"Teacher Wang Qi on Music Creation", March 19, 2021

Hello everyone! I am singer Wang Qi. In fact, this song "Shepherd of the Cocoto Sea" is one of my entire series of songs! At that time, because I had lived in Xinjiang for ten years before, and then this, when I left Xinjiang, I sent a circle of friends, I said I wanted to give Xinjiang a gift! I want to write ten songs, and then each song will add a little bit of our Xinjiang elements, or use ethnic minority instruments in Xinjiang as part of my arrangement, or use some place names, including some styles, and so on... Then one of them is "The Shepherd of the Cocoto Sea"!

In fact, the whole process of this song is relatively smooth, that is, I have a habit of changing the lyrics... Until I was recording in the studio, I was still changing my own lyrics... Then when arranging the music, because many of your friends probably don't know the prelude to this song, the instrument that plays the main melody of the interlude, the instrument called Rewap, and then in order to wait for the teacher, we waited for a long time! Because of that teacher he was busy... I remember when we were recording his instrument that night, waiting until 1 a.m. for him to get out of his other rehearsal, then to our studio, and then to record this song for me... It was also recorded late... But this whole, me, and the recording engineer, including our teacher Rewap, are very excited! And then the final result is very satisfactory to everyone!

Very happy! And then it was also a surprise... Yes, I think this Spring Festival Gala may be a stage that all of us singers dream of! I didn't expect myself, and then I was fortunate enough to be on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala...

When you first sit backstage and wait, you find that there are all those well-known and familiar stars, and then there are some old artists, right next to you... And then, like you, silently wearing a mask, and then waiting for the scene...

There is also the fact that because the Spring Festival Gala is live, we have gone through a lot of rehearsals before the live broadcast... My scheduling, walking on stage, is that every rehearsal changes... There were surprises every time...

I'm still quite tangled up in this, there may be... I already have two pieces that are finished... And then I haven't figured out which one to play first? But this content, it may be that this continues my usual habit of creation, the narrative is a little stronger, but this content may not have tried such a theme before...

In fact, I've been trying new things, every year... For example, I did EDM electronics last year, retro, disco, but this song is not hot, everyone thinks I did not try... In fact, I have always had new attempts, every year there are new types of songs... If there is no fire, everyone thinks, is it still a continuation of the previous aspect? Actually not, I've been trying...

My creation is to be absolutely quiet! It was when I decided that when I wrote a song, I would find an absolutely quiet place for myself... And then now after having a child, I basically if she's at home, I definitely won't create! You were writing it when she suddenly shouted, "Daddy"! And then it will pull you out of your train of thought, or... A few years ago, I used to create in the middle of the night, that is, after my family went to bed, and then shut myself in my own small studio, at 3:04 a.m., I was still writing lyrics...

When I was in Xinjiang before, I would climb mountains... The house I stayed in and then there was a hill nearby... Every time I feel like I can't write something, I'll climb the mountain... Maybe stay in the mountains for half a day, maybe even a day... And then when to figure it out, to figure it out, before coming down... And then in the last year or two I'll choose to fish, yes, fish alone...

The creative process of more than ten years has made me constantly refresh my own one, a cognition of music, and then feel that I am constantly learning... Now I feel that the musical components, every part is important! Lyrics, songs, singing, arrangements, mixing everything... Indispensable! A good piece of work, every part, is important!

love! Because relying on music to earn money to support the family is actually a matter of the past two years... In the past ten years, it has actually been unprofitable... Probably the only reason I can stick with it is that I love the industry so much! I especially love, I... I love music so much! And then I also like the process of composing my own music! I enjoyed this...

I love going to the wet market, then I like to cook, and then I'll cook for everyone at home... Then, after cooking, we have to wait for this comment from our friends, is it good? Will study some new recipes...

First of all, I would like to thank all these friends who enjoy listening to my songs! Thank you all for your support and love for me along the way! Nothing to report! Only this, relying on their next works, return to everyone! I wish you all the best!
