While heading to Paradise Enter, Chaeyoon was quietly immersed in thought.
If something was gloomy or if he had been quiet because he was not in a good mood, Jo Sung-hyun would have come out right away and tried to relieve Chae-yoon’s mood… .
‘It’s not like that, so it’s hard to say anything.’
Jo Sung-hyun thought to himself and glanced at Chae-yoon.
In the taxi to Paradise Entertainment, Chaeyoon looked out the window and stared at passersby and cars.
Perhaps, if Jang Hyun-ah had seen this, she would have said that she was also a daughter and that she was the same as Jo Sung-hyun, but Jo Sung-hyun was not aware of that.
I just thought that, as expected, Chaeyoon becomes infinitely serious when thinking about music.
Jo Sung-hyun reached out and stroked Chae-yoon’s hair.
Only then did Chae-yoon turn her head to meet Jo Sung-hyun’s eyes.
“Chae Yoon-ah.”
“Yes.”
“Why did you suddenly want to go to the studio?”
“Because there is a performance I want to try.”
“okay? Would you like to make a song and play it yourself?”
“yes. Dad… I’m hungry?”
Chae-yoon looks at Jo Sung-hyun and asks.
Jo Sung-hyun is hungry, but because of him, he can’t even eat and is on his way to the studio.
Seeing the child’s expression, Jo Sung-hyun smiled.
He lowered the hand that was stroking the boy’s head and lightly pinched the cheek.
“Dad isn’t very hungry either. Still, Dad wanted to work.”
“really?”
“yes. There is a song I was originally working on, and I wanted to finish it.”
Jo Sung-hyun said with a smile.
A song I wrote about myself.
I wanted to release the song with a little modification and refinement.
It was no joke that a lot of inspiration came to me while watching the exhibition.
I also want to try to make new songs with those inspirations, but the most important thing to do is to apply them to the songs I’m making now.
I’m still busy, but it’s hard to put off the album production schedule by writing new songs.
‘If I write a new song, I can use it someday, but… .’
I have to do what I need to do right now.
Jo Sung-hyeon thought to himself and looked at Chae-yoon.
Chaeyoung laughed.
“Then I can go and work hard for my dad, and I can work too!”
“yes. If you get hungry while working, can you go to a nearby restaurant to eat and then start working again?”
Saying that, Chaeyoon nodded her head.
It was a little ironic that the end of a date with a child was going to the studio, but…
Because it was Chae-yoon and Seong-hyun Cho, there was nothing I could do.
If they hadn’t gone to the studio, they would have gone home and played together, but one way or another, their date was destined to end with music.
We just arrived at Paradise Enter.
“hello.”
“Uh, hello. It’s the weekend, are you going to work?”
“yes. How did it happen?”
After saying hello to the security guard, Jo Seong-hyeon headed towards the studio.
And he was able to meet familiar faces in the elevator.
“uh?”
The elevator door opens and a familiar voice comes out.
Jo Seong-hyeon looked at the people in the elevator and blinked.
“Hello, Producer!”
“Oh yes, hello.”
The Muse, who was riding in the elevator, quickly bowed her head to say hello.
It was the first time I saw him in a few days, so Jo Sung-hyun greeted me warmly.
Lately, Muse has had some really crazy days.
making a debut
Wandering around the pub… While digesting the schedule I had set before my debut, I couldn’t refuse all the appearances on TV shows that were suddenly offered, and I went out… .
“You look a little tired, are you okay?”
Jo Sung-hyun asked as he got into the elevator.
The muse smiled and waved at Chaeyoon, and then raised her head at the same time as Jo Sunghyeon’s question.
After looking at each other, Yerin Lee opens her mouth as the representative.
“I think it’s because I’m so excited that I can’t sleep well. After this, if I get tired to the limit, I get excited, and I wonder if I will be able to sleep right away if I just lie down.”
She spoke in a voice mixed with laughter.
Jo Seong-hyeon smirked and nodded his head.
“Health comes first, so don’t overdo it. Even if I say this, it’s a situation where I have no choice but to overdo it… Still, I get a good night’s sleep if possible.”
As he said that, he made eye contact with the members of the Muse one after another.
If the muse is not able to control the condition while digesting the schedule excessively, there may be setbacks in work as Jo Sung-hyun.
Because I was going to work on an album with Min Ha-young.
Of course, that wasn’t the main reason.
He was genuinely concerned about the health of the muse.
His wife was ill and collapsed.
Although the muse wasn’t his family, it was natural to be concerned.
“Yep. I will sleep hard from today. After only two hours of practice, I will go to my dorm and sleep right away.”
Yerin Lee says so, and the others respond that they will sleep well soon.
After showing a smile, Jo Seong-hyeon got off the elevator.
After a brief meeting with the muse, he hurriedly moved on.
“Do you want to work in Chae-yoon’s studio? Or will we be together in my dad’s studio?”
“I want to go to my studio.”
At the child’s words, Jo Sung-hyun opened the door to Chae-yoon’s studio.
It was right next to me anyway, so I wasn’t too worried.
If something happens, or if you’re hungry, Chae-yoon can come to you right away.
Conversely, Jo Sung-hyeon is also easy to find children.
I turned on the lights in Chaeyoon’s studio and set the settings so that the child could work comfortably.
It wasn’t that complicated.
All I did was turn on the keyboard, find a sheet music and a pen, and put it on the table.
Chae-yoon knows how to touch a songwriting program, but she can’t really use it skillfully.
While watching Jo Seong-hyeon work from the side, you can perform simple manipulations, but not do more than that.
Children tend to create songs by using sheet music or by recording on the spot.
It is up to Cho Sung-hyun to refine it and complete it.
“Then, Chae Yoon-ah, if you need anything while working, come to your father’s room. You can just text me.”
“yes! Good bye!”
Chae-yoon sat in front of the keyboard, held up a blank sheet of music, and waved to Seong-hyeon Jo.
Jo Seong-hyeon also shook her head and left the child’s studio.
Now it was time for him to work.
* * *
Jo Seong-hyeon looked at the monitor in front of him and let out a small sigh.
There were things that had to be repaired from the beginning.
It was fortunate that only the basic frame had been drawn up, but it would have been really difficult if we had continued to push and work on it.
For now, it’s still a situation where you just have to make a few modifications and move on.
Jo Seong-hyeon moved his hands in a hurry.
“If everything goes as I think, I think a pretty good song will come out… ”
He mumbled and made a bitter sound.
The biggest drawback of the song he was working on this time was that it was monotonous.
It felt soft and affectionate, but in the end I couldn’t get rid of the monotony…
By the way, while actually recording the performance, I realized that it could be less monotonous than it seemed, but it was natural to not be able to do it rather than modify the song itself.
I got a hint from this exhibition.
Different approaches can make monotonous things less monotonous.
Right now, if you think about the first section of the exhibition I went to this time, you can see it.
From https://noblemtl.com
Masterpieces that fill the walls in the first section.
Just looking at it can make you feel a little banal.
Because it was just classic, old paintings.
The lighting and the angle of the light were slightly different to create a quiet and subdued atmosphere.
The same goes for music.
While using Brahms’ songs, it had a fairly classic and monotonous feel.
There were elements that could be boring if you looked at them separately, but when they were all added together, didn’t it give a strong shock to Cho Sung-hyun?
Jo Sung-hyun wanted to bring that feeling to life.
He started to work in earnest in a direction where he could make use of the strengths of the song he currently has and eliminate the shortcomings as much as possible.
I add quite a variety of devices to the framework I have.
The framework did not change significantly.
Like I said, it was just a simple fix.
Jo Seong-hyeon, who made quick corrections, soon began to add flesh little by little, and this was a work that took a lot of effort in earnest.
I have to change the things I originally thought about in real time and add new elements.
I had to use my brain a little more than I normally do.
It’s just adding a few more elements, but it’s not just adding those elements, it’s all because it has to be meaningful and pleasing to listen to from multiple perspectives.
how many hours did you work
By the time evening passed.
He was able to get some work done.
It will probably take a day or two more to complete it properly… As good songs will come out, it wasn’t a problem that it took more time to work.
In that way, Jo Seong-hyeon exhaled, saved what he had worked on, and got up from his seat.
As soon as he woke up, he realized he was hungry, so he sneaked out of his studio and headed for Chaeyoon’s.
I thought that the child would be very hungry, too, but Chae-yoon was just like how she greeted Jo Sung-hyun.
I was moaning with the sheet music in front of the keyboard.
Chaeyoon, who was writing something with a pen, raised her head again and placed her hand on the keyboard.
I got into the rhythm by shaking my head a few times, and at some point the performance started.
follow. follow me.
The performance went very smoothly.
At the same time, it plays pretty fast.
Jo Sung-hyun looked at Chae-yoon with surprised eyes.
Chaeyoon was so focused on music that she didn’t even notice he was coming… .
It was a song that was understandable enough.
It’s such a beautiful song.
How should I express this?
I couldn’t know exactly because it wasn’t a perfect song yet, but I could tell that Chaeyoon realized a lot through the exhibition.
Cho Sung-hyun, as a musician, was purely admiring.
Because the light was shining in the performance.
I couldn’t help but be amazed.
Chaeyoon stopped playing after playing for a while.
The child thought for a moment again, then picked up the sheet music and wrote something with a pen.
He still doesn’t know at all that Jo Sung-hyun has come.
Seeing such a child, Jo Sung-hyun shook his head.
I realized that a song like this would come out if the child was inspired and really focused.
‘I should contact Professor Shin Hwa.’
Cho Sung-hyun couldn’t listen to this song alone.
