The research and outline for the next video is finished, production begins next week. My first SP404mk2 video.
It's a doozy and may very well pass two hours of runtime. It's practically a feature film's worth of work. I've been workshopping the idea since I released my last video, but I don't want to share half-baked ideas. I've rewritten the script three times after realizing the ideas were flawed or impractical.
Now I've got it down. I feel a little regret not being able to participate in the first few years of this device's zeitgeist of ideas and practices, but I'm very proud of what I'm working on now, and I'm enthralled at the idea of sharing it with you.
Bare with me as I work on it, I want to make something that'll last a decade. But I promise it's coming.
Pic unrelated. Demonstrating the SOMA Synths flux at Music China, along with doing demos for Arturia's Astrolab and Polybrute, and plenty more. Keeping busy.
Friends, I’ve released some music. My EP “Yiqiqu” 一起去 is now streaming everywhere~
I find that many musicians in my position, no matter how skilled they are or how quickly they can produce music, choose to wait to release music. They wait for the right opportunity, or to gather more fans, or are paralyzed by anxiety or fear. More often than not, they feel their music is not yet ready to be released, and that maybe next year’s work will be much better.
The reality is, this is how we let our lives pass us by. I’ve made three full albums since I was 20, and I deemed each of them too juvenile to share. Even this album has two songs I’ve not released, as I feel they’re too representational of a previous self.
With the encouragement of my loving girlfriend, my friends, fans, and my experienced manager, I’ve finally pulled the trigger and released some songs I’ve been working on.
It’s not as monumental as I’d always thought, so I feel nothing will stop me from regularly releasing music now.
“Yiqiqu” 一起去 is a set of four songs, with the theme of going along a path, either alone or with someone you love. It's a little Microhouse, a little ambient, and plenty of traditional chinese instruments.
I hope you enjoy. I will follow this release with a series of meditation music and longform 氛围音乐 ambient music.
Finally! After years and years, I've managed to get my music out in the world. My first single, "Somnolent," is available on all platforms via Paradise Worldwide. EP coming next month.
A little microhouse, ambient 中国风, a few synth solos and the first recorded electric guzheng solo. I've been playing this song live for two years and it's really nice to get it recorded, so I can share with everyone.
Let's gooo! My very first show in the USA as Yukes玉刻. I'll be playing this Friday at the Perelman Performing Arts center using the Aerophone, four traditional chinese instruments and my MASCHINE performance setup. Live-looping! Hope to see you there!

8,000 words into the script for my next video essay. It'll be a doozy, though it's a while off.

YES! I've dreamed of being a product specialist at NAMM for the past decade, and now it's finally coming true.
I'll be representing Jinyun instruments and showcasing China's first all-electric guzheng at @thenammshow 2024 in Anaheim.
I really hope to see my friends and colleagues there.
