People like me, who have a certain "experience in listening to songs", always like to listen to the full album specifications more than others.
For example, listeners who listen to songs such as "Love Jiangshan More Love Beauty", "Sword Like a Dream" and then "Dongfeng Broken" and then become familiar with "Chinese Style", they will always like the practice of blending the sound of real folk music into popular songs, and will think that it is more sincere than the way of electronic virtual Chinese wind instrument sounds.
So at the beginning of my upcoming voyage, I clicked on Dai Tsuen's new album "Chivalrous" from the music platform.
First, because this is a full album full of ten tracks, and secondly, from the previous albums such as "Wukong" and "Unfinished Tsuen", I also have a sincere premonition about Dai Tsuen's musical content.
really......
During the sleepy voyage, the "Chivalrous" album made me listen to the spirit.
From the perspective of musical form, the album "Chivalrous" is a fusion of national style + national essence, and the symbiosis of national instruments and traditional opera singing, but in my opinion, I have heard Dai Quan organically integrate the chinese instrumental timbre with the Western music style structure.
The last time I heard such an album with such a moving singing degree and a mellow production was Zhou Huajian's "Jianghu" with Zhang Dachun.
For example, the free switching technique of Chinese and Western music style presented in the first song of the album "Chivalrous", the rock framework played by the guitar, the variation sound effects of bamboo flute, pipa and even DJ scraping discs, completely rationally support the song and the "chivalrous" flavor that the album wants to express.
If Dai Quan is a musical hero in the album this time, the arrogance and uninhibitedness of his world and the world are also between the instrumental playing of this song, exuding a million pride, and passionate blood.
Dai Quan has performed the musical story of the Three Kingdoms Chivalrous Guest in the musical drama of Zhou Huajian's "Sai Sable Cicada", whether it is the hero's zhengzheng hard bones or the chivalrous tenderness, it has been performed in place; so this time in his own album, Dai Quan also shows the multi-faceted nature of being also strong and soft.
Dai Quan summarized the ten songs on the album into three different keywords of "hero", "guest" and "line". The first song "Chivalrous" represents the wind and bone of "Chivalry".
For the song "Guest", I will first promote "Pouring Drink".
In the arrangement structure of lyrical rock, the guitar and piano clearly outline the soft atrium of a chivalrous memory, and the integration of the national style instrument erhu seems to pour a pot of spirits on the atrium of the chivalrous, burning the scars of old love, and venting regret and sorrow.
There is also the freedom of "line".
The leisurely and indifferent feelings of "Wings" can accompany the listener to act frankly and elegantly.
The design of "BiYi" is not a conventional national style operation method, but the use of low and thick electronic bass, traditional piano and plump string weaving, looming off-key chords, mixed electric guitar, four-stringed piano and harp and other plucked instruments, wrapped in some fresh background sounds and percussion, these psychedelic and unique sense of atmosphere, as if the mountains and seas in the strange animal world, presented a texture is not only good to hear, but also very innovative.
Perhaps, when I can hear Dai Quan's ingenuity of integrating Chinese and Western musical elements, I should also expect that he not only wants to sing the chivalrous chivalry of the ancient times, but also the "unspoken meaning" of the "Chivalrous Journey" album borrows the ancient metaphor of the present .
In today's era, we can often feel that whether it is passers-by who see righteousness and courage, or young people who dare to innovate; whether it is medical caregivers on the front line of the fight against the epidemic, or soldiers who defend their families and defend the country, they all have the unique chivalrous spirit of the Chinese nation, they are tenacious, but they are tender like water, dashing and frank, and their blood is open.
Life goes on, chivalry does not die.
Dai Quan completed a complete process of impeccable songwriting and singing in the "Chivalrous" album, and the practical significance outside the music was passed in place.
