「音樂，讓每個選擇都有可能。」 "Music makes every choice possible."
我原本走的是另一條路。
新竹實驗中學、台大化工，然後成為工程師。那是一個安穩、體面、所有人都會點頭的選擇。後來我把它放下，去了比利時皇家布魯塞爾音樂院主修爵士電吉他，在那裡拿到碩士，也在 JazzStation、Sounds、Music Village 等場館演出。
回到台灣，我帶回來的不只是一紙文憑，而是一種聲音的偏好：偏向 ECM 的內斂與空間感，在意旋律怎麼呼吸，也在意聲音與聲音之間怎麼留白。我相信音樂不是炫技，而是選擇。每一個音、每一次停頓，都是一個決定。
現在我在新竹，寫自己的曲子，也教少數想把音樂想清楚的人。
這些年的現場多在台灣各地，從 Blue Note Taipei 的舞台，到新竹的咖啡館與書店，多半是二重奏或三重奏，也曾帶著自己的原創計畫《結構與自由之間》與《風與線》。
I was on a different path.
Chemical engineering at National Taiwan University, then a job as an engineer: the safe, respectable choice everyone nods at. I left it and went to the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussels to study jazz on electric guitar, earning my master's there and performing at venues including JazzStation, Sounds and Music Village.
What I brought back was less a diploma than a preference for sound: the introspection and space of ECM, how a melody breathes and how silence sits between notes. Music isn't about showing off. It's about choices. Every note, every pause is a decision.
Today I'm based in Hsinchu, writing my own music and teaching a few players who want to think their music through.
These years the playing has mostly been across Taiwan, from the stage of Blue Note Taipei to cafés and bookshops in Hsinchu, usually in duos or trios, and at times with my own projects, Between Structure and Freedom and Wind & Line.
以合作與原創計畫為核心，遊走在結構與即興之間。 A practice built on collaboration and original projects, moving between structure and improvisation.
原創四重奏Original Quartet
Blue Note Taipei · Riff Bar · MileSpace 台中 · 2026
由笙、吉他、低音提琴與鼓組成的四重奏，以當代爵士、自由即興與文化重組為語彙，結合傳統樂器笙的獨特音色，在結構與開放之間游移，呈現高度動能與聲響張力的現場。 A quartet of sheng, guitar, double bass and drums, weaving contemporary jazz, free improvisation and cultural reconfiguration with the distinctive timbre of the sheng, moving fluidly between structure and openness.

口琴 × 吉他二重奏Harmonica × Guitar Duo
竹東 · 2026.05 · with 李讓 harmonica
以旋律、音色與空間感為主軸的二重奏。口琴與吉他都是細緻的樂器，不追求大量音符，而是在有限的線條裡，慢慢堆疊情緒與畫面。比較像在講一段段日常的故事，安靜，但不空白。 A duo centred on melody, timbre and space. Harmonica and guitar are both delicate instruments, not chasing notes but layering feeling within a few lines. Like telling small, everyday stories: quiet, but never empty.
