Unplugged means "Unplugged", which literally means "unplugging the power plug". Now it mostly refers to a form of music that abandons the effect of an all-electronic band. It achieves a more original and simple "unplugged" effect by using acoustic instruments as much as possible to obtain pure tone.

Unplugged is the product of the saturation period of the development of electroacoustic instruments. It is a resistance to the current "multi-track recording and electronic sound synthesis technology". Compared with the distorted sound that has been modified and processed by electronic equipment, "unplugged" musicians try their best to use authentic parts and native instruments such as "piano, acoustic guitar, wooden bass or human applause" to keep the music pure. sex.

However, "unplugged" is not a cappella. An "unplugged" concert also requires lights, a band, or harmony. "Unplugged" does not completely exclude electroacoustic equipment, but the main purpose of electroacoustic equipment is for sound amplification, such as microphones.

"Unplugged" is not just a problem with guitars and other electroacoustic equipment, but also with people's mouths. For example, the chorus or tremolo effects used for vocals in many tapes are generally not acceptable in an "unplugged" performance.

For a relatively pure "unplugged" performance, even the arrangement and vocal arrangements will be as simple and simple as possible, which will be different from the versions recorded on tapes and CDs.

I would like to mention the word "acoustic" here by the way. In "unplugged" concerts, most of the instruments used by the band are acoustic instruments, such as acoustic guitar; acoustic bass. Acoustic is opposite to electronic (electronic), which means "non-electronic instruments

Not The plug-in scene is relatively close to the audience and is very quiet. Many musicians perform while sitting and are accompanied by very quiet acoustic guitars. The chorus of the music is often a dubbing wall in the distorted guitar. There are no finer notes or colorful chorus changes. Generally speaking, the audience will ignore the things in the music. When the power is not plugged in, all the factors will be expressed in a granular manner and communicate with the audience. They are very close, the communication is very cordial, and the sound is relatively relaxed, so it is often very easy to enter the artistic conception of the music.

Unplugged may be such a feeling for the band. The technical requirements and on-site control ability of the members are extremely high. Without the cover of heavy sound, it is a challenge for any musician to present many details to the audience at close range.
