Pan Daijing announces debut album Lack 惊蛰

It’ll be released on 28 July via PAN

The Berlin-based sound designer has announced that she’ll be releasing her first album next month via PAN Records. To accompany the announcement, she’s released the first single Plate of Order on Soundcloud.

According to the Soundcloud caption beneath the track, the record is the culmination of two years of compositions, edited concerts and field recordings across Europe, China, and Canada. The album has been formed from “mental catharsis”.

Its narrative offers up the world as “the theatre of our minds”, with the artist describing the album as an “opera piece”.

“When I was finalising this album, they didn’t feel like tracks to me anymore, but more like a psychoanalytical process,” she says. “I saw myself being this absurd, mad person ‘acting’ out the sounds… It’s rather physical, and became like a mindgame. All things came out naturally as part of me.”
