时间的缝隙 · The Gaps in Time

From three in the afternoon to two after midnight

Eight pieces. The city runs on a schedule — but there are gaps. The hour after the meeting ends, the tram ride at dusk, the corner of a bar at midnight when you're in no hurry to go anywhere. These pieces live in those gaps.

四壁

Four Walls · Sìbì

Six pieces for nylon-string guitar. The interior life — what a room holds, what walls remember, what silence carries when there is nothing left to say.

途中

Túzhōng · In Transit

Six songs from the road. Nylon-string guitar, solo and duo. The feeling of being between places — not yet arrived, no longer where you were.

Trees

Seven observations from a walk through old-growth forest. A tree that has been standing for two hundred years. The water rising through the wood. The light breaking through the canopy. The presence in ancient trees that has no name. Seven complete moments — a footstep, a color, a silence, a small wry recognition at the end.

The Mirror · Heart Sutra & Śūraṅgama Sūtra

Eight pieces drawn from the Heart Sutra and the Śūraṅgama Sūtra. Form is emptiness; emptiness is form. The mirror neither holds nor releases what appears in it.

弧光·小号

Arc Light · Trumpet

Five pieces for solo trumpet. A trumpet is just air and metal. These five pieces are very slow. There are long silences between the phrases. Nothing resolves.

日常生活微观美学

Micro-Aesthetics of Daily Life

Six pieces from the streets and forests of Northwest Seattle — coffee, cedar, afternoon light, and the green that arrives just before summer. A white-day walk, from morning inertia to stillness under the bough.

FormInstrumental · Mixed Palette

余振 · Elastic Decay

Ten pieces. One day. Dawn to closing time.

Ten pieces drawn from the archive — each a remnant of another project, each complete in itself. Together they trace a single day: a room before dawn, a morning of wood and rain, a jazz club in the afternoon, a waltz on an old street, and a bar before closing. The shelter they form is temporary. So is the vibration.

温热 · Still Warm

After the event. The warmth is still in the room.

Nine acoustic pieces about the decay phase — not the event itself, but what remains after it. A farewell, an argument, a last toast: all finished. What stays is their temperature. Still warm. Slowly cooling. Not yet gone.
