Chapter 160 Watch Xiaobai Write a Song for You in 5 Minutes

"Writing songs?" Gu Xiaobai squeezed his chin.

Gu Xiaobai, who has passed all the exams this semester, is about to enter the summer semester.

There are four courses in the summer semester, mathematica and its application, metalworking practice, electronic technology practice, and foreign language practice.

They are all practical courses, which are completely different from the previous courses.

Gu Xiaobai can also walk out of the classroom and self-study room, exercise his body, try to socialize, and activate other parts of his brain.

Of course, Dongwon University’s practical courses are not for fun, not to mention software such as Mathematica, which is a killer tool in the scientific research process and must be mastered proficiently. Just talking about a metalworking internship involves basic casting, fitter, Starting from turning, milling, cutting, and grinding, to various CNC machine tools, laser engraving, 3D printing, industrial robots, etc., all have to be studied and studied.

Basically, it is a process from making a hammer to making a rocket. Although it is just a glimpse, it is also very insightful.Not to mention, in the end, they still had to test their hands-on ability, and they had to do something.

These four courses lasted a total of five weeks. In fact, the coursework was not easy, but for the students of the Department of Physics, it was considered a new environment and rhythm.

In other words, Gu Xiaobai should spend more time on music.

After such a long time, writing a song should be enough...

The system thought.

"Writing a song? What? Xiaobai, do you want to write a song?" Wang Haixia heard it from behind, and moved his head over, "Write me, write me!"

Okay, Gu Xiaobai doesn't care. He glanced at Wang Haixia and started writing on the paper.

"I am a hero in this life
Step around the world

proud prince

"White Horse Goes to the End of the World"

"Okay, okay! Write me a story about a young lady falling in love with me!" Party A asked.

Gu Xiaobai continued to write.

"Thousands of fireworks
blind eye

Love and hate

A leaf has not been picked"

Wang Haixia's face darkened: "Are you cursing me as a single dog for thousands of years?"

Turn around and leave angrily.

Next to him, Zhou Xianting came over and said, "Then why not write about me."

"I walk around
who is first

Jian Zhou Shan

Never stay behind for a thousand miles”

"Can Miss Sister's story work?" Zhou Xianting put his hands together.

Gu Xiaobai wrote again:
"If the world is unified
cold sword harvest

when did you ever

Try my infinite skills"

Zhou Xianting's face darkened: "Excessive! And I think your lyrics are dirty! He... tui~"

Gu Xiaobai was at a loss, what was wrong?

Zhao Mo came over, Zhou Xianting blamed him, we are all so miserable, why do you think you have a big face and can hug a young lady?

Zhao Mo looked at Gu Xiaobai with his innocent little eyes that had just woken up, still full of gum.

Gu Xiaobai wrote again.

"You keep silent
Ask between eyebrows

When returning to Zhao

The concubine's heart is empty. "

"Huh?" Zhou Xianting looked over in displeasure, did this steal Miss Sister's heart?

"It's too much!" Zhao Mo glared angrily.

Zhao Mo smiled, and silently wiped away the gum from the corners of his eyes.

Gu Xiaobai continued to write:

"Look at the prosperity of that year
like rain

look at the white horse

Idle too much love cliff. "

Is this really the return of a beautiful woman?

Moreover, the rhyme returns to the first sentence, indicating that this paragraph is over.

It's time for the refrain.

"Xinfeng wine bucket ten thousand
Beside the weeping willow on the high-rise building

Offset white feather sitting on a golden saddle

Watching his emperor and ministers finally have a feast

Meet and drink for the king
How many years have you been a Ranger in Xianyang..."

"Huh... young man?" Zhou Xianting stared.

It's just a juvenile row out of order.

Not only the order of the poems is messed up, but even the order of the poems is changed, which enhances the sense of language and rhythm.

"Then let's call it "Youth Walk." After Gu Xiaobai finished writing, he wrote the title at the top.

It doesn't matter.

"Yo yo yo, amazing, Xiaobai actually wrote an ancient style song..."

"Since when did Xiaobai stop being old-fashioned?"

Where did you put "Yan Yan"!Absolutely the ancient style of the ancient style!

At some point, the three of them came together, Gu Xiaobai rolled his eyes at them, aren't you all angry because there is no young lady?
The system is speechless, why did you write me a lyric in less than 5 minutes?
You... you, you, you are too much, you!

Although there are suspicions of piling up, but...

Lyrics... barely ok. (Note 1)

The system held back tears.

Then it was time to compose.

Gu Xiaobai said: "Just use the Kanon chords directly..."

Gu Xiaobai has no dream in writing songs, he just wants to complete the task and get the reward.

The so-called chords, simply put, are several notes pressed at the same time, three notes pressed at the same time are called triads, four notes are called seventh chords (because there is an extra seventh interval), and there are also ninth chords and so on...

And writing songs with chords is an important way of modern music assembly line production.

Some just set chord trends, and some use chord trends to match different melodies. Of course, the easiest way is to write songs directly with chords.

People who have watched music variety shows in the past two years probably know a magical number, 4536251. In fact, 4536251 can only account for 20% of the songwriting routines in the Chinese music scene. There is another chord progression, which is used more than 4536251. Probably Can have 30%, that is Canon chord progression.

The Canon chord progression is derived from the chords of "Canon". "Canon" is particularly pleasant to listen to and catches the ear, and it is in line with human aesthetics. Many people have played singles on loop.

So this set of chord trends is widely used in pop music.

Canon chords are C, G, Am, Em, F, C, F, G (the one with m is a minor triad, the difference between a major triad and a minor triad is that the internal intervals are different, the major triad is brighter in color, and the minor triad is brighter. Gloomy), which is 15634145, and an early terminated variant C,G,Am,Em,F,G,C, which is 1563461.

The C chord is the three keys of CEG, and so on. The root note (lowest note) is separated by a white key (three notes), press a white key, and then press a white key (fifth note) composition.

Randomly select a few tones (called chord tones) from the chord and place them on the melody line, arrange them horizontally, and then add a few passing tones (the tones in the middle of the two pitches, such as adding 3 in the middle of 1 and 2, become 3, 2, 1, smooth melody line), auxiliary tones (adding other tones in the middle of the same pitch, such as adding a 1 in the middle of 1, 2 to become 1, 2, 1), and other out-of-chord sounds (chords extra notes) to increase the conflict and richness of the melody.

Just like doing a math problem, Gu Xiaobai wrote all the way down, and quickly finished the melody line of the verse.

For the chorus, why don’t you use Canon at all, and change to 4536251, which is more lyrical and more beautiful. Continue to level the chords, just like doing math problems, choose a few and lose a few, add a few and subtract a few, and look at the matching of lyrics and melody lines Adjust the rhythm, add a few out-of-chord voices to the place where the conflict is needed, and increase the tension. It is a bit exaggerated to say 5 minutes. After more than ten minutes, a song appeared on the two blank papers in front of Gu Xiaobai. .

"Youth Walk", Kanon carried out +4536251, Gu Xiaobai, who had no dreams, just wrote a song without dreams.

Gu Xiaobai hummed twice, followed the melody line, modified a few places that felt awkward, and clapped his hands:

"Okay, the next step is to record it."

system:"……"

Gu Xiaobai, you give me a little bit, please take the music seriously, don't mess around like this!

It's no wonder that a song you wrote in 5 minutes can get praise from netizens!
A musician without a dream is not a musician!
(Note 1: The lyrics were written by Uncle Ha in 5 minutes, and the rhetoric and intentions were piled up + the adaptation of "Youth Walk", so don't be too demanding.

Note 2: For interested iPhone users, you can open GarageBand, input notes with the Piano Roll, and directly search out the notes of Canon chords, fill them in and write a paragraph by yourself, pay attention to the duration of each note. What, adjust it again and listen to it again, you will find it sounds good... If you have time, at the position of the lower octave, match the chords according to the position of the chord transition (you can increase the richness by displacing back and forth), and you will find that you I wrote a very nice melody, if you are interested, add some drums, and then you can send it to Moments to pretend to be aggressive... As for android users, I don't know if there is any related software, I have never used it...

Note 3: There are many songs written in this way. For example, Jinsha's "Myth of the Stars and Moon", which is written entirely in Canon chords (Kinsha's lyrics and music singing), was popular for a while about 10 years ago... It is said that this At the beginning of the song, the record company refused to include it in her album, probably because it was too streamlined, but I didn't expect...it became popular...)
　Let's update the two chapters today.

　　There are a lot of dry goods, I don't know if I can understand it.
