How to introduce such a brand-new voice? It really gives me a headache. He has the potential of an idol and the strength of an all-round creator. Of course, what attracts everyone most is the humming style, which is fashionable and antique. And Jay Chou's tone is quite similar. Hou Xian has a very self-centered musical concept and creative ability. The first album "Guwan" is defined as a full-creation album, which is called full-creation because all the songs of the whole album, from lyrics and songs to later arrangement and production, are arranged by Hou Xian alone. After skilled running-in with senior audio engineers in Taiwan Province Province, it was built with all its strength.

◆ "Ancient": Antique

It implies that the style of the whole album inherits the vein of classical court music from the bones, which will make everyone feel a strong taste of blue and white ceramics from words and music.

◆ "Play": Play with fashion.

Is to use the most popular R &；; B, Hip-Hop, rap, Pop, electronic and other musical techniques "play"! PLAY-play gongdiao r&; B The concept of music freely runs through every note of Gu Wan.

When Hou Xian met Jay Chou, ...

At first glance, Hou Xian's music is really a bit like Jay Chou's style, but after careful study, you will find that there are still many differences between the two. Jay Chou promoted the new trend of pop music, and also made R&; B, the musical style of Hip-Hop and Rap is integrated, which is very important for China pop music. Hou Xian's music is more traditional and classical, with a very authentic China style. In terms of genre, he also combined western music with national music and gradually created his own unique strings. In Hou Xian's own words: "Music is like a species. My music originated from Jay, but this is only the beginning of evolution ... I am following an era, not a person. " Being good at learning from others is also the source of inspiration for Hou Xian's music creation.

⊙ "The Ancient Bay" The First Song of Strings

"Gu Wan" jumped from one end to the other, like the arrival of ten naughty children, which took a whole hundred days. In one hundred days, the spirit of PLAY music, which meets the East and the West, has gradually brewed and grown in the carving of time and the cheers of fans. Lyrics, arrangement, production, producer ....., every link is like a secret chef; The recording studio is Hou Xian's kitchen; I hope the last meal will be a delicious meal that will intoxicate my ears. I hope that Hou Xian's daily efforts will be combined into full marks in music.

This album named "Ancient Night" has a special meaning and also represents the formation of Hou Xian's musical style. At the same time, it also conveys many brand-new string concepts. Let's learn from Hou Xian's self-introduction.

Why did you name it "Guwan"?

Hou Xian said: "I hope my music is like a delicate antique carved by time, because only works of art like antiques can surpass fashion! Become something more tasteful and popular. " Hou Xian will use his accumulated time to precipitate and carve out pop music that everyone likes to collect.

★ "Gongdiao R &；; What kind of idea is "B"?

Hou Xian said: Gongdiao singing belongs to the essence of his own culture, that is, a musical tendency in ancient rhythm, which is different from R &；; B There are many similarities between the majors commonly used in music styles. In addition, the drawl and transliteration of the ancient palace tune "Yiya" are different from those of western R&; The transliteration skills in B are also surprisingly identical. So the two can be very smoothly integrated. With the addition of Gongdiao, the tune of Blue and White has a stronger flavor, with local oriental color, without losing its popular charm. Palace Model and R&; The combination of B-type pop elements can make the nation transcend tradition, make fashion return to the nation, and deduce something with its own unique style.

★ How to understand the word "postmodern"?

Hou Xian said: Postmodernism is a feeling, and everyone has his own understanding. For me, it is one of the understandings of postmodern chords to use Gongdiao to be popular, to use classicality to reflect modernity and to use antiquity to describe the present.

★ What are the characteristics of this album in interpretation?

Hou Xian said: according to the classification of songs, the tunes of the whole album are basically singing in Gongdiao style, which is more traditional and with a little R&; B's transliteration technique is the biggest reason why Chinese and western styles can be perfectly integrated in songs. It is also your greatest feature.

★ How is the music structure of this album arranged?

Hou Xian said: This album has various themes, such as ancient times, modernity, Renaissance, fantasy and realism. I have made many attempts, and the style is also Gongdiao R &；; Mainly based on B, it combines hip-hop, rap, pop, electronic and other musical techniques, hoping to bring you a rich musical experience.

Interpretation of the Legend of Chord Sound: The Combination of China Classical Literature and Pop Music

Romance of the West Chamber

Quoting the famous novel "The West Chamber", in the way I understand, using Gongdiao and R&; The seed of love,/kloc-a scholar who met a young lady in the West Chamber 0/2 years ago, and those who came back from the West Chamber after 12 years to dono. 1 are all empty. The emotional lines that embody the modern meaning, and this feeling of using the past as a metaphor for the present, may be Hou Xian's postmodern music style, easily accepted court-style pop melody and intoxicating artistic conception. Let the Romance of the West Chamber become the model of Hou Xian Palace R&; Represents a musical work.

Bridge part

Originally intended as a plot segment in the film, the flashback structure was adopted. The ancient song "Moonlit Night on the Spring River" with the feeling of old records at the beginning became a naughty R&, and the walls, classrooms and first love of childhood gradually emerged, followed by the rhythm of R & ampb pop music, which set off the romantic childhood scenes one by one: the romantic encounter between grandparents, the old movie played by my father, the cordial nagging of my mother, and the middle pipa playing. Bridge evokes a bridge buried in everyone's childhood for many years.

"Little White"

Xiaobai, originally a cute little white dog in Crayon Shinchan, later became everyone's favorite nickname. Cut to the chase, the voice of "Lala" brings out the pure and refined artistic conception of "Xiaobai". Small white key, simple major, simple rhythm and simple lyrics will make you catchy with comfortable rhythm in less than half a minute. "Little White" expresses the unique simple state of mind of "Little White" in pure love with a tone almost like a child. Xiao Bai's image is exactly the same. In the arrangement, with the popular rhythm, rap and colorful guitar, the complicated arrangement is made into a simple feeling, which sounds simple, but it is not.

"truant"

This song with the theme of playing truant is the first in music. At the beginning of a private school's reading of Tang poetry, I heard the voice of a bookboy playing rhythm, and then the teacher's severe reprimand came out. However, the rhythm of beating sounded again, and a solo of "Sheng" instrument was brought into the naughty hip-hop rhythm style, singing lightly and freely, and the classics were mixed with rebellion, which showed the true thoughts of new human beings incisively and vividly. In a truant tone, he made a naughty "revision" of Tang poetry and Song poetry in his book. The word "truant" in the lyrics is actually an extremely bookish person who refuses to be bound by the feudal teaching system but pursues his own music. In ancient times, extremely bookish refers to people who specifically endorsed others and read books for others. The word "extremely bookish" breaks the embarrassing burden of "reading for others" under today's exam-oriented education system. It is a brave song to criticize the defects of modern education with an ancient background. In addition, the whole song has a strong Gongdiao color in singing and arrangement. Suddenly, a tap dance music with Scottish violin and applause added a special feeling of children's interest to the music.

"Only love Martians"

The popular word "Martians" spread from the Internet and became a classic narration in Stephen Chow's shaolin soccer. Vulgarity refers to a guy who knows nothing, but only Martians are in love. The lovelorn young people would rather find simple Martians than face the complicated love entanglements of the earth. It is a "new love song" of youthful frivolous romantic fantasy. The combination of light rock melodies full of Scottish style and electronic style, coupled with unpretentious singing, shows the helplessness of young people after falling in love. In arrangement, the smooth concerto of violin and Jinghu brought fresh and refined special effects. Soft-paced rap highlights the psychological state of teenagers' troubles and is easy to arouse everyone's voices. The combination of classical tradition and alien science fiction is unforgettable.

Love in the East

Coincidentally, the abbreviation of "Tokyo Love Story" is also called "East Love". When you listen carefully, you will know that this love is not that love. "Love in the East" describes "the love story in the East". It describes an ancient couple who secretly conveyed their feelings by riddles. Finally, they were bound by feudal ethics, and the young lady married someone else. They were heartbroken and separated. At the beginning, the palace was full of high and low notes, and the whole song was written.

Goldbach conjecture

Do famous mathematical conjectures have anything to do with popular songs? In this song, the two are endowed with a wonderful connection. The feelings of two people plus one person are complicated and confused, even if the master guesses for a lifetime, there is no result. Goldbach conjecture made a classical R&; B's bold attempt. This song begins with a piece of18th century western classical piano music, followed by a strong R&; B rhythm, even joined the swing style at the climax, and made a new attempt. Piano and guitar concertos jumped out at the door and the end, accompanied by the singing of China traditional opera, which filled the whole song with the spark of bold collision between East and West.

"To Anna"

A melodious Russian organ played slowly, which made people think of "Night on the outskirts of Moscow", and then China's flute weaved a beautiful exotic love. In the lyrics, two people live far apart and can only express their thoughts through letters. Beijing on one side and Moscow on the other. Different cultural backgrounds have the same yearning. The whole piece is wearing an organ and playing a flute, which constitutes an ancient or foreign love song and is the biggest highlight of To Anna.

"Kick the pavilion"

From the mysterious opening to the jumping hip-hop rhythm, coupled with the drum singing of Beijing Opera in the middle, Kicking the Pavilion conveys the decisive spirit and national integrity of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers with a dramatic plot, which belongs to the songs with brilliant auditory effects in the album. The quintessence of Beijing Opera is half-rapping and half-singing Hua Dan cavity harmony, and the climax of the combination of true and false sounds conveys the momentum of "terrible afterlife" from the beginning of the sword and kicking the door to the imaginative lyrics. More importantly, this year marks the 60th anniversary of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory. It goes without saying whose pavilion Hou Xian is kicking.

"Nine times out of ten"

When falling in love and breaking up, the lover's sixth sense intuition is accurate and strong in nine cases out of ten. This is a love song about the gray mentality of parting, from the scene description of parting to the comparison of meeting and parting at the beginning of climax, with some lazy singing methods, R &；; B-style melody vividly covers up the memories of lovelorn love and the pain between two people. From the beginning to the climax, "happy sadness" is the biggest highlight.
