about

Like many kids, I like to breed singing insects in my childhood. I self-taught wind instruments. One of my personal learning methods is to observe ways of singing of insects. Of course, this is not a simple imitation. For me, the vibration of tube reed is no different from the flapping of singing insects. From this perspective, all the insects are my teachers. I name all the tracks collected in this album after “vibration practice” to show my learning from these insects, in addition to some of my field recordings of singing insects.
