the audience to seek a moment of peace in the night after a tired day of busyness and hustle and bustle, listening to the melody and voice, and the soul can find a place to live.
At this moment, after calming down a little, An Sen's two songs played before reminiscing again. The delicate and rich emotions remained at the tip of his tongue, and the quiet and elegant melody actually woke up in his mind.
Originally, they despised those melodies as melodies, but now it seems that they are frogs in the well.
But why didn't Anson play this song from the beginning?
Whether it is the melody, lyrics, or the climax arrangement of the chorus part, this song comprehensively shows Anson's qualities as a musician-
Just like “Wake Me”, a heavy punch is not only impressive, but also profound aftertaste, ensuring that every listener will not forget his existence.
A little stunned, his thoughts turned in his mind, and Mike had already reacted:
I'm afraid, this is Anson's purpose.
As a single singer, after leaving the band's creative form, Anson was not without ideas about his musical form and path.
Anson is ready to return to nature, explore the resonance of instruments and notes, and use lyrics as bridges to establish connections between different souls. Those listeners not only look up at the performers, but also use music as an opportunity to enter their own world and explore the ups and downs and ravines deep in their souls.
Music, it can cross various boundaries, race, gender, age, culture, language, etc., and find the same feedback in different people.
In the final analysis, it is because of its melody, its rhythm, its emotions.
Anson, ready to return to the origin.
