Chapter 381 is really simple, but I was stupid.
"In your imagination, this is a neat marble staircase shrouded in mist."
"The sun is shining brightly, and the stairs lead straight to the clouds."
"Wearing clean clothes, you climb up the stairs devoutly, the edges of the stairs dotted with flowers."
"Look up and you see the glorious temple. God is accompanied by light, sitting on the throne."
"That is a graceful, luxurious, and perfect-looking human-shaped god. He has a gentle smile on his face and looks at you with loving eyes."
"God? Allah? The Jade Emperor? Or Buddha, you can all substitute it according to your own preferences."
Under Li Jinglin’s description.
Luo Shiyao could easily imagine such a scene.
I immediately felt very novel.
Actually.
Simple and neat steps represent a kind of logical beauty and a kind of harmonious beauty in the mathematical sense.
one two three.
Simple and beautiful.
Such mathematical harmony and logic
It is easy to think of more harmony, that is, more beauty.
Whether it’s an emotion, a sense, a scene, a smell, a color, or an imagined appearance of God.
They will all be your personal summary and summary of beauty.
"And what's the easiest way to turn them into music?"
Li Jinglin chuckled.
Three notes are drawn on the staff.
The three tone levels increase, and the distances on the staff are also very regular and equidistant.
"For example, these three tones, 123, Doremi, this is to ensure the interval relationship of the whole tone, increasing level by level."
"Look, does it look like the steps just now?"
"picture!"
Luo Shiyao nodded immediately.
You don’t need to know anything about music, nor do you need to know what whole-tone intervals are.
Just from the arrangement on the staff, we can tell that this is almost no different from the steps we just drew.
It is still in a very regular upward trend.
This expression is not as abstract as music at all, but a visually similar feeling.
"So, if constructed in this way, this hymn to God is glorious and sacred."
"Even if it only has three notes: 123."
After listening to Li Jinglin's words.
Luo Shiyao nodded.
Even if you don’t fully understand the relationship between whole tones and semitones.
But in fact, I have heard of "major key" and "minor key" more or less.
The simplest understanding of major and minor keys is that major keys are bright and sunny, while minor keys are gloomy.
The hymns that praise the gods are naturally majestic and upright, as if the golden holy light shines on the earth and gives people warmth.
"What's next?"
"Next?"
Having said this, Li Jinglin chuckled.
Then naturally you can start adding some ingredients!
It’s still the three sounds 123 just mentioned.
1 and 3 remain unchanged.
But the 2 position was pulled back.
From 2 to .
then.
The originally harmonious 1-2-3 numerical sequence.
It becomes a ranking of .
In music, it is do, flat mi, mi.
"Wochao, I feel so uncomfortable. I suddenly feel weird."
Luo Shiyao felt like ants were crawling all over her body.
I'm going to have obsessive-compulsive disorder!
What is this horse riding?
There is a hole in the middle of the step that is so good for riding a horse!
When you step on it, it feels like one foot is deep and the other is shallow!
"Then I ask you to continue imagining the sacred and magnificent scene just now. Did your feelings suddenly change?"
"There are traps on the way to meet the gods. You will suddenly feel, is there a trap ahead? Or is it a little fanged devil?"
"The bright sunshine seems to have turned dark. In this scene, has the image of the god in front also changed?"
After listening to Li Jinglin's words, Luo Shiyao nodded repeatedly.
"It's just a simple tone."
Li Jinglin chuckled.
“If you pluck these notes in a series of more complex progressions, the eerie feeling you can create will be even stronger.”
"Under such a strong feeling, if you look at the god you are meeting from the perspective of a bystander, perhaps he is not the [Jade Emperor], but the indescribable Yog-Sothoth."
"Hey guys, there's a picture."
Luo Shiyao trembled and could easily understand what Li Jinglin wanted to express.
For example, let’s talk about some “yin music”.
Suddenly a discordant interval is created, or the volume suddenly gives you a big job, or you can directly play the water piano.
Is the subject discordant?
No! Instead, it takes a lot of harmony to create a sharp contrast.
"Yes, but where does this twisted sense of the sacred come from?"
"Nature builds a sense of sanctity first, and then distorts it."
Although Li Jinglin's words sounded a bit redundant.
But in fact it is often ignored.
Composing actually has rules and steps.
No composer can create such abstract elements as "a twisted sense of holiness, a bizarre sense of justice" out of thin air.
It must first use the beauty of mathematical harmony in music to build a bright whole.
And then "tarnish" it.
"Back on topic."
"The Godskin Apostles hunt the gods and raise the banner of rebellion against the Golden Law. What can we think of them?"
Li Jinglin smiled slightly.
"Don't think too much at this time, let alone engage in deep philosophy."
"If you simply regard the Golden Law as a sacred and inviolable god, and your job is to hunt the god's skinned apostle, then it is naturally blasphemous." "That's it!"
Luo Shiyao nodded suddenly.
"so what?"
"So, let's take a look, what does hymn to God look like in religious music? Let's build a positive progression first."
"Then you twist it."
Li Jinglin wrote about a very common trend of church music.
And some commonly used words in the Psalms are included.
If a musician can see such a passage, the style of the music will immediately appear in his mind.
Hymns!
Immediately.
Then, the music is changed in the passage that best represents the praise of the gods.
Yes, originally, this passage should have used the most glorious and sacred chords.
That is the "Amen chord" commonly seen in Christian music.
A cadence in which a fourth-degree chord calmly transforms into a first-degree chord.
Relaxed and spiritual.
Can be biased.
In this place, Li Jinglin rewrote it into the most evil and unclean chord.
The first thing that comes up is the beginning of the Amen chord, which is the fourth degree chord.
Magnificent, divine, positive.
But the connecting chord that appeared next moment was a fifth-level diminished triad!
Such a way of handling music.
If I describe it in a simple way.
That is "blaspheming" the Amen chord!
It sounds full of evil.
But the previous chord is still composed of the orthodox Amen chord.
Therefore, after "blasphemy", this sense of distortion comes naturally!
This is the end.
A little chord change.
While expressing fanaticism, holiness, and sense of responsibility, it also directly hinted at the blasphemous god-killing behavior of the "Godskin Apostles"!
"How's it going? Does it feel pretty simple?"
Li Jinglin chuckled.
Luo Shiyao couldn't help but nod her head.
The principle is simple, and the operation is actually not that difficult.
It's really not as complicated as imagined.
Nothing more than slapping shit on a sacred chord.
A fanged imp was placed on the god's throne.
But the texture transformation gives people is completely subtle and exquisite.
There is quite a feeling of "great skill but no workmanship".
It was as if the Sun family had been playing tricks for several episodes, and finally discovered that the Turtle Style Qigong could solve the problem better.
"And seemingly complex requirements are not as complex as they appear on the surface in other ways of handling them."
Li Jinglin began to demonstrate to Luo Shiyao.
The various tricks seem complicated, but judging from the description of the principles and the changes in the notes.
In fact, it is like an art student comparing black and white, or red and blue.
Very prominent and clear.
"For example, in the sacred chord progression, I added some radical and uneasy hints, which have a sense of ironic justice. When the audience listens to it, they will receive psychological hints and feel this self-perceived sacredness and justice. A sense of fanaticism.”
"In the chaotic and restless progression of notes, very high and joyful chords are used, which is also a more radical and unstable processing method. This processing method can also be similar to the previous processing method. But different processing contrasts add changes in musical levels.”
This kind of distorted mixture makes the texture of the music suddenly become wonderful.
After writing a rough paragraph.
Li Jinglin used the keyboard to gradually input audio signals into the production software.
After simple mixing, play it and let Luo Shiyao feel it a little bit.
The content of deployment is actually very simple.
For example, choose some of the best brass instruments and use organ sounds that represent religious music to render the texture.
On top of the main melody of the brass instrument, a layer of vocal sample main melody is overlaid.
When the music really comes out.
Luo Shiyao was stunned.
Li Jinglin obviously did it in front of himself, and the principles were not omitted at all, making it very easy to understand.
But there is a very strange sense of déjà vu.
It's like a master told you
"Look, the cement is so harmonious."
"Look, this is how the bricks are laid."
"Look, the steel bars are installed like this."
“See, this is how foundations and load-bearing walls work.”
I can totally understand it.
Even easy to understand.
But in the blink of an eye, a majestic 100-story building full of modern aesthetics and technology rose up in front of us.
Obviously you can understand every step of the master's steps.
But the results are really hard to believe.
"Fuck."
It was indeed simple, but Luo Shiyao was dumbfounded.
Simple and crude, but effective.
The basics are simple, but fantastic.
This is even more shocking than showing off a bunch of high-end operations that people don’t realize are powerful.
"Fuck!"
The confused Luo Shiyao seemed to understand that sentence.
What is called.
High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods.
The strength of a top chef is not in being fancy, but in being able to perfect the simplest cooking methods!
