[Music Talk Talk] The reason why Sechs Kies goes to YG recording studio every day before their concert
[OSEN=선미경 기자] These guys are doing their very best for fans. While group Sechs Kies is working hard on their upcoming concert, they are going to YG’s recording studio every day. For their first concert in 16 years, Sechs Kies is doing everything from scratch, from the music itself.
Sechs Kies goes to YG’s recording studio every day these days. While being busy with preparation for the concert and appearance in TV shows, Sechs Kies has been recording more than 20 songs they will perform in the concert from scratch.
According to YG, there were only one or two available accompanying music for Sechs Kies songs as they have not sung for the past 16 years. No one had the accompanying music for Sechs Kies’ songs. Plus, YG does not usually use accompanying music for TV shows in its artists’ concerts, as the company puts great importance on the quality of the sound. Therefore, YG is creating the accompanying music for Sechs Kies’ concert on its own. It shows how big pride YG has in its concerts and how much YG is caring about the quality of its concerts.
YG plays music in multi-tracks from rehearsals and mixes the sound again in compliance with the one-site conditions found in the rehearsals, because echo is generated and sound becomes much different according to the size and circumstances of concert halls. YG’s CEO YANG HYUN SUK puts utmost importance on the quality of sound in concerts, so the first thing he did upon signing the contract with Sechs Kies was to call more than 10 producers and to order them to restore the sound of Sechs Kies’s music that was recorded 16 years ago.
That is the work to upgrade the sound through mixing by American engineers, while maintaining the originality of Sechs Kies’ music. It is of course hard to rewrite and mix more than 20 songs within a short period of time, but it is even harder for Sechs Kies to record those songs all over again including chorus parts.
An YG insider said, “It is only hard at the beginning. Once the recording and mixing is completed, all performances that Sechs Kies will do from now on will be able to boast perfect sound”. As Sechs Kies members are working very hard on the preparation of their concert with YANG HYUN SUK’s full support, many people believe that the concert will be unprecedentedly perfect.
Notably, all the 20,000 tickets for Sechs Kies’ concert have been sold out, proving the team’s still-great presence in the music scene. Such a record also shows how desperately fans have been longing for Sechs Kies’ reunion. Fans are expressing big anticipation for Sechs Kies’ first concert in 16 years.
Sechs Kies’ concert “2016 SECHSKIES CONCERT YELLOW NOTE” will be held on September 10 and 11 at Olympic Gymnastics Arena in Seoul.
