about

Gentle Impermanence found its genesis through a 20-minute composed soundtrack woven in the throes of loss, blossomed into a full-fledged journey nurtured by Kloxii’s intimate encounter with grief, akin to a near-death experience, intertwined with the enigmatic dance of impermanence.

The album weaves a delicate tapestry of sound, serving as a testament to the fleeting nature of existence. The songwriting smoothly transitions between undefined intensity and ethereal calm, using ambient soundscapes and drawing inspiration from the essence of sadness intertwined with the hypnotic rhythms of trip-hop. It mirrors the changing emotions of the grieving journey, offering both comfort and a touch of scandal. Each track embarks on a voyage through the multi-dimensional landscape of Kloxii's world. Guided by her vocals and synth melodies, they conjure a vivid contrast and meticulous harmony, exploring the intricate interplay between questioning the nature of our world and the profound sense of being utterly shattered by the lack of control in our daily existence.

As an immersive experience, Gentle Impermanence leads the listener to confront the lingering echoes of loss while discovering their own gentleness and trance. The album's artistry lies in its ability to resonate deeply with the human experience, finding solace in the universal rhythm of permanent impermanence.

Gentle Impermanence，又稱《神遊間》，脫胎於失落與掙扎。在近乎瀕死感受的悲傷中，Kloxii 邂逅飄忽的「無常」，在與「無常」舞蹈般的糾葛中獲得滋養，將散失的音、律、韻和情，編織為一場完整的旅程。

這張專輯可以看作對「存在」易逝之本質的見證。它勾勒出的聲音織體異常纖細。歌曲在無名的激烈情緒和空靈的寧靜之息兩端自由擺蕩，有著類似環境音樂的氛圍，又從在苦澀中攪動的迷幻 trip-hop 節奏中汲取精華。Kloxii 的作曲與製作，映射了悲傷旅程中不斷變化的情感，予以安慰的同時又惹人不安。專輯中共 9 首歌曲，每一曲都自成一體，穿梭在 Kloxii 內心的多維度世界中。在人聲和合成器旋律的引領下，這些差異化的音樂共同呈現出有著細密反差紋理的和諧，為的是設下深刻的詰問：究竟我們世界的本質，以及我們對自己日常生存缺乏掌控的現實，是如何錯綜複雜地作用在一起的呢？

作為一種身臨其境的體驗，Gentle Impermanence 引導聽者直面失去和它舊不消散的餘音，並在這個過程中發現屬於自己的溫情和恍惚時刻。這樣一部作品的藝術魅力在於，它能夠與人們的情感產生深刻共鳴，讓每個人都能在永恆的無常中找到並不陌生的節奏，從而心生慰藉。

About Kloxii:

Kloxii Li (Kloh-shee-Lee) hailing from Hunan and Los Angeles, breathes life into the musical canvas of her new home in Berlin. Redefining her world through the fusion of her heritage and sonic creations on reflecting the essence of her own cultural memory. Blurring boundaries, she seamlessly interweaves East-West identities with her sound that evokes the eerie elegance spanning from Trip hop to ambient soundscapes, creating a cross-cultural sonic journey. Seeking to connect the listener to reveal a newfound understanding of her roots, while pushing the boundaries of her contemporary tonal palette.

Kloxii's production was first discovered by trip-hop artist Tricky, which led to a feature on his curated compilation Test of Time. This exposure opened doors to collaborations with labels including Lex Records, Houndstooth Records, Unguarded Berlin, and Modern Sky's Sound Blanc. It culminated in the release of her debut album Gentle Impermanence on the Beijing-base bié Records.

Additionally, Kloxii's ventures include co-hosting the radio show 'Near Momentary' on WWFM, an artist residency at Acud Macht Neu for Amplify Berlin, and creative mentorship with artists like Marie Davidson.

Beyond her musical endeavors, Kloxii Li is a driving force behind AN(8)x Berlin, an East and Southeast Asian audiovisual collective. Through this platform, she fosters hybrid collaborations that empower transcultural exchange while humbly celebrating the rich diversity of Asian heritages.

Kloxii Li（發音為「kloh-shee-lee」），來自中國湖南，如今在柏林多元的藝術天地中進行音樂創作，通過融合故土的傳統和創造性的聲音，重新定義個人的世界。她的作曲受到環境音樂、trip-hop 等廣泛音樂類型的啓迪，風格婉轉、多變；中英雙語切換自如的演唱，讓自己無縫游走在東西方身份之間。Kloxii 力求與聽眾建立深層次的連接，向所有人展現出多層次的反差——她的固有文化與她的所處環境，她的根源與她新的認知，不同的對立關係持續填充著她現代感十足的聲音調色盤，推動她不斷突破個人藝術表達的邊界。

Kloxii 的才華最初吸引了備受贊譽的 trip-hop 音樂人 Tricky 的注意。出於認可，Tricky 在個人策劃的合輯 Test of Time 中便收錄了她的作品。通過與包括 Lex Records、Houndstooth Records、Unguarded Berlin 和 Sound Blanc 等廠牌的合作，她積攢經驗，一再打磨自己的聲音，最終於北京的 bié Records 發行了首張全長專輯 Gentle Impermanence 神遊間。
