composed by:
Laila(Chin-Hui) Fan: Soundscape - bamboo forest field recording
Wuan-chin Li (Sandra Tavali): Piano and Computer generated sound
The music was inspired by a Qing dynasty poet Zheng Xie’s poem work- “Bamboo”: 一節復一節,千枝攢萬葉;我自不開花,免撩蜂與蝶。 English translation: A day after day, thousands of branches to save leaves; since I do not blossom, free up bee and butterfly. The composer Wuan-chin Li (Sandra Tavali) visited 2016 klingt gut! International Symposium on Sound, when she, for the first time, was impressed by the beautiful sound and field recoding works she learned in this conference. After she came back to Taiwan, she invited a local field recoding- soundscape artist Laila (Chin-Hui) Fan to complete this work - "Wind And the Dancing Bamboos". Both artists hope this collaboration will bring the great ideas of contemporary computer music composition and soundscape work together successfully.
