One of the working titles (since I missed the October 15 anniversary date of the flight) was "Self-Portrait of an Early-Career Theoretical Physicist". It ended up seeming too long for my liking. https://open.spotify.com/album/6rc3ftxFuGVi4orZIbq3tA

Afar – Prologue
快把星光盛进篮子，按下宇宙的暂停键！在无尽沉寂中，等待下一个“顷刻”。 无人歌颂时间，他们只是在时间里歌唱。 ——也让我静止，像一叠曝光的胶片，你可尽情在画面之间涂抹。 ——也让我静止，这样在下一个顷刻，你就能尝试解开我心中的结。它由无数时序的思绪交织而成，人们已然称之为生命本身。 ——也让我静止，这样可以提醒我哪怕形如短暂的，一丝顾虑，一份彷徨，时光中崩解的沙质城堡，也是不可回溯的远方，无价的珍宝。 Quickly gather starlight in a basket,and press the universe's Pause button!In endless stillness,await the next “instant." No one sings praises to time;they merely sing within it. -- And now make me still,like a stack of exposed film.So you can freely smudge between frames. -- And now me still.So in the … Continue reading Afar – Prologue

Iridium Point Goes to 1st International Symposium on Quantum Computing and Musical Creativity
Well, Y. F. Wang, PhD student at the Auckland U’s physics department is going. I don’t think my (computational) musical misadventures deserve any recognitions yet. This Event is hosted by University of Plymouth in late November, and features many downstream Quantum info professionals at places such as Cambridge Quantum Computing Lab and IBM. My notes … Continue reading Iridium Point Goes to 1st International Symposium on Quantum Computing and Musical Creativity

A Walk In The Garden – IrPt
Not all songs deserve a blog mention, but this one I specifically have a dream-inspired short story to follow up in late 2020. https://soundcloud.com/irpt/august-22-2020-a-walk-in-the-garden-little-people And indeed, in that dream, I read a novella named "Little People" at a mishmash international airport, waiting to venture somewhere afar (and COVID-19-free). At least part of the story plays … Continue reading A Walk In The Garden – IrPt
