在无尽的意识反射中，现实只是万花筒里的幻影。


从夭折的电影，到出走的梦境

这张 EP 的种子，原本埋在 Craone 筹备多时却遗憾停滞的童年传记短片里。影片虽未开机，但那些原本为镜头而生的声音，却在暗处野蛮生长，最终挣脱影像的母体，独立幻化成了这部名为《Kaleido Mirage》的四曲 EP。

视觉驱动的“液态听觉”

比起旋律的推演，Craone 的灵感更多源自视觉的震荡：他将纽约独立电影中，如约翰·卡萨维蒂（John Cassavetes）或萨弗迪兄弟（Safdie Brothers）那种即兴且充满颗粒感的镜头，转化为极具张力的声音叙事。他试图拆解并重组潜藏在少年索尼 CD 机里的世界，将独立摇滚的粗粝骨架与电子音乐的流动触感缝合在一起。

一场任性的深夜梦游

《Kaleido Mirage》勾勒出一个深夜潜逃的小孩，在光怪陆离的奇观中沉溺，最终走向未知的开放结局：序幕从“Kaleido Mirage”拉开，意识在缓慢入眠中散失。身体交出控制权，色彩与声波开始在脑海中漫无目的地发散。突然瞬间坠入眼花缭乱的午夜秀场“Irregular Rotation”。在万花筒般的旋转中，霓虹与欲望交织，感官被无限放大。走马观花之后柳暗花明，欢迎来到明亮地带“C Dream”，光芒深处是一段没有终点的放逐。当光线散尽，画面回落至黑暗剧院。“Closing Show”，一席诡异的爵士现场在此候命——器乐演奏此起彼伏，如同意识的呓语，意义未明。孩童再度陷入无序的混沌梦境，循环往复。

古早硬件与现代语法的碰撞

在创作过程中，Craone 利用数字软件搭建复杂的实验架构，同时引入古早合成器与电鼓，赋予音色一种属于胶片时代的、不完美的物理质感。网络上的随机采样化作梦境里的呢喃，在悦耳的底色之上，不断向实验性的边界发起试探。


“回到音乐里是幸福的，它架构起一片只属于你的幻境。如同胶片时代操作电影放映机的人，在那一刻，唯有你，正目睹着一帧帧画面的诞生。” —— Craone

Concept Sketches


REPRESENTATION

In the mind’s endless reflections, every reality turns to mirage.


From Screen to Sound

Kaleido Mirage originated as a soundtrack for Craone’s stalled semi-autobiographical film. Though production halted, the audio took on a life of its own, evolving into this four-track EP.

Visual Narrative

Inspired by the gritty, improvisational cinematography of John Cassavetes and the Safdie Brothers, Craone translates visual tension into "liquid audio". He deconstructs indie rock’s raw energy and stitches it into the fluid framework of electronic music.

The Night Walk

The EP follows a child’s surreal midnight escapade:

"Kaleido Mirage": A prologue of dissolving consciousness.

"Irregular Rotation": A freefall into neon-lit sensory overload.

"C Dream": An endless exile into a zone of blinding light.

"Closing Show": A haunting jazz finale in a dark theater, looping into chaos.

Analog Grit

Craone blends digital architecture with vintage synths and drum machines to achieve a film-like, imperfect texture. Random internet samples act as dreamlike whispers, pushing experimental boundaries while remaining melodic.



"Music is a private sanctuary. Like an analog projectionist, you are the sole witness to every frame's birth." — Craone

Craone

李宏辉，2003 年生于中国南宁，电子音乐制作人、声音设计师。

Craone 的创作根植于对声音材料的深度解构。16 岁起，他通过自学合成器、钢琴与鼓，将早期浸淫摇滚乐积累的结构性思维与感性表达，转化为独特的电子语法。他的音乐跳脱了旋律的线性束缚，擅长将环境采样、工业噪音与歌曲片段重塑为触手可及的质感，在重组中构建出复杂交织的“听觉景观”。

在影视配乐与声音设计领域，Craone 同样展现出敏锐的天赋。由他担纲配乐的短片作品曾入围 DOC NYC、戛纳 AVIFF 艺术电影节等国际影展。作为视觉艺术的实践者，他同时以摄影师和导演的身份发起影像项目，这种双重视角使他得以游刃有余地穿梭于视听边界。

凭借全媒介的叙事能力，Craone 持续在电子音乐的物理振动中，捕捉那些存在于现实与想象裂缝间、不可见却真切的灵光。

About Artist

Craone (Li Honghui), born in Nanning in 2003, is an electronic music producer and sound designer.

Rooted in the deep deconstruction of sonic materials, Craone began self-teaching synthesis, piano, and drums at 16. He translates the structural logic and emotional depth of his early rock influences into a distinct electronic syntax. Breaking free from linear melody, he reshapes field recordings, industrial noise, and song fragments into tangible textures, building intricate "auditory landscapes" through recombination.

In film scoring and sound design, Craone’s keen intuition has led his work to international festivals, including DOC NYC and the AVIFF Cannes Art Film Festival. As a multidisciplinary artist, he also leads projects as a photographer and director—a dual perspective that allows him to navigate the boundaries between sight and sound with ease.

Through his trans-media storytelling, Craone continues to capture the "invisible aura"—those fleeting moments between reality and imagination—within the physical vibrations of electronic music.
