Happy Friday everyone,
Thank you for subscribing to Wu Fei’s Music Daily. This is episode #411 — Drop it and shine 退一步, 海阔天空.
This multi-track guzheng composition was created and recorded on September 7th, 2021, performed by me. It is another piece where I did not wear finger picks so I could pluck and mute instantly. It is a technique I learned from playing Balinese gamelan music, where most of the percussion instruments are hit with a hammer (or a mallet) with right hand, then is muted immediately by the left hand. I miss playing the gamelan!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
