*100 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* "This album was created unintentionally during the past two years. I was mostly at home by myself. At times, energy needed to let out and flow. Making sounds channeled my anxiety, boredom, happiness, and nameless feelings. A lot had happened, yet nothing really happened. A lot of the sounds were created either on my double bed, in the wardrobe, or in my living room, a small part of it was possibly recorded in the bathroom.

The album was recorded with my iPhone SE2 with voice memo. The "Intro" was created when I still had a double bed (now I slept on the floor, which was better for my waist and back, though not necessarily so for my neck). I played the vibraphone, hiding inside the blanket, and worked my best so that the blanket would not suffocate the sounds. Now, I am in the wave again. Possibly, a little bit closer to the real world. I suppose, a little bit closer to you, whoever is listening to it now." - Chun-liang Liu
