Miss Bach's Crab Canon

"Ok?"

"Ponytail for you."

"Thank you—how is it?" Gao Yiyu didn't look back until he felt his ponytail tied up, of course it was Joannis, "I just felt good, your melody easily brought me in... and you The rhythm is so steady that I don't even need to catch the metronome."

As a music lover, after playing a piece of music that I think is very good, of course I also look forward to being praised by others.

Especially—there was never such an opportunity before.

But the expected compliment didn't come: "Uh, that's weird..."

"……what?!"

"Your guitar doesn't have a resonance box at all... it's just the strings rumbling..."

Indeed, the electric guitar does not have a resonance box, so the sound of the music coming out is very small, thin, and not harmonious.But it is plugged in, so it should perform well after being converted into an electronic signal, right?Could it be...

"... Difficult, didn't it record? My sound card is plugged into the computer, and recording has already started!" Thinking of this possibility, Gao Yiyu even began to sweat coldly on his forehead, feeling extremely painful in his heart.

Joannis suddenly thought of something, and immediately felt guilty: "I...I seem to... messed up something, maybe I turned off the recording..."

"...No, no, no, no! Don't, ah, ah, ah."

Putting down the electric guitar in a hurry, Gao Yiyu ran to the computer in three steps at a time. The recording interface of the sound card was indeed turned on. What did Joannis click on?It feels like such a good performance, is it just scrapped? !

But after some careful inspection, Gao Yiyu discovered a strange thing.

Isn't this recorded...

Just when I was about to turn around and ask——I saw Joannis holding an electric guitar and smiling mischievously this way: "Haha, you must have been deceived." Her smile gradually restrained, becoming unspeakably soft, "Good to hear."

"You...damn bastard." After complaining, Gao Yiyu laughed himself, unexpectedly being tricked by the ancients with modern technology...

"I've already died! Let's not talk about this, now that the recording is over, teach me the electric guitar? The new instrument is really exciting...more exciting than the first time I touched an organ...this place where I use my feet What is it? And what are these wires for?"

"But until then, give me the guitar back and I'll do one more recording."

"Ok?"

"This is a direct internal recording, so there is no sense of presence. Don't you feel that what you just heard is very thin?"

"...I don't understand, but..." Joannis thought about it carefully. As a great musician, she did find some small problems. The location of the sound?"

“Well, most people record guitar, and they use a mic box. With mic placement, or even multiple mic pickups for flangers and soundstages. Not for internal recording…but there’s an easy way for internal recording— —Record it twice, use post-production adjustments, and just put the two tracks on the left and right.”

"...I don't understand..." Joannis shook her head in despair, "Explain! Explain clearly!"

"Haha, I won't teach you."

……

After finishing the recording work, Gao Yiyu was busy with mixing and post-production all morning.

These are not difficult for her. In this era, free and high-quality tutorials abound, and those who are talented or knowledgeable will pass on their skills without reservation. Therefore, Gao Yiyu has also become a teacher after several years of study. A small and capable producer.

Music production is an amazing business.

Even if the great pioneers unreservedly taught music production methods and details, and even wrote down the equipment they used, apprentices could not become such strong people because of this.

Because—this is the realm of art after all.

What kind of song can be written is the key to everything.

At least before knowing the existence of pop music monsters - Gao Yiyu thinks so.

……

noon--

Gao Yiyu rubbed his eyes and ears after listening to too much audio, feeling his stomach empty: "Joannis, let me teach you."

"Huh?! Are you going to teach me electric guitar and effects?! Or use a computer to make music?!"

At this moment, she is playing the electric guitar on the sofa, and the fingering and chords are the same as the lute she is familiar with, so she is surprisingly quick to learn, but she doesn't understand the parts related to electronics-now, the lack of this part, It seems that it can also be obtained from Gao Yiyu?

"I'll teach you how to cook modern meals so you can cook for me."

"...Damn."

"hungry."

She strummed the strings and said happily, "Let's eat bread."

"I've been eating Walmart rye bread for days and I'm going to throw up."

Immediately, the strings turned into a horrifying atonal music, and so did her words: "I can't understand, how can you dislike such a delicious bread?! Even a picky little girl like Frederick II couldn't eat this bread." Plant something good!"

"No wonder you admire Wal-Mart so much..."

Just when Gao Yiyu wanted to teach the ancient undead about the advanced nature of diet - but her QQ rang.

A somewhat familiar avatar danced in the lower right corner. Gao Yiyu pondered for three seconds and found that he couldn't remember who it was. After opening the notes, he found that this was the client added by the trumpet... She asked Joannis to write a song, the so-called Small baroque fugues in the style of Bach were well paid.

At least that's what it said at the time.

As a result, Gao Yiyu has been busy making an album recently, and Gao Yiyu has forgotten about it...

"Hey, the birthday will be a bit of a failure." The client also added a depressed expression.

"Hey... when did you celebrate your birthday?"

"Just last night..." The client was depressed for a while, and began to describe how he failed.She cramped her feet temporarily and really studied hard for three days on how to reproduce Gao Yiyu's performance, but after all, it was a shoddy imitation of a novice. From that tone, she seemed to have failed.

Gao Yiyu opened her QQ space and took a look——

Her top comment is "Thank you sisters and friends for your support. I was not in good shape yesterday, but I still tried my best to play." She also added a photo of herself in front of the piano, wearing a princess hat, and painted her beautiful face. Birthday cream, but by accident, her finger was in the right place...

But below, he was surrounded by endless praises and birthday wishes...

Doesn't this look like a failure?

At this time, the client sent a new message: "I played a wrong note at the end. Alas, fortunately, they have no artistic accomplishment. They are different from me, so they can't hear it."

"...Oh, it worked?"

"Well, thank you and your master there!"

This guy is quite awesome... Although Joannis deliberately wrote it very simple, but a person with zero foundation can memorize the song in such a short time...

"Because of this year's epidemic, I didn't receive too many gifts, but a bunch of red envelopes with auspicious numbers... Mom threw all the cash to prepare for bottom-selling US stocks, woo-woo. I'll use my pocket money to add some to you, and then How about transferring all the gifts to you, so as to be worthy of the previous agreement?"

After reading the conversation and seeing the Steinway piano on the picture, Gao Yiyu looked back at his small broken house again, it was really melancholy.

There are cheap and old furniture everywhere, a bunch of tattered music equipment in pursuit of cost-effectiveness...there can only be that small painting on the wall that is only worth a piece of broken aluminum strip...

But people are poor and ambitious, so Gao Yiyu gave up part of the reward, but asked such a question——

"You're in a big city, right?"

"Ah."

"Is there a Wal-Mart Sam's?"

After a short silence: "Well, it seems that my relatives have opened a store in front of their house, which is convenient for shopping." The client said so.

After Gao Yiyu went through a lengthy silence: "Then... I want a Walmart membership card, look?"

"...Although I can't understand it, it's okay! I'll ask for one and send it to you along with other gifts that can't fit in the pile."

After giving the address, Gao Yiyu thought about it, and added a belated greeting——

"Happy birthday to you yesterday." By the way, I gave her a free birthday gift in QQ space... At least, this should be a novelty to her...

……

ps

(After thinking about it, I'd better ask for a ticket for the crab...)

035 A hill

When Gao Yiyu wanted to close the chat with the client and get some food to reward his stomach——the client was unwilling to do so.

"Well, when I communicated with you before, didn't the teacher Wang Yuehai who taught me the piano send you a strange picture?"

"You mean the sheet music?"

"Well, Mr. Wang has been asking recently, wondering if your master over there has any clues."

This is a problem.

That piece of music is the original score of "4 minutes 33 seconds", which seals nearly ten thousand pieces of important music that should have made human music more colorful, and it was manipulated by pop music behind the scenes for some evil plan. ...it involves demons, demons, and the magical powers that humans are born with...

But if you tell the above truthfully to the other party, it is estimated that you will be blocked soon.

Today, the picture of the sheet music is being processed by Deli Dolly, she is very interested in that thing, so when this question was taken away by Deli Dolly, Gao Yiyu concentrated on making music with Ioannis——Anyway Deli Dolly Dolly is a free-spirited devil, if she wants to say something, she will come out and explain it, otherwise it will be useless to ask her.

After thinking about it, Gao Yiyu replied: "We are still studying it, but we have some clues. We probably know that it is an influential score in history."

But Gao Yiyu was also curious.

"Ask your piano teacher, how did you get that score?"

The other party's answer was very quick, as if the piano teacher and the client had been watching.

The consignor conveyed: "The picture of the music score was circulated in high-end art circles all over the world after the 21st century. We only know that there is such a picture, but we don't know the actual object and specific information."

"The high-end art circle..." Smiling, Gao Yiyu looked at the next paragraph sent by the other party.

"This picture has been researched and circulated on a small scale for a while, but everyone tacitly never made it public. However, there have been some new news in recent years. It is said that it is held by an extremely influential shadow consortium. The other party released the score picture in order to find more information."

Consortium?Is that a conspiracy theory...

As an old netizen, Gao Yiyu certainly knows a lot of gossip.Ok?Wait, think about it carefully, it seems that I heard a similar group a while ago... She kept rummaging through the quagmire of her memory, and when she seemed to be catching something, the other party sent another message.

"As long as you can give us the relevant information and understanding of the sheet music, the consortium will come to you... We have heard it in the circle. I heard the fugue written by the master over there before, so I can be sure It is a giant with authoritative research on classical music, but I don't know who it will be..."

At the same time, Gao Yiyu in front of the computer opened his mouth, because the authority handed over the sliced ​​bread and stuffed it into Gao Yiyu's small mouth.

"Ah, sesame."

The authority is very diligent and thrifty in housekeeping, and he also picks up the black and white sesame seeds that fall on the table and clothes, blows away the dust that may exist, and hesitates how to deal with them.

Fortunately, Gao Yiyu moved his fingers, and a cluster of flames entangled up. After saluting very magically, he ran to the sesame seeds, roasted them lightly, and put them into Gao Yiyu's mouth with the fragrant paste, which was very convenient .

"Then you sent the sheet music picture, do you want to test the authority's identity, or do you want to get sheet music information from us?"

"Both!" Teacher Wang Yuehai obviously took over the client's mobile phone, because the speed of speaking has slowed down a lot, and she also brought her own emoji, "[Hold fist], I want to make friends with the master, Let’s talk about music together, make contributions to the music industry, and exchange ideas.”

"Then... what do you say?"

"I can't understand these wonderful oriental runes. Is there German? Latin, Italian, and French are also available."

Gao Yiyu had no choice but to repeat it. Although Joannis has mastered many European languages, she probably doesn't know much English... In this regard, the two of them should be at the same level.

"Anyway, she wants to get acquainted with me?"

"Yeah, think you're an old monster in the music industry, and want to hug your thigh."

"...Old, old monster! Damn it, ignore her." Although Joannis was angry for a while, she relaxed again and asked, "Will making friends with her help you?"

"for me?"

"Well, being brought into this era by you, and living with you for so many days, I vaguely know that you are a student with an uncertain future. If you don't go to school, you can tell that you have even given up your studies..."

This time it was Gao Yiyu's turn to look irritable, and he didn't want to talk to Joannis anymore... But after thinking about it, he was actually caring about himself?

In short, let’s clear up the misunderstanding first: “Right now, a plague that is more terrifying than pop music monsters is spreading all over the world. In order to slow down the spread, we follow the principles of public morality and common sense that human beings should have, and reduce contact with people at home, so there is no Going to school, but a continuation of winter break."

"Plague!?" As a European, Joannis instinctively remembered their history.

"A cold that's a little different."

"Then call on people all over the world to let bloodletting together?"

"Haha."

Joannis was silent for a while, coughing awkwardly, although she didn't understand very well, she must have been laughed at.In order to change the subject, she finally ran back to what she was talking about.

"Even if you are someone who gave up your studies, I can understand it, because you have devoted yourself to music, and you have an amazing musical ability..."

Joannis picked up the last sesame seed that fell and kept it in her palm.

"I believe that even in modern times where I don't know much, you will still be an accomplished musician. So... If I go and befriend this piano teacher, will it help your life? She is very social status?"

"Why should you consider me?"
