Those who are good at listening to the piano are not good at drumming, and those who are good at drumming and piano are difficult to find. It is enough to know oneself in life, and Si Shi should look at it with the same heart.
Speaking of Beyond's classic golden song Great Wall, I believe that any fan can talk about many feelings. When a good song travels through time to the ear, when we introduce the story behind the work to others, the listener often only pays attention to or remembers the name of the singer, and inadvertently ignores the other participants.
Behind any of the best songs is a string of names, not one, and their contribution to the work may be primary and secondary, but we cannot erase it.
Great Wall MP3
The Great Wall was composed by Wong Ka-ju as the lead singer, Lyrics by Lau Cheuk-fai, arrangement by Beyond and Leung Bang-yan, and keyboard part by the famous Japanese musician Kitaro.
Like Huang Jiaju, Kitaro's origins are extremely ordinary, with no prominent background, and he is not an elite representative of the academic school. He also had no musical education, and it is said that he could not even read the staves, but he could skillfully play keyboards, guitars, flutes and other instruments, and he was also quite accomplished in arranging music, and was One of Japan's top arrangers.
Almost at the same time, Kitaro and Yanni, one from the East and one representing the West, one classical vicissitudes and the other casual romance. New Age music has a unique aesthetic, and this style of music can always easily capture your ears and body and mind.
The music of the new century does not pay too much attention to the rules, most of the pure music types, the melody is relaxed, smooth, simple, and even sometimes the melody of a piece is only derived from a change in tone. You can not only hear modern electronic musical instruments, but also appreciate the wonders of national musical instruments of various countries. When enjoying the music of the new century, the feeling of immersion and relaxation is very strong, there is the tranquility and peace of nature, and there is also an atmospheric interpretation of history and culture.
Kitaro was born in Japan in 1953, 9 years older than Iekoma, and is a veritable big brother and senior. It is said that the name Kitaro is a character name from a certain anime, and at first it was only a nickname called him by friends, and it became natural after calling it open.
As early as high school, Kitaro was deeply influenced by Western rhythm blues and formed a rock band with friends, which is quite early in time. Since the 1970s, kitaro, who was in his early 20s, began to travel, study and think in Asian countries due to his love for mysterious oriental culture.
He once said: "Chinese culture is the root of Japanese culture!" This sentence is enough to glimpse Kitaro's historical view and profound cultural cognition. The reason why he can enjoy a high reputation in China is that his works silk road, and second, his music has been widely applied to film and television dramas, especially classic Hong Kong dramas.
In those martial arts TV series that we are familiar with, Kitaro's music is almost everywhere, and background music is the most common, such as The Eagle Hero, Lotus Battle, Tianlong Eight, Laughing Pride Jianghu and other popular dramas.
The 1980s were an important period for Kitaro to gain worldwide fame, and after signing with an American company, his independent and cooperative records were released one after another, and both achieved good sales. While cooperating with Western rock bands, his concerts have toured in Many countries such as Japan and China, attracting and influencing a large number of music lovers.
In 1992, after a brief period of adaptation in Japan, Beyond had gained a foothold, and while producing the album Continue the Revolution, Iekoma collaborated with Kitaro, and the collision of the talents of the two musicians made Great Wall an extremely widely circulated masterpiece. It is precisely because of the opportunity of this cooperation that the two have become musical confidants after work, and they have a great sense of pity for each other. In addition, the fourth son not only met Kitaro in Japan, but also had a friendship with Storm Slump and the band Holy Hunger II.
Kitaro's works, with feeling and close to people's hearts, or majestic or mournful, or insight or transcendence, if the weightlifting is not lagging in form, the thick oriental color is particularly fascinating, the instrumentation is known for its melodiousness, and the Buddhist Zen atmosphere is very heavy, the home country's thoughts and perceptions are more abundant, pay more attention to levels and emotions, even if the inheritance and transition can also be done naturally smoothly without revealing traces. He likes to compose freely and everywhere, and there are a large number of pieces named after Chinese place names in his works.
There are many masterpieces of epic style Kitaro, and chengqi first recommended "big snake". In this work, a variety of traditional Japanese instruments and Western instruments are intertwined, and the depiction of the picture is amazing, as if it is a fusion innovation of classical and modern. Although it is different from the previously recommended "The Call of Ktulu" by Metallica, the style of painting is similar.
As the founder and pioneer of the new century music genre, Kitaro's exploration in the field of music has not stopped to this day. In addition to actively participating in public welfare performances, he not only has frequent exchanges with musicians from all over the world, but also continues to cultivate in the field of electronic music.
Because of the need for performances and exchanges, Kitaro would often visit Hong Kong, and no matter how many times he came, no matter how busy he was, he still did not forget to go to the grave of his old friend to worship and chat with the man who talked a lot. I think That Huang Jiaju, an unruly young man, should have a special weight in his heart.
This is an era when heroes are old and legends have ended. I think the heroes are mostly lonely, and no amount of flowers and applause in front of them can compare to the two or three acquaintances who understand them. Heroes are mostly pathetic, because it is often after they fall down and merge with the dirt that people discover their difference and value.
Yes, it's hard for the vast majority of people to be heroes, and it's hard for us to be heroes without being heroes.
