#1032 — Riohacha night song 里奥阿查仲夏夜

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

#1031 — Fruit ladies of Cartagena 卡塔赫纳坚果

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 |

2024/08/19

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

2024/07/29

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

#1025 — Humming the waltz 小小鸟, 静悄悄

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.

Wu Fei"s Music Daily ·

2024/07/24

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. Starting from July 31, I

#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

#1020 — Morning with the mountain mint 晨曦山薄荷

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

2024/07/18

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. You can hear my joy in this track :) Hope this piece brings you joy too! Wu Fei 吴非Wufeimusic.com | hellogoldmountain.com | wufeimusic.substack.com This is a public episode.

#1016 — Guzheng night song 82 古筝夜曲第八十二号

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

#1015 — Sweet budding 蜜果无穷

Wu Fei"s Music Daily ·

2024/07/12

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.

#1010 — Love peas 相思

Wu Fei"s Music Daily ·

2024/07/05

Hi everyone, I just recorded this solo guzheng improvisation today. It is a nostalgic season for me. So I wrote down one of my favorite poems written by Wang Wei 王維 (699 - 761 A.D.) of the Tang Dynasty (photo below). The English translation is: In the southern lands grow love peas,With spring new branches vegetate well. You may pick some more their red beans,For my ardent yearning they can best tell. Hope this song brings old sweet memories back to you and your loved ones. Wu Fei 吴非Wufeimusic.com |

#1007 — A lover from the past 昔日情人

Wu Fei"s Music Daily ·

2024/07/02

Hi everyone, Yesterday, I went to the park for a walk. A big red-spotted purple butterfly landed in front of me on the trail. It was surprisingly brave not flying away when I stepped closer. It was flapping its gorgeous wings for about a minute as if it was waiting for me to take photos. I had to accept the invitation :) Three older ladies walked by and saw my moment with the butterfly. I told them what happened. One of ladies told me that it must be my lover from the past life. I came home thinking

Wu Fei"s Music Daily ·

2024/07/01

Hi everyone, This three-track guzheng composition was composed and recorded yesterday inspired by the gorgeous sunset we had in Nashville two days ago (photo below). I was picking wild blackberries with my children in the forest after dinner. The white bowl I was holding to put the blackberries in turned orange. I looked up and saw the sky was on fire. We were stunned by this scene. Hope this piece brings you joy! Wu Fei 吴非Wufeimusic.com | hellogoldmountain.com | wufeimusic.substack.com This is a

Wu Fei"s Music Daily ·

2024/06/24

Hi everyone, I recorded this guzheng improvisation yesterday during a thunder storm. The piece starts with the sound of the pouring rain outside of my home studio in Nashville. A few thunder strikes also made it to the track. I ended the piece with the fading rain. Hope this track brings you strong and soothing energy altogether.

2024/06/17

Hi everyone, This morning’s guzheng song was recorded yesterday, named after the American bellflower (photo below). During a hike in Edwin Warner Park in Nashville, I saw many American bellflowers along the hiking trails. The bellflower is an annual or biennial native wildflower that likes wet and humid places in shady areas of eastern North America. The bellflower is a pollinator magnet: many species of bees, wasps, butterflies, and hummingbirds like their nectar and pollen. Hope this piece starts

2024/06/14

Hi everyone, This upbeat étude was recorded yesterday on two-track guzheng. I spotted a big wild turkey’s feather on my hike in west Nashville. It looked very firm and fresh (photo below). I wondered if there had a fight in the middle of the forest among two wild turkeys. I often see wild turkeys near my home. They used to fly away as soon as they heard me. The last two days, I saw two turkeys walking on my driveway without fleeing after they saw me. Maybe they know that this human being won’t hurt

Wu Fei"s Music Daily ·

2024/06/10

Hi everyone, Today is the Dragon Boat Festival (Duanwu Jie in Chinese: 端午節). The holiday which falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunisolar calendar. There are several stories about the origins of the festival, but the most widely-told is that it commemorates Qu Yuan 屈原, a patriotic poet and minister of the kingdom of Chu during the Warring States period (475-221 BCE). Qu Yuan was a loyal advisor to the king, but he was slandered by other officials and exiled by the king.In
