Gaze

As I spend more time with myself and being eight thousand miles away from home, I got rid of some old habits and adopted some new perspectives. It's safe to say, for the first time in our generation, we're collectively living in an age of uncertainty. The global slow down and pause in travel has allowed for me to take time to truly reflect. And so this project has served as a log of emotions and feelings during this time, a testimony of my growth, coping and healing.

Growth takes a lot of patience and reflection. The healing process can often be painful too. As RZA once quoted from The Bhagavad Gita, ‘contemplation with yourself will take you further than prayer, and verbalising (that contemplation) out loud makes it even more powerful.’ 

This 5-track instrumental EP 'Lately' which can also mean 'one direction' by its Chinese translation (一向，Yī Xiàng), is a collage of ideas written between 2018 to 2020. 

Written in a time of, both personal and global, desperation and confrontation, this body of work is not only an effort to consolidate musical energies and travelling ambisonics but also a love letter to family and 'home'.

當我遠離家鄉，有更多的時間和自己相處時，我擺脫了一些舊的習慣，並接受了一些新的觀點。可以肯定地說，我們這一代人首次共同面對和生活在一個充滿不確定性的時代，因爲疫情而導致的全球發展放緩和旅行停滯，讓我真正迎來了自我反思。所以這張 EP 成爲了這段時間情緒和感受的記錄，是我成長、應對和療愈的見證。

成長需要很大耐心和不斷地自省，療愈的過程通常也很痛苦。正如 RZA 曾經從印度的《薄伽梵歌》中引用的句子, "contemplation with yourself will take you further than prayer, and verbalizing (that contemplation) out loud makes it even more powerful."（與自己一同沈思比祈禱更能讓你走得更遠，而大聲說出來會讓它更有力量。）...

這張EP收錄了5首單曲，EP 名稱《Lately》的中文譯名爲「一向，Yī Xiàng」，也有「一個方向」的意思，是我從 2018 年至 2020 年間創作的想法拼貼。

寫于一個無論個人還是全球都充滿著絕望和對抗的時代，這部作品不僅是爲了合並音樂的能量和旅行氛圍的努力，也是寫給家人和「家」的一封情書。

一向。LATELY

《醉酒艺术家》

这首歌是以一个喝醉酒的人的视角去表现的歌曲，曲风当然还是最钟爱的传统R&B，歌词内容就是一个喝醉的人调皮的调侃自己的前任，和做音乐的朋友们都认为这首是属于自己最喜欢但是大众不一定喜欢的类型，但是管他呢，一个音乐人勿忘初心的做出了一首自己喜爱的音乐，这不就是音乐带给一个人的快乐吗？就像之前开玩笑说的，我好像没有拿着枪指着你的头逼你来听我的音乐，所以为什么要自找没趣的听着不喜欢的音乐，还要费神的敲打键盘表达不满呢，斯德哥尔摩综合症？哈哈哈 

我和Delf依然想表达的理念就是，中国人也有属于自己真正的R&B音乐。

DRUNKEN LOVE《醉酒艺术家》- Lil Akin (Prod. Delf.)

Following on the successes of his initial collection of 30 days challenge last year, Delf wanted to hit the ground running in 2019, upping the ante by producing complete tracks during his second 30-day batch and involving the work of visual artists from within the talented MAEKAN community.

As it turned out, photographer and community member Christina Choi had the perfect series of shots themed around clouds and drawn from her IG feed to match with Delf’s nostalgic, uplifting tracks. A frequent shooter for many of our stories, she shot the photos for our story on Chinatown Market and most recently, for our feature on Mike Shinoda.

Together, the music producer and photographer are proud to present a soaring collection of five audiovisual pairs known as the “Above the Clouds EP.”

01 - Exponentia

Beat 28 - Smile Back Feat. JNYbeatz

Beat 2 - In Between Us

Beat 1 - You Gave Me

Beat 0 -  Is It Goodbye
