Responses to “Qing-Yang Xiao”

One of the greatest designer I know. His album design works are something you can keep in your life. Every once a while you take out, they bring back to you all the memmories… 03/13/2012 at 7:35 pm


DESCRIBE YOUR NOMINATED WORK:
75 years ago, Macy’s grandfather left his family behind, boarding a boat in Keelung port in Taiwan heading for Osaka in Japan in pursuit of his dream as a jazz saxophonist, and he died there….75 years later, Macy, disappointed at her career as backup vocalist in Taiwan, decided to follow his grandfather’s footstep. She hopped on a plane, all alone, going to New York to pursuit her dream to make jazz music. Thus born the record After 75 Years. When I heard of this story, I realized this record is not just about music. It is also dream, memory, and passion. It is a journey across time and place, linked by family bond that was translated into 6 letters that travelled through the time and music. The envelops, stamps, papers, boats, pen handwriting, Japanese and Chinese characters, photos, and the last email. All of the proof that told the hidden secrets of the family touched me immensely and let me sink into deep thoughts. The one-year-and-half work was enjoyable, especially because it gave me a chance for the first time to fly from Asia to New York to bask in the soulful jazz music of local jazz bars. Only then did I realize the feeling of Macy’s grandfather when he embarked on that lonely trip chasing after his dream.

HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED WITH THIS PROJECT?
When Macy flew from New York to Taipei to talk to me, sharing the music and story with me, I suddenly realized that this time I would not be just a designer but a director to re-create those memories of dreams on printed paper. The process of patching different memories and stories into one whole piece once made me feel melancholy too. But the result gave me much more happiness.

WHAT WAS THE CONCEPT & PROCESS? DID YOU & THE BAND COLLABORATE?
In fact, Macy’s team had already done a design in New York. But one day, Macy accidentally saw an interview of me on TV talking about my works and ideals, she decided to engage me. She flew all the way from New York to Taipei and persuaded me into doing it. She has more confidence in me and myself, believing that I would translate the deep emotions and music of east and west into an artistic expression. The profound love and courageous pursuit of dream moved me so much that I decided to take this job. Without the same devotion and conviction, I couldn’t have made it cause my pay was already used up by the time I found the photographer and copywriter and flew to New York for the shooting!

WAS THE DESIGN/IMAGE YOU CREATED USED IN ANY OTHER PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS FOR THE ARTIST? PLEASE DESCRIBE:
Packaging design isn’t just sugar-coating. I always think that if one can express his heart through music, the packaging design should also deliver the emotions and thoughts of the music. It should touch people’s heart just like the melodies inside of it.

DESCRIBE WHAT IT WAS LIKE WORKING WITH THE MUSICAL ARTIST:
Each time I work with musicians, I feel like experiencing a different life. I enjoy listening and this has enriched my life.

WHAT OTHER INDEPENDENT MUSIC PROJECTS HAVE YOU WORKED ON?
Though I have always lived in the island of Taiwan I can listen to western music and the creative works via radio and other media. All these have become my nutrition and I always try to integrate various elements to create something new and unique. After 28 years in the business, the chance to always do something i haven’t yet done before keeps my passion alive and the opportunities to work with different talents are sheer pleasure to me. My works might seem more independent than independent. I did design for an album which features two grandmas from an indigenous tribe recording their tribe music in Spain. Another album features a children choir led by a principal at an elementary school located at a 1000-meter-high mountain in praise of God. Or a genius boy who hasn’t grown since the 5th grade flied from a small village on Taiwan’s east coast to Vienna to look for his dream. And there’re more…..Last time, I was very honored to receive the best packaging design from IMA for Island Story. To celebrate it, local government at my hometown held a press conference for me, allowing me to share my thoughts with the world. I made a vow there and then, saying that “I’d want to go farther into the mountains or the seaside to do the design. I want to contribute my skills and capabilities to those who still have dreams for music, even in the remote countryside.” The nomination of After 75 Years once again helped me realize my dream.

WHICH MUSICIAN’S WOULD YOU LIKE TO WORK WITH NEXT?
I’ve done it for 28 years in this island and now I’d like to work with musicians outside of my country. I haven’t done anything like reggae, punk, folk, world music, contemporary, blues, trance, break beat, big-beat, etc. As long as it’s something different, I’d like to give it a try.

WHAT ROLE WILL ALBUM ART/PHOTOGRAPHY PLAY IN A DIGITAL/STREAMING WORLD?
The age of digital music highlights the importance of physical texture of the packaging design. Like After 75 Years, if you haven’t touched it and flipped it though, you couldn’t have enjoyed it as much.

HOW HAVE CHANGES IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY AFFECTED YOUR CAREER & ART?
From 80s to now, the world has gone from vinyl, cassettes, walkman, CD, to MP3 and more. The evolution from analogue to digital music as well as the device has also made me grow. But whatever the tool is, I think man is born to sing. That will not never change.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO SUBMIT TO THE 11TH IMAS?
My friend in the US helped me apply for the competition of last year and this year. I changed my mind of not wanting to venture out. Now I want to share my works with people all around the world.

WHAT PHOTOGRAPHERS/GRAPHIC DESIGNERS/ARTISTS INSPIRE YOU?
They have different antenna that transmits different message than I do. Collaborating with them help me develop imagination I never had before. I love working with those geeks. Each time, we make each other’s eyes wide open!

WHAT’S YOUR MOST MEMORABLE ACHIEVEMENT TO DATE?
In 1995, I was the first Asian ever to be dominated for packaging design at Grammy. Ever since then, I’ve started to promote those records that would have otherwise gone unnoticed.

FINISH THIS SENTENCE: THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IS… WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN THE WORKS FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR?
The music industry is about dream and passion. After finished the 2-year project of Story Island and one-year-and-an-half After 75 Years‘, I am now looking forward to meeting with musicians that share the same passion and dream as me.

405 Method Not Allowed | #GDJYB 雞蛋蒸肉餅

Common faces she wears a common make-up
Common lives live in a common way
Common hobbies and common people
We are all printed on a digital page
Duplicated lives Duplicated loves
Who duplicated the ones who duplicated us
Reading the same code watching the same scene
Who shout out loud and breaks the sky in dreams

Someone is chasing behind me
Like a shadow like a copy
Something wrong about this city
Like a nightmare like a cage

Some sell their souls
Some trade for their lives
Staggering under the light
Who will take the flight
Some chase for meaning
Some run from lies
Some can’t even find a reason why
Till the day they die

Someone is chasing behind me
Like a shadow like a copy
Something wrong about this city
Like a nightmare like a cage
Someone is watching over me
Like a spider like a crow
Something evil is happening here
Like a black hole like a curse
Someone please show me where I should go
Just don’t go left and don’t go right
I can’t find the way to leave
Like a nightmare like a cage
I can’t find the way to leave
Like a nightmare like a cage
Like a cage

今日はAlexandrosの「ワタリドリ」を英語で歌ってみました♪
私は、この曲の歌詞についてとても共感しました。
意味については川上洋平さんのブログで詳しく書いてありますので、「歌詞」という所を読むことをおすすめします！

英語版をエンジョイしてください(^O^)

English cover of Wataridori by Japanese and Alexandros.
According to the band, part of the message of this song is that you can look to others for inspiration, but once the inspirational speech, song, or whatever is over, it's up to you and only you to take action. This resonates with me a lot.

I hope you enjoy the English version :)

I wanna fly so high
Yeah, I know my wings are dried
People are always saying, “Just spread your wings”
But when it’s done, reality has won
Some people soar and the others descend

Nobody spares a glance, no one gives us a chance
That hasn’t stopped me, I’ve kept soaring high
‘Cause I wanna take the words
That have hurt you away into the sky

With our eyes on the future, we’ll fly
Chasing after dreams, making them known
On the nights we seek answers and cry
Our town shines brighter than it’s ever shone

We’ll fly away like we’re migrating birds
Start on a journey
We’ll make sure that our story is heard
Even if it’s a fantasy

I wanna fly so far away with my guitar
Everyone’s always singing, “You are not alone”
I don’t think they’re wrong, or that it’s wishful thought
I just choose not to rely on blind hope

Nobody lends an ear, or even cares to hear
But I have kept on singing my song
‘Cause I wanna make you smile
‘Til the pain that consumes you is gone

I will send you a wind at your tail
Let it guide your way to your rainbow
Throw all yesterday’s burdens away
As I carry you into tomorrow

We’ll fly away like we’re migrating birds
Flocking as one
Our audacious quartet will be heard
‘Til we have played our final song

All this time we come and we grow
And now it's time that we should go
But we both know that this is for sure
It's not the end of the world
Well, see you one day

With our eyes on the future, we’ll fly
Chasing after dreams, making them known
On the nights we seek answers and cry
The bright dawning sun bathes us in its glow

And one day just like we’re migrating birds
We will return here
But only after our story is heard
And then we’ll meet again someday

Thank you to "Aki Glancy" that you are my inspiration for singing this song :D

Lyrics

Can you see me now?
This whole place is just a ghost town
And I can't stop myself from falling
All of the colors fading into gray
As all my tears wash them away

Blue and Red and White mixing
All alone I'm just screaming
Out to anyone who will listen
Chasing after a dream that won't come true
Is that what you want me to do?

And how much will it cost me to?

Can you see me breaking down?
I can feel I'm breaking down
All I want is to go on
with breathing
But watching as I'm deleted
Just like all those dreams I believed in
My final words are stuck in ERROR

Gazing out of my window
Dancing light in overflow
Reaching out my hand just to touch it
To you, your life's a game of pick and choose
But I'm the one left feeling used

Floating in the atmosphere
Nothings quite what it appears
Melting into seas of conscience
Is this the world you wanted me to see?
Forgotten in a fantasy

The cost is just too much for me

Can you see me breaking down?
I can feel I'm breaking down
All I want is to go on
with breathing
But watching as I'm deleted
Just like all those dreams I believed in
My final words are stuck in ERROR

Sinking into sadness
I'm giving in to madness
You know it's what you've brought me to
One thing left to do
Turn around and face
This sick creature that you made
Now please bring it to an end
Before I kill again

Can you see me breaking down?
I can feel I'm breaking down
Painful tears fall to the ground
I'm Dying
But watching as I'm deleted
Just like all those dreams I believed in
For one last time I will sing it
Until I fade into a world of grey

Can you see me breaking down?
I can feel I'm breaking down
All I want is to go on
with breathing
But watching as I'm deleted
Just like all those dreams I believed in
My final words are stuck in ERROR
