沉闷的时代仿佛一堵墙,我们能做的不过是从薄弱的地方一点点凿开它。也许有点慢,但我们相信钝钝的力量,随着时间流逝,总能从缝隙中渗透出光。最初这张专辑只是想叫《辛丑》,起这个名字也是因为一系列匪夷所思的“时代闹剧”,大家都觉得丑事怎么这么多。本来计划在2021年内发布,后来因为各种出行不便的原因拖到了壬寅年才开始录制,处在两年之交故也改名叫《辛丑|壬寅》。英文名“Painful
Clown & Ninja Tiger”本身就是具体的形象,从中文到英文再回到中文,这两个简单年份名称所蕴含的意义被拓展了,带给人想象。
The dull era is like a wall, and all we can do is to break it from the weak point. It may be a bit
slow, but we believe in the power of bluntness, which can penetrate through the cracks as time goes
by. At first, this album was just called "Xinchou", and the name was also because of a series of
incredible "era farces". Everyone felt that there were so many ugly things. It was originally
inconveniences in travel. The English name "Painful Clown & Ninja Tiger" is a specific image in
itself. From Chinese to English and back to Chinese, the meaning contained in these two simple
year names is expanded, bringing imagination to people.

谢玉岗的笔记本
Xie’s Notebook





「辛丑壬寅随手记」是惘闻成员谢玉岗记录于2021-2023之间、《辛丑|壬寅》专辑创作到巡演时期的随笔文字,一些日常生活的思想碎片。
"Painful Clown and Ninja Tiger Notebook" was written between 2021 and 2023 by Xie Yugang, a member of the band Wang Wen. It's a collection of his daily thoughts beginning from when he started working on the creation of the album "Painful Clown and Ninja Tiger" till the end of their world tour.
戒过一次烟,持续了两年,后来又复吸了。酒印象中在内心里做过无数次戒掉的决定,但最长一次不过两个多月,常常就是三五天作罢。当然作出戒酒决定也都是发生在痛饮之后的第二天宿醉抑郁状态下。这么看,我对酒精的依赖度要远高于香烟。
It seems to me that my addiction to alcohol is far greater than my dependency on cigarettes. In the past, I successfully abstained from smoking for two years before I finally relapsed. However, the longest I've been able to go without alcohol is two months. I often cave by the third or fifth day. Although I've vowed to quit drinking countless of times, it's been pretty futile as these vows were more often than not made during a hangover.
惘闻工作室坐落的城市音乐馆室内是禁烟的,但不知道是不是出于尊重烟民的权利,离工作室不远的楼梯口还是设立了一个吸烟室,它的水泥墙壁是真正的烟熏色。
In the City Music Hall where Wang Wen's studio is located, smoking is prohibited indoors. However, perhaps there's some human rights thing dictating that even smokers should have the freedom to do as they wish, as there's a smoking room situated in the nearby stairwell. The smoke-stained walls there are evidence that it's well-used.
创作《辛丑|壬寅》的时候,每每有一点进展或者一点让我兴奋的想法我就会去吸烟室抽支烟,似乎是出于对自己的奖励,也似乎是让自己的情绪平复下来。而在整个巡演过程中,乐队和巡演团队里每一个烟民一般都double了自己平时每天抽烟对量,烟是不是真的能够平复紧张的情绪我不知道。唯一知道的是不抽烟的人每次在后台的时候那个难受劲就别提了。
Smoking had a twofold purpose for me during the creation of "Painful Clown and Ninja Tiger". It was how I rewarded myself for making progress with the album, and it was also a way for me to calm my nerves. In fact, I was not the only one who succumbed to my addiction. During the tour, everyone who was a smoker doubled their daily cigarette usage. Truth be told, I'm not sure if smoking really helps to calm my nerves. All I know is that things would be unbearable if I didn't do it.
乐队一周到底要排练几次合适?巡演又应该是什么样的节奏进行?过去这些好像都是可以主观选择决定的,但在辛丑壬寅里完全是别样的感受。没人知道排练室的大楼或者每个乐队成员居住的小区下周会不会被封控,没人知道开始巡演后,从一个城市到另一个城市有百分之多少的可能会被强制隔离,当然也没人知道昨天还可以演出的场地今天是不是依然能被允许演出。总之,一切都是未知的,不能预见的,不可想象的。
How many times should a band rehearse per week? How should we progress with our tour? These questions were easily answered in the past. However, uncertainties now abounded. Nobody knew when, or even if, the rehearsal venue or bandmembers' residences would go into lockdown. We also had no idea if we would be forced to isolate ourselves during our travels between locations. We even faced the possibility of being banned from performing at the agreed-upon location. Basically, no one could predict the future. Anything could happen.
所以也就没有什么选择可言,唯一的就是让音乐活着,让音乐的脉搏跳动着,不管以什么节奏。
In these difficult circumstances, there was nothing we could do except keep the music going.
所以创作辛丑壬寅的时候,只要是大家没被封在家里就会聚在排练室,冰箱里的啤酒变得总是不够喝。印象最深的是在最后一版混音修改结束前,排练室所在的区又一次被封控了。我厚着脸皮和楼下的保安大叔借进排练室收拾东西拿回家之名用了两个小时把混音做了最后一次修改。回去的路上我还惴惴不安,担心还有什么纰漏。到家后倒是释然了,觉得这应该就是一个最好的信号,混音应该到此结束了。
When we were working on "Painful Clown and Ninja Tiger", we would gather at the rehearsal studio as long as we were not under lockdown. We drank so much that the beer in the refrigerator was never enough. One of my most vivid memories of that time is of when we were placed under lockdown immediately after editing a remix of the album. At that time, I unashamedly tricked the security guard into thinking that I was packing up the studio when in fact, I had spent two hours finalising the remix. Even after I finished, I felt on-edge the entire way home. It was only once I got there that I breathed a sigh of relief. I saw the lockdown as a sign from the heavens that now was the time to wrap up the production of the remix.
早在上一张唱片《十万个为什么》的创作末期因疫情导致的封控就已经开始了,不过那时候大家除了对未知病毒的恐慌之外,似乎总觉得只要大家都遵从封控的措施,一切都会像2003年的SARS病毒一样,很快就会过去,恢复正常。所以当一切进入到辛丑壬寅年后,无休止的疫情反复将大部分人的情绪从恐慌转变成为了麻木和绝望。《辛丑壬寅》就是在这样一种情绪状态下开始的创作,第一次创作成为了我们对抗所有负面情绪的武器,或者说进入音乐创作的世界成为了我们的逃避手段,在其中获取一切的自由。单纯从音乐上说,在这张唱片里我们总是试图写一些愉悦的东西,然而,音乐从来也不是我们每个人手里的工具,它仿佛始终飘荡在我们每个人周围,
音乐的创作中总是充满了不断的选择,一般情况下总是你既定的音乐审美帮你做出选择,但在辛丑壬寅年,往往情绪替代了审美。而当意识到这一点的时候,我们总是试图去对抗这种情绪操控,结果就是情绪和矛盾性共同掌握了选择权,当一切处在角力争夺之中时,最终偏执胜出。

The Cable Temple: Album Recording

“20年后,重回故地开始惘闻新专辑的录音,兴奋激动,用音乐对抗所有的法西斯! ”
"After 20 long years, we came back to our old spot to start recording our new album. We were buzzing with
excitement as we used our music as a weapon against the forces of fascism!"
2023年3月13日
2022年3月惘闻去到石家庄郊眠寺录制新专,这里是万能青年旅店乐队的录音棚,由河北电影制片厂改建而来。每次惘闻的新专,都会选择一个不一样的录音棚来录。这样的好处是,每次大家都能收获一些不同的体验,也能学到不同东西。因此这次也想找个之前没有去过的地方。另外,虽然我们自己做了惘闻工作室,但这张唱片还是希望在一个新鲜的环境录制。最初设想专辑中鼓的音色,是那种大声场、又特别复古的感觉,后来找了一圈就看到郊眠寺那个空间,觉得肯定能呈现想要的声音。果不其然,去录的时候,就觉得特别对路。还是挺幸运的。
In March 2022, we chose to record our new album at the Cable Temple in Shijiazhuang. This studio, previously
known as the recording studio of the band "Omnipotent Youth Society," was originally part of the Hebei Film
Studio. We have a habit of selecting different recording studios for each new album. This approach offers the
benefit of providing unique experiences and opportunities to learn something new each time. Hence, for this
album, we did the same. Despite having our own studio, we wanted to record in a new environment. From the
beginning, we had a specific vision for the album, desiring a distinct drum sound with a spacious and retro
feel. After thorough exploration, we stumbled upon the Cable Temple space, and immediately recognized it as the
perfect fit to achieve the desired sound. It was a fortunate discovery.
录制过程中我们尝试各种不同方式去获得“由远到近”的鼓声,最终这段鼓被用在了《凿壁寻光》的开头。这样探索声音的过程,在新专录制中比比皆是。
During the recording process, we were fully invested in exploring different techniques to capture the dynamic
range of the drum sound. Our goal was to create a sense of depth and progression, starting from a distant
perspective and gradually moving closer. In the end, we incorporated this drum section at the beginning of the
song "Light Behind the Wall." This exploration of sound remained a consistent theme throughout the entire album

收声实验尝试:麦克风悬挂天花板和手持夹着麦克风的圆号行走拾取声音
We also experimented with unconventional recording techniques, such as attaching a microphone to the French
horn and suspending microphones from the ceiling while walking to capture sound.
“郊眠寺最棒的地方是有无数瓶
,不知道他们藏在录音棚的什么地方了,但每天都能拿出一瓶给大家喝,好像永远也喝不完,我觉得这个是郊眠寺最大的特点,其次才是乐器和设备(笑)。因为毕竟是万青的棚,他们自己也是做乐队的,所以会理解这些来录音的乐队最需要的是什么,伏特加和元年的琴。他们太懂了。即兴喝酒之余找了董亚千老师给《奥林匹克广场》弹了一段滑棒吉他。
The best thing about the Cable Temple is that they have countless bottles of vodka from the 1980s. I have no
idea where they store them in the studio, but every day they bring out a bottle for everyone to enjoy. It seems
like their supply never runs out. I think that's the standout feature of the Cable Temple, along with their
impressive collection of instruments and equipment (laughs). Being the studio of Omnipotent Youth Society, who
are also musicians themselves, they truly understand what bands need during recording sessions: vodka and
vintage guitars. They really get it. Besides sharing a few drinks together, we also invited guitarist Dong
Yaqian to add a slide guitar part to 'There's a Walmart underneath the Olympic Square.'
虽然待在一起的时间不多,但不管是万青还是郊眠寺所有员工,我觉得大家都是那种特别纯粹热爱音乐的人。比如虽然天还挺冷,手都有点僵,但每天来到郊眠寺,他们一帮人总是在那拿起乐器就玩起来,是生活里永远离不开音乐的一群人。
Despite not spending much time together, I can feel that both the members of Omnipotent Youth Society and the
staff at the Cable Temple exuded a deep passion for music. Even in the chilly weather, with slightly stiff
hands, whenever we were at the Cable Temple, they would enthusiastically pick up their instruments and start
playing. It was evident that they were a group of individuals who couldn't imagine their lives without music.

过去两年惘闻创作了新专《辛丑壬寅》,这是一张“另类”的专辑。这里说的另类并不是指惘闻在这张专辑里增加了唱的部分,而是这张专辑对于我来说就是一张彻头彻尾的另类摇滚(Alternative
Rock)专辑。虽然惘闻从来不想给自己的音乐归类,但从配器选择、编曲思路到录制和最终混音的呈现,《辛丑壬寅》无不散发着
的气息。2003年惘闻来到石家庄,录制了乐队的第一张专辑。20年之后乐队重回故地录制,这宿命般巧合,冥冥中预示着这次音乐上回归,回归到更加直接、真实的表达。
"People who create content can never hold back from expressing their true selves." Over the past two years, Wang
Wen has been working on their new album titled 'Painful Clown & Ninja Tiger,' which can be described as an
'alternative' album. And by 'alternative,' I don't mean that Wang Wen has included vocals in this album. For me,
this album encapsulates a complete alternative rock experience. While Wang Wen has always avoided labelling
their music, the essence of 90s alternative rock permeates 'Painful Clown & Ninja Tiger' through the instrument
selection, arrangement concepts, recording approach, and final mixing. It all began in 2003 when Wang Wen
embarked on their musical journey in Shijiazhuang, recording their debut album. Now, two decades later, the band
has returned to the same location for the recording, creating a serendipitous reunion that symbolizes their
musical resurgence and a rediscovery of unfiltered and genuine expression.
“这是一张花了最多时间来尝试音色的唱片,收获最多还是对很多音色的理解。自己担任唱片制作人也是挺好的尝试,花了更多时间揣摩修改,从一个吉他手的身份中跳出来审视整首歌和整张专辑。而且有邓成龙和录音师尹冲来做监制和录音,他们经验丰富,实际录音时又想了很多有意思的方案,所以推进得很快也很愉快。做乐队本身就是合作,是大家在一起协作完成作品。乐队如果能持续发展,需要和更多志同道合的专业人士来合作。
This is an album where I dedicated the most time to experimenting with different tones, and it was incredibly
rewarding as I gained a better understanding of the diverse sonic qualities. Taking on the role of the album's
producer was an exciting endeavour that allowed me to invest more time in contemplation and adjustments. It
pushed me to step out of our comfort zone as guitarists and critically evaluate each song and the entire album.
Having Deng Chenglong as the supervisor and Yin Chong as the recording engineer was immensely beneficial. Their
wealth of experience brought forth numerous intriguing ideas during the recording process, and this made the
whole recording process quick and enjoyable. Being in a band is all about collaboration, where everyone works
together to create the final product. To ensure continuous growth and development, it is essential to seek
collaborations with like-minded professionals.
比如发一张唱片,好像音乐部分都是乐队写的(就先不说乐队中的成员合作了,先把乐队当作整体),最后一张唱片呈现在你面前。但看唱片内页就会发现,里面包含了太多人的创造和付出:录音阶段需要协作录音师,他们是对声音更敏感的人,能帮助你捕捉想要的音色。然后需要找到合适的混音师,乐队呈现了一盘菜,但怎样能把这盘菜调味到恰到好处,这正是他们的创造;还有母带师,他们帮助同一首歌在不同设备上有符合需求的呈现;传播上又需要发行端口的人去企划联合合适的视觉设计、文字概念,去吸引更多人买这张唱片回家听……
When it comes to releasing an album, it might seem that the band is solely responsible for creating and
producing the music (let's overlook the internal collaboration among band members and consider the band as a
whole). However, if we take a closer look at the album's credit list, we'll see the involvement of numerous
individuals during the recording phase, highlighting the significance of collaborating with sound engineers.
These skilled professionals have a heightened sensitivity to sound and can capture the desired tones with
precision. Finding the right mixing engineers is also crucial. While the band presents the "dish," it's the
mixing engineers who add the perfect "seasoning" of creativity. Following that, the mastering engineers
fine-tune the tracks to ensure optimal playback across different devices. On the marketing front, various groups
of professionals are responsible for planning and designing the album's visuals and written concepts, aiming to
attract a larger audience of potential listeners and buyers. The band must effectively communicate and
collaborate with these professionals, who possess immense expertise in their respective fields, to reach a
broader fan base. The production of an album is never the result of the efforts of a single person or the band

每个领域里都存在有趣的人,在世界不同角落活跃着。回望《辛丑|壬寅》,围绕这张专辑,惘闻和来自不同领域、志同道合的朋友们交流合作,更像是一场音乐和其他领域的即兴:音乐抛出动机概念,加入进来的朋友以自己擅长的方式再创作,最终呈现出超出单个人想象的图景。感恩这张唱片指引着我们结识了这么多有趣的人。
In every field, there are fascinating individuals pursuing their passions all around the world. Reflecting on
the album "Painful Clown & Ninja Tiger," it was a collaborative effort that brought together like-minded and
talented people from various backgrounds. We exchanged ideas and created something truly unique. It felt like a
spontaneous blend of music and different areas of expertise, where the initial inspiration sparked the
creativity of our friends, each showcasing their own skills. The result exceeded our wildest imaginations. We
are incredibly grateful for this album as it allowed us to connect with such a diverse and intriguing group of
能够负责惘闻的专辑企划,总是一件无比幸福的事情,因为乐队总是通过他们的概念抛给你无数可以延展的引子,《辛丑|壬寅》这张唱片尤其。这张唱片最大的幸福感来自于我们从视觉、设计、合作、宣传的各个环节,都找到了内在非常强大的一群艺术家们一起合作,在这个过程中,我们更像是串联者或受启发者,通过将他们的智慧相互链接,延展想象。整一个《辛丑|壬寅》的策划过程,几乎每一个环节,我都会惊叹:“怎么会有这么牛这么妙的想法!”每一个点都可以越挖越深,互相接力,只是看听众们自己可以挖掘到哪里吧。很多呈现不仅仅是现在觉得无比巧妙,即便过去很多年,这些创意想法也都绝对经得起时间的推敲,这个过程也让我们深深感受到他们对时代的记录和在一片荒漠下撒播绿洲种子的美好与希望感。
Being in charge of album planning for Wang Wen, especially for a unique album like "Painful Clown & Ninja
Tiger," has been an absolute joy. The most exciting part of this album is collaborating with a talented group of
artists in visual design, cooperation, and promotion. Throughout the process, we served as connectors, bringing
together their creative minds and expanding the boundaries of imagination. The planning of "Painful Clown &
Ninja Tiger" was filled with incredible and brilliant ideas that build upon one another, leaving a lasting
impression. These ideas capture the essence of the era, inspiring hope and beauty even in challenging times.
They stand the test of time, inviting the audience to dive deep and uncover their depths.
首先是应邀设计“辛丑壬寅”标题字体的
。作为我们和乐队的朋友,大东老师很早之前就曾为惘闻乐队书写过端庄又飘逸的中文logo,沿用至今。这次新专合作的字体,内敛沉重的笔锋和厚重的音乐一脉相承,共同佐证时代精神。
Firstly, we teamed up with the calligraphy artist Mr. Lu Dadong, a close friend of ours and the band, to design
the title for "Painful Clown & Ninja Tiger." Mr. Dadong has previously crafted a refined and elegant Chinese
logo for Wang Wen, which we have consistently used. For this new album, our collaboration on the font captures
the essence of restrained and profound brushstrokes, beautifully complementing the powerful music and
后来还有乐迷朋友自己篆刻了辛丑壬寅的字体章
Later, we had a fan who personally carved the seal stamps of "Painful Clown & Ninja Tiger" font.
经过
的灵感解构,“辛丑壬寅”书法字体以装饰拼贴的方式构成了专辑封面的主要部分,放大字体直至占满整个画面、压迫感十足的笔画相互交错……这些设计点和专辑音乐一同构成了人们对于时代的感受。实体唱片设计层面,我们和卢涛老师以及老朋友
在制作前期仔细地核对了纸张用料、封套尺寸、印刷颜料,每一方对细节的重视和把控,让《辛丑|壬寅》顺利诞生,而且是大家理想中的模样——一张记录时代的唱片。“辛丑壬寅”最终也不止停留在唱片上,由专辑主视觉衍生而来的
和
都加深了人们对这次书法字体的印象。
Inspired by the artistic style of Lu Tao, the "Painful Clown & Ninja Tiger" calligraphy font takes centre stage
on the album cover, embracing a decorative collage approach. The font is magnified to occupy the entire
composition, with bold strokes overlapping to create intensity. This design, in harmony with the music, reflects
the spirit of the era. For the physical album design, we collaborated closely with Lu Tao and our partner,
Four-Color Printing. Together, we carefully selected materials, sleeve dimensions, and printing pigments,
ensuring attention to detail. This collaboration brought our vision for "Painful Clown & Ninja Tiger" to life—a
record that captures the essence of the times. The visual concept extends beyond the album, encompassing

忍者虎 · Ninja Tiger
Ninja Tiger
“忍者虎”最初来源于“壬寅”的英文译名“Ninja
Tiger”。这是一个让人充满想象的可爱动物,2022又恰巧是虎年,如果能让“忍者虎”成为实体留在大家身边就好了。当我们和创意机构联邦走马沟通想法时,他们用一贯天马行空的想象力和过硬的技术把“忍者虎”变成了独一无二的艺术品。
"Ninja Tiger" was derived from the English translation of "Ren-Yin" as "Ninja Tiger." It symbolizes an endearing
creature that sparks the imagination. Additionally, with 2022 being the Year of the Tiger, it couldn't be more
fitting. It would be incredible if everyone could have a physical representation of "Ninja Tiger" in their
lives. When we shared our ideas with the creative agency, One Villain and 49 Horses, they brought forth their
limitless imagination and exceptional technical skills to create a distinctive digital collectible that stands
12款忍者虎艺术品
12 “Ninja Tiger” Limited Decorative Paintings and Digital Version
“最早是设计师卢涛提出可以从《壬寅》这首歌的名字中做一个虎的形象,也是比较偶然地触发了我去创作。和老谢交流的时候,我发现他对文字形象是有一定想象的:不是很规整、也不是很华丽。写这个“虎”字时我也遵循了这个逻辑:
“忍者虎”在我脑中是个很有趣的融合:“忍”这个字很有解读空间,“忍者”在日本历史中是一种特殊职业,通常在暗处行动,也会保护自己,也有
。而“虎”在中国同样是特殊的形象,一方面很凶猛,会吃人;另一方面又是百兽之王,大家都对王有敬畏之心;有时候民间还会消解它的可怖性,虎又变成了吉祥可爱的形象。”
It all began when the designer, Lu Tao, had the idea of incorporating a tiger image into the song title "Ninja
Tiger." It was a spontaneous inspiration that sparked my creativity. During my conversation with Xie, I was
captivated by his unique approach to visualizing words, finding a perfect balance between simplicity and
elegance. As I wrote the character "虎" (tiger), I followed this principle, using multiple tones instead of pure
black. To me, "Ninja Tiger" represents a captivating fusion: the character "忍" (ninja) invites interpretation,
capturing the secretive and self-protective nature of historical Japanese ninjas. Similarly, "虎" (tiger) holds
great significance in Chinese culture, symbolizing both fierceness and the revered status of the king of beasts,
evoking awe. Interestingly, certain folk traditions present the tiger as a symbol of charm and good fortune,
rather than solely focusing on its fearsome nature.
“鲁大东老师的书法作品,本身已经超脱一般平面视觉形象的能量,传统书法“虎”字的美感加上黑衣忍者的形象,憨萌生趣。通过程序化和算法生成的手段,我们做出了12款不同材质变化的视觉:
Mr. Lu Dadong's calligraphy works have a unique charm that goes beyond ordinary visuals. The combination of the
beautiful traditional calligraphy character "虎" (tiger) with the image of a ninja dressed in black creates a
charming and playful allure. Using programming and algorithms, we created 12 different visual variations using
various materials. We took the lyrical elements from the song "Ninja Tiger" and turned them into tiger patterns.
This creative transformation unfolds as the music plays and time flows by.
