"Fuqin Intersection (抚琴路口)" is the fourth chapter of the music stories collection from Supertt. It comes from one of the band's earliest ballads and is inspired by the tiny fragments of memories between Hongzhaobi and Tongshan Bridge in the year of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. It appeals to the original face of rock music, a reincarnation of the past, and now it is rearranged and shaped.
In figurative storytelling, character building, story conflict, space design and lyric display are all fairly simple, but they don't prevent us from getting the message. What we have done is just a simple way to ask a question, we know it can be simple or complex, big or small; and that the price for living in a modern life: order, crowding, tomorrow, anxiety, role playing, is like a kid who loses his room keys and has his home outside of the third ring road of Beijing and his scooter is somewhere inside of the second ring road. The musical description of the Supertt has never been so tiny just like when discussing the smallest variable in rewriting the genetic order.
The song tells the story of Gu Xiaoming, who time-traveled from the American Civil War back to the Star of Cromanu in 1860, wandering the streets of the city all day, facing his growing body and a social structure that is in stalemate. Musically, the heavy electronic beats and the Chengdu dialect in the song are a quirky blend of urban and technological. The lyrics illustrated many images using words, and a few limited parts in the song are simple and concrete, providing some room for thinking.
Founded in 2008, this young band set itself apart in Chengdu's rock circle with its edgy debut. The band now has three members, Puyang (lead vocal, guitarist), Guli (reciter, singer), Xia Ai (DJ, producer), Mengwei (percussionist). Since their debut, Supertt has always aspired to be the most story-telling, dramatic and exploratory live band in China. Their lives are full of energy, fun and dramatic tension, and their music style has been described as "comic punk" and "drama-rock".
