about

One Guitar, two amps, two different chains of effect pedals, cooperate with bassist Ikeda Kinya and drummer Weichung Lin; the setting presents an unordinary guitar trio sound.

Three jazz musicians had already been through performances in all kinds of forms for years, apart from talking about three of them's musical styles, when they perform together as a trio they seem blurred the boundary between the genre of Modern Jazz and Free Improvisation, accomplish their works in a unique and uncopyable way.

There is always interspace for listeners to project themselves in Ying-Da's tunes while all the music titles dropping suggestions; reaching ripple effects of emotions certainly takes a big part in their musical beliefs. Along with the subject, people who know Ying-Da's music in the past wouldn't surprise that the "Tragedy" is a fundamental musical concept again in this album "Do You Know Beige", oddly always being renaissance, but being experimental takes another big part in their interest too, they proved it can be put in the same place, and it should be.

In the end, talking about the album concept, talking about the Beige:

Beige.
Do you know beige?
It’s a color; the color of rice, of the desert,
of coffee. Coffee that is neither too strong nor too weak.
Truly ambiguous.

Beige has surely entered your life
Though rarely appreciated as a color.
Perhaps it’s an uncommon thought;
Perhaps it’s unworthy of your attention
But beige is there, always there.

This is a suite of music stemming from pain
When sorrow drowns your sensations, perilous cliffs arise.
Beige is a beam of kindness, and maybe even too kind,
that exists only on the edge of consciousness.
