For Anna < p It really gives me a headache. He has the potential of an idol and the strength of an all-round creator. Of course, the most attractive thing for everyone is the kind of music style that is humming and singing, fashionable and ancient.
Hou Xian has a very self-centered musical concept and creative ability. The first album "Gu Wan" is defined as a total creation album, so it is called a total 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 sound engineers in Taiwan Province, it was made with all its strength.
"Antique": Antique
It implies that the whole album has inherited the vein of classical Gongdiao music in its bones, and people will strongly feel the taste of blue-and-white ceramics from the words and music.
"play": to play with fashion
is to use the previous classical Gongdiao melody with the most popular R&; B, Hip-Hop, rap, Pop, electronic and other musical techniques "play"! PLAY--- play Gongdiao r&; The concept of B music freely runs through every note of Gu Wan.
Hou Xian's music is more traditional, more classical, and has a very authentic Chinese style. In terms of genre, he also combines western music with national music and gradually creates a unique string music of his own. In Hou Xian's own words: "Music is like a species. My music originated from JAY, but it is only the beginning of evolution ... I am following an era, not a person." Being good at learning and learning from others is also the source of inspiration for Hou Xian's music creation.
The first piece of string music "Gu Wan"
"Gu Wan" jumped from head to head, 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, is gradually brewing and growing up in the carving of time and the cheers of fans. Lyrics, arrangement, production, producer ....., each link is like a private kitchen in secret; The recording studio is Hou Xian's kitchen; I hope that the last thing to be served is a delicious meal that will intoxicate the ears. I hope that Hou Xian's efforts every day will converge into a full mark of music.
The album named "Gu Wan" 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 concepts belonging to string music.
Hou Xian's own thoughts
Q: Why is it named Gu Wan?
Hou Xian said, "I hope my music is just like exquisite antiques carved by time, because only works of art like antiques can surpass fashion! Become something that is more tasteful and more popular. " Hou Xian will use his accumulated time to precipitate and carve out popular music that everyone likes to collect.
Q: "Gongdiao r&; What kind of idea is "B"?
string theory: Gongdiao singing is something in one's own culture, that is, a musical trend in ancient rhythm, which is different from R&; B There are many similarities in the major commonly used in music styles. In addition, the drawl and transliteration of the ancient palace mode "Yi Ya" are different from those of the western R&; The transliteration skills in B are also surprisingly exactly the same. So the two can blend very smoothly. With the addition of Gongdiao, the tune "Blue and White" has a stronger flavor and a local oriental color without losing its popular charm. The palace mode and r&; The combination of B-type pop elements can make the nation transcend the tradition, make the fashion return to the nation, and deduce something with its own unique style.
Q: how to understand the word "postmodernism"?
Hou Xian said: Post-modernism is a feeling, and everyone has his own understanding. For me, using Gongdiao to be popular, using classicality to reflect modernity, and borrowing from the past to illustrate the present is one of the understandings of post-modernism chords.
Q: what are the deductive features of this album?
Hou Xian said: The tunes of the whole album are basically sung in Gongdiao style according to the classification of songs, which is both traditional and R&; The singing method of B's transliteration technique is the biggest reason why the two Chinese and western styles can be perfectly integrated in the song. It is also your biggest feature.
Q: how is the music structure of this album arranged?
Hou Xian said: This album has a variety of themes, such as ancient, modern, Renaissance, fantasy and realism, and many attempts have been made. The style is also based on Gongdiao R&; B-oriented, with Hip-Hop, rap, Pop, electronic and other musical techniques, hoping to bring you a rich musical experience.
◎ Interpreting the Legend of Chord Sound-the Combination of China Classical Literature and Pop Music
"The West Chamber"
Quoting the famous novel "The West Chamber", I described a youthful love with some poetic feelings in my own way, and the Gongdiao tune was added with R&; Seed of love, a scholar who met a young lady in the west wing 12 years ago, and those who came back from to be no.1 12 years later were empty. Reflecting the emotional lines of modern meaning, this feeling of borrowing from the past to describe the present may be Hou Xian's post-modern music style, easily accepted palace-style pop melody and intoxicating artistic conception. Let the West Chamber become the Hou Xian Palace mode R&; B representative works of music.
"Bridge"
The original meaning of the bridge is a plot fragment in the movie. The bridge uses a flashback structure, and the ancient song "Moonlit Night on a Spring River" with the feeling of old records at the beginning has turned into a naughty R&, with childhood walls, classrooms and first love gradually emerging, and then R&; B the rhythm of pop music sets off the romantic childhood scenes one by one: the romantic encounter between grandparents, the old movie played by my father, the kind nagging of my mother, and the variation of "The Moon Represents My Heart" performed by a pipa in the middle, which turned everyone's hearts back to the simple past more than ten years ago. "Bridge" evokes a bridge that has been buried in everyone's childhood for many years.
PS is thought to be sung by Jay Chou in many places. Xiao Xiao ~
"Xiaobai"
Xiaobai was originally the cute little white dog in Crayon Shinchan, and later became everyone's favorite nickname. Straight to the point, the sound of "Lala" brings out the pure and refined artistic conception of "Little White". The simple major, simple rhythm and simple lyrics in a small white tone make you catchy with the 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 that is almost child-like. The image of Xiao Bai is exactly the same. In the arrangement, with the popular rhythm, rap and guitar colorful, the complex arrangement is made into a simple feeling, which sounds simple, but it is not simple.
"Playing truant"
The song with the theme of playing truant is the first time in the music world. At the beginning of a recitation of Tang poetry in a private school, I heard the sound of a bookboy beating the rhythm, and then the teacher's severe reprimand came out. However, the beating rhythm sounded again, and a SOLO of a "sheng" instrument brought a naughty HIP-HOP rhythm style, rapping lightly, casually and smoothly, mixed with classical music. In the tone of playing truant, he made a naughty "revision" of Tang poetry and Song poetry in the book. The word "playing truant" in the lyrics is actually an extremely bookish who refuses to be bound by the feudal teaching system, but has the pursuit of self-music. In ancient times, extremely bookish refers to a person who specially endorsed others and read for others. The word "extremely bookish" has broken the embarrassing burden of "reading for others" under today's exam-oriented education system. It is a courageous song to criticize the flaws of modern education with the ancient background. In addition, the whole song has a strong Gongdiao color in singing and arrangement. Suddenly, a piece of tap music with Scottish violin and clapping sounds added a special feeling of children's interest to the music.
"Love Martians Only"
The popular word "Martians" spread from the Internet, and also became a classic narrator in Stephen Chow's "shaolin soccer", which refers to a guy who knows nothing. In "Love Martians Only", the lovelorn young people would rather find a simple-minded Martians than face the complicated love entanglement of the earth again. It is a romantic fantasy with youthful frivolous. The combination of light rock melodies full of Scottish style and electronic style, coupled with unadorned singing, shows the helplessness of young people after their lovelorn love. In arrangement, the smooth concerto of violin and Jinghu brings a fresh and refined special effect. The gentle rhythm rap highlights the psychological state of teenagers' troubles, which is easy to arouse everyone's * * * sound. The combination of classical tradition and alien science fiction is memorable.
"East Love"
Coincidentally, the abbreviation of "Tokyo Love Story" is also called "East Love". When you listen carefully, you will know that this East Love is not the other East Love. "East Love" describes an "oriental love story", which describes a romantic and sad episode in which an ancient couple secretly express their feelings with riddles, and finally they are bound by feudal ethics, and their young lady marries someone else and their hearts are broken.
"Goldbach Guess"
Is there a connection between the famous mathematical guess and popular songs? In this song, the two are endowed with a wonderful connection, and the feelings of two people plus one are complicated and confused, even if the master guesses for a lifetime, there is no result. "Goldbach Guess" made a classical R & B's bold attempt. The song begins with a piece of 18th 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. The piano and guitar concerto jumped out at the door and the end, accompanied by the singing of traditional Chinese opera, made the whole song full of sparks of bold collision between East and West.
"For Anna"
A melodious Russian organ is slowly heard, which reminds people of "Night on the outskirts of Moscow", and then the Chinese flute weaves a sad foreign love. In the lyrics, two people live far apart from each other, and they can only express their thoughts by letters. One side is Beijing, and the other side is Moscow. Different cultural backgrounds have the same yearning. The whole piece of music is wearing an organ and a flute, which constitutes an ancient or foreign love song, which is the biggest highlight of To Anna.
"Kicking the Pavilion"
From the mysterious opening to the outbreak of the jumping HIP-HOP rhythm, coupled with the Beijing Opera drumming and singing in the middle, "Kicking the Pavilion" conveys the decisive spirit and national integrity of a born calf who is not afraid of tigers with a dramatic plot, which is a song with a brilliant auditory effect in the album, the climax of the combination of true and false sounds. Kicking the door, knocking at the door, and making moves make the whole music plot full of tension. Generally speaking, the song has a strong post-modern music atmosphere, which makes people wonder. The imaginative lyrics convey the momentum of "awesome afterlife". More importantly, 25 is the 6th 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 you are in love and when you break up, your lover's sixth sense intuition is accurate and strong in nine times out of ten. This is a love song about the gray mentality of parting, from the scene description of parting to the contrast between meeting and separation at the beginning of climax, with some lazy singing methods, R&; B-style melody shows the lovelorn memories and the pain between two people vividly. From the beginning to the climax, "pleasant sadness" is the biggest highlight.
In addition, the Antique Wind produced by KingStar Orchestra can be said to be a perfect summary of Hou Xian's "Gu Wan" album.
below, the lyrics of "Antique Wind" by KingStar Band are attached.

Remember to go back to that school. No.3 in the third row, sitting on the legendary heroine
You look at me and laugh at my poor calligraphy practice, and how to write a note with scrawled handwriting
It's a matter of time before you say it. Knife skills are so fast, which school, 36 degrees and ten years, not bad
Qin chess and calligraphy and painting rely on each other, and girl Xiaobai does not learn from Xiao Qiao; The curved eyebrows and nose are upturned, and for me, San Xiao has the rhythm of kicking in the stork building in Puzhou ancient city
by going up one flight of stairs; Complaining about the willows, is it enough to dance in the wind and sand storm beyond the Great Wall? < P > In the bright moonlight in front of the bed, Anna is singing softly. In the night outside Moscow, the black soil in the north and the lake is cultivating Anna's kindness. < P > When you leave your beauty, then
