经 | 第二期：w/Ohyung（恐惧、体化与和解） - 卡壳 Cacotopia

天地之间，众生繁衍，诸植物异花授粉，动物身姿变幻无穷，猛兽亦雌雄莫辨，都与人类在无限的空间中共存，物质和现象也在不断流动交换。身体所传达的，是宇宙的形状与逻辑，总是多孔而四溢，既统一了阴阳，又超越了死亡与欢愉。透过激进的假想，我们将打破认知壁垒、祛除感知障碍，阐明一种与陈腐想象中截然不同的未来。我们的思考以星球为尺度，与周遭环境亲密无间，意在营造一种安全、欢愉、感性的共栖地。

本播客从属于未来主人持续进行中的题为《经》（Scripture）的小说写作项目。《经》是一部以《山海经》为灵感的思辨虚构作品。小说以两条线索展开：其中名为“钦原”的极微飞行生物凭谋杀穿透神话地理。在另一个世界，主角则是景德镇陶艺人的儿子，她以女儿身游荡于纽约及安特卫普，手上沾满了无法溶解的泥。《经》的中英文章节将与播客同步发布。

Cross-pollinated species, transmutable beings, androgynous beasts and humans thrive in the infinite space between heaven and earth, where matter and phenomena are in a constant flow of exchange. Body, as an expression of the shape and logic of the cosmos, is cultivated with porosity and fluidity, unifies yin and yang, transcends beyond death and pleasure. Through progressive speculation,we break epistemic entrapment and sensory deprivation to articulate a future beyond popular cliches. We think on a terrestrial scale to form an intimate solidarity with our surroundings, to hold space for a safe, pleasurable and emotive cohabitation.

This podcast belongs to Future Host’s on-going writing project “Scripture”. “Scripture” is a book of speculative fiction inspired by The Book of Mountains and Seas, an ancient Taoist classic. The fiction unfolds in two directions: Qinyuan, a diminutive bee-bird, sexes and assassinates its way out of the mythological landscape. In another world, the son of a master potter from Jingdezhen wanders in the western world as SHE, with insoluble mud on her hands. Chapters from “Scripture” will be released in English and Chinese concurrently with the podcast.

我想你会和我一样惊讶：李明德（Ohyung）的声音平和而温柔，与在ta舞台上的表现反差巨大，而ta的音乐制作更是雄心勃勃、不拘一格。很少有人像李明德一样真诚、天然又不屑修饰。Ta告诉我，为了现场表演，ta得把身体融入到自己写的歌词里。在录音室里，我俩都结结巴巴的，冒名顶替者综合症（imposter syndrome）在话语间隙发作。我们讨论了身体、恐惧，还有释放。本集将收录Ohyung的3首曲目，为了达到最佳效果，请调大音量，并用厕纸塞住你们的耳朵。robrus.li

I’m amazed and I think you will be too. How Ohyung’s peaceful and temperamental voice contrast with their stage presence, let alone their ambitious, eclectic music production. There is no one like Ohyung, so sincere, unpretentious and unfiltered. They told me that in order to perform live, they fused themselves with the lyrics they wrote. Together we stuttered so much in the recording. Our shared imposter syndrome showed up in the gaps between our words. We discussed embodiment, fear and leaving behind. 3 tracks from Ohyung will be featured in the episode, turn up the volume, and cover your ears with toilet paper for the best effect. robrus.li
