Prog. notes: Words between the lines, illusory tones, come from nowhere.
Guqin is the earliest plucked string instrument of the Hans. The sound of Guqin is unique, simple, antique and distant. Those features make Guqin an emblem of elegant literati and scholars in ancient China.
This piece tries to interact with Guqin (the instrument with archaic quality and Zen spirit), and computer, to reveal the intension and the connotations of the immemorial tones in a modern way.
