hmmm... i forget what title we have decided for our album.
i'm sitting in the same room we recorded it right now. the walls, the ceiling and the electricity and the neighbors are still
the same.
i'm listening to prince paul right now. no. i'm not really listening but just half listening. my attention is like waves up
and down and twisting with it and these text i'm writing and so on.
the neighbors... no, they are changing. no more decoration from upstairs these days. no piano today. is this room still the
same? and, so, am i the same?
when i listen to this room or listen to our music i feel like i'm listening to a part of myself. for sure we observe ourselves
from time to time. it's good for us. as when we recorded it we were building ourselves.
yizhou is in tokyo right now. sound check before a concert at forest limit, a place i have played at a few years ago. is
this venue still the same? people might say hmmm not exactly you know this and that is different and the vibes are
constantly flowing... the bass is waving. the room is waving in a musical way and it's very unusual. i haven't play any
musical music in this room for long time. why should i play that if i hear everything perfect already from this broken
twisted chaos world? so why not if musical music is part of this ever-flowing unknow order?
as it's always we stand at the first place of our birth. and we are not really stand. instead we wave in and out the walls.

嘿,啊…不如我的部分就不需要翻译了吧。
现在正在飞机上,刚刚睡醒。在这之前我喝了两杯嗨棒,准确来说是⼀杯半,为了过安检扔掉了,有点伤⼼。
我坐的是越南航空的⼩型飞机,空乘员每⼈带⼀顶红⾊贝雷帽。都有⼀种互为同志的坚定,和不耐烦。我从没
见她们笑过。说着完全听不懂的语⾔。“这槽糕的世界!我为什么要在这⾥!⽽不是在家躺着!“对啊,为什么
不呢。很有可能只是我在胡思乱想。
我明天就在河内有场演出,现在飞机⾥还挺冷的,但出去可能就是地狱。空乘们裏好了外⾐,飞机上不提供⽑
毯。我希望我明天演的热⼀点,热情似⽕。
对了,我和颜峻表演过许多次线性⼆重奏,有⼀次就是在北京去往成都的飞机上。颜峻没有出声,我⽤
17000kz以上的正弦波。所以有可能是脑电波和正弦波的轮流合作。包括这张专辑⾥也有这⼀部分。
坐飞机的时差使我多了两个⼩时,是倒退吗?还是追逐?现在飞机在降落,晃动。我可能快去地狱了。我的⽿
朵受到⽓压影响,左⽿和右⽿都不太⼀样,有点疼。⼈本来就是不对称的,时间也是。没有左右,没有⽅向,
只是⼀种不规则的运动。
