This live recording is C.F.G.'s iterative improvisation between semantic, phonetic, vocal and musical sounds, based on a two-page fragment of text from Yang Sao's poetic drama "Tune of Heart", written in 1924.

"From Empty"

Recorded live at the Ming Room, Shanghai, on 29 August 2021.

Jun-Y Ciao: Clarinet

MAI mai: Guitar

Xu Cheng: Gong and Bowls

Live recording from one of the "Voice of Turtle" series organized by Zhu Songjie.

The first half is based on a very "Post-Garde" concept: when a C pentatonic (C, D, E, G, A) is superimposed on a D pentatonic (D, E, F#, A, B), a 雅乐调 (C Lydian Mode) is formed: C, D, E, F#, G, A, B. Each of the three performers improvises on one of the scale bases, gradually adding notes.

The second half is an improvisation without any arrangement.
