To make a whole song out of one word (NET) already takes tremendous courage, and to strain your voice to its limits and express yourself with no reservation takes pure audacity! My dear friend, I am so proud of your adventurous spirit and pure dedication in this artful expedition! The visual and vocal impact is already incredible on its own; TOGETHER, their perfect integration is stirring the heart and soul to the core! I could tell, you really poured your heart and soul in it!
A single word speaks for millions - it starts with Beijing opera, reminding me of Tang Dynasty Empress Young. With the sound of Zheng, I hear the voice of weeping grief, helplessness and despair. Life can be nothing but a net, if you are not courageous enough to break it!
What an outstanding production of both music, singing and graphic production! The graphic display/interpretation of the music is a perfect combination of the East meets the West, the Past meets the Present and we can see the splash generated by two powers meeting and the aftermath effect, not to mention the since where I can hear Peking Opera mingled with Western aria. This is truly the Sounds of the Hearts, of life, of struggles and of course, of triumphs. What an outstanding production!!
This, of course, is quite different from your earlier recordings. Since I cannot follow the meaning of all the words, I focused on the musical style, which seems to be an avant-garde outgrowth of Post-Webern Expressionism, a style that would have been recognized in the composition seminar that I took in 1964. With the pervasive influence of Minimalism and Neo-tonality, today, we usually hear music that is at least more stable from young composers. The graphics were quite impressive. And, of course, your vocal interpretation is outstanding. You certainly could sing in an opera by Alban Berg.
Sometimes life is like a net. The people inside the net try their best to escape. After struggling, they look forward to one day breaking the net.I like your sing the song! Your expression is vivid and vivid.
