摘要: | 筆者在華語流行音樂的薰陶中成長,而商業歌曲存在著「好聽就能賣」、「重視娛樂」的現象。筆者認為歌曲除了容易傳唱之外,詞應該要探討有深度的議題,而非小情小愛;曲應該要有風格與設計,而非套用和弦公式;編曲更應該為歌曲量身訂做,幫助傳達歌曲的精神,而非盲目追逐流行。筆者憑藉著個人興趣,以及想為華語樂壇作出貢獻的心態,開始進行歌曲創作,並且演唱。
本文討論範圍即音樂會主題「文明社會」的歌曲。首先講解創作理念,並以詞、曲,以及演唱等層面進行分析。由於使用編曲軟體進行創作已是普遍的趨勢,筆者將會記錄所使用的軟體音源與專案設定於本文中。
Growing up with C-pop music, I found some problems with commercial songs, such as songs hit just because they sound good, and songs are only for amusement. In my opinion, other than that everyone could sing the songs easily, there should be profound topics in the lyrics, not just love stories. The music should be composed skillfully and with the style of the composer, not by applying the regular chord formulas. The arrangement should be tailor-made for the songs, supporting the core value of the songs, not made by popular technique blindly. On the strength of my interest and the mind to contribute to C-pop music, I started writing songs and singing them in performances.
This thesis is the discussion about the songs in my concert, which is titled “Civilization.” First it comes to the concept of each song, and later the analysis of the lyrics, music, and vocal performance. Owing to the fact that it has been usual to compose music with digital audio workstations (DAWs), I recorded the software instruments and settings used in each song as well. |
