The shape of Taiwan, my homeland, is like a sweet potato except it is covered with greens. That was how the title "Green Sweet Potato" came to me. But I was not satisfied with it due to the wordiness. I decided to name this series of electroacoustic compositions as Green Potato even though the shape of Taiwan would have to fatten a little.

In Green Potato II, I immerse myself in the sounds and images of my childhood. Growing up in a small city on the Pacific Ocean, I enjoyed the roaring waves on the shore, adventures in the woods, marble ball games with childhood friends, tricycle rides, and most of all, the mysterious rituals held on holy days. These memories are merely memories today due to burgeoning industrialism - only the compelling waves remain the same, producing the most powerful music for me whenever I return.
