There are nights when even silence sounds like music.
静けさまで、音に聴こえる夜がある。

I've been tinkering with SVG animation, ancient Chinese instruments, and harmonics. What are those weird dots? Why not mash these three subjects all up together into a pile of blog?

The guqin is a plucked seven-string Chinese zither used in Chinese music 3000–4000 years ago. It is significant, and several instruments were created using the same concepts. It has 7 strings and is made reclaimed wood which after preparation was dried for 5 years before turned into an instrument. It is around 130cm x 25cm (I think). This image shows it lying on top of the soft case it came with which is a lovely dark color with bright ornamental flower patterns on it. Although made of wood, a traditional lacquer is applied making it quite dark, but also very, very smooth to touch. Musically, it has a range similar to a cello, but sounds quite different.
The is the guqin in its soft case lying on my bed. The case is long and tapers to one end to fit the tapered width of the guqin. The fabric is soft and inside it is noticeable the fabric has padding to protect the instrument better. I find the fabric pleasant to touch and the overall aesthetic is appealing. Once the instrument is within the case, a flap folds to cover the open end of the bag which is then tied securely sturdy cloth straps which match the bag. Not shown are the carrying straps (they are underneath it). There are straps to carry it horizontally and I think the longer strap in the middle is for wearing it somewhat like a backpack.
I completely forgot to post my #guqin pics, so here they are. It has a high learning curve, but it's worth it!
It's made of old to ancient reclaimed wood and the black lacquer makes the surface very glossy and smooth.

I arranged Israel Kamakawiwoʻole's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by ear for tenor #recorder and bass #ukulele. I need a tenor ukulele. I transposed to fit tenor recorder. I'll arrange for #Kalimba, #IrishWhistle, #NativeAmericanFlute, #guqin, anything I have. I made a solo version too.

I have a guqin now. It is gorgeous and surprisingly good quality considering its price. It came with an instruction book with some staff notation, but the rest is in Chinese. Time to learn the language I suppose. I have wanted to do so for a while.
I'll add a photo soon.

Reminder to tune your instruments and care for them. They await your touch, your expression, your songs. #Guqin #Guitar
The 5th hui and the 9th hui are the same when playing the 泛音, the 'heavenly sound'. There is symmetry from the 7th hui to the edge

I got bored and put a guitar effect chain on my #guqin
Whoa.
Breakthrough last night. Haven't played it a long time, and I tend to play it more reflectively and meditatively (or improvisationally) without structure (because I'm still not able to play songs, really)...

Veranstaltung zur daoistischen Musik widmet sich der Ausgelassenheit, die sich einstellt, wenn man alles hinter sich gelassen hat. Versinnbildlicht in der Geschichte des Philosophen Liezi, der sich auf den Wind schwingend Schritt für Schritt eins wird mit dem Wind, der Natur, dem Universum. Selbstvergessen zieht er dahin, befreit von den Lasten seiner Existenz. Ähnlich verhält es sich mit seinem Seelenverwandten, dem Philosophen Zhuangzi, der erwachend aus einem Traum, in dem er ein Schmetterling ist, beide Existenzformen aufhebt in der Akzeptanz des universellen Wandels. Lebensfreude wird gezogen aus dieser höheren Perspektive. Nach dem Erlangen der inneren Ruhe und der Vereinigung der verschiedenen Perspektive stellt sich zuletzt heitere Selbstvergessenheit ein. Die "Melodie der Götter" überschreitet den Rahmen der daoistischen Musik und weist auf die magische Wirkung von Musik in der mythologischen Vergangenheit zurück.
