Guqin 古琴 - Oulu Wang Ji

Back


Guqin 古琴 - Oulu Wang Ji video:


This is one of the most personalized pieces in my current repertoire; I owe a debt to Guan Pinghu and Pu Xuezhai, but the rendition is essentially my own. Among the most prominent masters, only Li Xiangting plays this piece today--and he does so in only about half the time. I enjoy slowing down radically, as it allows me to explore "space" and the architecture of lingering sound. Oulu Wang Ji ("Seagulls - Forgetting Schemes") is fundamentally a piece of admonition. It draws from an old story wherein a surprised fisherman discovers that seagulls have no fear of him until he thinks about killing them for dinner. How anybody could make that into a piece of music is beyond me, but apparently somebody succeeded! The music explores both the vast, misty scenery of the original tale and the stern moral lesson that our intentions are never entirely opaque to others, and that every motivation bears consequences.
