身份的表演

After his 2009 European tour, Xiaohe released his second album in China with Maybe Mars. Consisting of improvised live and studio performances and two separate CDs, the new album is a milestone for Xiaohe. The live CD is based on 30 hours of recordings going back three years, which he has assembled as his “Personal Symphony” and, selected from six different shows, focuses on the irreversible and unrepeatable character of live performance. The other CD was recorded in his studio and focuses on the quality of the sounds and experimentation with the recording process and juxtaposes thousands of ways of combining vocal sounds with the sound of his guitar as he wrestles with and reinterprets his understanding of Minimalism.
