Lan Li's head was still aching, and the hangover deeply stimulated the surface of his brain. He felt as if a group of villains were climbing over the hills and ridges. The memory of last night was only fragmented and could not be pieced together. WwΔW. LieWen. Cc However, he didn't want to recall. Isn't the meaning of drinking to forget the reality and wanton carnival?

The scene outside the window is receding fast, tall palm trees bathed in golden sunlight, and people walking leisurely in flower shorts and flip-flops can be seen on both sides of the spacious street, reminding Lan Li, here It's Los Angeles, not New York.

"Len Li, are you okay? Do you need to stop and buy a cup of coffee?" Andy's concerned voice came from his ear.

Lan Li waved his hand and rejected the proposal. He felt that no matter if he drinks coffee now, he should just vomit it out. The overwhelming stomach sounded really bad.

"Lan Li, otherwise we stop and eat a little breakfast first, at least we can cushion our stomach." Andy asked again with concern.

Lan Li still waved his hand. He didn't even want to speak now, let alone stuffing things into his stomach? He felt that the burden was too great.

"Len Li, are you sure it's okay? Do you know where we are on the way now?" Andy felt that Lan Li was in really bad condition.

Lan Li finally turned his head, bowed his eyes and cast a glance at Andy, "I don't want to talk now. What I want most is, you can be quiet for a while, don't you receive my signal?" That helpless spit, let Andy's smile froze. This was really entertaining at Lanly, and the smile at the corner of his mouth rose, "We are on the way to the recording studio. Don't worry, I won't spit it out in the recording studio."

Andy's forehead began to sweat.

How did things get to this point? Lan Li thought this was really interesting.

If a week ago, someone told him that the single "Cleopatra" was not just as simple as making it to the billboard charts, but it really attracted the attention of the public and caused a small craze. , And he has to enter the recording studio to record an official version of this song, then he will think this is the smartest joke since 2o1o.

But now, they are sitting in a car heading to the City of Sound.

The City of Sound, located on the west side of Universal Studios, is actually the name of a recording studio, symbolizing Los Angeles' most brilliant and beautiful music dream since the 1970s. The city of sound was established in 1969. Under the background of the smoke of the Vietnam War, its shabby background made it very inconsistent with the hippie movement’s advocating the beauty of flowers and freedom at the time. Even unknown singers at the beginning were unwilling to treat themselves His voice was recorded in that "dirty and terrible" place.

However, in the 197o era, after great singers such as spirit and nei1-yang successively recorded and handed down classic albums here, the City of Sound has gradually attracted more and more attention. There are countless great names in this recording studio, and the albums of musicians such as metal band (meta11ica), Elton-John, Nirvana, etc., which established their supreme status are all from this.

This also makes the City of Sound the most prestigious recording studio in Los Angeles in one fell swoop, with countless crowds flocking to the pilgrimage.

However, after entering the 21st century, the music carrier is changing with each passing day, and the recording method has undergone earth-shaking changes. The last time Lan Li completed the recording of "Cleopatra" on his home computer, this also made the recording. The status of the laboratory in the industry has gradually declined. Even a well-known recording studio like the City of Sound is declining in status.

Now they are about to head to the City of Sound to complete Lan Li's first studio tour.

For Lan Li, this is like an incredible journey of fantasy. Compared with the job of recording singles, standing in the recording studio of the City of Sound and completing the recording of singles is like following those great musicians. General footsteps, this is the most magical part; as for the single, Lanly has no hope. For him, music is just like rock climbing and surfing, just one of the many activities in his spare time.

What was it like to record in a studio where a classic album like "Nevermind" was once recorded? What is it like to feel the music in a space where Kurt Cobain used to be wild? Furthermore, what is it like to stand in the studio and record music?

Now Lan Li has the opportunity to experience it for himself.

"Andy, how did you make an appointment to the recording studio of the City of Sound in such a short time?" The stomach tumbling gradually calmed down, and the swelling of the brain seemed to be relieved under the warm California sunshine. When the buildings of the City of Sound appeared from afar, Lan Li couldn't help but became a little excited and asked about it.

Andy spread his hands out, "This is not the hottest recording studio in town anymore."

"But it's still amazing!" Lan Li exclaimed, after all, the time is too short, there is only a 30-minute gap before and after.

Andy shrugged, as if it wasn't worth mentioning. As the top agent of an innovative artist management company, this little ability is not a problem.

The City of Sound in front of you looks like an abandoned garage. The yellowed walls are mottled, flies are flying beside the rusty water pipes, and a dozen vintage cars are parked in the huge parking lot, but within sight But there was no one, barren and deserted, as if abandoned in a corner of the city.

The former prosperity and noise, at this time, have been silent, reckless and desolate, as if the flowers and cheers are still in the ear, but there is nothing left in the line of sight.

Just a glance, Lan Li fell in love with it. It's a pity that he didn't bring his camera, so he took out his phone and stood in the corner of the parking lot, sealing this second of time in the film forever.

Lan Li and Andy pushed open the big red wooden door. Unlike the high-end and elegant recording studio in the impression, the space in front of them was full of the smell of a garage recording studio, with cigarette butts all over the floor and stacked tables. And chairs, the red sand is covered with dust, the machines that have been eliminated after the replacement, the chairs that are randomly placed, and there is even a mattress with springs and cotton exposed, and there are exposed wires on the wall-then blue Li saw a brown velvet blanket hanging on the wall, out of place but completely natural... the casual and undisciplined style, and even some sloppy, made people feel a sense of intimacy without hindrance.

In the ever-changing 21st century, in such a backward, stubborn, and dilapidated space, a kind of pureness and persistence of music has burst out.

"This..." Andy was a bit poor. "This is even more sloppy than I thought." Andy frowned. He felt like he had chosen the wrong studio.

After a turn at the end of the corridor, the line of sight suddenly became clear. There were platinum-certified records hanging on the wall, and the whole wall was hung up all over the place, which was simply spectacular. Even Andy, a music layman, couldn't help but open his eyes.

Andy walked to the door of the recording studio, but found that Lan Li did not follow him. Turning around, he saw Lan Li with his hands behind him, looking at the platinum record in front of him with interest, "Lan Li, hurry up, let’s make an appointment. It's time."

"Go ahead, I'll follow up in a while." In Lan Li's eyes, history is a very interesting thing. Everyone wants to be recorded in the annals of history and become a special existence in history, but more At that time, history was created unconsciously. When Nirvana recorded "Don't Mind", they didn't know that this album will have an incalculable and profound impact on the music industry in the next two decades.

Therefore, the wall in front of me records not only the glory of the City of Sound, but also a witness that bears the weight of history.

However, Lan Li didn't know that guns-n’-Roses (guns-n’-Roses) had also recorded an album here, as well as the Nine Inch Nails (Guns-n’-Roses). "There are indeed many great singers gathered here, haven't they?" A voice came from his ear, and Lan Li turned his head abruptly, and then saw a few people standing in front of him.

Lan Li immediately realized that the corridor was too narrow, and he blocked the road. "Sorry." Lan Li quickly stood up straight and stepped out of the way. They nodded towards Lan Li, and then walked out quickly. .

However, the person who had just spoken to Lan Li still stayed, "It takes courage to choose to record here."

Lan Li spread his hands, "Maybe I want to have a little breath of greatness, and bless my album to achieve good results."

The playful tone made the other party laugh freely, "Then I will cross my fingers for you." After laughing, he pointed to the recording studio behind, "Young people nowadays tend to record digitally and rely on electronic Synthesis and music software can do the job. Not many people know how to appreciate the essence of traditional recording. So, I wish you good luck."

"If you can answer your question..." Lan Li shrugged ~ www.novelhall.com ~ What I came to record today is a folk song. "

Compared with pop, electronic, rap, etc., folk songs do not require electronic synthesis, and traditional recording is the best way to play the essence of music.

However, Lan Li's ridiculous gesture made the other party smile again, "Then you must try neve-8o28, she can present the most original melody, which is unmatched by digital music. I hope you His singing is worthy of her." He did not hide his love for the machine in the slightest. "Maybe, I will listen to your music then. David Groh (dave-groh1)."

Looking at the outstretched generous palm, Lan Li shook hands politely, "Lan Li-Hall."

"Good luck recording today." David nodded and signaled, then took his steps and left in strides.

Looking at David's back, Lan Li pursed his lips lightly-this was a good start. David Glu, the drummer of the Nirvana band and the founder of the Spitfire band, has reserved a seat in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Welcome to the city of sounds.
