Listen to 讓我歡喜讓我憂 You make me happy and sad, a playlist by chu-lan-maria on #SoundCloud

悲傷教你為快樂做好準備。 它猛烈地把你家裡的一切都掃除，如此一來全新的喜樂就可以找到空間進來。 它把樹枝上的黃葉從你心中抖落，方可在原來的地方長出新翠的綠葉。 拔掉爛根，長出新生的。 隱藏在下面便有成長的空間。 無論悲傷從你的心中撼動， 更好的事將會取而代之。

Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.

🎧 erhu vs. haegeum | since i’m pretty hyped about agust d’s “HAEGEUM” release, i wanted to share a video showcasing the traditional instrument’s sound. but i stumbled upon this one and really enjoyed hearing a comparison (and i love erhu music, too; this was amazing.) so i figured this could be the one to highlight.

🗒️ note: erhu (right) plays first, then haegeum (left)

🎶 even though these two instruments look similar, the sounds and tones are distinctly different! this is due to what materials are used and the techniques required for each.

🤍 each have the power to draw complex emotions from the listener, and it’s very interesting that both are associated with love, loss, mourning, etc.

💭 here are some translated comments (kor 👉 eng) expressing the sounds if you aren’t able to hear the video:

💌 anyways, i post all this to say: super excited for what yoongi is going to hit us with for D-DAY’s main track! looks like it’s going to be packed with raw emotion and angst and may kickstart the beginning of the end of AGUST D, paired with the first track “D-DAY.”

i haven't posted much more about erhu/zhonghu since there's not a lot to say that's amenable to text posts lol. but i've been making very satisfying progress, the sounds coming out of my instrument sound a lot like erhu music now!

i'm still only playing pretty short tunes, gradually adding more finger positions and complex rhythms with each exercise, but there's something immensely satisfying about getting to that point where you're worrying less about making the instrument sound at all right and more about like, expressing the actual piece you're playing. it really feels like a kind of alchemy, stuff that took immense thought sliding down into subconscious muscle memory, just by virtue of practicing. hooray for being a wet goopy neural net i guess!

with erhu, there's all sorts of subtleties to how exactly you touch the strings and hold the bow, and i definitely wouldn't have figured it out without teaching, i had no idea. big shoutout to my teacher Wen Li for like, immense attention to detail and patience, and also managing to get it all across in a second language, which is like ultra hard mode. here's an extremely brief clip of her playing, she's crazy good at it -

when she briefly took my instrument a few weeks ago to demo the technique i was thinking like damn, you can make this zhonghu sound that good? like it's one thing to know how good an erhu can sound in recording, another to see someone play your instrument and show you what is possible with it. i think she said she's been playing erhu since she was 7.
