#529 — A belated waltz 迟到的华尔兹

2022/03/07

Hi everyone,Thank you for subscribing to Wu Fei’s Music Daily. This is episode #529 — A belated waltz 迟到的华尔兹. This composition was created and recorded yesterday on multitrack and partly prepared guzheng, performed by me. I put two key chain rings on two strings to prepare the bell-like sound from the strings. The difference of the timbres create a sensation of an off-beat delay in the 3/4 time signature. It was a fun experiment. Maybe it’s all in my head :) Hope it brings you a moment of freshness

Hi everyone,Thank you for subscribing to Wu Fei’s Music Daily. This is episode #528 — Six echoes 六声轮. This piece was created and recorded yesterday on guzheng and vocal, performed by me.

Hi everyone,Thank you for subscribing to Wu Fei’s Music Daily. This is episode #523 — Charging the silk 蚕丝阵.This guzheng etude was composed and recorded yesterday, performed by me.
