流行音樂創作脈絡分析之探討—以《回身 · 迴聲》專輯為例

Abstract

音樂相關科技的快速發展，大幅度的改變了流行音樂創作與製作的方式，各類音樂製作軟體，對於音樂中的元素，如節奏、音色、風格，以及編曲與錄音工程等等，都造成了重大的影響，而AI創作的興起，更是將流行音樂帶入了一個全新的境界。過去，製作出一個音樂產品所需要經歷的龐大工程，現在很可能在自家的工作室就可以完成。但即便如此，流行音樂創作元素中的旋律、歌詞、節奏等原創精神的存在必要性是不能改變的。本研究從一位資深樂手的角度，以八零、九零年代為出發點，分析探討流行音樂的創作脈絡，進而實作的過程。研究中亦專訪了幾位台灣流行音樂的資深創作人、製作人與民歌手，分享他們的音樂故事，以及經典流行音樂的創作經驗與錄製過程，並以「保留傳統創作思維，結合科技應用路徑」為方向，進而實作的音樂專輯。因此將本專輯的名稱定為《回身．迴聲》，同時具有回溯過往與展望未來的意義。The rapid development of music-related technology has greatly changed the way of creation and production of popular music. Various types of music production software have had a significant impact on the rhythm, timbre, arrangement and recording engineering of music. The rise of AI music creation has brought popular music to a whole new realm. In the past, the huge project that needed to make a music product is now likely to be completed in your own studio. But even so, the author always believes that the necessity of original spirits such as melody, lyrics, rhythm in popular music creation elements will never change.Present study analyzes and explores the creative context of popular music from the perspective of a senior musician, starting from the 1980s and 1990s, and then implements the process. Present study also interviewed several senior creators, producers and folk singers of Taiwanese pop music, by sharing their music stories, and the creative experience and recording process of classic pop music, with the idea of"retaining traditional creative thinking and combining technology application paths" as the direction for the music album. Therefore, the name of this album is set as "Turn around & Sound around", and it has the meaning of think back and looking forward to the future.
