Dear Peiyou, friends

It was a v interesting meeting yesterday, am happy to have seen everybody and their workshops.

My own studio has always been a temporary set up, its set up for specific tasks, then removed and cleared for other things.  So I really cant show much in that aspect.

Next time, i will make more photos for records.

In preparing for the talk, I suddenly realized the path that I have taken.  

Its v precious to me that I could review what I did with you - so i could see more clearly the next coming steps.

Thank you v much for sharing the time, the players , the music and everybody's feedback.

Until covid is over, zoom is a great platform.

Hope to see everyone in real life in the future soon.

Warmest regards

Shuengit

The one hour presentation at the meeting which is in my archive could be retrieved in due time.

Thanks to the recording equipment prepared by Stephan Dydo, and video recording by ShuenMan Chow (aka Swansea San).  It was an extremely pleasant evening with everyone.

I had prepared a talk for the Nov. Qin Making event of NYQS:

 “Naming your Qin : Qin Making and naming your qin”, if you would like to read this paper, I could also present it briefly .  

Currently, I review very carefully how to advance for the next generation.  

Unlike wood, each step is best to be irreversible, I must think very thoroughly before beginning.

I might not be available for the online presentation because of some film work, depending on the dates.

Hope to be amongst you soon!

Warmest regards

Shuengit

Experimental Garden #2 : Day 1 Tian Qi 田七 = Chinese ginseng

 Experimental garden #2 : 田七 tianqi . Leaves can be eaten... (Chinese ginseng is the official translation, but its not ginseng.)

I covered up the little worm like "knobs" w earth.

Diy singing experiment : Day 37 24Oct 2021, Breathing trainer; Day 38 25oct 2021

Day 37 24Oct 2021

Diy singing experiment : Breathing trainer.  

Would this be useful for improving air output capacity? Let's try and see.

Day 37 24Oct 2021,

have not practiced singing QYN for several wks, here we are...

First, I introduce a new tool for breathing training, a version of this object was shown to me by a friend Amy S on fb.

After research, i learnt that to train lung capacity, you are to do the exercise w this 10x per hour. (for post lung surgery patients )

I am just doing it to see if I could increase my lung capacity.

At present, my capacity is at 1500 to 2000 depending on how focused I am.

More later.

Day 38 25Oct 2021
I think i know how to do it up to 2000. I must push and use all the muscles around diaphramme ( the part around wait just above hip bone) If i dont, i only can get up to 1700. max

I did it 3 or 4x per hour, for maybe 2 or 3 hrs.  Total:  12x yesterday
