a haze in the morning. The reporter came to a small studio in Ruyi Street where Zhang Qian's "ideal holiday" band was strained. The recording studio is not big, but the sparrow is small and full, and the equipment is very advanced. Zhang Qian's wife is now the agent and recording director of their band. She is an absolute fan of Zhang Qian and is also coming to Zhang Qian with music. She told reporters that their music studio is called orchard music, which means "fruitful". Now the studio can record and rehearse. In fact, it is mainly for Zhang Qian to rehearse or record songs.
, as a member of the post-80s, is also going to be in the first half of the year, but it is difficult to find the vicissitudes in Zhang Qian's body. He has a kind of dreamlike smile on his round face. As the lead singer of the band, he is the soul of the band. In his communication with his teammates, he can feel his tacit agreement with his teammates.
Zhang Qian's experience is very legendary. He studied the dulcimer from primary school, later studied at the Shandong art school, a recording at the University of Beijing. After graduation, he taught a drum in the school. He said half jokingly that he had played almost every instrument that struck. Because of family reasons, he returned to Ji'nan, once at the Shandong LV theater as a tuner, sold the sound, opened a shop, and now, in addition to music, he also made a photography studio, specially for Tmall, Taobao and other online shops. Many delicious Jinan people may have an impression of a restaurant called "fish humble", which is also a career of Zhang Qian. He smiled and said, because he likes to eat, and like to cook, so that year opened a restaurant like this. I just wanted to do some fun, but I didn't expect to develop into more than 30 branches in the country.
, however, no matter what kind of work he is doing, for Zhang Qian, music is his ultimate dream. He started playing band in 1995, played in bars and restaurants, attended competitions and all kinds of music festivals. Although he had left the band for some time, the band was always an ideal of his heart. In 2014, Zhang Qian's son looked at the video before him and suddenly asked, "Daddy, why don't you play?" This is a great touch for Zhang Qian. He began to want to reorganize a band and go back to his favorite field.
is also a kind of fate. Soon after that, a man named Zang Hui added his WeChat to ask him a good guitarist, Zang Peng Yuan, and he was playing with Beth, and he wanted not to be a band. Zhang Qian's heart began to move, but he still wanted to be drummer at that time. However, because it was not ideal for a number of songs to be found, Zhang Qian finally made his own lead singer and found a beautiful drummer in the post - 90s, which finally confirmed the present class. In the name of the band, Zhang Qian continued to use the name "ideal holiday" because they wanted to make the brand longer, "not a short band."
"ideal holiday" is now mainly singing their own songs, usually created by Zhang Qian, Beth hand Zang Hui participated in the compose, they tried various styles, Zhang Qian said, it was like eating, every style should be tried. When asked when he was most satisfied with that song, Zhang Qian smiled and said, "I feel like I am constantly surpassing, and every new song will be better than before." At this point, he was excited to tell the reporter that, in the past, a "sing for you" had been on the Baidu independent music list without any help, more than 12000 hits. Reporters noted that as early as the morning of August 3rd, the song has been ranked first in the independent music list.
Zhang Qian now, they keep rehearsing two or three times a week together, and for a musical detail, a few people will argue, but in the end they will agree to continue their music dreams.
live to be old enough to sing until 85 years old
with reu Xinjie and his "upper class" band, well known in Ji'nan's underground band circle, almost all known. From 2009 to now, the "upper class" band is relatively fixed, with the exception of Wang Yunlong, who joined Sax last year, and the others are old men.
Lu Xin Jie has been playing Orchestra since he was 18 years old. It has been more than 20 years now. Lu Xin Jie laughed and said that he was fond of music that year, and there was a band lacking a lead singer in the school. When I first performed, I was very nervous. When I introduced myself, I said, "my name is Lu Xin Jie, the gourd of cucurbit." There was a smile on the table. At that time, Lu Xin Jie was just ignorant of music. He liked music and felt very fashionable and very personality. After going to college, one day, he suddenly heard people say, "Nitzsch said, happiness lies in being desperate." it seems to have an insight into the feeling of music. From then on, it was unmanageable and on the way to the music.
speaking of creation, Lu Xinjie said that his own creation is all feeling, may have something or something to feel, can write a song. So far, I have created dozens of songs, these songs are the same as their own children, can not tell the better, but with the constant change of the mood, the passage of time, the feeling will be different.
the family condition of Lu Xin Jie is not good. He has been earning money from many bars and restaurants in Ji'nan since 2001. At the most difficult time, he could only sleep for 4 hours a day, but for music, he was able to endure and enjoy it. Now, he and his band are already very famous in the circle of Ji'nan, but the famous music festivals will invite them to join us. He said, going out, on the one hand is to see other people's things, increase their knowledge, on the other hand is to let people know themselves and increase their popularity. In 2015, the "upper class" band was invited to Shanghai strawberry Music Festival and received a lot of praise, which made Lu Xinjie very excited. At the moment, they are also preparing to take part in several music festivals, and are preparing to record their second albums.
in the "upper class" band, a lot of people are music lovers with stories, such as guitarist Yun Hai Tao, now a company clerk, but it was once a member of the "North drift". He once lived in the countryside in the suburbs of Beijing, playing a one hundred or two hundred - piece rural wedding banquet. When three meals did not follow, there was only one egg - filled pie without eggs. How hard and hard it was for the music dream, he persisted. Beth, who was in charge of "Twelve small music studios", did a lot of work, but he didn't stick to the band except the band.
perhaps this is the music dream that allows members of the "upper class" band to come together like a family. Lu Xinjie told reporters that they had to live until they were old enough to sing to the age of 85.
make music from yourself to creating opportunities for others to play music
see rojia, a bar near mountain road, and he is now the music director here. Although it has just passed, but Luojia looks more vicissitudes. Perhaps because of too much experience, the young man who had never been trained by a Coban, learned his guitar and learned to learn composing, and the "gear" band participated in the "Pepsi group music competition" in 2009, second in the Shandong final and the first place in the Shandong final to enter the north area of the country. It also won the top ten in the North final by fifth. In the same year, his song "Spring City" became an important publicity song in Ji'nan during the Eleventh National Games. Later, he signed a well-known company, but because he could not perform with the band, he returned to Ji'nan. However, reality is always cruel. Many things can not be accomplished without enthusiasm. He had been depressed for a while, but at last he was still in love with music. In 2013, he reorganized a band called "Mr. mungbean". He said that the band didn't figure out money, it was for the dream of music.
on the road of music, Luojia paid too much: in order to form a band, he bought musical instruments by himself. No place for rehearsal, he built a small house on his own homestead. In order to continue on this road, he rejected the work arranged by his family, gave up the good treatment of the civil servants, even the girlfriend who had already talked about marriage abandoned him.
but ROA still didn't give up. Although he has a new band, he insists that "gear" still exists. He said, musicians are not businessmen, but now too many musicians are short-lived. He wants to do music for a long time. "Gear" is one of his illusions, while "mung bean" is one of his hopes. He still insists on writing his own songs. Although he has little time to work, he says he will go on.
now he is the art director in the bar as the art director, as a culture communication company, and also wants to create a dream for more people. He wants to create a Ji'nan original space, because he has gone through a lot of curves, hoping to tell the people of their own experience and make a great contribution to the native original. Extended reading Shandong will integrate original music resources to promote the development of
in Ji'nan, and many musicians are working hard for original music. Their love for music is national and regional. In the vicinity of Quancheng Square, for example, a foreign friend is often seen playing. The Brazilian, named Paul, told reporters that he liked music and came to China to engage in music education. Performing on the roadside is nothing else, just because the atmosphere is very good and feels better than anywhere else. There are many other musicians like him in Ji'nan.
Shandong Provincial Association guitar Specialized Committee president Luo Dalin told reporters that, compared with previous years, Ji'nan's original band has a few features, one is that equipment and technology are much better than before. If a worker wants to do something good, he must first use his tools. Now the band has good equipment and high-speed communication channels, and it will develop faster than before. Second, the universities in Ji'nan are now starting to specializes in pop music, and guitar and Beth all have postgraduate programs to get more people to join the original band. Third, now the social openness is high, and the restrictions are less. The social culture is more tolerant to the diversity of musical forms, and to a certain extent, it has promoted the original development. Fourth, there is more music across the border now, a lot of art rock, classical rock and roll has developed more vigorously, and even Chinese elements are added to the original music.
director of the Department of modern pop music of Shandong College of Arts and Guo Jianyong, President of the Shandong Association for audio and music, introduced Guo Jianyong. The current development of pop music in our province, especially original music, is slow. But since last year, the provincial Music Association has become a popular music Specialized Committee specially to strengthen the development of this area. At present, all cities in the province have branches. Next, they will integrate the resources of original music, introduce more professional elements, and promote the development of original music by means of training, performance and competition.
