Abstract
There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about. Inspired by this Oscar Wilde quote, Li Qian channels his thoughts and emotions through music in his album, "Human De-evolution." This work reflects his perspectives on contemporary social, political, technological, cultural, and human issues. The concept of "De-evolution" encapsulates Li's complex feelings and attitudes towards these matters. In a world characterized by rapid technological advancements and abundant information, have we perhaps started to prioritize the wrong things? Through this album, he aims to provoke deep reflection and soul-searching. Li wrote, composed, arranged, mixed, and produced the entire album himself, infusing his emotions and thoughts into every detail. The album is a seamless fusion of his favorite music styles. Creating this album has allowed him to refine his songwriting and production skills, further fueling his creative passion.
