Chapter 482 "Faded"(1/2)
Louis had just finished performing a piece of electronic music with a very catchy melody, which brought the atmosphere of the performance to a higher level again.
The size of the audience no longer looked like an ordinary road show, but rather resembled a small live house.
The connection between the songs was very tight. Jiang Yuan chatted with Paul for a few words and then came on again to accompany Arimura Haruka.
The pleasant sound of the piano combined with Arimura Haruka's singing voice once again won a round of applause from the audience.
The performances of several consecutive songs have different styles, and the connection keeps the audience fresh.
After Haruka Arimura's performance, it was Kim Junho's turn to perform.
Looking at the lively crowd around him gave Jin Junhao a great sense of security, and he felt that the possibility of surviving the next round was greatly increased.
This time, Jin Junhao's performance repertoire was prepared in advance after knowing the road show city in advance.
I specially asked the company's producer to complete the production of the new song before departure, which is also in the electronic style of EDM.
Especially after Louis' performance greatly aroused the emotion of the scene, it greatly increased Kim Junho's confidence.
After setting up the microphone stand, Jin Junhao began to perform.
It starts with a melodic rap, and then leads to a toxic chorus, accompanied by a sensory-stimulating synthesizer accompaniment.
Even though the song was sung in Korean, many audience members jumped up during the chorus.
After finishing the singing, Jin Junhao was very satisfied with his performance.
After Jin Junhao's performance, Louis and others all turned their attention to Jiang Yuan.
Although we have often rehearsed together in the past few days, we still know nothing about Jiang Yuan's song selection.
However, after listening to the demo of the collaboration song given by Jiang Yuan, Louis and Paul both believed that the song Jiang Yuan performed should not be inferior to these two songs.
At this time, the keyboard synthesizer that Jiang Yuan had been using just now was moved and set up in front of him.
After adjusting the position of the microphone, Jiang Yuan announced, "Next, a new song, "Faded" for everyone!"
Yes, this is the song Jiang Yuan is preparing to perform on the streets of Amsterdam to restore his reputation as the prince of electronic music.
How popular is this song? This song brought Alan Walker to the top of his career. The song became popular all over the world and he was called the leader by fans. He even entered the ranks of the top 100 DJs in the world.
Such an achievement can be described as terrifying.
Seeing Jiang Yuan place his hands on the keys of the keyboard, the whole audience was looking forward to the start of the performance.
The street lights in the square have been turned on, and a crimson afterglow hangs on the horizon, reflecting on Jiang Yuanyue's white fringed coat.
At the juncture of day and night, Jiang Yuan's slender fingers pressed the black and white keys.
The bright sound of the piano echoed through the speakers, announcing the official start of the performance.
The sweet and ethereal piano melody, combined with Jiang Yuan's excellent playing skills, instantly silenced the scene and staged a wave of preludes.
Louis and others sat on the seats on either side of Jiang Yuan, and couldn't help but start playing the beat to the prelude.
While Jiang Yuan was playing, he leaned slightly closer to the microphone and started singing along with the intro.
"You were the shadow to my light.
Did you feel us?Another start.
(You are a shadow in the light of my life, can we feel each other? Or is it a new starting point.)"
Singing soulfully, Jiang Yuan maintained the female key of the original song.
The superposition of buffs and the activation of limited skills made Jiang Yuan's voice ethereal and pure, as if coming from the valley, instantly astonishing the audience.
Even Lewis and others on both sides were no exception.
There was just one thought in everyone's mind. Fortunately, Jiang Yuan was arranged to be the last one to appear.
Jin Junhao also thought of an ancient Chinese idiom at this time, which is called throwing bricks to attract jade.
Even if it's the same style of electronic music, it's easy to tell when singing that ur aim is out of sight.
Wanna see us…….Alight!
(Your figure gradually blurs, lest our target be lost in the field of vision.
I just hope we can...still shine!)"
The audience's exclamation did not interrupt Jiang Yuan's rhythm, and he was already immersed in his performance.
The ethereal singing made the audience enjoy it even more.
Many spectators had already put their hands on their chests at this moment, their faces full of intoxication.
Sun Tao was also amazed by this scene.
After listening to the demo, and then listening to Jiang Yuan's scene where all the buffs were fully activated, Sun Tao came to the conclusion that in the demo, Jiang Yuan really just sang casually.
Now with this ethereal live sound, Sun Tao instantly felt that it sounded several notches better than the demo.
After Jiang Yuan said "Alight!", entering the chorus of the song, the changes in the accompaniment also made Sun Tao open his eyes.
Under the sunset, Jiang Yuan adjusted the knobs on the keyboard, outputting different tones and playing the pre-recorded audio tracks.
The superimposition of dynamic synthetic sounds and drum beats keeps the song ethereal while adding a dynamic feel to electronic music.
"Where are you now?
(Where are you now?)"
Jiang Yuan's singing still maintains the ethereal spirit it had at the beginning.
"Where are you now?"
"Where are you now?"
The same question is repeated three times in a row, but it is a stack of emotions, and it plays the role of a key word in the entire song and stirs up emotions.
“Was it all in my fantasy?
(Is everything just my fantasy?)"
The doubts in the self-questioning and answering, combined with the timbre of the electronic synthesizer, add to the dreamy feeling in the song.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Where are you now?
Were you only imaginary?
(Are you just a fantasy?)"
Jiang Yuan sang while his hands continued to operate on the keyboard.
Sun Tao, who had listened to the demo, already knew the follow-up direction of the song, and couldn't help but look forward to it.
On the accompaniment, the sound effect of a drop has the feeling of bursting the bubble of dreams and touching reality.
"Where are you now?"
The same question was sung again, accompanied by drum beats, more intense and bright synthetic sounds, guitar and other musical instruments.
This change in the song instantly caused the scene to explode.
While the exclamations of "wow" erupted, the audience's bodies began to move to the rhythm unconsciously.
"I knew it!" Paul also stood up and waved his hands vigorously, very excited that he had guessed this high point.
“Atlantis!
Under the sea~Under the sea!
(Atlantis! Submerged in the ocean!)"
Feeling the change in the atmosphere of the scene, Jiang Yuan just raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
But neither the singing nor the movements of the hands were affected, and he was as steady as a helmsman sailing on the sea.
"Where are you now?
Another dream, the monster is running wild inside of me.
(Another dream, wild monsters galloping deep inside my heart.)"
Jiang Yuan's singing remained calm, and in this blurred boundary between day and night, the audience in the square was already jumping to the rhythm of the song.
Even the passers-by were stopped in their tracks without realizing it, thinking that the performer at this moment would be a famous DJ from their country.
"I'm faded,I'm faded
so lost I'm faded…
(I have lost my direction, I am haggard...)"
The repeatedly sung lyrics still maintain an ethereal and dreamy quality.
Throughout the song, Jiang Yuan's singing seems to be integrated with the entire work, maintaining a fixed rhythm as one of many timbres.
But with the accompaniment, it still made the audience jump and twist their heads.
After the chorus ends, there is no interlude and it goes directly to the second verse of the song.
"The shallow waters never met, what I needed.
