What did Masew do for North Bling ?

In Hoa Minzy's latest product, Masew is credited as the music producer.

In many stages of music production, Masew is directly involved in the arrangement (mixing) phase.

This time, Masew didn't handle the entire process like before. Thi Mau . The male producer breaks down the music production process into smaller steps and focuses more on the details to maximize his professional potential.

There are two key points that demonstrate Masew's willingness to step back for professional reasons. First, a series of crucial sound layers in the arrangement, from instruments that highlight the ethnic elements to... North Bling Instruments like the flute, the two-stringed fiddle, and the moon lute are performed by instrumentalists and recorded with live sound input.

Next, in the mixing and mastering (audio post-production) stage, Masew assigned the task to a different sound engineer, instead of doing it himself as in many previous productions. This stage directly determines the appeal of the song, as Xuan Hinh's vocals need to be carefully mixed, and the backing vocals of the artists need to share a common frequency.

Bringing the "spirit" of Vietnamese music to shine.

Masew is one of the most active producers in using traditional instruments among young producers in the market. In recent years, Vietnamese music has seen the addition of DTAP, K-ICM, and many other producers who are actively exploring traditional musical elements, thereby breathing vibrant life into the market.

The đàn bầu is one of Vietnam's traditional musical instruments that is becoming increasingly popular among producers. Besides that, instruments such as the flute, tiêu, đàn tranh, đàn nguyệt, and đàn nhị, which originated in China but have been introduced to Vietnam a long time ago, are also considered traditional instruments and are increasingly being chosen by Vietnamese producers as part of their commercial music productions.

Singer/songwriter/producer Cao Bá Hưng shared with Tien Phong Newspaper : "Vietnamese traditional musical instruments possess a beauty and uniqueness that is second to none in the world . In the flow of modern music, Hung feels that we haven't fully exploited their hidden potential. Hung himself is diligently learning and experiencing each melody and each instrument to blend the ancient soul with a new breath, bringing this music closer to modern audiences."

In the music video In addition to Masew and DJ Feliks as the main producers, the list of participating artists for Bắc Bling also includes Meritorious Artist Nguyễn Hoàng Anh (bamboo flute), Lê Minh, Duy Thông (two-stringed fiddle), and Dũng Nguyệt (moon lute).

For example, when Xuan Hinh raps, there's no need for a background music with the "magical" sounds of a recording studio and pounding drums; the appearance of the flute and moon lute suddenly feels surprisingly fitting. Similarly, throughout Masew's arrangements, the piano only serves as a backdrop for sounds that embody the soul of traditional music.

One of them is encouraging producers to boldly break free from their comfort zones, experiment with traditional instruments and musical materials that few others have explored, in order to create products that are deeply rooted in Vietnamese culture.
