Abstract
- The article focuses on the concept of transcribing the translations of Cantonese pop songs. According to the author, he does not understand a Cantonese song but with a slightly relaxed attention of listening to it, there would sound English words over the unfamiliar syllables. The author comes with an idea to develop his discovery into formal, contemplative technique of composition. For several weeks, every night, the author transcribed translations of the Cantonese pop songs, and he had 200 pieces which include the long, narrow columns in tiny, illegible print, from which the 49 pieces in ráydee ō were chosen and revised.
