“怎么去表达一团火？怎么去成为一株草？我的思维训练往往让我从文字开始，然而，有些连文字也无法穿透的部分，又该流向哪里？
“How to convey a ball of fire? How to become a blade of grass? The way I was trained to think means I begin with words – but when I encounter areas of life on which language has no hold, where should I turn?
在夜里，重复去问一个问题：不过一个稀松平常的日子，我所熟知的世界就一去不复返了吗？这样的经历在近两年屡次向我袭来，而相似经历也不言而喻地在近期席卷每个人。再怎样不情愿也好，要真正逃避的方法只有面对。启程至今，我终于意识到，创作对我最根本的作用是治疗。自2019年11月起，这张EP的制作时长跨度有一年半，其中有脆弱与愤怒的两极，而我本以为那是一种持久的抗衡，但我通过再次观察这些种子的形态，描绘出了日渐清晰的自画像。
At night I always come to the same question: on any givenordinary day, is the world I know gone forever? Over the last two years, such thoughts have struck me time and time again; it goes without saying that the question has swept everyone across the globe. But no matter how unwillingly, the only true way to escape the issue is to face it. Since beginning my journey with music, I've come to realize that, to me, the ultimate function of music is healing. I began this EP in November 2019, and it took me a year and a half to finish. In it are extremes of fragility and rage, which I used to regard as two sides in a kind of protracted struggle with each other. But by observing the seeds I've sown, every day my self-portrait comes a little more into focus.
——
我是火，也是草，我在不断熄灭又被复苏，却彼此助长得愈发旺盛起来。我曾以为，在它们之间，有一条非常细的线，而我的一生将在两头扑腾，为寻那个恰到好处的落脚点；但现在我大致明白，在它们之间，什么也没有。
I am the fire, and the grass; over and over again, I am ended and revived, a process that only serves to encourage my vitality. Once I believed there was a fine line between the two, and that my life flopped between them in search of a comfortable middle ground.
它们就是它。”
Now my feeling is that there is nothing between them at all – that the two are, in fact, one.”
—— Cocoonics
从13岁的清新
到23岁的黑化
10年到底发生了什么？
From innocent at 13
To fierce at 23
What happened in 10 years?
从学校走入社会，接受生存的鞭笞挑战，创作也从追求小愉悦转变为释放高压和审视的过程，探讨也变得严肃起来，略有耳闻但又一脸茫然的听众朋友忍不住要问：
Going from school to society and facing the challenges of survival, the creation of music transforms as well – from an outlet for pleasure to one for introspection and letting off steam. As the explorations grow more serious, the puzzled audience that previously encountered Cocoonics can't help but ask:
“轻轻松松活力满满的 Cocoonics 去哪里了？”
“Where did the laidback, spirited Cocoonics go?”
充满信心到满腹疑问，试着从音乐里找点答案，最终半信半疑但又有了一些依据地把“自己”重建起来，是一条复杂的青年期成长路径。为了多保留一点格格不入做出努力，不要活成毫无棱角的形态，如果想说些什么可以试着大喊三声，偶尔朋克一下也不错。
From brimming with confidence to being laden with doubt, she attempted to find answers in music and ended up, half confidence half doubt, reconstructing a “self” for herself on youth's complex path to maturity. Making an effort to remain defiant, to be a maverick. If trying to say something, yelling it. Being a punk, on occasion, isn't a bad idea.
这些想法混合成了现阶段 Cocoonics 的声音，她试图为经历过的画面、思考去寻找恰当的配乐，也在其中充分袒露自我去寻找感同身受的那些人，不和谐音符、失真吉他采样、喃喃粤语传递的隐秘信息，她用略带压抑的方式刺激并抚慰听众，当然你也有权利当那个不理解的人，不妨碍跟着她的歌一起咆哮：
It is these ideas that shaped this stage of Cocoonics' voice. Searching for a score to her experiences and thoughts, bravely exposing her inner self to find like-minded souls, she draws on discordant notes, distorted guitar samples, and hidden messages in muttered Cantonese, using a brooding manner to provoke yet console the listener. Of course, you still have the right to be someone who doesn’t understand; there's nothing to prevent you ranting along to her music:
“点解啊 点解 点解啊？”
“Why! Why?! Why?!!”
“还我 Cocoonics！”
“Get Cocoonics back!”
ABOUT
C o c o o n i c s
Cocoonics 是一块音乐制作茧，结在 Eating Music 这棵大树上。自 2017 年以 Hong Kong Community Radio 网络电台的一场 SP404 live set 开始孵化，她在次年迅速登上了香港 Clockenflap Festival 和 Sónar Festival 的舞台，并于 2020 年正式入驻上海的音乐场景。Cocooonics 在现场有着灼热的爆发力，SP404 成为了她的标志，在效果器的加持下，更多玩味的、凶悍的、甚至是挑衅的音乐姿态从她的手下爆发。
Cocoonics is a music production cocoon tied to the great tree of Eating Music. After getting her start in 2017 with an SP-404 live set on Hong Kong Community Radio, she appeared onstage at Hong Kong’s Clockenflap and Sónar festivals the following year before officially entering the Shanghai music scene in 2020.Using her signature SP-404, Cocoonics wields an explosive power during her live performances; with the blessing of the device’s effects, fierce and provocative music erupts from her hands.
Cocoonics 还参与了多张合辑，发表了多支风格迥异的单曲作品，包括 Hip-Hop、Drum & Bass、Dark Ambient 与无法分类的 Eletronic。其 2021 年的创作 EP《wu…/HA!》今日正式上线，其中与 MV 一同发布的《Why The End Of The World Has Not Yet Come》是她以粤语说唱探寻自我成长的全新创作形式。Cocoonics 力求成为音乐的容器，将世界予她的一切诚实表达。
As a music producer, Cocoonics has participated in various compilations and released singles in a wide range of styles, including hip-hop, drum & bass, dark ambient, and experimental electronic. Her 2021 EP "wu... / HA!" was officially released on April 28. The single "Why The End Of The World Has Not Yet Come", accompanied by a music video by Haomin Peng, was her new exploration of personal growth through Cantonese spoken word.Cocoonics aspires to be a container for music, to sincerely express everything the world gives her.
