#1260 — Black horse 黑马

Wu Fei"s Music Daily ·

2026/02/13

Good morning, afternoon, evening, I am floored by the letterpress design by Filipino American artist Heather Moulder. She made the concert poster for my upcoming concert this Sunday. Today’s four-track guzheng piece was inspired by her work (photo below). Her website is: https://www.lordymercy.com/On Sunday, Heather will be onsite in the lobby of Ingram Hall to give out posters, and she’ll have about 80 incomplete copies for folks to try their hand at printing. I’m deeply moved by the tremendous

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, I had a rehearsal with talented friends Reza Filsoofi (Persian setar) & Larissa Maestro (cello) both Nashville based.Little Tree is composed by me. It’s my first time to do this trio version. I’m so excited! So many trees fell and broke down during the recent ice storm in Nashville.

#1259 — Beneath the same sun 归来见晴日，闻香松

Wu Fei"s Music Daily ·

2026/02/09

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, Today, I finally resumed my daily practice and recording after the two-week disruption from Nashville’s ice storm. This solo guzheng piece is inspired by two pictures of the same pair of pine trees in my front yard—one taken during the storm, the trees broken and shrouded in ice and snow, and another from today, sunny and restored to normal. The air is full of the fragrance of the broken pine branches. In playing, I felt a deep appreciation for being home again,

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, Today, I had a wonderful meeting with a dear friend and musicologist, Professor Isidoira Miranda of Vanderbilt University’s Blair School of Music, and the production team at Ingram Hall to prepare for my upcoming concert on February 15th.I also got to watch the jazz students’ rehearsal led by Professor Ryan Middagh, the director of Jazz Studies at Blair.

#1256 — Thirty-mile village 三十里铺的回音壁

Wu Fei"s Music Daily ·

2026/01/20

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, I recorded this Chinese folk song today. It’s called “Thirty-mile Village” (三十里铺) from Shaanxi province—a well-known love song in China. I’ve known it since elementary school. My parents used to sing it a lot at home, and my father would change the lyrics to sound funny. We laughed so much whenever everyone sang together in our house. I’ve always thought the world would be a much nicer place if we all communicated through singing :) Imagine arguing through

#1255 — Frozen gongs 艳阳指尖, 冰封的锣

Wu Fei"s Music Daily ·

2026/01/16

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, I recorded this two-track piece for prepared guzheng today, thinking of my hike next to a frozen creek this morning. I tapped my fingers on the ice: some parts sounded like a deep drum, others like gongs. I can imagine playing this piece with other string players, percussionists, and electronic musicians at Colorado’s Red Rock Amphitheater under the Milky Way—for hours and hours.Wu Fei 吴非Wufeimusic.com This is a public episode.

#1253 — Twenty one bridges 时代雁柱

Wu Fei"s Music Daily ·

2026/01/12

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, I have returned to my quiet Nashville home from a whirlwind and productive trip to New York City, where I gave a showcase performance two days ago. My guzheng made me feel grounded even from the 25th floor up in the air during my stay in the heart of Times Square (photo below). I got to see old friends and made new friends during the APAP conference for the performing arts industry. I am very grateful to my management, Halac Artists, for making it happen. Wu Fei

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, Today’s solo guzheng piece is a tribute to my first solfège and ear training teacher—Professor Sun Hong (孙虹). She passed away yesterday in Beijing at the age of 90.When I was five, I began attending the weekend solfège and ear training program at the China Conservatory of Music. I was placed in Professor Sun’s class, where I remained for the next six years, throughout my entire elementary school education.Professor Sun taught many prominent individuals who have

#1248 — Peace after the holiday 松, 松, 再松

Wu Fei"s Music Daily ·

2025/12/29

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, I just read a post on social media before I recorded this three-track guzheng piece today:“Asked the guy on the airplane if he’d switch seats since I was flying with my family. He refused. So I had to sit with my family.” -buechlersteven on Thread. Hope this song brings you calmness from all the stress you’ve been through during the holiday season.

2025/12/19

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, First of all, thank you all for another year of supporting my music! It’s not the end of the year yet, but I just want to share my gratitude to you - old listeners from the beginning of my Substack (started in May 2020) and new paid supporters today. Sometimes when we feel powerless towards the world’s craziness, music can be medicine for our heart. I hope my music daily can be a place where you can rest your heart for a moment from whatever the darkness you are

2025/12/15

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, I’ve missed you all. Last week’s concert at Bellevue College was wonderful! I’m especially grateful for the hospitality of Professor Naeim Rahmani, who leads the college’s International Guitar Series. Before I arrived, he arranged for a beautiful guzheng from the Seattle Guzheng Studio to be delivered to my hotel room so I could have plenty of time to warm up. To close the concert, I had the pleasure of performing with the Bellevue College String Ensemble under

#1241 — A bending story 声声折折, 腔韵韵

Wu Fei"s Music Daily ·

2025/12/08

Good morning, afternoon, and evening,In today’s solo guzheng improvisation, I focused on using the traditional bending technique with my left hand. Bending the strings on the left side of the bridges is a signature sound in much of the classic guzheng repertoire. When these bent pitches form melodies, they sounds like many local Chinese dialects to my ears. There are old stories held within the resonance of each bent note.Soon, I’ll be traveling to Seattle to perform at the Bellevue College

#1239 — Archery of the guzheng 弹琴如弹弓(video)

Wu Fei"s Music Daily ·

2025/12/03

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, I had fun making my first multi-window and multi-track video today! I’m not sure if it was luck, but the audio from the different tracks actually matched up. I did listen to the metronome click from GarageBand through my headphones, though it’s not always guaranteed that everything will line up perfectly. I just went with the flow and followed the click as closely as I could—though sometimes, when the click faded, I had to count silently in my head.This was

Wu Fei"s Music Daily ·

2025/12/01

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, This two-track guzheng piece begins with the sound of birds chirping in the forest. It has been a peaceful Thanksgiving holiday for me. I hope yours hasn’t been too stressful if you had to travel. Getting from place to place has become less pleasant with more flight delays and cancellations.I walked up the hill near my home in Nashville. The view of downtown (photo below) looks to me like a sheet music in the sky to me — a notation for a song that could only be

2025/11/18

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, I took a walk on the hills of West Nashville today. Leaves were blowing off the trees and dancing in the wind. It made me want to write music. Hope this multitrack high energy guzheng piece brings you some autumn attitude. Wu Fei 吴非Wufeimusic.com This is a public episode.
