1229 Wu Fei’s Music Daily — Zebra grin 斑马笑 Today’s piece was recorded on 4-track guzheng. The inspiration came from a safari trip in South Africa 15 years ago. I was fascinated by the wild animals that we passed by, especially the goofy & cute zebras. wufeimusic.substack.com/p/12…

I was fascinated by the wild animals that we passed by, especially the goofy and cute zebras. They were the most friendly to us, unlike the rhinos or the elephants. We got chased by them on 2 separate occasions. Scary. How much I miss Africa! Hope this piece brings you joy.

calm between my A’s and the constant B flat from the air conditioning in the background. Now, I’m pretty sure that whoever designed the electrical system in the U.S. must be a clarinet player :D

#1224 Wu Fei’s Music Daily — Think again 三思 In the world of AI, making mistakes has become more valuable. At least it is real. I took this photo yesterday near my home in Nashville. The colors are so intense under the sun that it looks almost like an wufeimusic.substack.com/p/12…

oil painting. I used overtones on the #guzheng in the piece. Because it’s multi-tracked, sometimes my plucking doesn’t line up perfectly. I used to think it’s a flaw for recorded music. Not any more. It’s probably hard to fake mistakes. Hope this song can massage your ear drums.
