about

七賢塔 Qi-Xian-Ta
亦可称為七座時間之塔。

概念:
這張唱片大部分音樂創作於2022年上半年的上海。工作和睡眠成為一種內在的循環。外界混亂,卻迫使我回歸我的內心,闲散中去聆聽自己。這些音樂就像屋內繚繞的熏香,像緩慢生長的植物那樣自己長出來。我當時並不想給這些音樂任何定義。當它們完整的呈現在我眼前的時候,卻暗示出一種關於時間的符號,每一段音樂彼此相連起伏而完整,就像一個人的生命的不同階段一樣。七座時間之塔由此而來。

關於聲音和製作:
從去年開始,對原聲樂器所具有的靈活,豐富自然的可能性越來越感興趣。取代以往Mobius, Far Infinity兩個音樂項目在電子音樂中創作中,對於常用的合成器和鼓機等設備的依賴, 七賢塔 這張唱片在民間音樂和西方古典樂器中尋找靈感,在家里工作室錄音了Tabla,Udu,Bansuri, 單簧管,小號等打擊樂,管樂等原聲樂器。在各種樂器的實驗之外,仍然保持了樸素的音樂性。每個章節自成一章但是又有一個完整而連貫的情緒走向線索。貫穿整段的長音形成一個固定的軸心,所有聲音元素在圍著這個軸心旋轉。

Concept:
Qi-Xian-Ta means tower of seven sages.seven music chapters use to symbolize the cycles and layers of time and life rebirth.
Most of the music for this record was created in Shanghai in the first half of 2022. Work and sleep become an inner cycle. The chaos on the outside forced me to return to my heart, to listen to myself. The music is like the incense that lingers in the house, growing on its own like a slow-growing plant. I didn't want to define any of these music at the time. When they are fully presented in front of my eyes, they suggest a kind of symbol of time. Each piece of music is connected to each other and is complete, just like different stages of a person's life. This is where the seven towers of time come from.

About Sound and Production:
Since last year, I'm growing interest in the flexibility variations, rich emotional and organic possibilities that acoustic instruments have. instead the previous two music projects of Mobius and Far Infinity in the creation of electronic music, relying on commonly used synthesizers and drum machines and other hardware equipments, Qi-Xian-Ta got inspiration in Ethnic music, include Tabla, Bansuri, clarinet, trumpet and other percussion and wind instruments. Aside from experimentation with various instruments, Each chapter is self-contained but also has a complete and coherent emotional thread. The drone sound running through the entire section form a fixed axis around which all sound objects surrounded.
