OUC003 : Baishui / Sound In Motion: Prologue - Puzzle suite

After releasing his post-rock-prog-folk single " No Intrinsic, No Independent" (see OAS003), Baishui returns with two completely different albums: Prologue and Puzzle Suite.

Born in a small Sichuanese city, Baishui is a composer and self-taught guitarist, pianist and master of many traditional Chinese instruments, whose compositions and performance have ranged across his career from neo-folk and dark-ambient-influenced music to experimental and post-rock sounds—and beyond.


"Throughout Baishui’s work, a near-religious serenity and atmosphere transports one to a faraway place; foreign yet familiar; where Baishui, and his listeners, seem to be the only residents." Jonathan Campbell

1: Prologue
About Prologue, better read what Luo Keju & Jonathan Campbell have written about it:

"Sound, which we experience in fascinating and abstract ways, is difficult to describe.

From the three-piece prog- and post-rock sound of City of Lost to his first attempt at minimalist glitches Diary of Broken Sounds, prolific Sichuan musician Baishui has been searching for ways to describe and enable the experience of sound. In pieces or as a whole; violent or delicate; carefully-composed or improvised: The search for the balance of these, and other, opposites in the various moments of his work is what Baishui's music has been about.

In a new series of projects -- Sound in Motion -- Baishui examines the relationship between sound and movement. Whether in terms of sound's motion or changing, the project is intentionally open-ended; Baishui lays the musical foundations upon which a range of artists from a variety of backgrounds are invited to build through collaboration.

Sound in Motion: Prologue is the series' first release, with four musicians representing different genres participating in their own unique ways. It originates from a field recording or a photograph with which collaborators are encouraged to employ in their own ways; Baishui then combines the contributions into a final product. There is no certain end point to the project; rather, the very nature of sound emerges from the somewhat random creative process.


More releases, as well as performances, are now being prepared for the series' future stages. A perpetually-evolving project, artists from across modern dance, visual and installation art as well as sound artists of all kinds are sought to maintain the motion essential to the series."
