As a recording arts student at the Xinghai Conservatory of Music, Junny Chung established the "single band" project Han Hai Lan Xi in 2019. With elaborate planning came the creation of beautiful melodies that speak to the heart of the band’s music. Its energy balances both delicate and explosive aesthetics. Listeners can feel as though they are flying through clouds in the sky or even falling in love. Regarding this music project, Junny ’s confessed:
“It is not so much that Han Hai Lan Xi is my personal music project. It is better to say that it is like my diary. It is another way of expressing my emotions because I am a person who is not great at speaking, I can only express everything I want to express in music."
In 2018, Han Hai Lan Xi released three singles that highlighted ideas of friendship, love, and affection respectively. With its “simple and true” attitude, the tracks utilize instrumental music to express the struggles that come with mixed emotions. These singles attracted widespread attention from a global fanbase and received praise from the public for their healing qualities.
“Everyone has a different view of how life should be and a different definition of happiness. In this song, some people will hear the hope of life while others will hear the disappointment of life; some people will hear that they have already arrived at their ideal paradise, but some people will think paradise will be unreachable.”
The song "The Seaside Park" comes from the EP of the same name, which is compiled of songs about different aspects of the seaside park. Because this track is a post-rock song, it helps evoke countless emotions within the listener – creating an atmosphere so real that each listener will have their own seaside park that they are at. Han Hai Lan Xi describes "The Seaside Park" in more detail as well as their personal reflection on the song:
“In fact, "The Seaside Park " can be understood as the spiritual world that each of us yearns for. The magnificent wave, the gentle sea breeze, the warm sunshine, the intimate long talks, the giant ferris wheel, the tea and the rice, and the peacefulness of the world basically is my illusions of paradise.”
Through this music, the audience can immerse themselves in a “sweeping sea” of sound and float dreamily above the surface of “ocean waves.” This musical atmosphere provokes thoughtfulness and forms a beautiful “seashore” for listeners to lie on and enjoy. Like a lighthouse, the music of Hai Han Lan Xi stands steadfastly on a turbulent, vast, and endless coast.
"But isn’t life made up of happiness, emotions, sadness, and surprises?"
Han Hai Lan Xi just released another new single that you can listen to, "Let Me Go to Kenting to Watch Another Sunset Before I Grow Old" 《在我變老之前 陪我去墾丁再看一次日落》.
