CE06 聽秋 Ting Qiu - Listening to Autumn 
Recording information & credits
HOW TO LISTEN (to this naturally minimalistic recording)
• As an ambient record of a possible soundscape in nature.
Turn the volume down to resemble a barely audible distant sound of crickets surrounding your habitat.
• As a nature closeup adjust the knob to a slightly higher volume.
• As the cricket concerto that demands total awareness and attention, demanding all encompassing presence of the listener.
Turn the volume up to normal for any classical composition or free-jazz concert.

唱片錄音簡介。好多年來我分了多種蟋蟀，跟幾千只蟋蟀生活在一起，同時錄了好幾百個小時的蟋蟀聲。這張唱片上 的音樂是最近兩年的大收穫。
從一百多小時質量較好的錄音里我選擇了最有特色的79分17秒。我用了一個仿人頭和 人耳效果的麥克風來錄音，全環境的聲音就象在你身邊縈繞。
唱片錄於般若湯堂和聽秋軒。
欣賞這個唱片至少有兩種方法。調低音量聽讓你感覺仿佛置身大自然，用平常音量聽那就象洪亮的交響樂，宏偉的 大曲。
在此感謝在鳴蟲界幫助我瞭解中國蟲文化的傳統的專家和好漢們。
