What is it that we see with our eyes ? What is it that we perceive ?
The same sound can mean different things “Eye” in English is “Ai” (Love) in Chinese.
Am “I” what my “eye” can see ? Am I what I love or the mirror of the ones who love me ?
Recorded in Beijing in 2016, the two parts of “Eye.爱.Ai.I” are 50 minutes of music on one album in two parts.
This play on words is a way to explore once more the depth of possibilities given by looking at the world from
different perspectives.
Recorded in Beijing with Nicolas Mège, Clancy Lethbridge, Octavio, Nora, Nalc and Dick Marvel.
“Eye.爱.Ai.I” part 1 and 2 are a sequel to “Bridges” part 1 and 2.
The bridges have been crossed.
In this album, mainly based on instruments electric zhongruan and electric pipa (both of my own designs),
I have tried to extend once more the possibilities of these instruments, with the goal to integrate them in a more global
idea of music, for them not to only be instruments belonging to a place in space and time in the past
but to a global culture that is everyday built by millions of people around the world.
We can be anything we want, if we allow ourselves to be.
Enjoy the music.
Djang San.
