This album contains the essence of folk songs in Northwest China, which is far away from hometown. In the form of expression, in addition to the most simplified wooden case organ, for those ancient tunes that can be sung without accompaniment, or high and excited or gloomy, because of the addition of Western instruments and the trimming of the structure, it has a unique flavor. In front of different ears, it presents different tastes and aesthetic standards.

evaluate

To a large extent, Suyang's music is an alternative rock in Northwest China. It is a mother tongue rock with kerosene stove style and red pepper style of dispersion and jumping, combined with the grand and vast melody of northwest folk songs. People can listen to such deep and exciting music at any time with any action and attitude. At a higher level, the significance of this attempt lies in a Chinese musician's understanding and exploration of globalization and multiculturalism. For Su Yang, ten years of hardships and tribulations have turned into ten poems that can reach ancient and modern times and cover rivers.

Not in the name of race, not in the name of region, not in the name of culture, not in the name of position, only in the name of music, using music standards to test music quality, Su Yang and his Xianliang are waiting for your test. Disguised people will soon die, the child will be immortal, and has been remembered.

origin

"One day, we found a few folk songs that we knew well from childhood. We never know what her whole song is like. Sometimes I am on the way to find folk songs. I hate the word" Caifeng ". I would like to see their life, their attitude towards singing in life, how they use their bodies to complete singing, rather than using staff or Arabic numerals to record their songs Melody, in fact, we don't have to visit to find the so-called artistic dream. In many places like that, our parents grow up in barren but stubborn ways, the desolate yellow sand beach and earth houses, the Yellow villages, there is no green at all, the solid ice beside the withered grass in winter, and the people who come and go together for a lifetime. They can understand every family in the village very well, our father and I Mothers, uncles and aunts, endure barrenness, build factories and make fertilizer here. They quarrel and cry for the low salary after being busy. They laugh for the improvement of their life. We, and later teenagers, also live in barren land, so stubborn, our lives are changing, following the rising small towns.

At sunrise, all kinds of street parks, along with the busy car horn, the old people play disco music and dance. Xiali brand taxis, tractors and motorcycles wipe their shoulders. When night comes, the street women and the female staff who have worked overtime for a whole day wipe their shoulders. Not far from the wide street, there is a large field full of all kinds of chemical fertilizers. Why not? All illusory and real, our life is more composed of this, what do we say the original ecology? Our blood is quietly losing. We want to replace it with the so-called globalization of the unified standard and the unified posture of looking forward. The professional white shirt of the unified brand in the society should be measured by the unified classic timbre in our hands and classified by various routines. The throat and heart under this package are gradually changing. However, on both sides of the street, There are still dialects from all over the country, such as the noodle shops of Shaanxi people, the Ningxia people with obvious local accent, the noodle shop assistants of Gansu Province, the mutton kebabs of Xinjiang, the true and false monks from Henan Province, the sound of rowing at night and the heavy northwest accent in all kinds of bars decorated in Northwest China are still like in the battlefield. This is the result of our quickening pace, the new folk in the new century and the new music form Can we have our own language today for the people who once made the sound of yugushu, Xianxiao and Qinqiang? Can you have your own habits? Can you sing the nearest song to the crowd? Can you sing in life? Can you make tears and laughter more direct in singing? Can you try to get the blood back into the body? Can you sing with your own body through your throat? I hope to hear the voice of our clumsy expression, about the land gradually engulfed by roads and buildings, about the simple and humble people who run like ants and live in fear, about the crying and laughing of our blood, about the news of our changed hometown, about the details of life, more but more than that.

In a word, I hope to sing happily in my life

——Su Yang, October 15, 2006
