No man is an island entire of itself every man is a piece of the continent a part of the main If a clod be washed away by the sea Europe is the less as well as if a promontory were as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were any man's death diminishes me because I am involved in mankind,and,therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls it tolls for thee

The last person to leave turns off the light Baiya The pigeon finds it too late understanding the air from one building to another. In a moment of apprehensiveness, she unloads her capability of flight. Staring at the word of isolation quietly, Being isolated by a layer of glass disassembling the noema, distance represents the sky of nature. Looking down, no humanity, the pigeon does not need to understand it. But she understands, that it is unlike humanity. Counting all day long, and as moodiness. This is roughly the twilight of the world, while in the afterglow, there is no world, but is the image of the world. Endless amount of information stabs through the flesh of measurement, but cannot spy on the depth of the evil permanently, while the reality is a word of excessive ambiguity, not in which people are, but the voice sealed in words, is likely to pass the falling tidal flat. A word picked up randomly, can even hear the panic at the boarder. There are screens installed both indoors and outdoors. With splendid attire of festivals, the hell is weaving voice and countenance of regime in human languages, while lies even are hastening parturition of vegetation that does not exit this spring. Humiliation and despair are likely to be rinsed over and over again, but they will be converted into raindrops with high probability, and strike in eyes, while they are not tears, like this hoarse throat, but not limbs of actions. The transition does not allow for eye closure. No better than being a literary corpse, opening eyes widely, the bright is nothing but darkness, and the darkness nothing but stupid and stupid means. The chorus is about to start. The theater is preparing hands of encouragement, and some words are commandeered, while some are confined. As the logic enveloping the world: The last person to leave turns off the light. 鸽子过于晚地理解了从这栋楼到那栋楼的空气 在领悟的时刻,她卸下飞行的本事 安静地凝视隔离这个词 隔着一层拆解心智的玻璃,远方是自然的天空 往下看,是非人,鸽子不必要理解人 但她理解,不像人 镇日计数,镇日地喜怒 这大致是世界的黄昏,然而余晖中 并没有世界,有的,只是世界的形象 无尽的信息穿刺过测量的肉身 却永远无法打探到邪恶的深度,真实 是一个过于模棱两可的词,人不在其中,只有 封印在语词中的声音,像是走过一片落潮的滩涂 随手拾起一个词,都可以听到 界线处的恐慌 室内和室外都安排了屏幕 地狱穿着节日的盛装,用人的语言编织 制度的声色,谎言甚至催生了 这个春天并不存在的植被 屈辱和绝望可能会被一遍遍漂洗 但大概率会被转化为雨滴,打在眼睛里 却不是泪水,正如此刻嘶哑的喉咙 不是行动的肢体 这流转不会给予闭眼的余地 不如像一具真正的尸体,睁大眼睛,这光鲜 无非是黑暗,而黑暗 无非是愚蠢和愚蠢的手段 合唱就要开始了 剧场方面准备了鼓舞的手,一些词语 被征用,一些被禁闭 一如这包覆世界的逻辑: 最后走的人关灯

From now until Bodhi Dulwa For the blessedness of all living things All that I have for myself is beyond prosperity All karman practiced in all time, To worship the Buddha with all piety To have a broad view of the holy Pray Buddha to show great mercy To make all merits become true on all For the blessedness of all living things དེང་ནས་བྱང་ཆུབ་སྙིང་པོའི་བར།། བདག་གི་ལུས་དང་ལོངས་སྤྱོད་དང་།། དུས་གསུམ་དགེ་བའི་དངོས་པོ་རྣམས།། སེམས་ཅན་ཀུན་གྱི་དོན་གྱི་ཕྱིར།། གུས་པས་ཁྱེད་ལ་དབུལ་བར་བགྱི།། ཀུན་ནས་གཟིགས་པའི་སྤྱན་ལྡན་མ།། ཡོན་གནས་དམ་པ་ཁྱེད་རྣམས་ཀྱིས།། བདག་ལ་བརྩེ་བའི་ཉེར་དགོངས་ནས།། བདག་གི་འདི་དག་བཞེས་སུ་གསོལ།། བཞེས་ནས་བྱིན་གྱིས་བརླབ་ཏུ་གསོལ།། 从今直至菩提藏 为利一切诸众生 凡吾身及胜富足 三时所修诸善业 愿以恭敬供养佛 广视慧眼圣福田 请佛大发慈悲心 所有功德皆随喜 利乐一切诸众生

about

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.
