IVitamin String Quartet.UJENNA SCHOENEFELD Xa usengumntwana, ukudlala kwiokhestra yamabanga aphakamileyo kunye nokuziva unqanyuliwe kwi-zeitgeist edumileyo kuthetha ukuba nawuphina umculo obandakanya izixhobo zakudala yinto ekufuneka ibhiyozelwe. Kwaye ngelixa thina ma-nerds sihlanganisana kumabhendi anje ngeArcade yoMlilo kunye noRa Ra Riot kuba amalungiselelo omtya wabo ayebhakwa kwasekuqaleni, uhlobo oluncinci, olunobunkunkqele bokurekhodwa kwamandulo lwalukhawuleza lube yindlela yokubonakalisa oko nathi, sinokuba kuko ndiyakwazi u.
Umtya weStart Quartet kuLed Zeppelin (1999) banikezela ngokuthabatha okuhlaziyayo kwiingoma zala ma-rocker anzima, anqula i-rune, esungula iQela lelebheli ye-CMH, kunye ne-Vitamin Records yabo, kuhambo olukufuphi kumashumi amabini eminyaka lokufaka uluntu lwakudala ngeendlela zokuphila ingxoxo kunye nomculo othandwayo wemihla yethu.
Into eyayityiwa ekuqaleni njengobunewunewu okoko yatyatyamba yaba ngumatshini oneoli eninzi ekhupha amakhulu ama-albhamu njengeVitamin String Quartet, iqela elijikelezayo labadlali abaqhuba kuyo yonke into ukusuka kwimitshato ye-geek ukuya kwimidlalo esasazwayo, amaqela axhasayo anje nge-30 Second to IMars, ibonelela ngesandi sokubonisa ukubonisa IWestworld , kunye nokuhambisa umculo wamaphepha ngamalungiselelo abo kumaziko eokhestra benethemba lokushukumisa irekhodi labo labaphulaphuli abancinci banamhlanje.
Iinkcukacha-manani zixelela: Nangona izigidi zokukhutshelwa kunye nokuthengiswa kweCD ngokwasemzimbeni okanye isiqingatha sesigidi sabaphulaphuli ngenyanga kwiSpotify kungangqineki nantoni malunga nomgangatho wezinto zombutho, ukuba i-VSQ ibone impumelelo enkulu kwisithuba se-niche bubungqina bombutho kunye nokuzibophelela kweqela leCMH ekuboniseni ukwakha irekhodi yoluhlobo.
NgoLwesihlanu, nge-14 kaJulayi, i-CMH ikhutshwa I-VSQ yenza iiHits zika-2017 , Inguqulelo yomtya we-quartet yezo zihlanganisi NGOKU ezijongana nabaculi beepop abanjengoEd Sheeran, Khawucinge ngeDragons, iLady Gaga kunye neL Lorde basebenzise ulwimi lwee-quartet-izixhobo ezine kuphela kunye nabadlali bazo, beqhubela phambili iingoma ngokuchanekileyo nangokuziphatha.
Sithanda ukubukela umculo onomdla oza ngezi zixhobo, ngaloo ndlela ithi, umphathi weVSQ brand Leo Flynn. Iqala nge-A & Ring ngomxholo wealbham, uqaphela ukuba zeziphi iitoni ezivakalayo kwaye siza kuya njani kuzo, ezilungiselela okanye umvelisi azive elungile. Iingcamango zivela naphi na kwilebula, kwaye zihlala ziphela njengengxoxo phakathi kukaJames kunye nam malunga neendlela, ngubani olungeleyo njengomlungelelanisi, umvelisi, abadlali.
UJames nguJames Curtiss, ugxa we-A & R kwi-CMH kunye nomququzeleli weprojekthi ophambili kunye ne-VSQ. Uthi ukwandisa into eyayiyiprojekthi nje yokurekhoda ibe yindawo ephilayo, ephefumlayo eyenza ubomi obunzima yayingumsebenzi onzima owawufuna ukunxiba iminqwazi emininzi.
Songamela yonke into-yile nto iza ngayo. Sonke siyahlangana kwaye sisebenza kumalungiselelo ngenxa yezizathu ezininzi. Ngamanye amaxesha siya kwenza ushicilelo lomculo ukukhutshwa, ngamanye amaxesha silungiselela into ethile kuba sifuna ukuba ibe kwindawo eqhelekileyo yeqela lomtshato, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha sifumana izicelo ezizodwa.
Imitshato yeGeek, njengoko aziwa njalo ngothando, iphakathi kwezona zicelo ziqhelekileyo zikhethekileyo. Zikhule zithandwa kangangokuba i-VSQ ikhupha i Umtshato weGeek uthotho lokudityaniswa, olubonisa amalungiselelo okuqanjwa kukaJohn Williams ukusuka I-Indiana Jones kwaye Idabi leenkwenkwezi ecaleni komdlalo wevidiyo wodumo kunye neengoma ze-anime.
Kolu qokelelo, sithatha umculo kwiinkcubeko ze-geek, izinto esaziyo ukuba ziyathandwa, kunye nezinto ze-niche kwaye sinika imbeko kwabo, utshilo uFlynn. Ezinye zezinto ezifunwayo, kwaye kulapho ukwenza ezi zinto kwimitya ziqala ukuwela ziye kwindawo enkulu esebenzayo ebantwini, nokuba batshata kuyo okanye bayisebenzisa yonke imihla ukufunda, ukugxila, ukusebenza okanye ukuphumla.
Ukulungiselela la malungiselelo ukuba adlalwe bukhoma kwasekuqaleni yayingumlo onqabileyo, njengoko ukukhutshwa kweVithamin Records zakudala kwakudla ngokubandakanya ezinye izixhobo-ngaphaya kweevayolini ezimbini, iviola kunye necello ngokwesiko ezinxulunyaniswa necartet yomtya- kumxube.
Amalungiselelo amaninzi okurekhodwa kwestudiyo awazange enzelwe ukuba adlalwe bukhoma, utshilo uC Curtiss Kwezinye zezo zantlandlolo, ngakumbi ngaphambi kokuba mna noLeo singene ebhodini, kukho ubuqhetseba obuninzi kwisitudiyo apho kunokuba siyikhuthaza ngoku. Kukho iindlela ezininzi, mhlawumbi imitya eli-18 ngokuchasene nemitya emine. Kukwakho namalungiselelo amadala apho ngasizathu sithile umfo we-A & R ngelo xesha wakhulisa iinwele zakhe wathi, 'Oku kufuna isigubu somgibe, okanye oku kufuna ikatala yegwala.' Mna noLeo, kokukhona sisebenza kunye koku, ufuna ukuzisa oku kubadlali abane kwigumbi eliphuma kwisithethi sakho. Akukho zongezo, akukho zingcebiso, ngumculo ococekileyo we-quartet.
Kum, iquartet yomtya yenye yezona zinto zomculo zinomdla, umatshini womculo okrelekrele ngokwenene, wongeza uFlynn. Ungayondla njani ukuze ufumane okuninzi kolu matshini? Sifuna ukuba idlidlithe onke la malungu amangalisayo, umdlali kunye nesixhobo. Kungenxa yoko le nto siye salwa kwaye sathanda ukuhlala kude nezixhobo zombane kunye neziphumo ezininzi. Kuninzi kakhulu ukukubona kwimitya ye-acoustic, emva koko ulahle ukwakheka kwe-Kanye West kuloo mxube? Kuyanyanzeleka kakhulu.
UCurtiss ucacisa ukuba nje ukuba yena noFlynn baqonde amandla okuqhuba ingoma ethile okanye uhlobo oluthile, bangaqala ukusebenza nabaququzeleli ukusuka apho. Ukuzahlula ezo cores zinamandla kwitoni nganye akuvumeli kuphela ukuba bafumane ulungelelwaniso lwee-quartet ezifanelekileyo kwingoma nganye, kodwa kuqinisekisa ukuba izixhobo ezine ziya kutsalela ubunzima bazo kwaye zenze uninzi lokudlala kwazo kunye.
Ukuguqulela umculo onesingqi esinamandla, umzekelo, ayisiyiyo [malunga] nokukhulisa okanye ukugqwetha-yinto enobundlongondlongo, kukuchaneka okuza kumqondo wayo omdaka ngokuchasene nomculo wekhetshi. Yinto enye nomculo wepop. Kuya kufuneka uve umculo wepop, cinga ukuba yintoni le inene abantu banamathele kuyo, kwaye uyiphinde loo nto kwimitya. Ngaba yi-bounce, ingoma, i-groove? Ngaba ibuyiselwe umva, iyaqhuba?
Ngamanye amaxesha, ukucoca ulwelo ngengoma kunokutshintsha utshintsho lwayo kancinci. Uguqulelo lwe-VSQ lwe-The Weeknd's Starboy, umzekelo, ngabom washiya ngasemva umjelo kunye nokuqhuba loo mzila wokuqala ukuze enze umgodi wengoma osisityebi kunye nengoma. Isingqisho iseyinto yokuguqulelwa kwabo, kodwa ingoma izuza iphupha elingaphezulu, umgangatho womoya. Ayifuni nokuba ibethi ukuyiqhuba, ihamba nje, utsho uFlynn. Xa oko kubuyile, kuya kwindawo eyahlukileyo ngokupheleleyo.
Ngolwimi lwecartet yomtya, iingoma ze-VSQ zikwazisa isandi esongeziweyo xa sisetyenziswa kamnandi kwizandi zomculo. Cinga ngeXesha loku-1 le-HBO IWestworld , xa amalungiselelo e-VSQ yeengoma ezidumileyo yiRadiohead kunye neeThoba ze-intshi ezisithoba zibonise ngokugqibeleleyo imixholo yomboniso wokuqhuba okwadlulayo ngoku.
Kuthi, kukho loo msebenzi, utsho uFlynn. Ukuthatha into entsha nentsha kwaye uyiqhube kancinci kwimbali yomculo ukubona ukuba zinjani izinto kwelinye icala, zithini iziphumo.
Ixabiso elenziwa ngophawu lwe-VSQ kuwo nawaphi na amaziko eklasikhi angcwalisiweyo anokuba kunzima ukuba adibane nabaphulaphuli banamhlanje ayinakulinganiswa. Njengamanqaku aphilayo kwiifilimu ezindala kunye nokudlalwa komculo wevidiyo yomculo kuya kusiba yimfuneko ukubeka izitulo ezihlalweni, ukucinga ngopop kunye namatye eetart quartet kuzisa umdlalo weengoma eziqhelekileyo kuluntu lwakudala.
Njengemvumi ngokwam, andizikhethi macala, utshilo uFlynn. Ndicinga ukuba zonke iintlobo zinomdla. Entsha kunye nomdala, i-tonal kunye ne-atonal, konke kukufanelekile ukuva kunye nokuzama. Ndidla ngokwenza loo nto njengesiqhelo, kwaye ndinikwe loo nto, ukuba idlalwe ngamanqaku bukhoma kwifilimu, kutheni? Yintoni esithathe ixesha elide?
I-repertoire yomculo weklasikhi iya kuba mdala kuphela. Sisuswe kuphela kwithuba lokubhalwa kwala maqhekeza, kuxhokonxwa kwezo zinto zazisenziwa. Oko ayizukubanciphisa njengomculo, kodwa ngokwenkcubeko, ixesha liyahamba. Ezo holo zinkulu kunye nee symphony, njengathi sonke, kufuneka sicinge ngokubaluleka komyalezo wazo nezinto abazibeka emoyeni.
