about

The idea of this album was formed in my head when I was reading Stanislaw Lem’s mysterious book SOLARIS. Especially, these sentences on the very last page inspired me a lot:

“We all know that we are material creatures, subject to the laws of physiology and physics, and not even the power of all our feelings combined can defeat those laws. All we can do is detest them. The age-old faith of lovers and poets in the power of love, stronger than death, that finis vitae sed non amoris, is a lie, useless and not even funny. So must one be resigned to being a clock that measures the passage of time, now out of order, now repaired, and whose mechanism generates despair and love as soon as its maker sets it going? Are we to grow used to the idea that every man relives ancient torments, which are all the more profound because they grow comic with repetition? That human existence should repeat itself, well and good, but that it should repeat itself like a hackneyed tune, or a record a drunkard keeps playing as he feeds coins into the jukebox…”

In fact, this album starts with “a record a drunkard keeps playing as he feeds coins into the jukebox” and then becomes the imagination of the past and future of the universe. I want this album can be grand like a film score, but also can be seen as a personal narration, which conveys my thoughts about the human beings, the world, the cosmos, and of course, myself.

Hope you enjoy it.
