independent filmmakers

He has his own unique understanding of himself, the world, the surroundings and life, and on this basis, he forms his creative ideas, which can be accurately expressed in the form of music.

In the field of music, independence is an attitude, a musician's attitude towards music creation and, by extension, a listener's attitude towards music selection. We are more or less gradually forming our own musical orientation and forming an independent attitude without external interference when listening to songs, so we need to check our attitude from time to time and keep a clear head.

Indie's name is taken from the word "independent", which is used to refer to bands that adhere to the DIY spirit in music and records released by small brands with low budgets. Although larger independent brands will also have sales agreements with mainstream brands, these independent brands still have absolute autonomy in the decision-making of music selection, so they have more freedom to discover acoustics, music sense or other emotional music themes that are not known to mainstream audiences. However, on the other hand, their music may not bring benefits proportional to their music taste (even independent brands actually want to stick to business, rather than giving up business completely for music).

pop music

The so-called pop music refers to instrumental music and songs with short structure, popular content, lively form and sincere feelings, which are loved by the broad masses, widely sung or appreciated, and are popular for a while or even passed down to future generations. These music and songs are rooted in the fertile soil of public life. Therefore, it is also called "pop music". Pop music originated from American jazz. At the beginning of the 20th century, a kind of jazz composed of multi-ethnic cultures appeared in America. This new music, with its unique way of playing (singing), refreshed the audience's eyes and ears, caused a sensation in the United States and soon spread all over Western Europe. Today, pop music contains a wide range of contents. In instrumental music, including all kinds of light music, jazz, swing dance, disco dance, tango, waltz, different styles of dance music and all kinds of opera music. Instrumental works in pop music have the characteristics of lively rhythm, relaxed and lively or lyrical beauty, diverse playing methods, changeable acoustics, rich colors, simple texture level and small band size, and electro-acoustic instruments are mostly used in modern works. The characteristics of vocal music works are: rich flavor of life, lyricism, humor, wide range, popular techniques, smooth tunes and easy singing; Lyrics are often written in the language of life, which is easy to understand and easily accepted and sung by the audience. Singers are mostly pop stars, each with its own way and different vocal methods. They are not bound by the vocal school. When singing, their feelings are more important than singing skills, and they are dynamic, free, natural and friendly, which easily resonates with the audience. The strong accompaniment of the small band is integrated with singing. Because pop music has the above characteristics, it can be associated with the public, and it is easy to accept regardless of the level of education. Pop music is also pop music. As a popular cultural phenomenon focusing on entertainment, the development of pop songs is closely related to the context of social development and has become a part of daily life. Especially after the 1990s, with the opening of national policies, the content forms of pop songs have become more diversified and more deeply rooted in people's hearts. Pop music in the 1990s has changed a lot, which is close to our growing background. However, pop songs are not only art, but also entertainment and spiritual sustenance. They are also realistic records reflecting people's lives, and even indicators of popular thoughts and ideologies. The songs we are listening to now, such as singers such as Jay Chou, Jolin Tsai and May, all belong to pop music. The difference between pop music and other mass media is that pop music has three characteristics: 1. Pop music is a repetitive form: the theme of pop music is repetitive, and it has the ability to penetrate the listener's consciousness. 2. Pop music is largely a non-narrative form: it emphasizes the stimulation of the physical, physiological and sensory abilities of the recipients. 3. Pop music is a form of empiricism: music belongs to art rather than science, and it is an experiential experience.

Yinglun music

There are many musicians in Britain who are active in all kinds of music. In fact, it is the mainstream music, such as pop music and rock music, that makes the Voice of England famous all over the world. Since the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, as long as the music industry exists, pop music and rock music have supporters who are "old and dead". Today's music industry is characterized by the fusion of various styles, which is often difficult to accurately define a band. Although there are many dazzling classification methods, in fact, most pop music and some other kinds of music from Britain can be divided into: [pop music/music charts], [rock music/indie music] and [dance music]

punk music

Punk is an anti-rock music force that rose in1970s, and punk is translated as "punk" in Chinese mainland. Translated as "punk" in Taiwan Province province, it is called "crash" in Hongkong. In the west, punk is interpreted as (slang) hooligan, trash, prostitute, child molester, inferior, etc. Although its meaning has changed to some extent now. It has been 25 years since Leg McNeil first founded punk magazine in 1975, and then sex pistols made this music a trend. To understand the influence of punk on the world and indoor space, we must first understand the significance and development of punk.

folk song

Popular folk songs full of national colors are called folk songs or ballads. Folk songs have a long history, so most of their authors are unknown. Folk songs are rich in content, including religion, love, war, labor, drinking, dancing, festivals and so on. Folk songs not only express a nation's feelings and habits, but also have their own unique scales and emotional styles. For example, the prosperity of French folk songs, the enthusiasm of Italian folk songs, the simplicity of English folk songs, the indignation of Japanese folk songs, the wildness of Spanish folk songs and the tears of China folk songs all show strong national temperament and color.

heavy metal music

Heavy metal is also a type of rock music. "Heavy metal" must have a roaring or high-pitched voice, a lot of distorted timbre of electric guitar, and then fill the whole auditory background space with dense and fast drums and deep and powerful bass, thus forming improved rock music with high explosive power, high speed, heavy weight and strong destructiveness. Usually refers to the traditional mainstream heavy metal or heavy metal music that cannot be classified into other heavy metal genres.

Rock music

Post-rock is undoubtedly the dominant music type in the experimental rock movement deeply influenced by electro-acoustic instrumental rock in the 1990s. There are many experimental schools of post-rock music-croft rock, environmental music, progressive rock, space rock, mathematical rock, tape music, minimalist classics, British IDM, jazz (both avant-garde and cool) and dubbing reggae. In short, most of the music is based on rock music, but it is not rock music in essence.

Post-rock music gives listeners a musical feeling completely opposite to the inspiring feelings of traditional rock music. Its music is full of hypnosis and low monotonous voice (especially in some guitar-dominated bands), and even relatively bright music makes people feel calm and awake. This is because post-rock is a response to rock, especially when mainstream music circles assimilate alternative music. Many post-rock bands were founded under the same consciousness, that is, rock has lost its true rebellious consciousness and it is difficult to extricate itself from the old model and empty posture. So post-rock rejects everything related to traditional rock music.

Post-rock music pays more attention to pure sound and timbre than melody and song structure, and most of its works tend to be instrumental, even if there are voices in the works, they are only accessories of the overall musical effect.

jazz

Jazz, a form of music that originated in Africa. In less than a century, this kind of music with obvious American characteristics, known as jazz, has developed from unknown folk music to the most important art category produced in the United States. Today, it can be heard and played in almost every corner of the world. Jazz presents a prosperous scene in various forms, from Genbruce and ragtime, from New Orleans jazz to Dixieland jazz, swing music, mainstream jazz, Bibop, modern jazz to free jazz and electronic jazz. What is surprising is not that jazz appears in so many forms, but that each of its forms is very important and has always maintained its own characteristics and unique charm. If you want to appreciate all kinds of jazz and experience all kinds of fun, you must have an open attitude, tolerance and listening.

light music

Light music refers to music with a relaxed and lively style, which can give people a pleasant and lyrical feeling, beautiful and easy to understand. The so-called "light" refers to the comparison with solemn and serious music. Dance music, marches and serenades are lighter than sonatas and symphonies; Light songs, lyric songs and humorous songs are lighter than chorus and oratorio; Opera is lighter than drama. Figuratively speaking, it is a light weapon in music, which is roughly the same as essays, jokes and lyric poems in literature. Light music plays an important role in people's music life at present. Beautiful and healthy light music can not only be used for entertainment, but also cultivate sentiment and improve the music level of the audience.

Light music works have beautiful melody, clear and smooth rhythm and rich and colorful timbre, which are deeply loved by people. To sum up, light music is characterized by short structure, pleasant melody and eclectic form. The band is well organized, with novel instruments and distinct rhythm. It can express people's thoughts and feelings more delicately.

In the folk, light music is very popular and has a wide range of social significance and spiritual functions. There are many kinds of light music, including ordinary life songs, lyric songs, humorous songs and satirical songs, as well as some operettas, waltzes, small orchestral overtures and serenades, as well as some orchestral sketches, movie songs, dance music and beautiful piano music.

country music

This name appeared in the United States in the 1920s and has a wide origin. At that time, the content of songs, in addition to expressing work and life, hated lonely and wandering life, yearned for a warm and peaceful home, and sang sweet love and the pain of lovelorn.

1925, a radio station was established in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. They started a column program called "Ancient Opera-Villagers' Voice". An 8 1 year-old folk singer named Jamie Thompson was invited to sing, and the program was warmly welcomed by the audience. Since then, people have collectively referred to this kind of music as "country music". Country music has become one of the favorite music forms of American working people. In America, "blue collar" refers to the lower class, so this kind of music is also called "blue collar music".

Rock/roll

Because there are too many words, please refer to /view/7842.htm for the introduction of its classified music.

Japanese and Korean music

Japanese pop: It is estimated that as long as you want Japanese pop music, traditional Japanese music and modern music, you will not introduce them.

J-Pop is the abbreviation of Japanese pop music, which refers to Japanese pop music influenced by the West. J-Wave (a FM radio station) coined the name J-Pop and used it to represent "new music". Then it is widely used to represent different types of music in Japan, including pop music, rock, dance music, hip-hop and soul music.

Generally, Japanese shops divide music into four categories: J-Pop, singing bar (a traditional folk song), classical music and English/international music. Some music combines singing with J-Pop, representing singers An and Nakajima.

[Korean Music] It's the same as Japanese pop.

There is no dispute between Korean pop music and serious music. Pop music developed under the influence of the United States and Japan, as well as folk songs with strong local flavor, are collectively called pop music. Most Korean pop music is lively and catchy, and is deeply loved by the people. At present, the focus of Korean pop music is mainly on middle school students around the age of ten. Not only are the singers very young, but most of them are high school students, and the audience is mainly boys and girls who have not graduated from middle school. Most Korean pop singers take the hip-hop route mainly based on rap. Hip-Hop is accepted by young fans because of its free and unrestrained characteristics, and has increasingly become the mainstream of Korean music. Most Korean singers choose the form of singing and dancing, but they also pursue their own unique style.

classical music

Classical music, translated from Chinese into "classical music". Some people think that "classical" gives people an antique and stuffy taste, so it was renamed "classical music". According to the definition of classicism in the Oxford English Dictionary, some people call it "serious music" in a traditional and serious style. As a result, "classical music" was put on a "serious" hat, which made people even more afraid to approach. But the person who defined this must not have looked it up in the dictionary, because the second meaning of "earnest" is defined as follows: (referring to books, music, etc. ) Inspire thinking, not just for fun. Therefore, we know that the original classical music is different from pop music in that it is profound, thought-provoking and refined. Let's take a look at Longman dictionary's explanation of classical music: music that people consider serious and popular for a long time. It can be seen that "classical music" is a kind of music that has stood the test of time, been told for a long time and is loved by everyone. In this case, it is more appropriate to translate it into "classic music". It's just that everyone is used to it, and it's always awkward to change. Let's call it "classical music". I only blame the first translator at that time. I didn't expect "classicality" to bring so many misunderstandings. Fortunately, I didn't intend to translate it into "serious music", otherwise it would really make people laugh.

electronic music

Broadly speaking, as long as it is music created by electronic devices, it can belong to it. Any electronic sound produced by electronic synthesizers, effectors, computer music software, drum machines and other "musical instruments" can be reasonably called electronic music. The scope of generalized electronic sound is quite extensive, which can be found in movie soundtracks, advertising soundtracks and even some pop songs and rock music, but it is not easy for ordinary people to find it. In a very narrow sense, electronic music refers to various kinds of music such as Techno and Trance. But in fact, as long as the music created by electronic equipment includes music types such as house, drum and bass, even jazz and folk songs that only use electronic amplifiers can be electronic.

original music

The works created, sung and performed by singers or musicians themselves are called original music, including songs and various styles of music. Because music works are originally secondary creations, the works created by composers must be presented to the audience through singers or performers. Among them, they completed the second creation according to the composer's creative intention and their own understanding of the work. The works presented to the audience have already included the contents of the second creation by composers, singers and performers. The works created, sung and performed by singers or musicians themselves are all one's creative intentions.

classical music

1 Classical music in a broad sense refers to western classical music. Music created under the background of European mainstream culture since the Middle Ages is different from pop music and folk music mainly because of its complex and diverse creative techniques and heavy connotation.

Classical music in a narrow sense refers to classical music, which is the mainstream music in Europe during the period of 1750- 1820, also known as Vienna classical music school. The three most famous composers of this genre are Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven.

industrial

Industrial music is often full of dissatisfaction with human nature and society, but it does not emphasize the expression they use. Industrial artists don't yell aimlessly like angry gangsters, and they don't like depressed post-gangsters. They use the industrial noise in their hands to counter the social phenomenon that produces this noise. Latecomers often forget what the pioneers have to resist, but they always insist on this "heavy cold routine" to realize their ambitions.

Heavy percussion, that is, mechanical rhythm and "industrial" percussion, is the most basic element of industrial music. A song can be fast-paced, calm and gloomy, but heavy percussion represented by drums is always more depressing than melody. That's why industrial music is not like pop songs or rhythm and blues.

Celtic music

Celtic music is music from the Celts. Celts first lived in some tribal groups in central and western Europe around 1000 BC and came to England after a long migration. Today, their descendants are scattered in Ireland, Wales, northern Scotland and western mountains. Celts include Irish, Highlanders, Welsh and Cornish. Most of them are bilingual-English and their mother tongue (Gaelic or Celtic). Besides learning words or cultural relics, the most direct way is to listen to their music. Typical Celtic flavor, ancient and mature, you can hear violin, bagpipes, small harp or accordion with two bellows. In the British Isles, in the American continent, as long as there are descendants of Celtic immigrants on the land, you can find such music.

symphony

Symphonic music is not a specific genre name, but a general term for instrumental music genre. The common characteristics of this school are:

1, played by a large orchestra;

2. Music has profound connotation and is dramatic, epic, tragic and heroic, or the music style is solemn, narrative, descriptive, lyrical and customary.

3. It has a rigorous structure and rich means of expression.

Traditionally, symphonic music mainly refers to five genres: symphony, concerto, band suite, overture and symphonic poem. However, its category often extends to some orchestral music with its own characteristics, such as fantasia, capriccio, rhapsody, narrative, March, variation, dance music played by symphony orchestra and so on. In addition, symphonic music also includes headline orchestral music.

Neoclassical music

After the first world war, western music

On the one hand, there are many experimental schools and ideological trends (such as "futurism" in Italy and differential music by Czech composer A. Bach). On the other hand, some important composers have experienced a relatively stable style development process. New aesthetic concepts and musical thinking emerge one after another. From the early 1920s to 1950s, neoclassicism was the most influential music school. Neoclassicism denies the title and subjectivity of romantic music, and also denies the exaggerated fantasy and performance of romanticism and expressionism in the later period. Neo-classicism advocates that music creation does not need to reflect chaotic society and politics, and should adopt a position of "neutrality" or "art first"; Creation should return to "classicism" and "the era farther away from Bach", where there is pure musical beauty, not poetic. Composers should get rid of subjectivity and reproduce the classical balanced form with calm and objective modern methods.

New metal music

In fact, new metal is a very general term. According to my personal understanding, new metals can be divided into broad sense and narrow sense. The generalized new metal covers almost all new heavy metal music forms that appeared in 1990s, including Metalcore, Rap-Metal, Industrial-Metal and so on. The new metal in a narrow sense only refers to rap metal. Because of this ambiguity in broad and narrow sense, many bands unrelated to rap are mistaken for rap metal by some friends who don't know the new metal. Nu-Metal, as interpreted by authoritative media, originally meant rage metal. Compared with traditional heavy metals, there are more angry and violent elements in the music instilled by members of the orchestra, and members express their ideas in different media, with the help of core, Rap, Industrial and so on. As a result, this kind of music is too rich in musical elements and styles, so until now, Xinjin has not become an independent musical style. As for the view that most friends think that the new metal is defined as rap metal, it is a misunderstanding. This may be because many relatively famous new metal bands have infiltrated their music into rap.

New era music

There is a rhythm between the natural rhythm of music and the strength of notes, and the whole feeling is natural and free, with a streamlined posture like the wind; Its melody has the flavor of improvisation, which gives everyone a lot of imagination in music structure; Most of the harmony used is harmonious, giving people a sense of peace; Its timbre is transparent, mysterious and full of hazy breath.

New era music includes modern relaxed music to meditation soul exploration music. It uses electronic instruments, including western and non-western instruments, and occasionally sings to create a soothing melody to adapt to the fast pace of modern life.

Post punk music

Post-punk: Since 1977 punk revolution, inspired by punk's independent spirit and straightforward expression, many bands have appeared. They did not have the style of repetitive pistols, but continued the path of roxy music, david bowie and t.rex except punk rock, entered a more experimental field and formed a post-punk style. Some bands unite because of their anti-cultural spirit and resistance to established rock customs. Many such organizations, such as joy division and The Cure, use synthesizers and guitars to create a dark and gloomy musical expression. Other bands tried to make light music, but the melody and lyrics were not harmonious, subverting the traditional rock/punk song structure. In 1980s, post-punk finally evolved into a selective rock/punk music.

dance music

Instrumental or acoustic music created according to dance rhythm. Because of different times, different national characteristics, different functions and different uses, there are many kinds. Generally speaking, dance music has a unique rhythm. Many dance music (especially folk dance music) also needs some special instruments or singing methods to play and sing. In dance music, a typical rhythm pattern runs through. This typical rhythm pattern is the most important symbol to distinguish various dance music.
