298 Perfectly echoed
Fokine has actually seen Hugo's control over the band's cooperation, and the original song "Strangling Heroes" (K Dou L. your。 heroes)" is one such example, Hugo showed his use of the keyboard and the drum. In fact, purely from the perspective of integration, it is not enough to use the keyboard and snare drum in "Strangling Heroes", there should be more musical instruments and electronic music to fully exert the charm of the song. But Hugo showed his 'colorful' musicality under limited conditions, which is indeed eye-catching.
The coordination between the guitar and the drum beat is different, and there is a relationship between the two that echoes and complements each other, but in the absence of the bridge between the bass and the rhythm guitar, the coordination between the two will be a little monotonous, and it is better to perform with a single guitar and then match it with an instrument such as a tambourine or bell to achieve a 'colorful' effect. Of course, nothing is absolute, and it is not impossible to create a dizzying melody with guitar and drum beats.
But what Faucin is more interested in is that Hugo actually 'handed over' the initiative to him, and what Hugo said just now is "I'll play a guitar with you......" That is to say, Fokin's drumming is the right to guide the next audition showdown.
On the one hand, Fokine was 'aroused' by Hugo's self-confidence, and he Fukine was the number one figure in the Los Angeles underground rock circle, although Hugo had proven his own ability, but Fokine did not think that Hugo had the ability to keep up with him. On the other hand, Fokine is very curious about how Hugo will respond, you know, the drum beat is the rhythm, and the rhythm is the bone of a song, which is also the reason why the drummer's position in the band is very important, because the drummer's mistake is likely to lead the rest of the band to make mistakes in a row.
Is Hugo blindly confident and arrogant? Or do you have real material to do it?
Foquin didn't know Hugo, but he could feel that Hugo's self-confidence had changed dramatically from the rock night at the end of last year, but Foquin couldn't figure out why. In that case, let's have a head-to-head showdown! Fujin's heart was also suddenly full of pride, sweeping away the decadence and frustration just now.
Fokine lifted up the chair that had been kicked to the ground, quickly reassembled his drum kit, and began to debug it unhurriedly, and after completely confirming that there was no problem with the drum kit, he glanced up at Hugo, who was standing next to the drum kit with the guitar left by Fokin's teammates, with a relaxed face, obviously ready. Joseph, on the other hand, stood three paces behind Hugo, with an inquiring look on his face, and seemed to be interested in the street impromptu performance.
It's less than a hundred yards away from Times Square, and you can see the hustle and bustle of Times Square when you look at the past, and the 42nd Street behind you is a little depressed because there are not many shops that open the door, and after nightfall, this will be the famous red light district on the East Coast, but now the lazy afternoon sun is still hanging on the roof of the Empire State Building, and the street is not very lively without the embellishment of lights and the crowding of the 'girls' standing on the street, but even so, the crowds of people coming and going are still not crowded.
Unfortunately, no one stopped, no one recognized the man standing on the side of the road with a guitar as Hugo - and no one even wanted to slow down to watch the still unstarted performance procession on the side of the road.
There are only a lot more performers performing on the streets of New York than in Los Angeles, and it may be more difficult to attract passers-by, although New York has more tourists and population, but the pace of life here is so fast that few people are willing to 'waste' time standing on the side of the road to watch the performance, even if they have admiration for the performers, at most they just toss a few coins as they pass by, and then pick up the pace again to move on with their lives.
Therefore, there is an inexplicable illusion at the scene, as if Hugo, Fokine and Joseph are standing in another level of space, and the constant busyness around them sets off their silence and stagnation. But soon, this stillness is interrupted by a flurry of drumbeats.
The drum 'stick' in Fokine's hand was the first to strike the cymbals, and the sonorous sound pale in the roar of cars and the noise of people, and was soon drowned out by the noise around him, and even Joseph couldn't hear it very clearly. However, Hugo keenly captured the slow but powerful sound of the "clanging" of the cymbals, and before his glory died, he often performed in the field without sound reinforcement equipment, so he always knew to pay close attention to the drummer's dynamics at all times, and only after the melody sounded would his attention be devoted to the bass-based melody, and the bass player would connect the guitar and drum kit.
Holding his guitar, without the pressure of the lead singer, Hugo is like a fish in water, this has always been his most comfortable position, even if he now has experience with the lead singer, but the melodic guitarist can still make Hugo find comfort. So Hugo did not hesitate at all and began to sketch the strings with his right hand.
Hugo's right hand is not fast, but the intensity is increased, so that each string seems very thick, because there is no amplification equipment on the scene, so the performance technique needs to be slightly changed, which is not difficult for Hugo.
Hugo listened carefully to Fokin's drumming, but to his surprise, Fokine had no intention of playing the drums at all, but opened with a series of the most ordinary and ordinary cymbals, and the speed of beating the cymbals was not fast, preferring the slow rhythm of the middle board, which was very inclusive, and there was no problem with the subsequent rhythm suddenly speeding up or slowing down. Obviously, Fokine was planning to see Hugo's performance before making calculations.
In the face of this sound of cymbals, Hugo did not hesitate too much, and interpreted the melody randomly sketched in his mind. In fact, if Hugo had an electric guitar in his hand, it would be more suitable for this situation, but unfortunately he was holding an acoustic guitar, so Hugo made his fingering more crisp, so that every note became very brittle, like a 'jade' bead rolling down.
Hugo is obviously in good shape today, after visiting Michael Jackson and Catherine Hepburn, Hugo's brain is showing a thriving scene, and the melody outlined by his fingertips is beating in his fingertips with the lightness and excitement of Yang 'Spring' March.
Under the influence of Hugo, Fokine's sensitivity to rhythm in his blood and his long-standing instinct for a drum kit naturally led him to naturally start adding the heavy beat of the floor drum. Both men seem to be looking for form, working together for the first time, without any rehearsals, playing a new melody, which makes the pace of both men a little tight at the beginning, whether it is Hugo's melody or Fokine's drumbeat, it is relatively simple.
Neither Fauquin nor Hugo looked at each other, but focused on their instruments, and after a simple repetition of six beats, Fauquin struck the drum, and the heavy beat of the drum slammed into Hugo's guitar melody like a giant's footprint, and Hugo sensitively realized that Fokine's challenge was coming.
Sure enough, Fujin increased his strength and speed, and the rhythm of three consecutive drums and the combination of pedal cymbals made the music go from slow to fierce in an instant, and the overwhelming 'waves' and 'tides' seemed to go from zero to 100 in an instant, and they were vented in an unreasonable way. If this kind of drum beat is connected to the stereo, it is enough to make the whole scene crazy, with a strong 'character' of grunge rock and metal rock, with unparalleled impact, so that the rhythm of the heart and blood is accelerated to the extreme in an instant, and then impact the bearing capacity of the temple.
This is a typical Nirvana band's style, and it is also the most popular and classic interpretation of the whole rock at present. This method is very demanding for the guitar, just like Hugo and Pedro and others discussed in the rock night before, the guitar alone 'tide' flow is the current trend of the entire rock world, Fokine saw him and Hugo's guitar together, so he chose this rhythm form that has a serious challenge to both the drum beat and the guitar.
Hugo's attention was highly concentrated, and he heard the heavy and impactful drum beat of the big drum for the first time, and his left hand immediately slid up on the fretboard, raising the tune of the whole melody with the power of the drum, and the speed and strength of his right hand immediately rose two notches, and he tried his best to bring out the heaviness of the melody, although Hugo did not have the cooperation of bass and rhythm guitar, and he still held an acoustic guitar in his hand, and the overall strength seemed very thin; Surprisingly, the guitar strings weren't drowned out by Forkin's powerful drumbeat.
What's even more surprising is that Hugo's flying right hand actually sketched a beautiful and abnormal melody, so that Fourquin involuntarily began to nod and play the rhythm, in fact, Fourkin's job is to play the rhythm, his whole body is playing rhythm, but at this time he is still restrained by Hugo's melody, which shows the great appeal of Hugo's melody. Not to mention Joseph, who was watching from the sidelines.
In Joseph's stunned gaze, Hugo and Fokine did not go back and forth and began to rush wildly, but unexpectedly combined the rhythm together, the drum beat complemented the guitar melody, and the guitar followed the rhythm of the drum, gradually filling the melody to complete. In fact, in the absence of bass and keyboards, the melody can still feel the flaws, but this is only for professionals, and in the eyes of the layman, this is simply a seamless performance!
Hugo and Fokine did not engage in malicious competition, but combined guitar and drum kit under the cycle of good 'sex' competition, creating a wonderful echo with each other and playing jaw-dropping music. Before you know it, two strong competitors who have never worked together before, but they give full play to their strength in their respective positions, and then start an incredible cooperation.
Before Joseph could react, the surrounding time and space seemed to freeze, and there were more and more people who stopped in their footsteps, more and more!
