Hūxī signifie respirer en chinois. Il est à la fois souffle et architecture dans laquelle est contenue cette respiration - au même titre que l’orgue contient en lui une soufflerie et que le corps contient des poumons. Il est un espace où tout est figé ; le temps mais aussi l’arc et sa flèche. C’est un moment de méditation, d’introspection où l’action n’est plus de mise.

-----------------------------------------------

Hūxī means breathe in Chinese. It’s an important concept in their traditional medicine, that is close to Qi. The EP was highly inspired by both the blow and the architecture that contains it - an organ blows through wind tunnels, the body through its lungs. It’s a place where everything is fixed: time, the arc and its arrow. It’s a moment of meditation, of introspection, where action is no longer relevant.
