350 Creative Concept
Hugo's life suddenly began to be full, and after the formation of Glory to Death, the band was finally able to start practicing in earnest, and at the same time, the members of the band were 'communicating' their own opinions with each other, forming their own musical style. They spend a lot of time together, practice, discuss, and develop a rapport, and apart from their sleep time, the five members of the band put all their 'essence' into the band with great enthusiasm.
Since from the very beginning, Hugo insisted on bringing together a group of friends with a common musical hobby, so all five members of the band have their own understanding of music, and it is not an easy task to integrate everyone's musical ideas. This also makes every discussion within the band full of sparks.
"So what the hell do you say you want to follow the 'tide'?" Fujin's face was full of sternness, and he asked with a frown.
Alfonso sat cross-legged next to him with a suspicious look on his face." Isn't it a contradiction that you will say that we should create our own style, but then that we cannot abandon the merits of the current 'tide'?"
Hugo was the target of the attack, and he also took off his coat at this time, his cheeks flushed, and he said 'excitedly'. Why don't you understand me? What I want to say is that the 'tide' of music is the same as all the 'tide' of fashion and TV dramas, and the arrival of any 'tide' is inevitable, and two years ago you could have predicted that horror movies would no longer be popular? Ten years ago, could you have predicted that action movies would be so popular? No! However, the formation of 'tide' flow has an inevitable law. ”
"Hugo, you're saying that metal rock has pursued technology to the extreme, pushed the magnificence of the arrangement to the extreme, and this is the trend of 'tide'." Neil also joined the discussion, and although he had known Hugo for a while and had some knowledge of Hugo's musical philosophy, he didn't have such a preoccupied discussion, so he was very focused.
"Yes!" Hugo nodded vigorously, "That's what I mean, excellent performance skills can add a lot of 'color' to music, but technology is not the whole of music, why are there so many bands with 'color' skills but never come out?" Because what they lack is an aura, a feeling, not to mention, a band like Nirvana that constantly 'plays' complicated technology, not every band can copy, simple and rough copying will only make people feel tired. When any 'tidal' flow reaches its peak, it enters a bottleneck, so we have to look for change. ”
Pedro recalled the theory that Hugo had said on a previous rock night, and continued. Therefore, we must inject more new elements into the music, open and concise arrangement, and use a variety of instruments, which can enrich the musical layers. ”
"That's right." "My idea is that we can't ignore the 'tide' flow, why, because the importance of technology is self-evident, it is the means of music, so we must pay attention to technology," Hugo said quickly. But at the same time, we can't blindly follow the 'tide', then we will never have our own style at most, that is, 'Nirvana Band No. 2' or 'Beatles No. 2', and those new elements that Pepe just mentioned are the characteristics of our band, which only belong to the characteristics of the five of us. ”
"But how do you know that our style will be successful?" Alfonso frowned and asked, he is used to sales, so he is still used to "sex" and "selling".
"Alfonso, we don't do commercial music! We can't go according to business, don't you understand? Although we should pay attention to the flow of the 'tide', we should not follow the flow of the 'tide'. Pedro interrupted Alfonso's words.
But then Neil shook his head, "But if we don't think about the commercial factor, what are we going to do to feed the band?" No matter how good the band's music is, it must be liked by someone and resonated with by someone, and this is business!
"No, you're all right, but you're not right either." "Hugo's desire to create the essence of this kind of music has nothing to do with business, but rather our understanding of music, and our understanding of music belongs to the imprint of the 'tide' of the times, and being able to find out our own style is the road to success." As for Alfonso's 'success', it should not be limited to business in such a narrow sense, but should also achieve a breakthrough in music and resonate with the audience, and business is only the first step to success. Fujin thought about this very thoroughly, after all, he had thought about it countless times in the days of a new day before.
Hugo nodded at Fokine, affirming this statement, but he didn't notice that Fokine actually said so many things differently than usual, "Is commercialization shameful?" Isn't commercialization music? Of course not. In the world of music, there is no absolute commerciality, and there is no absolute non-compliance. Those bands who claim to be against commercialization and popularity, they also have to sell their records, buy tickets for concerts, and have money to maintain their lives. ”
"I don't think commercialization is the root of evil, isn't it because Nirvana's albums have sold millions of copies?" One of Hugo's simplest examples convinced Pedro, "What really matters is our starting point, and if the starting point is to make music that makes money, then it is a real failure." When we make zuò music, as I said earlier, it is impossible to detach from the background of the times, and it is obviously impractical to make zuò disco now, but at the same time, we can't blindly follow the footsteps of popularity, it is just a simple copy. ”
"Combine your own special 'color' and make your own band's music!" Pedro took over and said, obviously clear about this, "Isn't that the reason for the composition of glory to death?" One sentence made everyone chuckle.
"So, what element do you want to inject into your music besides the keyboard?" Alfonso was very curious about this, in fact, even Foquin was very curious, and looked at Hugo expectantly. However, Neil and Pedro already knew something about it, and they had a look of success in their hands.
"In fact, to put it simply, it is to strengthen the rhythm, enrich the orchestration of instruments, and integrate different 'colors' to form a new style." After careful consideration, Hugo's inner thoughts became stronger and stronger, he wanted to break the current trend of metal rock 'tide', like Michael and Jackson, form his own band's 'color', and even create a 'tide' flow of his own band.
This is a dream idea for any musician, and it is also the ultimate goal. In the past, it would have been basically impossible, but now, Hugo has memories of the next two decades, and he believes he can do it. What's more, it's l993, the moment of the gradual rise of new metal music, and Hugo can fully seize this opportunity to create a world that belongs to glory to death.
Just as 1994 was the most glorious page in the modern history of cinema, "993 is the most glorious year in the modern history of rock and roll
The Goatskin Bands released a new album not long ago, and in 1993 there were a number of other works that appeared to be among the top 100 classic albums, ^c/dc, The Rolling Stones, Metallica, Queen, Bon Jovi (BON. Jovi), Bjork, Carberry, Smashipkins, U2, Nirvana, and others all released new albums this year, in addition to the rise of a whole bunch of new bands, Blur, PJ, and Harvey (PJ. Harvey), Radiohead, Shen Yun (the. Verve), the Manic Street Evangelist (MA. preachers) and so on in 1993.
This is a legendary year, even in the long history of music, it is also a year of stars, in this year was born countless classic albums that have a profound impact on future generations, nearly 20 excellent albums spread throughout the year, and it has formed a rock storm around the world, so that rock has truly entered a heyday.
As long as he thinks of this, Hugo feels that his soul is trembling, he can actually stand in Los Angeles in 1993 and feel the overwhelming rock 'tide', which may be the dream of all rock 'fans', and Hugo has realized this dream, which is really incredible.
What's more, Hugo still has the opportunity to become a member of this legendary vintage, no matter what kind of identity he uses, even if it is just an insignificant new band in the rock 'wave' and 'tide', which makes Hugo's heart tremble, not to mention that it is still the identity of the "glory to death" band, at this moment, Hugo 'excited' can't help himself.
Therefore, Hugo unswervingly wants to create his own music, he wants to be a part of this musical 'wave' and 'tide', and he wants to shine in the world of music.
"As for what is our special color, we need to work together to discuss it, right?" Hugo looked at the teammates in front of him, and his heart was full of 'excitement', this is his future partners who will fight side by side together, disputes and discussions like today will happen almost every day, but they are not quarrelling, but the collision of each other's thoughts, every time the spark 'flower' is nourishment for the band, so that the band can grow up quickly, "We can integrate our own strengths, don't limit the content and form, and integrate everyone's understanding of music into music, which is the music that belongs to glory to death." That's what really belongs to our band's creative philosophy, which is eclectic. ”
Looking at Hugo, who was very 'excited', although the reasons for their inner 'excitement' were different from Hugo's, the other four people were also surging, and Alfonso even 'revealed' a hearty smile, "So, let's start with the music you composed, how about it?" You're now the mainstay of our band. ”
In the face of everyone's earnest slaps, Hugo did not flinch, but nodded vigorously, "Then what are we waiting for!"
