If we had to choose between two scenes one depicting the people inside the train and the other showing people observing the passing train I would choose the latter. This choice is similar to the deci sions we face in life, whether to seek stability or embrace exploration.
In this album I combined a lot of field recordings with the resonant texture of Pandora's Box. The auditory experience of a train roaring by has a unique appeal to me. Growing up in western Sichuan, China, I was lucky enough to gaze out the window of my home at a long, thin railroad track. As a child, I was fascinated by the sight of these trains and let my imagination run free. On those warm summer nights, I pondered who the passengers were, and the adventures that awaited them.
As time passes, the old green trains gradually fade into history, and the individuals who once rode them may also vanish in every corner of the world. The beauty lies in the fact that the memory of these sounds will accompany us deep into the recesses of our memories.
