for me felt like I was wearing a costume on stage. I still feel that way,” he says smiling admiringly at his neatly painted cuticles. “I feel in day-to-day life that I’m wearing a mask in a performance where I am trying to conform becau I must. That’s fine, I don’t complain about that. I have to play along to be a somewhat functional human being and be able to pay my rent. When I'm on a stage I feel alive.”
Perhaps Gaymer’s most famous venture is one that goes by the name of Guiguisuisui. Much like his hairstyle, it’s a rather bizarre blend of styles and started growing in 2014. With a blues ba, it incorporates rock, electro and even a bit of disco.
At first, it consisted of the man himlf, a couple of guitars (one of which was made from an old悄然是什么意思
skateboard), a heavy range of effects pedals, a couple of backing tracks and a few elaborate costume changes. It was a process that was as much about白菜的做法大全

“Initially when she joined, we were just doing the same kind of stuff I'd been doing before. Then she came a little bit more to the forefront becau she could sing more melodically than I could. She was also a visual artist, so she could do more of that kind of stuff. It was a balance between brutal male energy, even though I'm not a very masculine dude off stage. When I’m on stage I'd project that energy, so she gave it a softer influence.
“We went to Europe four times and did some amazing shows in Cambodia and Thailand. There was a really fun techno festival in Poland where we performed in a tent. That performance attracted a lot of people and ended up being for tho who needed a safe space, if you understand my meaning.”

man show, there are no plans to revert Guiguisuisui to its original
format following the couple’s divorce. Ultimately, it was an experience made better with the inclusion of his former partner and he says to go solo with that project again would be a step backward.
“There might be room to pick it up down the line, but I definitely need some space away from it. When my ex left Beijing, she left a lot of her costumes behind. She was like ‘you can find
another female singer to take my place.’ I might one day, but it's not quite as easy as that becau it was so interwoven in our relationship.”
Since the mutual paration, Gaymer has immerd himlf in a whole host of different ventures.
