A remote collaborative project. Three of the pieces were recorded at the same time on three consecutive “Mondays/ Tuesdays” wherever we were— Zhu Wenbo in Beijing recorded Tuesday mornings and Noah Ophoven-Baldwin in Minneapolis recorded Monday evenings. Five of the pieces are combined solos that were composed for each other. Noah’s piece Wooden Beams is a notated solo piece for Zhu that can be played on any instrument. Zhu wrote five solo text scores for Noah. The final piece is a solo cornet piece that is a transcription of Zhu playing a mystery instrument. All things were finished in 2023, but some slight reworks were added and remove in 2024.

Noah Ophoven-Baldwin: field recordings, cornet, electric chord organ. Minneapolis, USA, January-April 2023.

Zhu Wenbo: field recordings, clarinet, guitar, toy piano, sine tone, glockenspiel. Beijing and Qingdao, China, January-April 2023.

这是一个远程合作的录音项目。包括：

三首曲目在同一时间录制的《周一/周二》——朱文博是在周二的上午，Noah Ophoven-Baldwin是在周一的晚上。他们的工作持续了好几周。

五首“双独奏”组合——Noah的作品《木梁》是一系列为朱文博创作的独奏曲，可以用任何乐器演奏；朱文博为Noah写了五段简单文字谱，作为演奏的指导。

一首短号独奏曲，是Noah对朱文博的一段录音（演奏了一件神秘的乐器）的重现。

所有曲目录制于2023年，但是在2024年他们又做了轻微的再加工，包括一些增加与删减。
