Thanks to my friend Tom Clouse for catching this moment from my Big Ears Festival 2026 set. I was singing straight into the #guzheng #古筝 using its body as my amplifier. As my voice hit the sound hole, all the harmonics of 21 strings rang out. The sound waves travelled through

my eardrums & I could feel my brain vibrating. The song is “Thirty Miles Village” (三十里铺), a love tune from northwest China.

#1234 Wu Fei’s Music Daily — Silent beams 晚山采霓虹 Last Friday, I hiked up the hills. By the time I reached the top, it was already dark. The lit-up downtown of #Nashville was a rare sight for me. Hope this #guzheng piece brings you beaming joy. wufeimusic.substack.com/p/12…

1229 Wu Fei’s Music Daily — Zebra grin 斑马笑 Today’s piece was recorded on 4-track guzheng. The inspiration came from a safari trip in South Africa 15 years ago. I was fascinated by the wild animals that we passed by, especially the goofy & cute zebras. wufeimusic.substack.com/p/12…

I was fascinated by the wild animals that we passed by, especially the goofy and cute zebras. They were the most friendly to us, unlike the rhinos or the elephants. We got chased by them on 2 separate occasions. Scary. How much I miss Africa! Hope this piece brings you joy.
