new "empty street" song demo - with rough structure/lyric-like content

my friends told me that my new song is really good and looking forward to listen to a more convinced version;they told me it's too abstract.
but the question is i dont have professional sound card/software at tokyo right now which allows me to edit music/insert midi into it/mix it...so probably our fans can only get the mixed version after christmas holidays...and it's sun zexin,my best friend's job ( :

furthermore i have to say that it is the way i write songs,especially at very beginning phase of writing a song;it should be abstract and dynamic.

however,here i update it to a kind of song-like or relatively integrate version which normally people can feel it a bit more maybe.but it is too long this time maybe!!!more than 6mins!!!why is that!!!

anyway,the new single' s cover is the same as last one.i really love it.

"empty street(demo)"

since another "automaticdesign" rock show is going to happen one month later somewhere on earth,i start to writing new songs recent days & nights,a lot of inspirations.

here the one is the 4th,a demo;a random; a song about the blue,the good,the bad,the air,the light and the queen;it's called "empty street".

right now,it's kind of "rhythm-finding" phase of the song.
and later i m going to update it to a multiple-sound-track and mixed version in computational space.

abstract machine-diagram GtH

i really dont like the feeling of working till next day's morning.

have to meet professor for seminar....................presentation..............................and he is late.........................

however,moby's music saved me...it's frozen my time last night.

just repeating it:::::::"the day"

"I will be right here
'til all the pain
Just disappear
I will always stay
'til all this light
Just kills the day"

yusuke:"ohohoh..."

from ruin to rebirth

when i was in college,maybe 1st semester at zone 2 of hit,i read a book about "The Metabolists",a manifesto of japan designers,which aimed to deploy biological systems as inspiration for architecture and urbanism that could adapt to ever-changing modern life.

it sounds not that cool right now as so many these kinds of thinking and academic practices have emerged all over the world.

but the background of this architectural wave in japan is reconstruction of cities like hiroshima and tokyo after WWII.

it was 1960s.

this year,a severe earthquake of magnitude 9 happened to northeast areas of japan.
tens of thousands people are homeless.

after this mega quake,designers of japan again,are walking together to plan new home after disaster.it is kind of a special way for japan cities' development:"from ruin to rebirth."for metabolism,several exhibitions are on the show related to it in tokyo right now. it seems that "The Metabolists" start to be active again. even rem koolhaas has involved in this;his new book called:"Project Japan: An Oral History Of Metabolism" will be released next month.it is said that in this new book,a lot of never-seen pics/models/interviews will be published.the ambition of this book argues lots of terms in today's architectural issues like monumentality/sustainability and necessity for architecture to embrace the future.and his point here,at this time is that:the book is a vivid documentary of the last avant-garde movement and the last moment that architecture was a public rather than a private affair...

this afternoon,rem koolhaas gave a lecture at department of architecture,university of tokyo with toyo ito,and many others,to talk about this new book,the old term.

so,what did "The Metabolists" exactly do to re-build/re-new/re-development of japan cities in history?
what will it do for now?what's the role of it in japan mega cities's development?is metabolism the same term as 1960s?in 21st century,with driving forces like computational space/material computation;can metabolism be extended?does rem consider his new book as a summury or historical book for metabolism?

obvious questions,aren't they?
actually after lecture,i asked him several questions above.

i ll show you full answers from him later from my friend's recording file.

rem vs ito
talking...

anyway,i think sometimes designers always think hard,very hard,are trying to lead the way of living without considering the existing human techniques and materiality,which techniques might be invented,achieved or at least can be researched/argued after proposal,even for the design tool.and we prettify this avant-garde,dont we? there is always a gap between proposal and material in real world.but one thing is important here,that is design with context.my tutor yusuke said once in studio:"dont design for mars."

from 169 years to 2 days

looking forward to presenting our design research project that is a hylozoic rooting system,can remediate the toxic soil in very short time and at the same time can...@ joint review event of princeton university.
