Music Xu Wei

In our time, there is not much music worth listening to repeatedly, and Xu Wei's new album Time Walk is a record that can be listened to repeatedly.

Xu Wei, a mysterious and real name.

Many people have given the name multiple definitions, such as a bard, a rock prodigal son or a humanistic singer. However, in the face of all these definitions, the narrative closest to Xu Wei's soul is actually only two words-music.

Time walking once again proves the inseparable life connection between Xu Wei and music. Therefore, we are more determined. No matter how noisy the times are, no matter how popular it is, Xu Wei can only be a person who expresses his life experience with music.

The creation of the new album lasted for two years, and Xu Wei accumulated a lot of materials. Walking in the streets of Beijing or Xi, or staying at home quietly, he kept playing and singing. Too harsh creative self-discipline almost makes wonderful works slip away, and because of this, every work in the album is the condensation of his musical strength.

So, we heard the English Swan Journey, Blue Lotus full of Zen, and of course, the Gift that made friends in the circle cry on the spot when recording.

As the producer of this album, Xu Wei invited his music friends to complete this happy music journey together. Liang Jianfeng played most of the guitars in the album, and at the same time, he also finished arranging some tracks. There is no doubt that this musician, who is as dedicated to music as Xu Wei, has expanded the works of his new album in a wider space. In the process of recording an album, Liang Jianfeng often spends several hours tuning his guitar, hoping to find a better state. The drums in the album are all done by Japanese musician Funky. Funky is a "music ronin" who is admired by insiders. He travels between Tokyo, Hong Kong and Beijing all the year round. This time, coincidence contributed to their cooperation. Funky's drums add indispensable magic to the album, and his grasp of texture and rhythm is impressive.

In Xu Wei's concept, every recording of an album is a musical event without farewell, and every song produced is an invitation to music friends.

The two-year album Time Walk was published. Xu Wei said, "I'm on my way!" . During the intermission of intensive publicity work, he devoted himself to his creation, began to prepare his new works, and still strolled in endless music time.

Visual Xu Wei

Du Yingnan, a photographer who has lived in Britain for three years, is a wandering fellow traveler. If Xu Wei expresses his sense of life with music, then Du Yingnan is singing with the camera. Du Yingnan advocates real picture language, and it is also the common aspiration of people in this era to restore the true colors of life. Du Yingnan's book Days in London records his black-and-white life in England with simple words and real shots, which is consistent with Xu Wei's style. In A Time Walk, Du Yingnan captured the truest Xu Wei, and his reserved eyes and attentive manner showed Xu Wei coming back to life in front of Du Yingnan's camera. The shooting was completed in Beijing. In any scene, whether it is an underground passage or a light rail train, Du Yingnan uses the camera language freely, so that Xu Wei can be visually restored in front of the camera.

Photographer and designer Han Lei won a photography award in the United States, and his series of works along the railway have great influence at home and abroad. Han Lei and Du Yingnan are good friends, and their spiritual communication adds visual impact to the graphic design of Time Walk. When the record companies in Xu Wei distributed this album in the media, their photography and record design were highly praised, and some media even claimed that it was the most visually effective album cover they had seen in recent years. In particular, the album poster has been well received by overseas media in Beijing. Some reporters think it is a rare album poster with international standards in China.

State Wei Xu

From "Red Star" to "Artistic Style", from "Two Days" to "One Day", Xu Wei's music has been honed for more than ten years, and the joys and sorrows he experienced during this period have been condensed and refined in this album "Time Walking".

In the past two years, Xu Wei devoted himself to music creation. He has heard a lot of different styles of music, from environmental music to world music. Xu Wei believes that any form of music should be respected as long as the attitude of the creator is sincere. In recent years, he often draws nutrition from the profoundness of China folk music. Whether it's "Moonlit Night on a Spring River" or the folk songs compiled by Wang, they are all ways for him to refine his creative source from tradition and folk.

Between Beijing and Xi 'an, Xu Wei leads a normal life. As before, he met a wandering singer who sang "Hometown" in the subway and listened to others singing his own songs quietly. His life is still so dull. He plays music alone or with his music friends, reads China's ancient books or watches DVD…… ...........................................................................................................................................................

Change and invariability

Xu Wei has changed.

The ten works of Time Walk show the brightness, brilliance and joy he has never seen before. We can appreciate his softness and persistence from his changeable musical colors. Loneliness, despair and sadness in the past can hardly be found in the lyrics, and they are replaced by simplicity and atmosphere.

The changes in Xu Wei are the fission of crustal magma accumulated for many years, just like the fission of human life, which is silent and unforgettable.

This kind of change needs you to savor it slowly, and find our own time trace from his rhythmic melody over and over again.

Xu Wei has not changed.

He is still the persistent Xu Wei and uncompromising Xu Wei. Behind the glamour is a hard soul. This soul is just waiting for music. In silence, he tells you his unchanging music.
