about

“Course of the Miraculous” was an interesting experience for Wang Wen as it was the first time we recorded a movie soundtrack. Even more interesting is that we completely improvised the soundtrack to a musical theme based on the movie.

Before we set about putting this project in motion (the result of which you are holding in your hand right now), we first had a quick read-through of the movie's screenplay. But our part in this story didn't fully begin until when we set foot on the stage at the ARong space on May, 2015.

The week before the performance, Gen Xin (Wang Wen's guitarist) and I went to check out the space where we'd be playing. I remember it being 30 degrees in Beijing at the time and we just got back from a European tour and had no sleep from the night before. We took a van to the address we were given and when we got there we had no clue where the hell we were. Everything felt surreal.

But things started to look up after we set eyes on the ARong space. The huge 1000 square meter stage surrounded by a 'vast ocean' (an in-door pond that the ARong space crew had created). After seeing this, we felt a huge wave of inspiration come over us and any ideas we previously had for this performance went right out the window. From then on the theme was the 'vast ocean'.

We began reading the script over and over again and watched countless montages of the movie's edits. In the end, we decided to create 4 different scenarios and tie them together with an improvised music set.

We performed on the 31st of May, 2015, at 2pm. From the moment the seven of us stepped on that stage with our instruments, standing over the water, we felt as though we were tiny boats on the vast blue sea, sounding our calls in the face of the relentless wind and waves.

We embarked on this journey at our Library (Echo Books) in Dalian when it was deep into the cold winter. During that time, all of our warmth and creativity went into the vinyl your holding now.

Huge thanks to everyone who help made this happen: ChengRan, SunYi, Deng Chenglong, Chen Nan, He'an, Xiao Ke, Robin, Wang Yanan and Liao Zhihui.

Sleepmakeswaves is one of the best bands out there that blend ethereal tracks with other tracks with beautiful interlaced guitar playing, as if both players are feeding off of the energy of the other, creating a massive and powerful energy that cannot be stopped! This is one fantastic record, and is easily one you can put the whole album on and love every single song. Charlie Mayer
