The experience of the inspiration band

When I was very young, I heard from adults that it used to be very popular for children to hold a "grab the week" ceremony when they reached the age of one. Sometimes I often wonder, have these four "inspiration" members caught Zhou? Did they all choose flute or harmonica or something? Because you will suddenly find that when they are singing, or when music is flowing in their veins. It was during this private chat that I accidentally found such a photo taken at 1988 and put it on the inside page of the album. That was more than ten years ago, when four small partners were only ten years old and were still studying at Yangpu District Juvenile Art School in Shanghai. At that time, they sang in the choir and became friends who talked about everything very early. After rehearsals and performances, it is inevitable to fight and laugh at each other, but it is in this kind of nursery rhymes that everyone's feelings are more intimate because of music! Looking at the bright smiles of the three boys in the photo, people can't help but feel that they should be born with music!

1990, the members of "Inspiration" went to Osaka, Japan for an exchange performance on behalf of the Shanghai Youth Choir, which caused a sensation. Although "Inspiration" was not called "Inspiration" at that time, as for the film release, perhaps these four children didn't even think about it at that time! Now, although the photos in their hands have turned yellow, the musical dreams of Chen Chao, He Fei, Cai Wei and Li Chen have never faded. When they met again many years later, generate, the inspiration of music, had a tacit understanding, so "inspiration" was born. Their persistence and seriousness in music have not changed for more than ten years.

April 2002 1 1, this day may be unforgettable for inspiration. Because their own records are in front of them on this day. Ten years' dream has really come true. On April 1 1 day, 2002, four league members were at a loss. They all deeply realized the ups and downs of the birth of this album.

When planning this album, the company tried to show the inspiring singing skills of these four members in the record. In addition to the well-known Inspiration, Fading, We Know You Love Him, How Can I Stay Away from You, Xiaoke, the invitation songs from all over Asia have a strong R&The Spirit of Love with a B and Jazz flavor, covering the classic song I can't forget, and of course, the theme song I am crazy about singing, a large-scale animated film hit in the mainland. This time, after a brand-new mixing process, you will experience the charm of music again with a brand-new rhythm. The diverse styles of the album and the rich musical expressions in the songs will definitely keep you silent for 45 minutes!

Of course, what makes your eyes shine is the fresh cover design of this record. In order to fully show the quiet characteristics of Chen Chaoshuai, He Feiku, Chen Limei and Cai Wei and the different musical emotions in the records, the photographer specially chose the newly completed Shanghai Science and Technology Museum to take cover photos. The huge glass curtain wall in the background highlights the clean appearance of the city. In order to highlight the importance of this album, just like the days when we took publicity photos and music videos, four members came to the company at 4: 30 in the morning to do makeup modeling. After a month in a row, the four league members obviously lost a lot of weight, and Li Chen's cute little face even had dark circles.

How can I not get close to you is another special work in the album Inspiration. One of the characteristics is that the arrangement and production of songs are led by Taiwanese musicians, among which the producers are Shen Guangyuan and Luo Hongwu, the famous former Red Ant Orchestra. Second, the song style is pure R &；; B style, melody is natural rhythm, fresh and natural.

The Red Ant, led by Shen Guangyuan and Luo Hongwu, set off a wave of orchestras in Taiwan Province Province in the middle and late 1980s, and then formed a "friendly dog music production company". Lin Xiaopei, who rose in the pop music scene in Taiwan Province Province in the early 20th century, was even more proud of being a "friendly dog"! The producer of such a big name customized this song "How can I not get close to you" for inspiration. This time, they also made mainland pop music works again after they participated in the production of "The Fire of China" series in 2002. Of course, they made more efforts. How can I not be by your side is a well-known R&; B, but the orchestration is just right. A beautiful guitar runs through it, and with simple lyrics, I feel a fresh wind blowing on my face.

Although it is also about the feeling of unrequited love, musically, "How can I not be with you" is much easier than "We know you love him". Perhaps this secret love is a sweet and unforgettable feeling, and it is more appropriate to feel it with a natural voice, but this is also the real difficulty of the work. When love dies, some people get depressed, get deeper and deeper, and some people suddenly realize and finally get rid of it, but in any case, when a real relationship ends, inner pain and struggle are always inevitable, and then slowly begin to understand the truth in love and grow up slowly. The latest single "Fade" of the inspiration group is the original ecological reflection of such a special moment with music.

To say the song "Fade", the first thing to mention should be Xiao Ke, a famous musician. Mr. Feng Haining, the production department of the company, has communicated with Xiaoke to write songs for his new album. The inspiration group came across Xiao Ke in a prize-winning activity in a foreign country. Xiao Ke enjoyed their live harmony performance very much, so he talked with them about many musical ideas. In a pleasant chat, Inspiration once again told Xiaoke that he hoped he could write some songs according to the sound characteristics of Inspiration, and Xiaoke readily agreed. Unexpectedly, a few weeks later, the company received two creative samples: the theme song style of the youth idol drama Fade, the faint jazz and the blues Love Elf. In the end, the company chose "Fading" as a new wave of main single, during which the song was also revised many times. From the bitterness at first to the faint relief later, it gradually moved closer to the mentality of young people.

So in the hottest weather in late July, the inspiration group flew to Beijing to record songs. As soon as I got off the plane, I plunged into the shed and interpreted the whole process of love fading with my heart. After entering the recording studio, Xiao Ke gave inspiration a basic framework to feel, so there were many improvisations, and the final works were enriched by everyone. In the inspiration group, He Fei is in charge of the treble, Chen Chao sings the main theme, Cai Wei is the bass part, and the voice of the only female voice, Li Chen, is between the treble part and the main theme. When the four voices are combined, there is a feeling of dialogue and communication.

After the song is finally recorded, it gives people this feeling. At first, they confided in each other's pain, only to find that it was actually just the frustration that young people would encounter together. In the final echo, they showed mutual understanding, and finally everyone got a real relief.

The sudden death of love is the attitude of modern young people towards feelings. There is no entanglement, leaving the beauty to the past. Although the past is beautiful, it can only be like a smile fixed in a photo. Young people's love is not utilitarian. Apart from their attachment to feelings, why not face everything easily when everything is gone?

After recording the song, every member of the inspiration experienced an emotional test. Go out of the recording studio, come to nature, and let go of your mood. In order to shoot the publicity photo of the single, Inspiration came to a racetrack in the suburbs of Beijing, where there are mountains, water, flowers and grass, as well as many horse races and dogs, which really makes the inspiration members very happy. Inspired, I changed into three sets of clothes, different colors and different feelings: first, a white shirt stood in a cornfield, which looked like a group of "cornfield watchers", then I changed into a black one, which looked mysterious when I stood in the Woods, and finally, I was the coolest flowered shirt. My mood will light up, and all kinds of Pose will naturally show up. The weather is sunny, and the photographer keeps cheering me on, saying that this is the feeling of youth. Many actions are designed by inspiration, such as standing on the roof waving your arms and flying, and the expression of naughty visit behind the wooden fence, which has been recognized by the photographer. Maybe it can really inspire nature.

When the whole world is selling cheap feelings

When we are carried away by numb love

Also, we have "inspiration"
