Prog. notes: The track is featured by Chinese ethnic percussive music and compiled through electronic means. In this way, its composer tries to enable audiences to feel a brand new musical expression combining traditional Chinese musical instruments and modern technology.

The only thing that keeps unchanged in this world is “change” itself. The track is dedicated to giving expression to “change” in various aspects, namely, sound material, composition structure, rhythm and time as well as pitch of musical instruments. It aims to present a sensation of uncertainty and instability to its audiences by incessant changes. Meanwhile, it is also an embodiment of its composer’s reflections on this changeable world.
