2021/03/29

Hi everyone,Thank you for subscribing to Wu Fei’s Music Daily! This is the 294th episode — Sparkling terraces. This piece was composed and recorded yesterday on two guzhengs single track. I continue to explore the multi-tonality and multi-timbre within one composition in one take of performance. It is an exiting learning process for my brain and my fingers to play two guzhengs at the same time. After recording this piece, I took a hike on the sunny hills. We had a big storm last night in Nashville

Therefore, the lowest register is muted when the mid-range is amplified with pitch/tone color changed. The highest register is
