"Formosan Dream'' is the latest single by Prairie WWWW in 2020. Three songs “Formosan Dream", "Whales’ Bones" and "Shells" are inspired by Taiwanese lost cultures, including prehistoric relics, ethnic groups, legendary species, and languages that are about to disappear.

Prairie WWWW tells a story about memories from Formosa island which "were passed away" and "about to pass away.” On the first and third track “Formosan Dream" and "Shells", they attempt to put more melody lines on double synthesizers, double lead chantings, and to deconstruct the electronic beat and rhythm.

Second track "Whales’ Bones" experiments with sound collage and environmental sounds, building a bridge between the first and the last dreamy pieces. Stumbled in this dream of Formosa island and self-seeking illusion, Prairie WWWW put forward this question of self-inquiry: What are we? Where are we from? Where will we go? The cruelty and the beauty of this island are revealed in constant inquiries: perhaps Symbiosism and Pluralism are our temporary answers to the future; the awakening has just begun.

Special thanks to Mia Min Yen
