experience

In 1998, two members of simpleband began to work together on campus and pub performances. In 1999, simpleband was formally established. the 2000 singles "too tall" and "don't think about it" were produced by rolling stone (China). in 2002, simpleband signed a contract with rolling stone to prepare for the recording of its first record. Taiwan's famous musician, Xiaochong, personally produced the album and went to the United States for post-processing. In 2003, simpleband's single "don't think about it" and "Bai Ai Le" were included in the original soundtrack "biography of heroes in Sui and Tang Dynasties". 2004 simpleband's first album was released.

On February 23, 2005, I met mingmeng school on Chunshu's blog. I heard the song "tea soup" and was "scared" by the strange voice. In 2004, the birth of long Kuan Jiuduan brought a big surprise to the mainland music creation field, but people ignored the mingmeng school, which is also an excellent composition group in the mainland music world. If you search for mingmeng Sect on major portals, the name of "long Kuan Jiu Duan" will appear in the relevant search. It's true that the composition and style of the band are similar to each other. What's more, the Ming Meng school is called the second section of long Kuan's ninth section. In my opinion, this is a ridiculous statement. After listening to this album, it can be said that, at least, the two are at the same level. As for which is better, it's another matter. Simpleband is composed of a Ming, the core boy of creation, and a Meng, the girl with the devil's voice. Both are graduates of Polytechnic University. The album of the same name was produced by Taiwan pop ace producer Xiao Chong. When Xiaochong heard the demo of mingmeng school, he was attracted by a Meng's unique voice. He described the strange hearing feeling at that time - "a pure girl between children and adults" and "but there is a mystery behind it". Xiaochong's understanding of a Meng's voice quality summed up that "there are some devil's personalities in her singing, very fierce; what she sings out is that You are innocent. For the center of the band, Amin's creative talent, bug is to give a high degree of appreciation. "Amin's melody is very attractive to me. Unlike the structure of popular songs, his songs will be upside down..." "Sometimes a short paragraph will be repeated all the time, making people want to know what he wants to say and why his mood has changed." Maybe it's just because of this that the whole album exudes this kind of power of secret freedom. It's thanks to the appreciation and trust of the masters that the mingmeng school is given free rein. They strive to be unrestrained and diversified, with distinctive style, making classical and modern, Eastern and western, folk songs and rap, gentle and violent, happy and sad organically in this simple band Will be able to impact, produce a dazzling light, but also makes the seemingly opposite factors in the same music has been a perfect combination.

Album style

Perhaps this is the magical effect created by the genius of mingmeng school and the skill of Xiaochong. To the producer bug, the album "simple band" sounds like a battle between angels and demons. Ah Meng's voice sometimes sounds like "Stinky milk", sometimes it's stubborn, and sometimes it's very reckless. She's been in such a process all the time. "Since a Meng's voice is very nice, I think why don't I darken the background and let her voice jump out? I make the background music very loud, make her voice stand out... " "I want to make people listen and touch! A sound, an irregular bomb thrown out, split personality will run out at any time!! I want to do this kind of disordered attitude! and the album also lost people's appetite in the copywriting design, boasting "absolutely heavy taste, absolutely wild animal wind" and the mysterious "when an angel opens her mouth, you see the devil in her throat, see the spirit in her pupils, return to the herbaceous sound quality, sneak into the hallucinogenic sound". This weird description is really in a Meng's voice Do enough suspense. What is worth recommending is "tea soup". It is worth mentioning that it is a sad and beautiful classical love deduced by Fang Wenshan, the lyricist of Jay Chou and the ghost spirit. It is also the only song not made by mingmeng school. It is worth mentioning that his music arrangement is very unique. At the beginning of the song, there is a clear sound of bubbling tea soup, which leads people into the ancient artistic conception created by the mingmeng school. Then, the sound of bubbling tea soup runs through the whole song, seeing a separation and waiting with strong Chinese style. It is like an elegant and sad ink painting, like a graceful Song Ci. Then there are the lyrics. I have to admire Fang Wenshan's exquisite handling of the details, which is unbearable. There is almost no room for doubt and revision. In addition, ah Meng's emotional interpretation and unique voice make the song covered with a layer of water mist, which makes it feel like a lake. Even if it is wet, you can see the bright luster on the lake.

release conference

On October 27, 2004, rolling stone records held a new album release for its first album of the same name, simple band of Ming Meng school. Mingmeng group is another two person group created by rolling stone records after Yu Quan. The difference is that this group is a boy and a girl. At the press conference, Taiwan's famous producer, Mr. Xiaochong, was present to build momentum for his beloved apprentice. "One day, I overheard the works of the mingmeng school, and I was attracted by a Meng's distinctive voice. Ah Meng's voice is like an angel mixed with a devil. He has a naive temptation. After thinking about it for a week, he decided to sign a contract with the mingmeng sect. Mingmeng school is a rare element in the Chinese music world, and their appearance has made the current music style more diversified. " In order to make the first album of mingmeng school as perfect as possible, rolling stone records let the producer Xiaochong be responsible for the quality of the music at all costs, and specially invited Fang Wenshan, Jay Chou's imperial poet, to write a warm "tea soup" for him

Amazing style

On January 13, 2005, the word "amazing" includes not only the "surprise" of the subjective feeling of the patient, but also the "beauty" of the objective existence of the agent. It can not be used casually on someone or something. However, I have repeated it more than 20 times, and I still can't find a second adjective more appropriate than "amazing" -- they are mingmeng school. it's hard to define a clear style for them. Let's say Brit hop is heavier than hip hop's percussion music, and it adds a lot of electric guitar and electric bass to make it a bit of rock and roll. At the beginning, I would associate them with Hong Kong independent girls, but I soon found that the music of Ming Meng school has a strong potential for popularity. Such as "white love" consistent four chord guitar decomposition, loop reciprocating between all of a sudden caught the ears of the listener. Similarly, there are "not free, not in love" and "too tall". Through the swaying arrangement, the simple melody is superimposed layer upon layer to achieve the effect of "voluntary attention" in psychology. This is similar to long Kuan's "I love you the most when I listen to this kind of music". In fact, under the fashionable electronic arrangement of simpleband, Xianyi's folk songs of the old and the young are still so eloquent. The album's only cover song "Shua Qi" is adapted from Jin Haixin's representative ballad
