It is kind of hypnotic and evokes a feeling of mystery. About the VideoThe video are scenes of a few beaches near where I live (Wu Kai Sha) in Hong Kong. Most of them were taken using a Sony Nex-7 but one was taken with a Digital Harinezumi 2++ toy camera. The black and white effect was created using the Color Correction - Threshold filter ins Adobe Premiere Pro.Thumbnail DesignThe thumbnail is based on a free Creative Commons licensed Photoshop template by GraphicRiders (http://graphicriders.com)

The video footage is of a short trip I took to Tokyo with my daughter in the summer of 2018. She has her own lifestyle and travel channel (her videos are in Cantonese): youtube.com/channel/UC4UNGDKO0eFIgilfpv8qrwgI shot the video using a Fujifilm X100T, a Sony Nex-7 and an iPhone.For this trip, we didn't do a lot of activities because Tokyo was in the midst of a record-setting heatwave. We live in Asia and travel to Japan fairly regularly, so in this trip, we didn't go to any of Tokyo's must-see tourist spots, we just went to places that we felt like going to. Yuigahama BeachThis beach at Sagami Bay is about an hour by train from central Tokyo. It is not a spectacularly beautiful beach, but you can rent surfboards there and get away from the city for while.teamLab PlanetsFor me this was the highlight of the trip. teamLab is a collective of artists, musicians, computer programmers and engineers who specialize in creating immersive and interactive light and sound shows. They now have a permanent museum in Tokyo, teamlab Borderless (https://borderless.teamlab.art/), but we went to their recent exhibition at Toyosu: teamLab Planets (https://planets.teamlab.art/tokyo/). Both exhibitions require advance booking. I have a longer video of the teamLab Planets show here: artjouer.wordpress.com/2018/08/21/teamlab-planets-tokyo I couple of years ago, I stumbled across another of their installations in Kyoto. I have a photo gallery and article about that here: artjouer.wordpress.com/2016/10/19/kyoto-light-festival-at-tadasu-no-mori-and-shimogamo-jinjaNekobukuro This was an unplanned visit. While visiting the Tokyu Hands Department store to buy souvenirs, we noticed that there was a cat playground there, so we decided to check it out. Ueno ParkWe went on a Sunday and they had a little flea market there. We also visited one of the temples there (Shinobazunoike Bentendo) but did not stay long because of the heat.Senso-ji in AsakusaAfter visiting Ueno park we went to this large temple complex. That evening was the Sumida Fireworks festival, so a lot of people had taken the opportunity to get dressed up in traditional Japanese attire.The restaurantsThese were chosen by my daughter. A few of them were Ikebukuro—which is a fairly popular shopping district—because our hotel was close by.Hashtags:#Tokyo, #longzijun, #royaltyfreemusic

In this dance, Lee emphasizes her en pointe techniques and her flowing arm movements (port de bras). You can see her dance in a more contemporary style in our video for the song The Hidden Path: youtu.be/U23s1qFcNbU Kate Kwok provided the piano arrangement and played the piano. You can see some of her other arrangements in these videos:I Vow to Thee, My Country (the main theme of the Jupiter movement from: Mahler's 'The Planets'): youtu.be/ac2IiRNEr14 Feast of Starlight (from the soundtrack to The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug: youtu.be/Xuy-h2P9IHI The composition is by myself (longzijun). I also shot and edited the video and did the audio recording. Music StyleThis is a gentle and somewhat sad piano song. It is influenced by classical minuets and has the ABA structure and 3/4 time signature associated with that form. However, the arrangement is rather sparse, giving the song a more contemporary feel. As the melody is prominent, the song is more suitable for wordless videos. If used in vlogs, the melody may be distracting.About the SongThis song is about the end of a friendship. Sometimes friendships simply fade away; sometimes they quickly disintegrate, leaving at least one person one hurt and bewildered. This song is about the second kind of ending and was written after a friendship suddenly fell apart.

Most of the parts were played on a Korg M50 synthesizer. I also played alto saxophone in one section. The percussion parts were built up from pre-recorded loops.The song is influenced by some African styles, most notably Juju music. You can hear some of the following elements: a) Use of a strictly pentatonic scale (meaning there are no Western-music-style chords)b) An interplay between melodic instruments playing rhythmic lines and pitched percussion instruments. There is not such a clear distinction between rhythm and melody.c) A song structure that doesn't really on the usual verse, chorus and bridge structureOf course, there are electronic music influences as well, such as the music in the album by David Byrne and Brian Eno--My Life in the Bush of Ghosts (which is also influenced by African sounds and rhythms).The song was composed as a companion piece to my most popular song: Dreams, which was loosely inspired by Balinese Gamelan music: youtube=youtube.com/watch?v=QRtHl9n-G3o

In any case, this is where the song's roots lie. I first used a more reggae-sounding drum pattern, but I wanted to move it away from the traditional Jamaican sound.

The mood is nostalgic but still a little sweet. The teddy bears were donated to our school studio by a student a few years ago (maybe she had outgrown them). They occasionally help out by appearing as actors and models in our videos. The photos in this video were mainly shot at the school's Creative Media Studio and English Corner as well as some other places around campus. For this video, the bears also went on an outing to Ma On Shan (in Hong Kong). The guitar, bass, violin, flute, vibraphone, bells and ney parts were played on a Korg M50 while the drum parts are from loops.

To download the mp3 for this free music track at: longzijun.wordpress.com/music/intros Music, photos and video by longzijun This was my first try at a time lapse video. It was a trial and error kind of experiment. I learned that I should take the photos at shorter time intervals, set the focus manually (so the camera doesn't have to auto-focus before each shutter release) and bring more clothing if I am going to sit by the seaside for such a long time! I quite like the dancing barges towards the end. I will definitely do a longer harbor scene in the future. I had thought about whether I should correct the exposure in the opening sunset part so that the non-sun part of the photo wouldn't be so dark, but I was curious about what would happen once the sun actually set (the sea and sky became much lighter, which was kind of interesting).

It was quite touching to she so many love padlocks; I hope most of their 'love stories' had a good ending.

Elegy music by longzijun 2012-04-13 | Elegy is a piece I wrote for a former student who passed away suddenly earlier this year. Another student, after listening to the composition, said that it didn't sound tragic enough for an elegy; however when I was writing the song, I was trying to avoid a heavy, tragic feel. The circumstances were already sad enough, so I wanted to a lighter touch to reflect her cheerful, sweet nature while alive. Though it is a personal song, I have decided to include it in the background music collection (as a way of spreading her song).
