Nüshu (Ten Feet Tall)(女书:十尺高) — from the forthcoming album Year of the Beat
“Nüshu (Ten Feet Tall)” is a forthcoming track from Year of the Beat, an album project built around China, translation, shanzhai aesthetics, hidden language, feminine ascent, and the strange afterlife of old songs.
The piece draws on Nüshu, the women’s script associated with Hunan, as a symbol for speech that was never absent, only unread. Musically, it moves between eerie minor synth verses and bright Western grand-piano choruses, turning hidden writing, shoes, thread, bread, kitchen, fire, and memory into a clean, strange art-pop ritual of belated recognition.
This sample project presents the song as a compact portfolio example: composition, lyric writing, AI-assisted production direction, vocal design, visual concepting, and album-world development for a larger body of work.
