On the one hand, in a piece of music, the bass is the most difficult part of the song, because it is in the low frequency band, and the timbre is heavy and deep. On the other hand, compared with the guitar, the bass player often has relatively fancy skills, and many people will ignore him in playing, as if he were "invisible".
However, if you deeply understand the composition of a piece of music, you will find that the bass player is a very important role in the band, and the bass is an important part of a piece of music, even a soul-like existence. In the rock band, bass, as the bass part of the whole band, can be called the guide of harmony and melody, and is the conductor of everyone in rhythm. The quality of a bass player can directly determine the success or failure of a band performance.
Among many bands in China, there are many "sweeping monk" bassists, such as the gorgeous and graceful Tang Dynasty bassist, the wild and unrestrained high-speed violent overloaded bassist Wang, and the plain and quaint Confucius bassist Akino.
Although it seems "invisible", it is absolutely indispensable for the band. Recently, another "invisible" person has once again entered the public eye. He is Wang Leyan, a legendary bassist in China and a former member of Bao Jiajie 43.
A while ago, the second season of Summer of the Band came to an end. In the last episode, the reunion of Bao Jiajie 43 attracted the attention of the whole music circle. Times have changed, and the famous singer Wang Feng has changed from a rebellious rock boy to a good husband and father. China legendary bassist Wang Leyan has also changed from an unruly teenager with long hair to a pure music composer who has been silent for many years. Wang Leyan also mentioned in the program that this is the only reunion of Bao Jiajie in 43 or 20 years, and it is a commemoration.
Of course, time is changing, not only temperament, but also life. After Wang Leyan and architect Lele formed an open combination, they stopped focusing on music creation and began to explore and explore the beauty of life.
Compared with the former full-featured rock group, today's works cover many fields, including world music, electronic music, atmosphere music and so on, and most of them are pure music without lyrics. Openness is not based on flow, but on the expression of inner feelings. Use the most direct music to let the audience feel it actively. A thousand people can hear a thousand wonderful artistic conceptions.
Before attending "Summer of the Band", the Open Band conducted an interview with Konka on the theme of "Together, Let Beauty Grow Naturally". During the interview, the two expressed their understanding of music and "being together". Wang Leyan said: Many things can only be done together. Lele said that "together" can be very happy, can do many beautiful things, can also be very powerful, can do very important things.
In the interview, their answers are as quiet as their music. In "Summer of the Band", Zhang Yadong once commented on five people: You are what you make. Their music and life are harmonious and unified, which will be very attractive. The same is true of aboveboard combinations.
It is reported that Lai Lei Group will also tour in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and other places with the theme of "Promised Land", including special welfare vinyl records (not for sale) jointly launched by Konka and Lai Lei. If you are also interested in pure music, you might as well pay attention to it.
