Music Like Miracle: Super Band奇迹般的音乐:《超级乐队》

May 26, 2020 Zhang Siyi 

I always prefer to music variety. Among inland programs, some of them are enchanting, such as I Am a Singer, Super Vocal, Our Songs and so on. However, I’m going to recommend Super Band, which, I think, belongs to the best music variety shows in the past few years. Super Band is a Korean variety, for finding hidden musicians and ultimately composing world-wide bands. Comparing with other programs, Super Band possesses several bright spots.

小编一直很迷音综,在国内,也有一些品质优良的节目:如《我是歌手》、《声入人心》、《我们的歌》等,都很喜欢。但今天要推荐的《超级乐队》是我觉得近年来遇到的最好的音乐综艺。《超级乐队》是一个致力于发掘隐藏音乐人、最终组成世界级超级乐队的韩国综艺。《超级乐队》和其他音综相比起来,有几大亮点。



Director is devoted to founding super bands.

Firstly, the program group shows great tolerance towards all kinds of instruments. Super Band refuses to place limited scope, such as typical instruments for rock bands—guitar, bass, piano keyboard, drum and so on. Instead, harmonica, accordion, classic guitar, cello, violin and other unusual instruments are chosen. The ambition to break conventions is absolutely clear and the spirit to face challenge matches its goal—global bands. Additionally, Super Band keeps standards of music talent and band matchup, which shows its seriousness towards music, so that it brings endless possibilities, especially in this “powerful beauty” society. Lastly, the compact rhythm, novel competition system and eye-catching production are absolutely attractive for audience.

节目组致力打造超级乐队

首先,节目组对于各种乐器的宽容度高,没有把乐队限定在摇滚乐队的标准配备上(吉他、贝斯、键盘、鼓),口琴、手风琴、古典吉他、大提琴、小提琴等,都是乐队中不常见的乐器,节目组力求突破的意图由此可见,敢于挑战的精神的确配得上打造全球性超级乐队的目标。另外,以音乐才华和乐队的适配度作为选拔标准,在这样一个偏爱颜值的社会,节目组对音乐的严肃态度,也给《超级乐队》带来了无限可能。最后,《超级乐队》节奏紧凑、赛制新颖、制作夺目,能充分吸引观众。

 

 

Judges possess strong professional ability and always give objective evaluation.

Five judges own tough strong professional ability. The Nell’s singer Jin Zhongwan, the DJ of Linkin Park, Joseph Hahn, and Li Xiuxian from Akdong Musician, all have extensive band experience. Not alone Yin Shang and Yin Zhongxin are the senior musicians in Korean. They prefer to appraise players’ live performance and band matchup, instead of digging out bad growing stories to prolong time and create moving atmosphere. And they don’t deliberately scold players to steal the spotlight, on the contrary, they put themselves’ feet into other’s shoes so as to honestly encourage players. With the example of these judges, on this show form the solid friendships like soulmates, rather than life-and-death competition.

制作人专业能力强且评价客观

五位制作人的专业能力都很强,韩国Nell乐队主唱金钟万、林肯公园的DJ乔瑟夫,乐童音乐家的李秀贤,都有着丰富的乐队经历;尹尚、尹钟信更是韩国音乐界的元老级人物。制作人的评价侧重于选手的现场表现、乐队融合度,而不是刻意挖掘辛酸成长故事,拖沓剧情、制造煽情效果;制作人也没有为了哗众取宠、制造噱头,故意责骂甚至羞辱选手,他们往往能够将心比心,真诚地鼓励选手。在制作人的带领下,选手之间的氛围不是你死我活的竞争,而是互相引为知己的兄弟情义。


 

Players, having great music accomplishment, join the show with innocent purposes.

Contrast to other variety shows, players join the show with innocent purposes: some are searching for like-minded people to resist loneliness in music, some aim to break the prejudice for classical music, while some of them determine to play all the percussion instruments in the world and share them with audience, some of them manage to broaden their music fields or purely enjoy music… because of this, they admire and praise each other rather than compare or envy. Most players have great music accomplishment—on average, they can play at least two instruments, and even skillfully. What’s more, they dare to break out of comfort zones and widen their music field: in the process of recombining bands, they give up their strengths and learn other strange instruments, so as to establish the most harmonious band. For example, guitar player Zhao Hanjie and violinist Benji, who both are willing to turn to bass players for better performances, and singer Hong Isaac chooses to give up his pursuing in naturalism and initiate his “urbanization” with rock bands. It is because of their breakthrough that many ear-catching performances appear.

选手参赛目的单纯且音乐素养高

不同于其他综艺节目,《超级乐队》的选手参赛目的都很单纯:有的希望能找到志同道合的音乐伙伴,不再孤独;有的希望打破大众对古典乐器的成见;有的想要演奏世界上所有的打击乐器,分享给观众;有的希望扩展自己的音乐领域;有的只是单纯热爱音乐……正因为如此,他们互相之间没有比较、嫉妒,更多的是欣赏、赞扬。选手们的音乐素养很高,平均每人都能演奏两种以上的乐器,并且达到了炉火纯青地步;另外,他们不拘泥于自己的音乐,在一次次的乐队重组过程中,藏住自己的锋芒、接触其他乐器,以便能打造和谐的乐队,例如:吉他手赵翰洁、小提琴手Benji,都愿意为乐队需要,暂时成为贝斯手;主唱Hong Isaac暂时放弃自己音乐上对自然主义的一贯追求,和摇滚乐队一起开始了“城市化”的尝试。正是有了这些人的不断突破,才有了一次次夺人耳目的乐队表演。



Music like miracle

DJ Dpole has said:” playing with others helps form brand new and miraculous music, doesn’t it?” They do bring miraculous music: Zhao Yuanshang leads his guitar foursome, the most impossible band, with four guitars, promoting successfully and getting Coldplay’s preference, which proves the infinite possibilities of bands. Any example is An Shengzhen, a chemistry teacher from senior high school, who connects “CaCO3+2HCl=CaCl2+CO2+H2O” with music, creating a brainwashing song.

奇迹般的音乐

正如DJ制作人dpole所说:“和其他人一起做音乐,就会诞生全新的、奇迹般的音乐,不是吗?”他们确实给观众带来了奇迹般的音乐:赵元尚带领的吉他F4组——最不像乐队的乐队——只凭借四把吉他演奏,不仅成功晋级,甚至获得了原唱酷玩乐队的青睐,这也昭示了乐队可以有无限的可能;还有高中化学老师安圣真,把化学方程式CaCO3+2HCl=CaCl2+CO2+H2O融入音乐之中,堪称洗脑神曲。


 

In Dou Ban, Super Band get a grand score:9.8, which is another proof. If you like music variety, I recommend you to watch it.

豆瓣上《超级乐队》评分高达9.8,这正是这档综艺高质量、高水准的又一佐证。对音综有兴趣的小伙伴们可以来看一看呀!
