What thoughts and feelings does Wang Yong's evocation reflect?
Wang Yong was first known because he joined a band in Cui Jian, especially the guzheng he played in Let Me Run Wild in the Snow. Later, the Guzheng teacher of China Conservatory of Music became a wonderful flower in the field of Chinese rock music. Wang Yong has only released one album, Past Lives, but the uniqueness of this album is extremely valuable. Wang Yong was the first rock musician who integrated folk music, electronic synthesizer, rock music and religious music. This determines that Wang Yong's musical concept is very different from that of rock stars, rock bands and rock pop songs at that time. In the mid-1990s, Chinese rock music showed a diversified development state, and Wang Yong's Past Lives was undoubtedly one of the important masterpieces at that time. In recent years, on the one hand, Wang Yong cooperated with musicians from all over Europe to perform impromptu performances; On the other hand, Wang Yong began to form his own music group. During his performance in Europe, Wang Yong became more and more aware of the oriental background and the value of oriental music. Wang Yong once held a concert called "dream of paradise" in Beijing. In a concert, he showed the national music and religious music of Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and Tibet. In the interpretation of national music, it not only emphasizes an original source, but also uses a lot of electronic and rock means. Before the original ecological folk song craze, Wang Yong began to challenge the conventional national singing method and the single mode of making folk songs and folk music academic and scientific by "dreaming of the land". Wang Yong is an excellent guzheng player, but he is not a conservative music composer. He has been trying to add Chinese folk music elements to rock music. 1989' s cooperation with Cui Jian shows his extraordinary creative thinking. The narrow market space of Chinese folk music made Wang Yong only appear as a band keyboard player in his early days, which gave him a deeper understanding of electronic music. Until 1996 1 month, Wang Yong took out the album Past Lives to declare his understanding of China's new music. Interestingly, due to the close relationship between Wang Yong and rock and roll, the album Past Lives is often classified as rock and roll, but actually it is not. The first album, the quality and style of the songs are different, which has become the biggest regret of this album, but this can not hide the Excellence of the song "Song Fahui and the Pure Land of Dance". The total duration of this song is nearly 10 minutes, and it consists of three parts: Fa Hui, Song and Dance and Pure Land. In the Lama's prayer, the trombone blows a horrible monotonous long sound, which is then converted into Sanskrit chanting on the basis of strings, flutes and flutes. The long sound is gradually introduced into the main theme of sheng, guzheng and sanxian, and the arrangement is bold and novel without leaving any trace. The joy of the "song and dance" part is rough, and the solemnity of the "pure land" part is unforgettable. Faced with such rich musical expression, we can only regret the lack of language. This song combines Tibetan Buddhism, Chinese folk music, China folk songs and other elements, and shows a complete sacrificial process in the form of chapters. Whether it is creation or arrangement, it is completely superior to the album Sister Drum. What Wang Yong lacks most is an effective promotion mechanism.
