Context: The title comes from a poem of American poet Gary Snyder, a great scholar of Asian poetry and spirituality. The verse goes “Rustle and shimmer of icy creek waters”. Snyder, who studied ancient Japanese and Chinese poetry, is constantly inspired by nature. It is the rhythm of Snyder’s poem and the visual and auditive images triggered by it which inspired the writing of this piece.

Rustle and Shimmer, for Chinese bamboo flute, percussion and electroacoustic layers, is dedicated to its two performers, LI Yue and Thierry MIROGLIO.

《沙沙作响，闪闪发光》作品的名称来自于美国诗人加里·斯奈德的一首诗，他是研究亚洲诗词和其精神的一位伟大学者。他的这首诗中写道“冰冷的河水沙沙作响，闪闪发光”。斯奈德曾经学习日本与中国的古代诗词，因此他不断受到自然的启发。也正是斯奈德这首诗的韵律，和由此引发的视觉和听觉意象，激发了作品的创作。
《沙沙作响，闪闪发光》是为中国竹笛、打击乐和电子音乐而作，同时把它献给李月和蒂埃瑞·米罗格里奥两位表演者。
