This is a standalone piece in storytelling way by two co-hosts and one interviewee, and aims to explore Chinese traditional musical culture and ancient philosophy in an entertaining way. The whole content will draw on the personal life experiences of our interviewee-the Qin master Yao Wang and some of the positive spirits that Guqin music experiences to bring relaxation and comfort to people of different ages, especially for the elderly generations who are or were facing life confusion and difficulties. 

The teacher’s life experience is unique and powerful. He was an excellent Western piano player before he became a professional Guqin inheritor. He was attracted to the unique sound and knowledge of Guqin and the culture encompassed in its study, and he progressively found his future direction and meaning.

The cool air and changing colors of autumn herald the time of harvest for a small village.

Another Guqin diddy. I actually made this and practiced transcribing it. It's a bit rough between all parts but with a metronome and some practice I'll have it down.

Autumn Harvest (wip)

This short ABAB song is a 2nd year assignment, taking the theme song, "无畏“ (Fearless) by Ma Di from the drama series "Go Ahead", as a reference or model track.

Windflow Lights & Patros15 & Lumya - Heaven

Four months in to learning guqin, and I sort of know a full song - and it's the song that first inspired me to begin learning guqin. Lots of work to go, but... getting there. I'm alternating between this, Yangguan Pass, and Guanshan Yue as my first three pieces I'm learning. A few little mistakes here and there, which I'm sure will straighten out the more I get used to it and stop muting the strings by accident. But it's all about the slow progress.

Playing this one in particular always makes me feel so tranquil, if a little melancholy. Suppose that's the idea of the song, considering who it's about.

Second version of the composition 
El mar (The sea).
New arrangement, 2024.

El Mar (2024 Version)

Zha Fuxi (Chinese: 查阜西; 1895–1976) on qin (and unidentified flute player on reel 3) recorded circa 1945. 

Zha Fuxi (Chinese: 查阜西; 1895–1976), also known as Zha Yiping (查夷平) was a leading player and scholar of the guqin. Born in Jiangxi, he started learning guqin in his childhood. In 1936, he co-founded the Jinyu Qin Society (今虞琴社) which later became one of the major national musical organizations for the guqin. In addition, he was a vice-chairman of the National Musical Association of China, president of the Beijing Guqin Society, and a department head at the Central Institute of (Folk) Music. In 1945, he came to the United States and made a few recordings of his music at the Library of Congress, including those heard here. 

Apart from his profession on guqin, he worked for the civil aviation company and was active in the labour movement. After the People's Republic of China was established in 1949, he was a vice-chairman of the National Musical Association, president of the Beijing Guqin Society, and a department head at the Central Institute of (Folk) Music.

Few recordings of his qin performance have been published, though more remain in private and institutional circulation. His playing style was unaffected but serious and elegant; he specialized in qin songs (accompanying himself vocally) and contributed several noteworthy dapu reconstructions, as well as earning the nickname "Zha Xiaoxiang" for his mastery of the piece Xiao Xiang Shui Yun.

"Blossoms in the Breeze" is a gentle instrumental track that transports you to a serene traditional Chinese garden. The melody, featuring the soothing sounds of Guqin, Erhu, Pipa, Xiao, and Dizi, flows like a gentle breeze through blooming cherry blossom trees. Each note captures the essence of spring, as delicate petals drift lazily over a tranquil pond, creating an atmosphere of peace and reflection. This track is perfect for moments of meditation, relaxation, or simply unwinding to the harmonious sounds of nature. Let the soft melodies guide you to a place of calm and quiet beauty.

Blossoms in the Breeze: A Calm Traditional Chinese Melody

there is nothing more beautiful in this world
than a heart which is free and pure
abiding in harmony
with the very source of life

Autumn Temple

Made and posted this several months ago on my guqin but never finished it. This is very close to done, I just need practice. Sorry about the noise - still having trouble capturing and cleaning the sound. 

Anyways, is this Classical or World, when it comes to SoundCloud? And will I ever get a good cover photo of this guqin?

This piece evokes memories of ruin, and its tragic pain.

In Ruins

Victory of Reversal is a fusion composition that blends traditional Chinese timbres with modern electronic sound design. Drawing source material from Guqin master Guan Pinghu’s performances of Ou Lu Wang Ji and Ping Sha Luo Yan, the piece reimagines these textures through sampling, digital effects, and wavetable synthesis. Combined with synthesized pads, 808 drums, and subtle flute lines, the composition explores the contrast and harmony between natural acoustic tones and processed electronic layers. With its cinematic structure and evolving transitions, this work aims to evoke visual imagery through sound and offers a personal reflection on cultural identity, technology, and artistic transformation.

Victory of Reversal

Something I'm working on. Will eventually finish and get a video up.

Healing (wip)

This song combines traditional Chinese instruments with modern folk and rap-sung elements. The elegant tones of the Guqin and Guzheng add depth to the song, while the neo-folk and video game music influences transport the listener to a different world. It creates a calm and atmospheric feeling, a perfect harmony of the mystical atmosphere of the East and modern melodies.

I’m Wenxi Song, a postgraduate student in Electroacoustic Music and Interactive Media at the University of Manchester. My work explores the relationship between electronic composition and experimental sound design, often blending organic recordings with synthetic textures. I’m particularly interested in creating immersive listening experiences that connect the natural and the artificial, and in discovering new ways to shape sound through both emotion and innovation.

The soul that will always be misunderstood.

Our world is full of unfairness and I hate it, because I am noone... I am mental ill for others... and I cant change it...

I am only honest to people, but they don't wanna hear truth because it is pain.

Noone is perfect you need accept it.
