“neutra”l is a compilation of my modular recordings from last year. In this piece, I intentionally preserved some roughness and imperfections while maintaining a sense of musical balance within incompleteness. These traces of instability are not flaws, but the inherent trajectory and tension of the sound itself.
“neutral” was originally premiered on BAIHUI’s 到此一游 (DCYY) radio show. Please check out their website and support the electronic music scene in China:
“We could say that this hour is not ambient music in the traditional sense of being ‘pleasant’ or ‘soothing.’ It is more like an exploration in anticipation of change — a space where one can momentarily let go of music’s usual functions. There is no need for it to convey emotions or adhere to reason; instead, it allows imperfections and dissonance to surface. Like a beatless water surface where sonic blossoms occasionally emerge, it invites us to follow the sound’s own course — just as we learn to accept ourselves, finding form within imbalance.”
