SUN YIZHOU / TOSHIMARU NAKAMURA - OIL-FRIED GHOST (CD)

Sun Yizhou: relays, feedbacks, Toshimaru Nakamura: no-input mixing board a. the phrase "from the hell to another hell" used for tracks 3, 4, and 5 is something Toshimaru Nakamura said before coming to veijing. It refers to the summer heat in beijing and tokyo (which, I believe, is also reflected in the music). th b. toshimaru nakamura came to veijing for you and me festival (2025), interestingly, we describe it as "hell week". c. the recording's panning is arranged as an eai duo: most of my sound is on the left, most of his is on the right. after track 4, "to", the stereo positions are swapped. d. the album title, "yóu zhá gui", is the cantonese and minnan term for fried dough sticks. i came up with it during a tour in hong kong with toshimaru nakamura, yan jun, makoto oshiro, and satoshi yashiro (consider to the temperature there, that place is closer to hell). the literal english translation is a bit more interesting and a bit silly, which is exactly right. please take it only literally. also, this is dedicated to those who don't know what is: you are right. e. track 6, "let's eat breakfast!" although we lived together for about a week, we never ate breakfast together.about a week, we never ate breakfast together.
