#hwa4 #yingelishiparty the sound of guitar in police station sounds a little more sullen, connecting to the person's stressed and confused nature

#hwa4 #yingelishiparty my inference was right, it seems that a thief stole all of her belongings and her passport, so the turning point was something going wrong

#hwa4 #yingelishiparty tragedy strikes has a completely different sound right when it starts, which I feel like symbolizes maybe a turning point, or something going wrong

#hwa4 #yingelishiparty in Customs, the first part seems to be the person settling in and the second part kind of feels darker, especially the sound of the persons voice feels farther, not as clear

#hwa4 #yingelishiparty The section travel seems to be split up, but all in the same part, telling the same story, showing maybe a disconnect between the person traveling and those around her

#hwa4 #yingelishiparty Greetings, gratitude, and apologies all have one similar sound throughout the piece, but overall have a different feeling to it when listening

#hwa4 #yingelishiparty during the first poem when they say "watching the dark" it sounds as if dark is repeated twice, adding a more final effect

#hwa4 #yingelishiparty I don't think I would be able to decode what is being sung/said if there was not a translation provided, cause when reading the translation I can faintly hear the English

By the end, I paid a lot more attention to how they pronounce things, their tone, and their rhythm than I normally would. It showed me how much meaning can come from sound itself. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

Listening to this makes Stalling's idea about being between 2 languages makes sense because the sounds don't only come from one language. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

I like how the voice and instruments go hand in hand with each other, making it feel like more of a song than a poem. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty.

The repetition makes certain sounds stand out more, and after hearing them again I start hearing them differently. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

I notice the rhythm of the speakers voice. It helps not think of understanding what the words mean and just absorbing the sounds. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

The instruments make the voice feel more dramatic and give the sounds emotion and feeling even though I don't understand what they are saying. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

I feel like I should understand some of the sounds but they change before I fully recognize something. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

As I watch, her voice is getting lower and deeper as I continue. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty.

This makes so much sense because I can't tell what is English and what is Chinese. They are interestingly mixed sounds, words and just vibes. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

Wrapping up. Yingelishi made me realize that translation can build something new instead of just copying. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

The Chinese characters mean something completely different from the English they sound like. Two poems hiding in one. #hwa4 #yingelishiparty

I enjoyed the beat in Tragedy Strikes it was different than the rest of the parts in Yingelishi, and it switched out of this " nonsense mode, and I think a lot of meaning is being translated in this part #hwa4 #yingelishiparty
