音乐 & 制作 Zafka
软件 & 硬件 Ableton Live & Push 2

This EP is my new attempt after ”The Great Plains“ trilogy series released in Play Rec label. It is also the music prepared for my audio-visual show in Shenzhen OCAT at the end of August 2019. The entire EP uses more orchestral instruments, and it is relatively theatrical in terms of atmosphere and composition structure. As in today's world, countless theaters of our society are collapsing and rebuilding, and invisible social contracts are being rewritten. This EP is the eight conditions of the contract I have dismantled and observed in one of the theaters. Several vocal samples in the music come from the Youtube. The rap sample in the eighth track came from the 1 minute accapella video submitted by a Chinese rapper SIO online for the ”The Rap of China" show.

这张小 EP，是我在大平原三部曲系列之后新尝试。也是为了 2019 年 8 月底在深圳 OCAT 演出准备的音乐。整个 EP 更多使用了管弦乐乐器音色，在氛围和结构上，做了相对剧场化处理。正如当今的世界，有无数剧场正在崩塌和重建，看不见的契约正在被重新书写。这张小 EP，算是我把其中一个剧场进行了拆解和观察，记录的八条契约。音乐中的人声采样，都来自于网络。其中第八首的说唱人声，来自西奥SIO在中国新说唱海选阶段提交的 1 分钟 accapella 视频。
