#1300 — Guzheng raga 1 古筝拉格一号
About this episode
Wu Fei shares a Guzheng improvisation inspired by various musical traditions.
Good morning, afternoon, and evening, I just recorded this Guzheng improvisation in my Nashville studio. It’s nearly 10pm here. Sometimes night time is perfect to clear my brain and unleash the stress from the daytime. Tonight was the night. I’m a big fan of music from India, the Middle East and Central Asia, especially their string instruments and the structure of their compositions. This improvisation is very much inspired by their shared ways of phrasing and breathing—in flowing the music out in one take. It is utterly satisfying to play like this - 太过瘾了。 Wu Fei 吴非 Wufeimusic.om Wufeimusic.bandcamp.com This is a public episode.
