One of my favorite project in these four years since I went back to my island Macau 🇲🇴
John Cage’s Sonatas and Interludes with the Eight Rasas
Inspired by Untitled Event at Black Mountain College, this performance features music, lighting, installation and dance. It combines avant-garde composer John Cage’s Sonatas and Interludes for Prepared Piano with projection mapping and dancers‘ body languages, offering a journey to open the doors of perception and experience the rasas in Indian aesthetics, namely the Erotic, the Comic, the Pathetic, the Furious, the Heroic, the Terrible, the Odious and the Wondrous. After savouring these eight rasas, we may experience the ninth – the Tranquil.

I’m deeply grateful that my music & art space in China successfully hosted my childhood piano teacher’s masterclass at the Zhuhai Steinway Hall.
Over the past few years after returning to Macau, I’ve taught a few of my most cherished students, and they all participated in this event. Being able to bring my teacher and my students together is incredibly precious to me.
I wrote six pages of class notes, bringing back so many fond memories of my piano lessons from the past.
Choi Sown Le once said:
When playing the piano, there are actually four teachers—
1. Strings
2. Winds Instrument
3. Vocal
4. Nature
Music doesn’t need to be dramatic every single moment. Often, it’s the simplest and most delicate parts that touch the heart the most—I will forever keep it in my heart.
deeply cherish this rare 10-year promise
this might be the only time in my life to travel alone with my dear 車鵬 bro
Thank you bro for sending me grace in the storm
Thank you Lord for picking 車鵬 to be my sibling
