When it comes to field recording, I usually go to nearby hills or walk through urban areas capturing ambient sounds. For that, I would choose breathable, comfortable sportswear. If you were asking more about what I wear for live performances, I also tend to wear functional, movement-friendly clothes while travelling to venues — often sportswear again, especially when I’m carrying heavy gear and navigating multiple forms of public transport like buses, trains, trams, and metros.
說到實地錄音，我通常會去附近的山丘或在都市中散步，錄製環境聲音。這時我會選擇透氣舒適的運動服。如果你問我演出時穿什麼，我通常會穿功能性且方便活動的服裝——常常還是運動服，特別是要扛著重裝備、搭乘多種大眾交通工具（巴士、火車、有軌電車和地鐵）時。
When a tour lasts for two weeks or more, I often have to wash clothes between cities, so fast-drying materials like cotton or synthetic activewear become essential. Bulky or delicate garments are hard to pack and carry — especially when everything gets crammed into the same suitcase as heavy equipment. Over the past five years of performing, my fashion choices have changed quite a lot because of this.
巡演若超過兩週，我經常要在城市間洗衣服，因此速乾材質（像是棉或合成運動服）變得非常重要。笨重或精緻的衣物不易打包和攜帶，尤其所有東西都塞在裝著重裝備的行李箱時。過去五年表演經驗，這些因素讓我的穿衣風格改變不少。
In the beginning, I had fewer performances and focused more on visual art and performance, so I packed more unique, decorative outfits. But as my touring schedule became busier, I leaned towards travel-friendly clothing — soft, easy-to-move-in items that I could wear during soundchecks or long journeys. I also started receiving T-shirts as gifts from venues, musicians, or festivals — many of them DIY events or underground spaces — and now I often wear those in daily life. Since starting noise music in 2023, I’ve played more punk, squat, or metal-type venues, and began wearing a lot of black T-shirts, though I rarely bought them myself — most were given to me.
一開始演出較少，我主要專注視覺藝術與表演，所以會帶比較獨特、裝飾性強的服裝。但隨著巡演頻繁，我開始傾向帶旅行友善的衣物——柔軟、方便活動，可以穿著做音控或長途移動的衣服。我也開始收到很多場地、音樂人或節慶送的T恤，很多是DIY或地下場景的紀念品，現在日常穿得也很習慣。自2023年開始玩噪音音樂後，我多了在龐克、佔據（squat）或金屬類場地演出，也開始穿很多黑色T恤，這些T恤多半是送的，很少自己買。
As for stage outfits, I’ve tried a few different things. I once wore a shirt I really liked and ended up tearing it badly during a physically intense performance. So now I avoid anything delicate or overly structured — I mostly wear oversized T-shirts or sleeveless tops. Performances are physically demanding, especially under hot stage lights, so breathability is vital. I’ve come to understand why some DJs wear bikinis or revealing clothes — when you're playing for 1–3 hours straight, it gets really hot. Even my 30–60 minute sets make me sweat a lot.
至於舞台服裝，我嘗試過幾種不同風格。有次穿了件很喜歡的襯衫，結果在激烈表演時被撕破得很嚴重。現在我避開細緻或太有結構感的衣服，主要穿寬鬆的T恤或無袖上衣。表演很消耗體力，尤其在燈光炙熱下，透氣性非常重要。我也懂為什麼有些DJ會穿比基尼或露膚服裝——連續演出1到3小時真的會非常熱。即使我演30到60分鐘，也會流很多汗。
Black tops also tend to absorb stage lighting best — they don’t reflect too much, and they help keep the focus on the face. White clothing reflects too much light and gets washed out under stage lighting, so I avoid it. I also don’t wear many patterns or bright colours. For trousers or skirts, I go for oversized fits or cuts that allow movement, usually sticking to muted tones.
黑色上衣最適合吸收舞台燈光——不會反光過度，也能讓注意力集中在臉部。白色衣服反光太強，會在舞台燈光下顯得黯淡失真，所以我避免穿。花紋或鮮豔顏色也不常穿。褲子或裙子則選擇寬鬆、方便活動的剪裁，通常是低彩度色系。
Ultimately, I think the most important thing is wearing what feels physically and mentally comfortable. My current choices reflect both my taste — influenced by punk and Japanese street fashion — and the practical realities of touring. I don't go for overly decorative looks, but there are small touches I like, such as checks, chains, belts, or legwarmers. These elements make me feel good.
最重要的是穿著讓自己身心舒適。現在的選擇同時反映我的品味——受到龐克與日本街頭時尚影響——以及巡演的現實考量。我不追求過度裝飾，但喜歡一些小細節，如格紋、鏈條、皮帶或護腿套，這些讓我感覺很好。
Over time, my wardrobe has adapted to the realities of music life: it’s become lighter, easier to wash, and more movement-friendly. If my schedule ever calms down, I’d love to spend time rethinking my on- and off-stage wardrobe more intentionally — maybe even work with friends who do styling, go second-hand hunting, and build a small, versatile collection that reflects both practicality and who I am.
隨著時間，我的衣櫃越來越符合音樂生活的需求：變得輕便、易洗且方便活動。如果有一天行程稍微放緩，我希望能花時間更有意識地重新規劃舞台內外的穿著——甚至可能和做造型的朋友合作，去二手店尋寶，打造一個小而多功能的衣櫃，兼具實用與自我表達。
