This track is part of a collection of recordings that documented all the ferry boat crossings in Shanghai in 2021. The recordings were used in the Vital performance showcase in Shanghai at the Rockbund Museum in November 2021. Documenting the ferry lines in Shanghai was on my wish list for a long time and I was happy that I finally had a reason to do it. Over the span of one month, I went to the 16 ferry ports and made a round trip. I documented the areas around the ports and other interesting sounds that I heard. I used the recordings and recorded it onto reels of tape with my Generations instrument consisting of 4 Revox A77 tape recorders. Before the performance, I spliced and re-recorded the audio over several days to create interesting, pre-recorded reels to play during the concert. During the performance, I manipulated the reels with my fingers while controlling the recorders via MIDI to make a sound collage of the Shanghai ferry. The final track in this collection is the live recording of my improvised performance at the Vital concert.

This was the final composition during the performance. After several weeks of making 'prepared' reels to perform, I finally showcased the instrument for the first time. The entire 'performance' improvised even the preparing of the reels. I recorded some of the recordings on reels then improvised re-recording them on other reels. I also spliced and re-spliced the reels many times during this process. This led to many interesting reverse sounds and short cuts.
