Suffering

Qi Yi Shuang Tong

When light and dark begin to interlace, when black and white are intertwined and infested, when positive and negative will merge... You, have you finally woken up? Don't be ambiguity, understand Qiyi and refuse to be blind, and gain insight into Meng Meiqi's second solo solo music work Double Feature experimental concept mini-album - "Qiyi Double Eyes" "Two Films Consecutive Films" VS [Unity of Opposites] Explore the unknown To unleash the limit of imagination, the world that pupils see must be exactly the same scenery? The touch of inner feelings interprets the answer that cannot be standardized! We experience Meng Meiqi's music from a different perspective, and we also re-examine and discover our own life. "Meng Meiqi on the stage" is a powerhouse where people's attention is focused, and "Meng Meiqi in the record", after experiencing the precipitation step by step, through the second solo music work "Qiyi Double Eyes" , finally ushered in the precipitation and growth of the accumulation and growth - from independent songwriting creation, to cooperation with other musicians, from participating in visual concepts, to leading production concepts... Meng Meiqi in this record is extremely deeply integrated into her personal Among the bones and blood in the works, we should find that Meng Meiqi is a singer and singer-songwriter who is constantly changing and evolving. Maybe it is not necessary to call her "Musician Meng Meiqi", but she is indeed proclaiming, shaping, Showing, more and more intense and distinct, "Meng Meiqi's music". As a mini-album of the experimental concept of Double Feature that breaks the stereotype, "Double Eyes" contains Meng Meiqi's musical ambition and action-Double Feature originally means watching two movies with one movie ticket, which is extended to double meaning , and "Qiyi Double Eyes" uses two dark-toned works "Judgment" and "Wake Up", two bright-toned works "Remodeling" and "Silent Love Letter", showing a transition process from extreme darkness to extremely pure white, conveying Rich in information, during listening, you can feel the interlacing of light and dark, the intrusion of black and white, the connection between positive and negative... All kinds of emotions flow, and Meiqi also gives a blank space for everyone to feel and think. It seems that the different styles are in her interpretation. In the end, it is completely integrated, bringing the audience an amazing feeling of "two films in a row" VS [unity of opposites]. The album is produced by Chen Lingtao. After the two met and discussed in depth, they felt that the way of cooperation should be changed. It was not simply songwriting and production. Music should have been created by a group of people! Therefore, Meiqi decided to use the "Camping" method, and the producers, many musicians, and arrangers would spend every day in the rehearsal room and recording studio during the preparation of the works. In the process of expressing the theme, a lot of inspiration collided. This is a new way of creation that Meiqi has never experienced before. She tries to let go, accept, break, and reshape... The happiness created by those uneasy and confused things gradually fades away. Go, Meiqi no longer deliberately covers the lyrics and songs by himself or finds others to invite songs, but in the process of sharing with everyone, he naturally creates works one by one, and then adjusts and revises constantly according to his own ideas. Under such a fully immersed production logic, Meiqi and everyone completed the prototype of dozens of works together, and then selected four songs with a strong sense of opposition but subtle echoes for in-depth polishing. Meiqi participated in the composition of the four songs. And three lyrics, the arrangement was completed by Chen Lingtao invited many teachers, and the process continued to improve, each song produced several different versions, and even when it was almost completed, it was all overturned and redone because of a new idea. In the process of excellence , "Ambiguous Eyes" was officially born - yes, just as the traditional "ambiguity" refers to two or more different meanings, it is uncertain to express a certain clearest meaning, and people often think that "ambiguity" is bad, as if There is some kind of scary uncertainty, just like everyone is getting used to living step by step and orderly, and is afraid of so-called unconventional accidents, but in the music world created by Meng Meiqi, the line of sight should not be seen by a single pupil. Limitation: We don't want to "ambiguity", but understand "ambiguity", and conduct more in-depth and diverse thinking in "Ambiguous Eyes". Facing those desires for natural growth, instead of choosing to be timid and escaping, it is better to let everything calm down Exposure, nothing to hide! In addition to the stereotype you thought was fixed, another new possibility is taking place in Meng Meiqi's music. "This album belongs to a two-sided output. I want to use four songs as an experiment, each with a different style and dimension, and finally form a pupil-like loop, from which I can find what I want to express, and can also communicate with Something that touches everyone. In the past, I prefer to create my own Together this time, our imagination will expand, and it is no longer limited to individuals, including the visual design of the album, which may not conform to the normal and safe beauty that everyone thinks, but there are many kinds of beauty, I don’t want to be limited to a certain beauty A sort of. This album is more about conceptualizing things. Songs and people, hearing and vision, are all synchronized, and the work will be truly established and complete. I know it may be risky to make music like this, but I believe more that you will understand, resonate. "——Meng Meiqi 1. "Sentence" Lyricist: Ding Yanxue Composer: Meng Meiqi and Chen Lingtao ... Everyone has their own "judgment" in their hearts, or they go with the crowd, or stand on the sidelines, or follow others' opinions, or they are independent. Countless tangible and intangible rules are densely covered in our lives. Since there is no way to escape, it is better to face the "judgment" calmly. The highly conceptualized music only produced in the industrial age, which integrates multiple elements of Techno, Deep house, Hip-hop, and film soundtrack. The sound mix adopts the latest vocal design technology. It is the core of the entire experimental concept mini-album. Reflecting the idea, Meng Meiqi made a deafening statement of the sentence with singing, calmly analyzed and dialectically displayed the desires of people's inner self-confidence, and left room for self-thinking in the immersive atmosphere, encouraging people to learn to accept and dare to 2. "Wake Up" Lyricist: Meng Meiqi Chen Lingtao Composer: Meng Meiqi Chen Lingtao 【Is that right? So, you wanna let me go? Hiding behind you, Try to push me away Push me away] The whole song is composed by many domestic first-line musicians, adding the texture of the band, the mixing adopts the concept of contemporary industrialization, and mixes the trend with traditional instruments Technology, combined with a new style, Meng Meiqi's interpretation conveys the eternal theme of love and dislike in the retro tone texture, singing full of emotional layers, this is a "awakening love song", telling a heart from deep to sober The process is about a period of sawing, entanglement, tearing, and finally fragmented feelings. After the dark night of self-paralysis, we finally have to wake up from the pain, and we must wake up. Facing the dawn that gradually lights up in the sky, we must get rid of the control of wrong feelings and stop punishing ourselves. 3. "Remodeling" Lyricist: Meng Meiqi, Chen Lingtao, Ding Yanxue Composer: Meng Meiqi, Chen Lingtao It is a conventional dance music type of the technique. "Reshaping" is a catchy and completely relaxing Soft Dance Music. It is a song for the liberation of the soul of modern people. Massage-like experience is our private carnival time! Abandoning those troubles that are cocooning yourself, exploring the desire for a pure self, this is not a willful escape, not lying flat at will, but knowing how to enjoy a relaxed and moderate life. Bathed in natural light and shadow, people began to reshape their bodies and minds, simplifying complexity, and now, everything is too late. 4. "Silent Love Letter" Lyricist: Meng Meiqi and Yan Yutian Composer: Meng Meiqi and Chen Lingtao [You watch me wake up, talk without language, tacit understanding is like a movie, and time goes slowly] This is Meiqi for herself, Give us, a pure love letter back to the original, to record the moment that belongs to me and you, cherish each other, and have the same heart. The whole song has high requirements for the conciseness of language and melody. Meiqi's interpretation expresses the weakness and tenacity in her personality with a naked and unmodified perspective. The arrangement uses violin, piano and guitar. , bass, drums and other full-scale orchestration, adding large-scale string arrangements, but the mixing adopts the way of live feeling in the 1980s, and the sense of hearing will make people feel that Meiqi is singing this song softly in our ears. Needless to say, when I met you, everything in the world seemed to be just the background, At this moment, it's just me and you. It doesn't matter if you don't say a word, a movement, a look, and a feeling all happen at this moment. It is love, and it is the warmth of all the good things in the world.
