Zhu’s music is primarily constructed through piano and voice, “performed” through active manipulation of a MIDI instruments and vocal recordings overlaid and situated in field recordings and soundtrack rips. The resulting world created reads as documentations or meta-considerations of the present moment, measurements of the experience of life through technologically informed sound design. The latest bod [包家巷] work, entitled The Recurrence Of Infections [复发感染], is an elliptically sweet yet unsettling audio piece that conceptualizes a state of mind in “the quiet hours of laborious coping that fall into the areas between work and sleep.” It comes with additional sound and video supplements that "are components of the larger, continuous work that is living." The title refers to a series of health issues that they had while living in Los Angeles. Zhu has stated in previous interviews that their practice in music is distinct from their art, citing “socioeconomic precarity” as a driving force behind their work. “I put my studio practice on hold specifically to work on music (for efficacy, music allows me to engage with people in a way that art can’t) knowing that meaning doesn’t translate, even when literally transcribed.” The spacious desolation and emotional surges that are felt in the sound piece aren’t intended to impart meaning as much as expressing an affect, specifically attuned to the darker moments in one’s life when they are self-loathing, lost in unease and intense fear. The work varies from calm and polymorphous soundscapes to maximal onslaughts of noise and harmonies, each section stitched to the next as nonlinear, anecdotal chapters in a story of personal experience.

漸入佳境的感覺太美好,花37分鐘時間深陷一段苦乐参半的感性體驗。音頻的疊加和轉錄,field-recording讓一切籠罩在灰色的底色中,基調是憂鬱的。彷彿將傷口敞開,侵略性的色調將一切事物淹沒,感染,同化。很快地,我們會在不断起落的情景组接中找到共鳴點

太牛逼了,越听越觉得不可思议。这一次不再需要去寻找和音乐的连接点,甚至可以说在音乐被播放的那一瞬间就已经站在了桥梁上,在不远处瞭望着于幻想与现实间反复感染的心。而field recording之类的元素也不再只是无意义标签。
