- bbong-jjak (Trot), which way should it go in order to attract more people ?
-
- * Good points of Trot :
-
- 1) Trot appeals to feeling from bottom of our heart. This music is not
- stalking to us as trivial or trifling sound. So, the trot singers are
- the best at an aspect of vocalism. I think that, even though someone
- doesn't like the trot, he cannot ignore it easily.
-
- 2) Strangely the trot fits for Korean. If someone is an extreme Rock Mania,
- he cannot resist there is at least one or two experiences for him to feel
- very easy when he is listening trot. In addition, if he is getting older and
- older, that experience repeated more than his younger period. I can't
- explain but trot is very suitable music field for Korean.
-
- * Bad points of Trot :
-
- 1) Melody and rhythm are too monotonous. Of course, it can be a good point
- for someone because the word "monotonous" can be converted to "familiar".
- However, this "familiar" thing makes the limitation of expansion of trot
- lovers.
-
- 2) It is almost impossible to invent the new trot of upper dimension.
- The attration of trot is the strictness of that structure. So, it is not
- easy to upgrade the trot while keeping nature trot "thing".
-
- * How can the trot be more lucrative field of music?
-
- 1) Combination among the other fields of music.
-
- Let me distinguish 'the combination between trot and the other' and
- 'convention of new dimention'.
-
- When I call 'convention of new dimention', that means the difference between
- "I want to hold your hand" and "Hey Jude" both by Beatles. Although an
- interval of time when two songs made is only 4 years, two songs are totally
- different each other, and the latter "Hey Jude" is more progressive than the
- former "I want to hold your hand". I want to define that kind of difference
- as "Convention".
-
- The representative "Combination" I want to tell you, is Garth Brook's music.
- He slightly seasons Rock with his country music. Though it looks different
- with original country, it is still country music. However, that combination
- is very fresh and sensational.
-
- I think it is necessary for Korean trot to attempt to make this combination.
- If the Korean Rock group like "Wild Chrysanthemum (?)" (Deul-Guk-Hwa) try to
- make trot to be suitable for their musical circumstance, it'll be such a fresh
- music. I heard "Yoo Hyun Sang", ex-leader of group "Mt. Baek-Doo", sang trot.
- I expected him to make the trot combined with his Rock and Trot, but I guess
- it was too hard work for him to do it. I think this work is an "uncovered
- virgin soil" of Korean Pop Music. New musician should appear for this.
-
-
- P.S. : I don't want "Tae-Ji" to do this job. They are a fake.
