Chapter 35: Donkey's lips to horse's mouth

Crystal Flame finally accepted my suggestion and joined our guild. Crystal Princess, as her good sister, naturally joined us. However, this band was not so easy to form.

Currently, there are only four band members here. Bingbing uses flutes, Bingling Red Harp, and Crystal Princess uses a pipe organ. As for the crystal flame thing, it is said that it should have the function of a hand drum, and it is also a double-source weapon for close combat and medium-range long attacks.

The music combination of four people is no longer small in reality, but it is not possible here. There is an electronic soundtrack, but we don’t have one here. Another trouble is that the instruments are incompatible. Although Bingbing’s flute and Bingling’s harp belong to two instrument systems, they are still elegant instruments and can barely play ensembles, but the flute and the organ are completely inconsistent. What’s worse is the transformed hand drum of Crystal Flame. The thing sounds like a special instrument for Latin dance, with a frightening rhythm, and the other three instruments cannot match at all. According to Crystal Flame herself, her previous battles with the princess actually did not match the rhythm, and although they were both instruments, they were completely unable to synchronize.

I had no choice but to return to Aisinger and then invited all the Zhiduoxing from the guild to help. In order to make everyone familiar with their specificity, I asked the four of them to play their own special music separately.

Bingbing performed first. The melodious flute sound is elegant and beautiful, with a natural cultural atmosphere. If you close your eyes, you can feel as if you are in a bamboo forest. If you taste it carefully, you can feel a proud temperament mixed with the flute sound, and there is also a cool feeling.

The second is Bingling's harp performance. The sound of the harp is somewhat similar to that of the guzheng, but the tone is much crisper, closer to the crystal feeling.

The third place is the princess' organ. The sound of this thing is so majestic. No matter what song it plays, even children's songs, it can create a feeling of an angel coming.

The final performance of the crystal flame was something that I didn't know whether it should be called dance or martial arts. It looked like dance. The posture was beautiful and the movements were quite gorgeous. The problem was that the pair of instruments she was holding had a sharp edge, and they were quite sharp. When she swung so randomly, everyone nearby would definitely be hit. I finally understood what the small balls on her weapon were doing. The golden sphere outside the thing was indeed metal, but not gold, but something called pure gold. This thing is special

Hard. But it has no toughness, but its function is not attack, and it is nothing bad to have poor toughness. These hollowed-out fine mirror balls are sealed with a red crystal ball. When the pair of sound blades dance, the crystal balls will roll in the fine gold balls and make a very high-frequency crisp sound. The sound of these small balls can be controlled to form a kind of music through dancing. However, since the dance itself seems to be an aggressive skill, the sound of the small ball also changes rapidly with the rhythm of the dance.

After listening to these performances, Rose frowned and waited for a long time before she spoke: "What should I say? It's perfect to listen to each other separately. But if you want to play the ensemble... I can only say there is no way."

Hongyue also said: "I don't understand music as much as Rose, but I can still listen to it. The rhythm and style of these instruments are obviously much worse. If they are hard, they may interfere with each other, especially the bell dance of crystal flames. The rhythm is too fast. It is not a question of whether it sounds good or not. It is impossible to play at all. The flute and harp can barely speed up to cooperate with you, but the organ can't keep up with the rhythm of your bells at all."

Xiaoyao, who was sitting with Su Mei, suddenly said: "I have studied music specifically, and the problem here is obvious - the instrument is not right. There is only one way to solve the local dialect."

“What method?”

"Demolition." Xiao Yao said affirmatively: "The four people can be divided into four styles, but they are not absolutely unable to cooperate. But most of the time they cannot cooperate. In fact, the instruments also have their own characteristics. Sometimes instruments that are completely unmatched can also cooperate with each other in a song. I have heard a music on the Internet that claims to use 139 instruments ensembles, and the other party uses a very wonderful method - playing the time difference. During the entire process of the song, all kinds of instruments participated in the performance, but no one in a second was a ensemble of 139 instruments. The other party used time difference to stagger the time of various instruments, and the instruments would never sound at the same time. Although they all pronounced in a song, because they did not pronounce at the same time, the music was perfect."

"Do you mean to let them play the time difference?" I asked.

Xiao Yao said: "The time difference is definitely necessary, but the time difference between four instruments is definitely impossible. Just like riding a unicycle. In fact, the taller the unicycle, the easier it is to control, and those very short unicycles are not easy to ride. The same is true for the soundtrack with time difference. The more instruments the better the poorer the performance."

Seeing that we didn't seem to understand what she meant, Xiao Yao added. "Don't you understand yet? Let's put it this way. It would be wonderful to play the piano and the harp together, and it would be majestic to play the piano and the organ together, but the ensemble of the harp and the organ is very awkward. If the time difference is played according to the current situation, the organ should be connected immediately when the harp stops. If the connection is not good, the whole piece will have a fault. Moreover, the alternation process of two instruments with too much contrast is too prominent. But if there are multiple pianos, it will be different. The harp will be performed first. Then the piano will be added, and the harp can be kept constantly. The two instruments are played for a period of time and the harp will stop, and the piano will continue to play solo, and then find the right time to cut into the ensemble of the piano and the organ. This excessive connection is simpler and more wonderful."

We all nodded to show our understanding. It seems that Xiaoyao has learned music and is indeed different from our group of tone-dirty.

I said to Xiaoyao, "What you mean is to ask me to find a few more instruments, right?"
