Habits

Japanese artist Xie's debut single, "Long Life" is a track that truly expresses his raw emotions. It delicately conveys his feelings of uncertainty and anxiety about daily life, capturing how he personally faces these challenges. Xie took on every aspect of the creation process, from writing and composing to mixing and mastering. The result is a track that's simple yet subtle, perfectly complemented by his warm, deep bass vocals. It's a refreshing song that also carries a nostalgic feeling, striking a balance between the new and the familiar.

Long life

C'est La Vie

Xiè is a unit comprising the poetry reciter and dancer, Keisei, and the sound designer, Hagi. Keisei's superb recitation techniques and expressive ability are made one with sound through Hagi's meticulous programming, creating a vast and highly detailed soundscape. 
Poetry recitation is a traditional Japanese art, known as shigin. 
Shigin is usually performed accompanied only by the koto (zither) and shakuhachi (bamboo flute).  Xiè's fusing the voice with computer programming-generated ethnic and ambient sounds is therefore a first, giving rise to a new style of the art. Also, while shigin is based mainly on Chinese poems (kanshi), and Japanese poems (waka and haiku), which are intoned according to Japan's native musical scale, with Keisei's ideas Xiè expresses a poetic world unbound by conventions.
