Vol. 7: Your Body Won’t Lie: A Conversation with Experiential Composer Yuxuan Liu

What does it mean to create from the body, not just the mind?

【English Subtitles will be provided in the video.】

In this episode, composer Yuxuan Liu shares his approach to composition rooted in lived experience, where bodily awareness and internal honesty guide artistic decisions as much as technique or theory does. We also discuss the different roles that rationality and intuition play in the creative process, and what it means to bring a research-oriented mindset to artistic work.

Within the context of film scoring, he reflects on what music actually does, not just serving the image, but building a connection between people. That sense of connection is what keeps him creating, and it runs through the heart of this conversation.

这期《平行之声》栏目,我们聊的是”体验“:它在创作里到底意味着什么?

作曲家刘雨轩分享了他自己的创作方式:不是从技术或审美标准出发,而是从身体感受和内在的诚实出发。我们也聊到理性和感性在创作中各自的位置,以及科研思维与艺术实践之间的张力。

在配乐这个语境里,他谈到音乐不只是服务画面,更像是在人与人之间搭一座桥。这种”连接“,是他持续创作的动力,也是这次对谈一直在回应的核心。
