2020(For the text)

Disaster leaps from the screen and Isolation becomes the norm. "2020" is a Post-rock poeme for the fractured present and the text that perpetuates memory.
In 2020, We who pass by impermanence, and we have come out of the long silence, back to language from the silent after language. Through the explicit ambiguity of the creation, the experience of music, sound, poetry, scripture and reality is firmly connected in this EP creating a human theatre of hesitation, panic, hope and criticism between the real and the false. The news and environmental samples of the new world epidemic have been recorded, and the sermons of John Donne, a 16th-century English poet, "For whom the Bell Tolls", and the February 2020 poem by Baiya, "The Last Person to Leave Turns Off The Light", and the disaster seems to be endless, but the reality has confirmed the nature of our ability to forget. So on top of this barren plateau, in the chant of the Tibetan monk, Nyiten Samwui, we vainly hope, and the four pieces of music will put all these past moments in memory forever.
