Dedicate to CMMAS 10th anniversary
(1:04, Video and fix media, 2016)
In the year 2012 summer, I had a chance to visit Mexico since my very early electroacoustic piece “Nei Lau” (Moribund-彌留) was featured by FORO international music festival in Mexico City. Thanks for the “Nei Lau”; I had an opportunity to study the summer workshop in CMMAS, too. I spent one of the best moments in my life in Morelia and I would say it is a milestone in my life.
Time flies, after 4 years, I stay in Czech Republic to continue my career; nonetheless, I do flashback my beautiful moments at CMMAS from time to time. CMMAS means really a lot to me. I’ve met a lot of amazing mentors, artist and scholars there! It somehow shaped my current musicianship and style. Thanks a lot to Dr. Rodrigo Sigal and CMMAS, happy birthday to your first decade!
This piece I made use of audio materials, which I recorded from Mexico with my portable recorder in the year 2012 during my visit; Also, I applied some materials from “Nei Lau” to expressive my flashback and hybrid memories. Morelia is an energetic, sunny and mixed with contemporary and classical art city for me; therefore, I decided to combine concrete and abstract visual elements and several colours skims for the video.
