#1296 — Rain halo 白雨环
About this episode
Wu Fei shares a three-track guzheng piece inspired by the beauty of flowers during a rainy day in Nashville.
Good morning, afternoon, and evening, I composed and recorded this three-track guzheng piece today while it was raining outside in Nashville. It was inspired by the white Haas Halo blooms wild in the west Nashville forest (photo above by me). It fascinates me that the lace-capped blooms and the white flowers are one plant. Each white “petal” is actually a sepal. They look elegant yet can stand through rain, holding droplets like tiny glass bells. I have seen a similar kind of flower in purple-pink on the Atlantic coast of the Basque Country in Spain. How amazing that these cousin plants are completely identical even though they’re separated by a vast ocean. Hope this piece brings you a moment of joy!
