2024/10/09

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.

#1038 — Mandarin duck lake 司马鸳鸯湖

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,How have you all been? I have missed you. Thank you for being so patient with me. A special thank to the new paid subscribers while I was on leave from Substack.

2024/08/28

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

Wu Fei"s Music Daily ·

2024/08/26

Hi everyone,I recorded this guzheng night song reconnecting to the night I played a concert in Riohacha two weeks ago. Riohacha is a city in northern Colombia, where the Ranchería River meets the Caribbean Sea. It’s known for its native Wayúu people and for the colorful birds in the Flamingo Sanctuary southwest of the city. Central Padilla Square is home to 19th-century Cathedral of Our Lady of the Remedies, where I gave my solo concert at (photo below). This concert was free to public. My friend

Wu Fei"s Music Daily ·

2024/08/23

Hi everyone, This three-track guzheng composition was created and recorded yesterday, inspired by my visit earlier this month in the historical city of Cartagena in Colombia. Strolling in the colorful and narrow streets of Cartagena on a steamy lady afternoon felt like being in an old movie (photo below). Every site I looked at was a song, a story, a book to me. May this piece bring an old or a new love story to your dream tonight. Wu Fei 吴非 Wufeimusic.com | hellogoldmountain.com |

Hola everyone,How have you all been? Hope you all have had a fun and restful summer or winter break! I just got back home to Nashville from a tour in Colombia. It was my first visit to the South American continent ever. Before I went, I had zero idea what to expect. All I really knew about Colombia were two famous Colombian soccer stars from the 1990s from watching the World Cup on Chinese television. Everything I experienced in Colombia over-exceeded my expectations. I fell in love with the

Good morning everyone,I just recorded this morning improvisation on solo guzheng inspired by the beautiful beach spider lily (photo below). Yesterday, I had a four-hour hike in the Montgomery Bell State Park in Tennessee where I saw these delicate flowers. The beach spider lily is native to warmer coastal regions of Latin America, Southeastern U.S. and a widely cultivated and naturalized plant in many tropical countries. As I am preparing for my first South America tour, the beach spider lily is a

Wu Fei"s Music Daily ·

2024/07/26

Hi everyone, This two-track guzheng waltz was composed and recorded today during a rainy day. Earlier, the sweet humming bird was drinking the sugar water from the feeder. It is always meditative for me to watch them come and go as if they dance a waltz in the air. Hope this piece brings a moment of calmness into your weekend!Wu Fei 吴非 Wufeimusic.com | hellogoldmountain.com | wufeimusic.substack.com This is a public episode.

Hi everyone, I composed and recorded this new song with voice and on the valiha yesterday. The valiha is a traditional 21-string tube zither from Madagascar (photo below). I want to thank my dear friends Tasha and David for bringing me this beautiful gift from Madagascar to Nashville, Tennessee. Playing it makes me miss Africa and the Indian Ocean, where I have spent some very happy times. I will be sending out newsletters to all my free subscribers for the next a few days.

#1021 — A five-lined tale 石子玲龙

Wu Fei"s Music Daily ·

2024/07/22

Hi everyone, I recorded this solo guzheng improvisation yesterday. It is named after this elegant southeastern five-lined skink (photo below) that I saw during my hike in west Nashville. Southeastern five-lined skinks have five characteristic narrow stripes along their bodies that become lighter with age. The middle stripe tends to be narrower than the others, and the dark areas between stripes are black in young skinks but become brown with age. The one I encountered must be an older skink. Its

Wu Fei"s Music Daily ·

2024/07/19

Hi everyone, This guzheng improvisation was recorded yesterday. I named the piece after encountering the mountain mint in Edwin Warner Park in Nashville (photo below). Other common names included wild basil or hoary basil. It is a herbaceous perennial in the mint family. The plant is widespread across Eastern United States and into Ontario, Canada. White blooms appear from July to September. Some believe that when it is crushed, the leaves emit a strong minty aroma, and are often used to flavor

Hi everyone, I composed and recorded two-track guzheng song yesterday in the middle a very hot day. Before I went into the studio, I had just finished making a promotional video for my upcoming tour Colombia. In the video, I spoke in Spanish entirely for the first time in my life.

Wu Fei"s Music Daily ·

2024/07/15

Hi everyone, I composed and recorded this three-track guzheng night song this morning. It is mostly played on open string harmonics. In physics, a harmonic is a sinusoidal wave with a frequency that is a positive integer multiple of the fundamental frequency of a periodic signal. The fundamental frequency is also called the 1st harmonic; the other harmonics are known as higher harmonics. On the guzheng, I put my left ring finger on the mid-point of a string. Then I use the right thumb to pluck the

Hi everyone, This fast étude was created and recorded on two-track guzheng yesterday. The wild blackberries are turning dark purple now all over the hills near my home in Nashville. They taste amazing (photo below). I don’t think I can ever eat store bought blackberries any more. They gave me great energy. Also, I had a great interview by Daniela Jaramillo Peña (baroque guitarist) from the world renowned Biblioteca Luis Ángel Arango Bogotá for music magazine Tempo for my upcoming South America debut

#1011 — Minuet rosepink 百金花舞

Wu Fei"s Music Daily ·

2024/07/08

Hi everyone, I composed this two-voice guzheng minuet yesterday. The wild rosepink flowers are blossoming all over the hills of west Nashville (photos below). It always amazes me how many wild flowers blossom almost all year long in middle Tennessee. That explains why I have allergy all year long. The rosepink is native to central and eastern North America. They are usually pink with occasionally white blossoms. A minuet is a social dance of French origin for two people, usually in 3/4 time.
