7Xian | Sunset Rooftop Impromptu | Instrumental Fusion | World Music

࿊
"7Xian" is a music improvisation project based in Chengdu China, with a focus on integrating world music. The concept draws inspiration from the well-known Chinese traditional cultural allusion of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove." They aim to bring a unique musical experience to the audience by combining modern sound technology and performance methods guided by the wisdom of their ancestors. As a collective music project, they embrace the distinctive symbolic meaning of the number "seven," creating different musical compositions based on circumstances during creation and performance.
࿊
The musicians of "7Xian" are individual independent musicians in their daily lives. When they come together, they collectively explore sound chemistry triggered by mutual listening within an abstract and open framework.
࿊
The musical exploration of "7Xian" centers around improvisation, a method widely applied in various musical activities yet seemingly least recognized and understood. This contrast might be the driving force behind their exploration of this art form. Improvisation is ever-changing, adjusting, and defies fixed patterns, making it challenging to analyze and precisely describe. It represents unpredictable sounds, those that should be listened to carefully and then forgotten—freedom in playing music at any moment, instinctive expression, a shared journey, and transcendence.
