失焦与眼 既灼热又冷漠的 大致是 夏日的 把蝉翼扔进冰柜 再撕碎 We’re all losing shapes We’re all being painted gray 失焦与眼 她的 我的 大致是 随性的 不断地重复 再陷入虚无 We’re all losing shapes We’re all being painted gray

Man O' War 02:56
My Jellyfish told me He was forced to be a man, then died The stars float, the planets go What’s left to mold? When the ego explodes Bury the light, hide in the crowd Whirling around, the afterglow A sensitive soul, a broken bone That’s what they saw — the ashes galore

Their manifestation runs wild in my head I can not stop my own rumination until it fades away But my belly can tell That my feelings won’t be healed (At all) And my belly can tell That my thoughts were never real I’m looking for the waves and beach and the sounds I’m looking for the dreams and the scars (they don’t wanna be found) I’m looking for the pains and the loves and the bounds And I’m looking for the, looking for I’m looking for the waves and beach and the sounds I’m looking for the dreams and the scars (they don’t wanna be found) I’m looking for the, I’m looking for I don’t wanna feel this way All these fake memories, fake memories, fake memories It can’t be real Like a stone, like an empathy stone I don’t know what I’m like 快跑 快跑 快跑 快跑 冷静 冷静 再冷静 冷静 带上行装 带上思想 快跑 快跑 快跑 快跑 再冷静 冷静

可否虚构一个存在于未来,却同时折射现世的乐园?
—— 在地球与月亮之间,本以为我们可以逃离陆地生活,最终也难逃世俗,秦铭 vii M 用音乐构建一方净土。

「 Sublunary 」

一个蓝绿紫色的生存空间,空气介质是介于水底世界和无氧大气层之间的一种“新氧”。 人们的意识形态在这个世界是散乱混沌的,所有思想漂浮在这种介质里。每一个人都戴着一顶玻璃头盔,头盔外的介质里发生着所有的生活背景音、思想沟通,对话是流动的:每一微秒,人与人之间的意识交流在“新氧”里被瞬时完成沟通。为了在这片信息量庞杂且没有秘密的空间里生存并保有最后一点纯粹,头盔内部是一个真空的、仅播放音乐的小空间,一个只属于自我的独立的世界。

“万物归一,我只想去理解,去体验,去创造,去把所有感官贪婪地放大。“

专辑《Sublunary》为这个虚构的空间而作,更是为这个头盔里仅存的最纯粹的声音而作。“新氧”渗透其中,连接着汪洋成片的地球与干燥的月球,融合着两个空间的性格:一边是潮湿熟悉的梦境与原始感知,恣意流动;一边是紧绷与拉扯,静默的凝视。它们交织为十首情绪复杂的作品,展示着“月下尘世”的幻象,创作人 秦铭 vii M 是讲述者也是漫游者。

纠缠,进化,演变,未来或现世,一场永无止境的追逐游戏。

Can we imagine a paradise that exists in the future, but reflects the present time simultaneously?

—— vii M attempts to build a nirvana between earth and moon where people are still trapped in the mundanity despite of their wish to escape from the earthly life.

<Sublunary>

Blended with both underwater and anaerobic texture, a Prussian blue living space filled with an air called “New Oxygen”. People’s consciousness is scatterdly floating in this medium. A glass helmet is crucial for survival, while all the background sounds and communications are automatically transmitted outside the helmet. In order to survive and maintain the remaining bit of purity and privacy in the midst of it all, a music-only vacuum space is secured for our own independency inside the helmet.

“One for all, to comprehend, to experience, to create. I just want to magnify all my sensations to the max.”

<Sublunary> is conceptualized for this fictional space, but is also composed for the purest sound left inside the helmet. Penetrating the boundless ocean, earth, and dry moon, “New Oxygen” merges the characters of two spaces: one is flooded with humid dream and primitive perception, while the other stretches across the horizon with tensions and suppressed emotions. Those two intertwined planes become ten emotionally-complicated pieces, exhibiting the illusionary image of “a world beneath the moon”. vii M is both a narrator and a wanderer.

Entanglement, evolution, transformation. The future or the present. An endless chasing game.

Born in Chengdu, Ming Qin (vii M) is a Shanghai-based independent music producer, bassist and DJ.

After relocating to Shanghai since 2021, Ming Qin started to be known as “vii M” for her solo project and live performances. She wanders through the mysterious and trippy grooves, drifting within the experimental and rich sounds. In her creative process, by combining both digital and analog, acoustic and electronic elements, she blurs the established structures, unveiling the imageries hidden behind the sonics.

In 2022, by bringing her inner self forward, vii M deepens her connections between identity and music. She planned to release her debut album <Sublunary>, that’s filled with mellow basslines, organic synth sounds and muttered spoken words to conjure up an electronica cosmos . These pieces were inspired by this concept “a world beneath the moon”, a whimsical and sonically diverse journey, a collision of polarization, gradually coming into her own.
