Been a minute since last release, but here it is: <風花雪月> series, pt 1/3, 1000copies vinyl only release. This first tribute was originally a cover done by the legendary Anita Mui <尋愛> based on Mariya Takeuchi’s “Plastic Love”. During the pandemic (end of 2020) while messing around on Ableton feeling down after moving back from London, was listening to old 80s/90s canto for comfort & got inspired to record a few of these tribute covers. a love letter to the golden era of cantopop. Just for fun, everything done in one take in the bedroom on the juno, linndrum samples, C3000 mic etc. at some point after saving up to rent studio,
@thedanielchu came over to jam, and on the first pass did this incredible piano solo. I was amazed but didnt really have a plan, as it was too different from other songs. A year ago
