Chapter 346 The correct way to apply experimental music!
Teasing his girlfriend seems to be every man's interest. Anyway, it is most vividly reflected in Li Jinglin. Only by constantly approaching death can we understand the true meaning of life. Death is like the wind, always with me. as predicted. After Li Jinglin finished speaking. Luo Shiyao put down the computer with a smile, then stood up and walked to Li Jinglin's side. Things got serious. It seems that the little hands are very gentle, but it is still a bit difficult to pinch the soft flesh on the inside of the arm. "Wrong, wrong, hey! Don't, don't, don't."
"Humph!" TGA. The Game Awards. It has always been known as the Oscar award in the gaming industry. Can win game of the year. It almost represents the pinnacle. Except Overwatch. Mention TGA Game of the Year. Almost everyone’s impression is the same.
It's fun. taste. It can bring people pleasure, touch, and even be full of philosophy. The aesthetic experience is even more unparalleled. When it comes to games that have won the TGA Game of the Year Award, almost all of them are big names. "The Witcher 3", "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", "God of War", "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice", "The Last of Us Part 2" Even if it’s a missed year. But the games that have won other awards can also be said to be works of art. Maybe they were just a little unlucky, or they were gods fighting back then. For example, "Red Dead Redemption 2" won many awards in a row, but lost to "God of War" in the game of the year competition.
If an ordinary person is talking about aesthetics. Maybe he doesn't understand. Talk about art, music, architecture, literature, and imagination, and maybe they can't come up with anything.
But if it is a game, it can combine everything and provide many more interactive experience forms than movies. Players can clearly feel the beauty contained in the game. A thrilling adventure, a story with mixed emotions, and a touch that touches the soul. Ninth Art. Deserved. For Luo Shiyao, who had just opened the door to the ninth art, this kind of grand ceremony where many heroes gathered...
The attraction is really quite great. You know, even many gamers watch TGA live broadcasts. Seeing your favorite game win an award reminds me of the feeling and joy I felt when I played the game. Full sense of achievement. nowadays. Lao Li can go to the TGA site to eat melon. You can also take advantage of it yourself. But unfortunately, at that time, I had to return to the dance troupe and have a performance task. Luo Shiyao's mentality collapsed. "Humph" "Don't be upset." Li Jinglin chuckled. It's not scary to tease your girlfriend, but the scary thing is not being able to coax her. Shen Tuan once told Li Jinglin that a woman is a donkey. You can tease her, but you must be able to stroke her, otherwise she will really be a fool. As for how to coax her, it is the same as herding a pig. You You have to clap your hands and coax them into the circle, but you must not rush them.
"Next time! If you are free next time, I will definitely take you there!" "And, that's pretty much it." Luo Shiyao rolled her eyes and walked down the slope. Although he knew that he might not have time by then, he still gave Li Jinglin some face. So, the topic was changed. "Hey, tell me, does "Elden's Ring" have any chance of winning any awards?" "It's hard to say, but it's difficult." Li Jinglin pinched his chin and frowned. After all, nothing can be seen yet in the testing phase. Moreover, next year will definitely be a very difficult year.
Li Jinglin still has relatively good information channels in the game industry. As far as Li Jinglin knows, many major companies have made moves recently. It is difficult to say whether they will produce masterpieces. And those who know it may become competitors
There may be a new "God of War" game, a new "Zelda" game, a new "Bayonetta" game, a new Pokémon series game, a new "Final Fantasy" game.
These games, just like "Elden's Ring", are already very popular and attract the attention of players even if they are not yet released for sale, even in the promotion stage. "So do you have a chance to win some music awards?" Luo Shiyao asked. However, Li Jinglin's reaction was far beyond Luo Shiyao's expectations. "Don't think about it, you can't get it." I heard Li Jinglin's straightforward words. Luo Shiyao was stunned. Immediately he became confused. "Didn't you say that the music production of "Elden's Ring" is your most satisfying and peak work?" "Yes, but that's based on breakthrough." Li Jinglin nodded. His expression was quite indifferent. In fact, Souls games are very different, and the soundtrack for Souls games is also very different. Such attempts and collisions can produce very novel things, and can make breakthroughs to a large extent. In a sense, it is a huge breakthrough in terms of music production ideas, performance, and application. , can be called the pinnacle. However, the selection of awards and the corresponding selection indicators are completely different. "Let me explain it to you this way." Li Jinglin chuckled. started to speak. "In the music production of "Elden Ring", I used a lot of avant-garde music, well, that is, experimental music." “The purpose is to create real dissonance, purely to serve the work itself.” Hear Li Jinglin's explanation. Luo Shiyao was suddenly stunned. "Disharmony? What's the difference between this and dissonance? If I remember correctly, don't you often use some discordant chords to embellish the content?" Harmony, and disharmony. This is something to consider when creating music. Luo Shiyao was a little confused. Because Luo Shiyao, who knows a little bit about music, also knows that musicians will deliberately use discordant chords to highlight the texture. But the disharmony Li Jinglin mentioned seemed to be different from the disharmony he understood.
"There is a difference." Li Jinglin nodded. "Disharmony in the traditional sense means that in a harmonious mode and a harmonious mode transition, a disharmonious note accidentally appears as an embellishment. Although such disharmony is said to be disharmonious, in fact, The music as a whole will still suit people’s listening experience.” "When the music as a whole conforms to people's sense of hearing, a little bit of dissonance, a little bit of abruptness, and then quickly returning to the original harmonious trend is the finishing touch." “But the dissonance I express through experimental music is a complete disharmony as a whole.” Li Jinglin nodded. "Abandoning mode and tonality, almost every detail is contrary to the sense of hearing. This will actually cause players to have an extremely poor experience due to the influence of music when playing." "The hints brought by avant-garde music are uneasiness, irritability, disturbing, extremely intense tension, and even a little fear." "The soundtracks of other games must have similar sections, but they will never be included throughout the whole story. They are often just separate scenes." Speaking of it. Li Jinglin opened the file list. A piece of prepared scene music was turned on. There are many names in music files. Luo Shiyao glanced over. Some know it and some don’t. But it sounds like they are all scene areas within the game. "Nimgofu", "Galed", "Lienia of the Lake", "Yatan Plateau", "Rodel of the Royal City", "Holy Snowfield", "Micaela's Sacred Tree", "Volcano Residence", "Eternal City" 》.
"Yes, you read that right, almost all the foreshadowing music similar to the scene, I am all about the great disharmony of life." Listen to what Li Jinglin said. Luo Shiyao seemed to understand a little bit. But I still don’t quite understand. "Can what you said be an obstacle to winning the prize?" "Not necessarily, but after all, this is a very unique approach. For me, it is a huge breakthrough and new progress. It also takes advantage of the uniqueness of soul games to give avant-garde music a positive opportunity to practice." Li Jinglin pinched his chin. "But even I feel like I'm in the underworld." Speaking of it. Li Jinglin randomly picked out a piece of scene music for Luo Shiyao to listen to. Luo Shiyao listened. It is almost completely in line with what Li Jinglin said about uneasiness, irritability, worry, extremely intense tension, and fear.
Even felt all kinds of creepy. This is completely "dark cuisine" in the music industry. There must be a breakthrough, but it is obviously a bit careless to win the food competition. "From the perspective of the game as a whole, this approach is quite excellent, because it benefits from the differences in the Souls game itself. For different games, the ideas of composing are also different. When musicians are composing music for the game, Fit is far more important than anything else.” "But when it comes to judging game music, these are not plus points, and may even be minus points." Excellent?
It is definitely excellent, even too good. But if you really want to win an award, there will be some problems because it is too special and too hellish. Li Jinglin wants to come. You might get a nomination, but don't even think about winning an award. This thing is a little too anti-human. "The criteria for judging, for the mainstream, are actually the hints to the plot direction of the game in the game music, the description of the literary attributes behind the game, the positive expression of beauty, etc." Li Jinglin spread his hands. "Furthermore, cultural attributes are very important, and experience is even more important. This kind of music that completely creates discomfort for players and enhances the gaming experience is definitely a transcendence, but if you want to win awards with this thing, it is obviously not possible. " Speaking of it. Li Jinglin chuckled. I couldn't help but speak. "When it comes to winning the award, I am very confident in the music album of "Hall of Valor", because the cultural attributes are really important, although in my opinion, the music production of "Elden Ring" is more enjoyable to do. , but from the perspective of music award selection” "The original soundtrack of "Hall of Valor" has a good chance of winning an award." Luo Shiyao immediately understood the problem. The music production of "Elden's Ring" is very unique. Even unique to the point of being a bit weird. I'm afraid the judges will be very embarrassed by then, and in most cases, they can only shelve it. It's not that the ring batch is bragging, but it's the real deal. But NB is NB which is a bit too unique, also because the rings are completely different. If you put it in the ring, that’s the essence, but from a musical perspective, it’s usually put on hold when it comes to judging awards. Compared with music in the traditional sense, avant-garde music is obviously not quite right. And most of the rings are like this, even half of the boss battle music can't compare. To put it simply, you can’t say it’s not good, but you can’t boast too much either. But it can be said that it is very novel and a bold and breakthrough attempt, but if it doesn’t win the prize, forget it.
As the article says, there is no comparison. Of course, Jianxian thinks that the most amazing thing is the combination of imagination and uniqueness. This really is a real success story for avant-garde music. Because it has real practical value. Instead of being like a certain mage who boasts about art but has no practical value.
