PYSCA - Pianicemo

❖ Our Life is like Water. We struggle to break through inner and outer self. The different textures of "water" sound goes with the flow of the piano feeling, they were recorded in Iceland, with the water sound from Black Sand Beach, waterfalls, ice glacier, and improvised piano playing at the venue at KEX hostel. This piece of music is made for my own solo improvised performance at Busan Shin Dance Theatre Korea on Apr27 2016 while being Artist in Residency. I mix the music and have some idea, image, imagination and wanna truly express myself and feeling in the piece. I feel very exciting and think it's one of my very important performance in my life. It's also a very great and important experience to feel my own music in a self dance performance. I never have a Dance performance before. It's a surprise for the top Dancers and Shin sensei. I requested a 10 minutes solo performance before the big improv with them and they don't even know i'll dance, more like Zen+Tai Chi plus emotional minimal movement. It's a surprise for them, and for myself as well, to overcome myself, to explore myself. To feel how body flow with music, how sound inspire movement, how inner self and spirit express with body, soul and sound right at the moment, connecting space, time, universe and everything in the world. Our Life is like Water. We struggle to break through inner and outer self. I'm shy and quiet since small and even now I'm not good at expressing myself orally or emotionally. I often feel language and text can't be totally accurate or fully express what it is. So many misunderstanding, guessing and hiding. Music, Dance, Arts... Etc may be the only ways could truly express something beyond. I deeply hope we can have more resonance, touching each others and uplift each other's spirit and life. Time, space and physic are the limit of human and the world. But human being can get beyond it by spirit, or only by spirit. Arts are the expression of spirit, naturally, truly, purely, artificially, extremely, beautifully, disgracefully or response to any stimulation by emotion, physics or materials. As long as there is spirit in the art work there will be resonance, touch and inspiration. Every performance is a chance to deeply face ourself for enlightenment. Through arts and performance we connect and love each others. Photo Credit: PAUL YIP @ Gullfoss Waterfall, Iceland
