Pak Yan Lau The Days of the Week / Chinese Wisdom 7″

Cat. No. HOL-134
Edition of 150 copies, black vinyl

Two pieces made with dismantled toy pianos, wind up toys, popping candy, bow, toy spring reverb, Buddha Machine, Tamayura bell, Japanese iron wind chimes, electronics, and voice. Percussive rhythms, hypnotic sounds and Cantonese words used like magic formulas. Somewhere between minimalism and gamelan, but still unmistakably unique.

Recorded and mixed at Outlau’d Studio, Brussels, in 2020 (Chinese Year of the Rat) during pandemic, and finalised in 2021 (Chinese Year of the Ox). Mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi. Cover illustration by Eleusi.
