2024/11/18

Hi everyone, I have returned home from Louisville. Thank you for being patient with me again while I was on tour! In Louisville, I saw some dear old friends and made many new friends during the Festival of Faiths. It was an inspiring experience for me to meet festival goers who came to Louisville to connect and share their life stories in the most vulnerable way. Music helped everyone to become connected instantly whether they knew each other or not. The concert venues I played were filled with

2024/11/11

Good morning everyone, Hope you all had a restful weekend. Two days ago, I was woken up by a touch of warm air on my face in the morning. I slowly opened my eyes to seek where the warmth came from. I saw the sky full of colors outside of my window (photo below). I was overjoyed. This three-track guzheng composition is my memory of this breathtaking experience. It reminded me a poem from the Weijin period 魏晋 (220 - 420 A.D.) in China written by Zhang Xie

Hi everyone, I recorded this solo guzheng night song yesterday thinking about my children. I used to put them to bed every night singing lullabies to them when they were babies. And then, I started to play Chopin’s piano nocturnes from a music player for their bedtime. Lately, I started singing lullabies to them again. Today, I realized that I have composed and recorded many guzheng night songs for my substack. I will play these night songs for my children’s bedtime. I hope it will help them and you

Hi everyone, This three-track guzheng étude was composed and recorded yesterday. An étude or study is an instrumental musical composition, usually short, designed to provide practice material for perfecting a particular musical skill. Yesterday, my music studio was cold because I forgot to turn the heater on the night before. I needed to quickly warm my fingers up. Therefore, I came up with this piece. the beauty of the guzheng is that it can sound as light as a feather, and can sound as rough as a

Hi everyone, I have returned home from London. Thank you for your patience while I was absent from my daily music newsletter. However, each trip I make, I always come back with full of new energy and inspiration. The concerts I gave at the British Library and SOAS University of London were both mesmerizing. I met a musician / composer name Shohret Nur (photo below). He is a master on the dutar and rawap who is from a highly respected musical family in kasghar, Xinjiang. I got to hear him play his

#1058 — Poem in the sky 诗情到碧霄

Wu Fei"s Music Daily ·

2024/10/25

Hi everyone, Hope you are all enjoying a beautiful autumn if it is the season for you right now. The colors in middle Tennessee are glorious. Hiking on the top of the west Nashville hill has given me immense joy to appreciate the fall colors in all settings. It reminds me of one of the Autumn Poems by one of my favorite Tang poets - Liu Yuxi 刘禹锡 (772 - 842 AD): 自古逢秋悲寂寥，我言秋日胜春朝。晴空一鹤排云上，便引诗情到碧霄。Translation:Since ancient times, people have felt sad and lonely in autumn, but I say autumn is better than

Hi everyone, I composed and recorded this three-track guzheng piece yesterday. Experimenting with tone colors and timbres is one of my favorite things to do when I create music. I make a sound bath for my ear drums to enjoy all the mysterious “bubbles.” Hope this piece brings you the same experience.

Hi everyone, I composed this three-track guzheng waltz yesterday wondering about a mushroom that I saw in Nashville, Tennessee (photo below). I am not sure if it is a Caesar’s mushroom. I would appreciate your help identifying it. Thank you in advance!

Good morning everyone, Time is an interesting concept. When did we start using Monday to mark the beginning of another stressful cycle in human society? I would imagine it hasn’t been long compared to the existence of human civilization. Will this way of shaping our natural system last? I don’t think so even if I won’t see its end during my life time. As I embrace this artificial time, I am glad and lucky that I can connect to my eternal rhythm everyday through creating music. Why do I know this is

2024/10/11

Happy Friday everyone,I composed and recorded this multi-track guzheng étude yesterday. I did not intend to write such an intense piece. It just came out of my chest as I was warming up my fingers more. While I was creating the music, my mind jumped back to the experience when I was on a cable car coming down from the Monserrate mountain in Bogotá, Colombia in August this year. It was above 10,000 feet (3152 meters). I had hard time catching up with my breaths when I was on the top. As the cable car

Hi everyone, This solo guzheng composition was recorded yesterday. I was thinking about the gorgeous fall in the southeast of U.S. where my state of Tennessee is. It has been a heavy time for eastern Tennessee, western North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida because of the destruction of hurricane Helene. In the next 24 hours, Hurricane Milton will land on Florida. I have many friends who live in all of the affected states. When Nashville is having a perfect day, only a few hours away, towns were

2024/10/07

Hi everyone, I recorded this two-track guzheng night song yesterday. It is in the middle of the Jewish Rosh Hashanah new year celebration. I was moved and enlightened by my dear friend Rabba Daniella’s writing:“The word love comes with pain. It comes with disappointment and loss but it also comes with a deep sense of purpose and a desire to continue to bravely choose life, to continue to bring greater goodness and honor to this world and its inhabitants.”Hope this night song brings you peace.

Wu Fei"s Music Daily ·

2024/09/23

Hi everyone, I composed and recorded this four-track guzheng piece yesterday. I used a bandanna in the lower register of my guzheng to half mute the strings to have less sustained effect. No finger picks were used in this piece to have a softer sound. I was thinking of the hike I had on the Simatai Great Wall three weeks ago in Beijing, and the nearby Mandarin Duck Lake (photo below). The fog made the view look like a traditional Chinese ink painting. It was a dreamy experience for me. Hope this

Hi everyone, This solo guzheng improvisation was recorded yesterday, inspired by the amazing clouds above mountain Monserrate. I was on my way to Valledupar from Bogotá on August 7 this year. My plane was climbing through the thick clouds on top of Bogotá. I was stunned by the view from my window - the sun, the sky, the clouds and the mountain (photo below). How much I cherish these magnificent moments from traveling! Hope this piece brings you a moment of peace. This post is free to all my
