The Eightfold Path
No full textThe Eightfold Path is an alternative hip-hop project by Ye Kang, inspired by the Buddhist philosophy of the Noble Eightfold Path, which emphasizes ethical living, meditation, and the cultivation of wisdom—principles believed to generate good karma and reduce suffering. This project uses this idea as a creative framework, merging it with personal storytelling to further explore themes of identity, spirituality, cultural duality, and inner growth. The project navigates through the life of a Chinese-born artist living in contemporary America. The music blends raw, emotional vocal delivery with a hybrid production style—integrating classic hip-hop sampling techniques with modern electronic production approaches and traditional Chinese instrumentation. The purpose of the project is to serve as a musical and cultural bridge between East and West, past and present, aiming to create an introspective and immersive experience for the listeners.https://remix.berklee.edu/graduate-studies-cmat/1143/thumbnail.jp
What’s Your Truth?: My Journey to Creative Freedom
No full textThis Creative Experience explores the pursuit of artistic authenticity and creative freedom through the development of a personalized toolkit for songwriting and performance. Inspired by the journey of creating my debut album InnerLivin/New Bloom, this project examines the processes, tools, and environments that have allowed me to express myself most freely as an artist. Central to the project is a four-phase study, Analysis & Reflection, Experimentation & Exploration, Framework Development, and a Live Performance Recording, each building upon the last to guide both self-discovery and artistic refinement. Through journaling, songwriting, collaboration, and live recording with a studio audience, I aim to demonstrate how embracing live energy in controlled environments can unlock deeper creative expression. The final outcome is a live-recorded album supported by a reflective, replicable toolkit that other artists can use to access their own creative freedom.https://remix.berklee.edu/graduate-studies-contemporary-performance/1339/thumbnail.jp

Sentimental Aesthetics in D-flat Major: Adagio of Haydn’s Hob. XVI:46
Full text linkAlthough the concept of key characteristics was widely affirmed in the eighteenth century, the key of D-flat major was rarely adopted by composers. The so-called Romantic period, however, saw a remarkable increase in the use of this key, as demonstrated in the many well-known pieces written by composers such as Chopin. The article first reviews the different receptions of D-flat major in the eighteenth century and explores how the clavichord might have allowed Haydn to hear D-flat major as a key of sentimentality, one that echoes Christian Daniel Friedrich Schubart’s interpretation. It then examines ways in which Haydn presents the aesthetic experience of self-forgetfulness and self-reflexivity, both manifestations of sensibility, in the Adagio movement of keyboard sonata Hob. XVI: 46, using D-flat major. This analysis suggests Haydn’s D-flat major in Adagio could be heard as a prefiguration to the D-flat major sounded in the subsequent century, particularly in piano works, while resonating with numerous interpretations of D-flat major prevalent in the first half of the nineteenth century
