BTW, a funny anecdote about this CD... while i was in Hangzhou, Jianhong came to me and asked me to help him do the editing and mastering for that live recording (because i had in my studio and classroom a pair of Dynaudio BM6A, which he heard and really liked). I did all the compression and gain maximizing i thought tolerable at the final stage. I told him further compression will only flatten the sound and make no real gain for the music. He seemed happy with the editing and mastering. But then Xiaosi (sic) told me Jianhong went to him afterwards for further gain maximizing, 'cause he wanted it to be even louder! :-) The title of Li Jianhong’s next solo CD 一沙一世界 is actually the Chinese translation of William Blake’s famous line: “To see a world in a grain of sand…”
