"In fact, temporary silence is not necessarily a bad thing. If you walk in a hurry, you will be impetuous and sing for the sake of singing. Such songs will be empty. We will grow up and think in life, and then record these bits and pieces and turn them into creations. This kind of work will be much more fulfilling. " After five years of precipitation, Yang Zhicong and Euler have accumulated more mature ideas and concepts. During this period, they felt that the songs they created intermittently could be assembled and introduced to fans. At this time, they have just welcomed a new member of Asha Group-Mabirada.
Mabilanda is also from Yanyuan. Since 2002, he has been a dancer in Changchun Song and Dance Troupe of Jilin Province, and in 2005, he was a dancer in Guangyuan National Song and Dance Troupe. He once participated in the evening performance of "Love Tibet Harmonious Home" and the "5. 12" disaster relief performance in 2008. At the end of 2008, after he returned to Yanyuan, he got to know Yang Zhicong and others because he was a dance coach in an entertainment venue and was born in the literary and art circles. The two hit it off and came together with their love for music. In 2009, he officially joined Axia Group.
"The bass of Rada just filled the vacancy of dubbing after Ake left, with good stage image and rich performance experience. His participation has injected new elements into our group and brought us a better and newer atmosphere. " Yang Zhicong said with satisfaction. Rada, who has been wandering in other places for many years after going out from Yanyuan, is also very happy to join the xia delegation after returning to his hometown: "I heard about them when I was outside, and I also heard their songs and understood their music, so everyone cooperated smoothly. I hope we can create better results together. "
Xia Group's new album contains 10 songs, including 8 Chinese songs and 2 Yi songs. Eight Chinese songs, such as Wind in the Southern Plateau and A Xia's Love, were all composed by Yang Zhicong, and two Yi songs, such as Waiting and Sorrow, were composed by others. At present, audio recording is basically over, and MV shooting is about to take place.
According to Yang Zhicong, compared with the refreshing, warm, catchy and popular style of the first album, this album is more dignified while inheriting the high-quality style, integrating ethnic, pop, rock and other elements, strengthening the harmony part, spending more effort on production, adding more instrumental accompaniment, and making it more dignified as a whole. "With the passage of time and the growth of experience, our concept will certainly become more mature and introverted, and we are as happy as people, which will be reflected in the songs."
There is also a pure music "Journey to Hometown" in the album, which is mainly played by cucurbit flute with only a few harmonies. "There are many ways to break through in music. I usually listen to pure music works such as Ingmar and Bandari, and I think pure music is also beautiful. I can express a deeper and broader artistic conception with a tune without words, so I created this song. " Yang Zhicong asked reporters to listen to this song quietly, feeling that it has something in common with the masterpiece "Original Scenery of Hometown" by Japanese Tao Di master and composer Zong Cilang, giving people a feeling of loneliness and vicissitudes, and making people imagine the sunset on Lugu Lake, the wind blowing, the blue waves rippling, the reeds shaking and the distant mountains boundless.
Never give up your musical dream.
"In fact, to some extent, we are marginal people. Suppose you are a singer. You are not as famous as fame and fortune. Suppose you are an ordinary person. In the eyes of others, this group of musicians are very strange and avant-garde. There seems to be some aura, but we are usually ordinary teachers and employees. Music is just our dream. This dream makes our life more passionate and pursued, and it also makes us more persistent. "
For this dream, they have traveled all over the country to sing songs, bearing the guilt of being a wanderer with relatives and friends; For this dream, after they returned to their hometowns to be rural primary school teachers, they stroked their guitars in the middle of the night and sang to the mountains and the waning moon; For this dream, they rode through the rugged and long mountain road and rushed to rehearse together; For this dream, they parted and got together, stopped and set off.
"Dreams are eternal, but previous dreams are illusory, and it is futile to do it. Now dreams are more real and can be realized by touching. " Yang Zhicong paused for a moment, then smiled with a hint of imperceptible sadness: "So now our new album is looking for a meeting point, which is both art and market, as well as self and audience. This is rational creation, and I believe this is also the pursuit of most musicians. "
According to Yang Zhicong, the production cost of this album is basically self-raised. "Now we haven't won the prize, but please allow me to express my thanks. Without the support of relatives, friends, Yanyuan Ethnic Middle School, the propaganda department of the State Committee and the national radio and television media, and the support of the audience for many years, we could not have reached today, and we have not given up our dreams. I hope you will continue to support us and let our dreams shine in our * * *.
