My Original Music and the Stories Behind 

What to Do and Closer are songs I wrote in 2020. It was a time when I could only do all the things in my room by myself. It was also my first experience of music production. That was a fun experience. I tried to use a lot of jazz elements in these two songs, everything I learned in school, because by the time I was a college student, who tried to make sure my tuition was worth paying. I used a lot of electronic sounds to enrich the layers of Closer, trying to make it fresh and dreamy by adding a lot of pitched percussion. such as bells, a triangle, etc. 

More Original music is
coming soon. Please stay tuned.

BUT in the middle of writing Closer, I got very frustrated by the complexity of Closer. Then I started a "easier and more fun" project, which is What to Do. I finished WTD in maybe a couple of days. It turns out I later feel like WTD would be a better fit for the title track in Summer Poem. Maybe because the process of writing was smoother, I love WTD because the song wasn't "forced or hard-trying". Please tell me which one you like better when you have a chance to meet me in person or catch me at my gigs.
