Guo Caijie likes Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder (Rolling Thunder Tour), without a high profile, she performs in ordinary places such as small theaters and small auditoriums. When recruiting musicians to join the tour, Bob Dylan's sales pitch was: "I want to make something different... Like the kind performed by the circus. "The nomadic city is an energy, there is no exclusivity, no contract, the music sounds, everyone plays each other, and it is released freely.
"A step that I thought was particularly difficult,
But it happened so naturally."

"Come and live." One of the intervals in the interview, Guo Caijie said.
She is preparing for her next music tour. The performance, which was scheduled for August 7, had to be cancelled due to the epidemic, and she described the previous rehearsal situation, "the adrenaline has reached its peak" and "everyone is going home and lying down again.". "Come to the scene" means that she answers all questions in the moment. What does the scene look like? "It's kind of interesting." "The audience may be curious and not know what you're playing, but it seems a little different," she said. ”

This difference is the reason why she is willing to take out an apple and let everyone look at it. The time is pushed back to 2015, when Guo Caijie released the album "Love to Make Flying Chickens", which is her favorite song covered. She gave a little show in the park and sang a lot of songs that served as "background music" at some point in her life. She knew in her heart that it was a farewell to music and a loosening of her identity as a singer. "It just doesn't feel interesting" – as a person standing in front of the stage, she has very little involvement in music production, and she prefers to abandon this expression and retreat the music to the position of "what I like to listen to", "I am also satisfied with that." ”
The identity of "singer Guo Caijie" once again appeared on the stage, four years later. At the Strawberry Music Festival, she performed with her singer friend Ah Yan, on a stage that had been said goodbye for a long time, without warming up, as soon as she dipped the music, she "boiled", and she realized that she really longed to sing in front of everyone.
The second boiling was in the variety show "Let's Band Together", where she served as the orchestra leader. I thought that I would be nervous about reconnecting with the identity of the musician, but the worry did not appear at all, and I was very excited from the first day. At the time, ARNY, the lead singer and guitarist of the band Constantine Change Ball, told her, let's make music together, but she found it difficult to take that step. "I've already envisioned that my attempt would disappoint me, so I'd rather not start this step." Write something once in a while and keep it for yourself." Returning to the identity of "Guo Caijie", she is at home and will spend more time shooting videos and cutting videos. Yider, a musician he met on the band's show, suggested that the soundtrack could be changed from Guo Caijie's favorite music to music they made themselves. When she gave the film to Yider, he made the frame of the arrangement, she wrote the lyrics according to the atmosphere of the music, and it all began. "This stuff exhilarates me. What had been a particularly difficult step happened so naturally. ”
"Anyway, I've got to go this way"

Thirteen years into the industry, "Vol.13 - 1986 Counting Sheep" appeared, an album that belonged entirely to Guo Caijie. Guo Caijie, who reappeared as a singer, said: "It happened at this point in time, and it happened to be particularly comfortable. The first song of the album, she chose "I Have an Apple", and she felt that the apple was like a human soul. Everyone comes into this world and faces a fixed game routine, we may follow the rules of the game, but the characteristics of our soul will not change. She felt that her trait was that no matter what she was going through, the rules of the game could not dampen her desire to give.

"Now a lot of people will think that I chose a partial path to highlight my own particularity, but no matter what, I have to go through this section of the road." If everyone is interested, re-acquaint themselves with Guo Caijie. "To re-recognize Guo Caijie, it is best in 2020. It was the first time Guo Caijie had "been a nomadic" to "other cities": she had left Taipei, China, where she had lived since birth, and settled in Beijing with a suitcase and two cardboard boxes.
At this moment, the car is driving to downtown Beijing in the dark, and on the trajectory of uniform movement, she depicts her past footprints. She was born in the Wen diocese in the south of Taipei, China, until her mother left, moved to the "Fangchuan Coal Mine" where her grandparents lived; when she was studying, she went to the "consistent school", and the classmates she knew were always a fixed wave of people; to go to college, peers finally had a grand reason to go far away, she still chose to stay at home; the people she worked with were cooperative for more than 10 years, never changed, she needed such a sense of security. "I've always felt that I can't leave Taipei City, China. No, I have to stay home. If I go out too, there will be no one in the house. I have this thought in my mind. ”

Last year, she identified the possibility of her nomadic herself and decided to settle in an unfamiliar city. In many interviews, she's talked about that sad reason, and now she's trying to talk about that departure in a more understated tone: wanting to change circumstances and go to a place where no one knows her. She didn't say goodbye to anyone, but she knew in her heart that she wouldn't return to the city she had known for a long time in a short time.
She sorted out a lot of things from the past and stayed where they were, like a sense of ceremony to say goodbye to her previous life. Packed simple luggage, some food, some simple clothes. She found that at the time of farewell, "the things that had to be taken away were so small."

There are very few things that construct and mark "Guo Caijie". She likes to buy second-hand clothes, most of which she has worn for a long time, and likes to wear them for more than ten years. In addition to a few clothes that she wore for a long time and had her own taste, she would bring with her a few books that she could read repeatedly. Among them are the novels of the Russian writer Chekhov, whom she likes, whose sense of humor makes her laugh out loud when she reads a book alone; and the poet Li Jinwen's "More Pessimistic and More Pessimistic", which excites her. This time, she also brought a collection of poems by the Chinese writer Zhou Mengdi, and when she was not so restless, she could taste the romance of the text.
In Beijing, Guo Caijie, who is seen by everyone, wears a large T-shirt and carries a cloth bag, and wanders around her home. "Actually, I don't go out." She explains, "I always felt that if one day I became familiar with a new place, there would be a feeling of betrayal of myself. ”

She talked about her last home. In front of you is a tall building, turning your back, and behind it is an old street. On that old street, there are familiar fruit stall owners and laundromat owners, and the sense of "neighborhood" is strong. She always wanted to retain that human touch, and that was the reason she stopped in a city. A few days ago, many friends went to the place where she now lived, and on that day, she was very relaxed, and suddenly felt a little sad, and she noticed, "Wow, this place seems to be my home." ”
She gradually fell in love with the city. Because of the climate that does not dry after washing the dishes for a while, it is very direct to communicate with people. She took her driver's license and visited beijing's monuments. Every time she had a break in time, she had more time to stay home. She felt that everything in the past was twisted together like a hairball, and now, all the entanglements were loosened, and everything was brand new. "It's the feeling of being able to go forward on your own, to run forward, to go to more different places with brisk steps. In such a long career, those who have not been able to practice themselves can try it. Because the footsteps are light, there is no restraint. ”
"The team moved on,
The goal is far beyond the morning star."

The nomadic Guo Caijie, another new ownership is her own music label, Nomad City Records. It is the cradle of her work with musician Yider and visual interaction artist Chen Ze'an.
Guo Caijie likes Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder (Rolling Thunder Tour), without a high profile, she performs in ordinary places such as small theaters and small auditoriums. When recruiting musicians to join the tour, Bob Dylan's pitch was: "I want to make something different... Like the kind performed by the circus. "The nomadic city is an energy, there is no exclusivity, no contract, the music sounds, everyone plays each other, and it is released freely.

The musician Yider was born in Inner Mongolia and is familiar with the state of nomadic life. As the seasons change, cattle and sheep eat grass at a fixed point for a while, and the nomads leave a fixed point. "The music I have been exposed to since I was a child, the music I have longed for, everything in my bones is related to nomadism, and it is this spirit that has always carried me forward."
In Yider's mind, making labels is a kind of protection for everyone's sense of belief, "We are a group of artists getting together to give each other things, everyone is an individual, and the power of touching together may be greater." 」 Everyone creates friction and grows together, conveying what we feel we can do and like."

Visual interaction artist Chen Ze'an doesn't like to define what kind of picture is suitable for a nomadic city. "It feels like taking a ruler to measure the table, unless you believe in the ruler, otherwise measuring the table is also measuring the ruler with the table." I think everything is relative. Guo Caijie has long seen Chen Ze'an's works, and at the performance scene of electronic musician Howie Lee, chen Ze'an created pictures and music combined to form a powerful energy.
In Chen Ze'an's world, all the sounds will give him a scene, "Guo Caijie's voice gives me a feeling of fishing by the lake." He described that there were floats in the scene, fish below biting bait, and as soon as they pulled, there were ripples on the surface of the lake. Guo Caijie's voice made him focus on the buoy, so the ripples would be particularly shocking when they appeared.
Guo Caijie feels that with the pictures produced by Chen Ze'an, the music of her and Yider's two albums is more harmonious. "This collision will make you feel particularly ingenious, more unexpected than if you were to set something up concretely." The 'dish' he gives will be amazing, and you will recognize the 'ingredients', but because it is fused with his own things in it, it is one of the most unique works. ”
At the moment, there are countless messages that are pushed to everyone every day, and what they do is aimed at changing some aspect of the world? No. Guo Caijie just hopes to be able to make her own work, stay there, maybe one day will be seen, heard, and bring the influence of the work, pry a little something.
"We're eager to put on a show, to share what we think is good, and to see what it resonates with." Just watch as you go. Guo Caijie added. She liked the Irish poet Yeats's "Whenever You're in the Desert," which ends with the words—"The procession goes on, with the goal far beyond the morning star." Before the morning star appears, move on.
