*2024 stock* "This is one of the many solo albums that Mamer completed in 2013. At that time Mamer's desire to create erupted like a volcano. I remember that bookstores had just released his solo albums "Stars" and "Cycles", as well as IZ's "Echoes"; many fans were slowly accepting music like IZ's "Shadows", and some people started to talk about the expansion and "revolutionization" of folk instrumentation on "Stars", while Mamer was already immersed in another world. 

One day he handed me a bunch of CDs containing recordings of about a dozen albums, covering a wide range of his solo work since 2000, including industrial, ambient, noise and other styles, but what impressed me even more was the large number of experiments with ethnic instrumentation, using instruments such as the dongbura, mouth chord, shamanic drums, the zerwap and so on; some of these recordings have since been officially released, and others have attracted attention from some domestic and international labels. Some of these recordings were later published, and some of them attracted the interest of some labels at home and abroad, but due to various reasons, coupled with the fact that Mamer was too prolific, constantly coming up with new projects and works, we were unable to keep up with his rhythm. ...... All in all, some of these recordings were put on the shelf this way.

Some time ago I happened to see a photo taken by Xiong Hui back then of Mamer playing noise at a gig, and suddenly I remembered that this music had once shaken me - for a while I had been wandering around in this kind of sound every day: dry lo-fi booms, obsessive, feverishly disturbed murmurings, thoughts that were clear and yet went in an unknown direction. I called Mamer and asked him why he was playing the noise with a saber-rattling hotwap. He replied that the structure of the hotwap and the arrangement of the strings together with the effects would tend to produce a good response and get the sound he wanted. Nothing else was said.

Ten years have passed, and during this time I am constantly asked by young people: if we all play noise, does it make any difference? I can only reply that some "noise" is just noise, while some "noise" is music; "noise" is the appearance, "playing" is the means. The "noise" is the appearance, the "playing" is the means, and the logic hidden behind these things is the music. These statements are very personal and even a bit uneducated, but that's what I felt most directly when I heard the album back then. The tape is now published in the Old Heaven Books, which is a way to avenge a decade of revenge, and a way of digging up the unpublished works of Mamer's historical legacy. The upstairs neighbor, Tug Wood, had to chime in, saying that he heard pure folk music in the noise, while Mamer himself was silent on the subject. So, what you hear is what you get." - Tu Fei
