服务《Service》这张专辑开始于2013年。
有天我收到了一封邮件，来自华山唱片公司创办人Raphael Valensi发来的。  他邀请我去上海演出和录音。几个星期以后我坐火车到上海，那天晚上的演出有：噪音电子Huashan Unit 还有DJ Drunk Munk。我们一同在Shelter演出。然后第二天开始录音。那大部分音乐都是在火车上写的所以录音的时候比较新鲜的感觉。一共录完了两首歌，还有六首remix；都是来自上海的音乐人做的。

第一首歌叫《奇怪的地方》。这首歌的歌词是关于我理解的一个漫画。他是北京艺术家岳明的一幅作品。这首音乐里有波萨诺瓦和加麦兰音乐的采样，还有贝斯和琵琶。
第二首歌家《少》。 这首歌是关于尊重别人，与他人友好共建和谐美好交通遵守模式。这首歌里有琵琶和贝斯，还有电子节奏，合成器旋律和改编的韩国流行音乐人声。 


thruoutin - Service
In its earliest infancy the release Service started one afternoon in 2013 when I received an email from Huashan Records founder, Raphael Valensi.  He invited me to come down to Shanghai and play a monthly series called  “Let’s get Naked and Listen to a Bunch of Drones”. While there he offered to record a couple songs of my own.  A few weeks later got on a train and performed at Shelter that night with his tech noise group, Huashan Unit and DJ Drunk Monk.  The next day we began recording in his home studio.  The majority of the content was written while on the train so everything was still quite fresh when we went to record.  We did two songs in total with six remixes which were all done by Shanghai based artists.
   
The first track Qiguai de difang, is a loose interpretation of a comic by Beijing visual artist, Yue Ming.  Here an individual is met by a delivery man on a cold and windy afternoon at a bizarre beach.  The music revolves around boss nova and gamelan samples with pipa and bass guitar.  The second song Shao has a few verses that rotate over and over about personal respect, satisfaction and modes of transportation.  The pipa and bass guitar combo return and are met by beats, synths and manipulated k-pop vocals.

Seon Ga (Cantonese for homing pigeon) is a Guangzhou-Beijing-based duo comprised of producers Yu Hein and thruoutin. The two began collaborating on the project after meeting in 2021 in Guangzhou. Despite coming from different backgrounds and musical tastes, they are both heavily influenced by ambient and drone music. They decided to work on a single piece of music that evolved into eight distinct tracks. Their name references the creative process in which they produced the material. Not living in the same city, they kept in contact via WeChat, sharing ideas from afar, much how carrier pigeons were used to send messages between infantry forces during WW1.
