Kayla Briët Instagram – hi hii! 🍊 i have been in japan spending time with the loveliest humans and in calm little forest parks tucked away in the city..preparing for what will be the next adventure.
soon I’ll head to China for a @foundsound music diplomacy fellowship, sponsored by the US Dept State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. For the entire month of July, I will be one of 3 US musicians joining 3 Chinese musicians. We’ll meet for the first time in Lijiang (Yunnan Province), exchange music and production techniques. Then for two weeks, we will split off into groups and travel where our heart leads us, writing & capturing sounds and samples along the way. At the end of the month, we will reunite in Beijing where we’ll rapidly produce and rehearse what we’ve captured and perform it live in multiple venues across the city.
this will be my first time visiting China. there’s so much I am curious about in the realm of folk/classical music that has been preserved, each major city’s unique music scene, and learning about each fellow’s process… (and hope I can visit the provinces where my family comes from too)
i feel like a very lucky human to soon be learning about music and culture this way & to share this with you in July ✨🌸 pc: @alisafujimori @emiksn from our sunny day in kamakura together | Posted on 22/Jun/2018 07:23:19
