New Age Music

In the early 1980s, a Canadian pianist named Micha Jones wrote a collection of music. The music collected there has very beautiful, picture-like titles, such as "After the Rainbow", "Beyond Dreams", "Sunshine Valley", "Space Butterfly", etc. He wrote a short biography of himself in the preface, saying that he once wanted to be a music painter. Later, slowly, he found his own musical language. At this time, he no longer pursues the use of music to depict images, but expresses feelings, the feeling of falling snowflakes lightly touching the ground in the quiet night; the feeling of dry breath of the breeze blowing through the sedge; the feeling of the creases of lightning in the distant sky. The feeling; the feeling of the lake water lapping against the shore in the evening...

Michael Jones's music is very quiet, and most of them use the same sound pattern repeatedly; the harmonies are simple, and there are few Complex dissonance sounds seem to be more common in rhythmic progressions and modal styles; the melody is simple and easy to understand; the tone is not very individual, and sometimes there is no melody. Listen, listen, you will forget that this is Micha Jones's music, but the whisper of the leaves.

The pianist met the manager of a music publishing company in 1983. The publisher had always wanted to introduce a fresh taste of music suitable for people to listen to in their leisure time. The two hit it off immediately, and soon Micha's works gradually spread in the United States. At first, this kind of music was not that eye-catching, and the owners of various record stores didn’t know which column to put it in. It was like light music, without any profound truth, but it had a bit of the style and style of classical music. ; It is popular, but it also shows a detached sentiment; it is easy to become popular, but it is not as mediocre or turbulent as ordinary pop music. Some record stores had no choice but to list it under the so-called latest arrivals section. Gradually, it became a trend, and some publications in Hong Kong and Taiwan also translated it as "New Age" or "New Age" music.

Features of New Age:

1. Rhythm:

New Age rhythm often exists between the natural rhythm of music and the strength of notes. In fact, the reason why most New Age abandons traditional rhythms is because with drums, bass and percussion instruments, the form of music will be restricted, while New Age is natural and free, with wind-like streamlines. attitude.

2． Melody:

The melody of New Age is completely different from pop music, and its improvisational flavor is very strong. Not only is it difficult for the listener to remember the melody, but he also has no idea when and where the melody will end. This is one of the reasons why the New Age music structure gives everyone a lot of room for imagination.

3． Harmony:

Most of the harmonies used in New Age are quite harmonious, and dissonance is rarely used in New Age. This is why New Age sounds very peaceful.

4． Tone:

The timbre of New Age is transparent, mysterious, and full of hazy atmosphere. To be honest, one of the biggest enjoyments when listening to New Age is the change of timbre.

In addition to the four major elements of music, the greatest charm of New Age is that it gives the listener a huge imagination space. You can freely roam in the infinite imagination space without being restricted by form.
