Prog. notes: 《二十八星宿》是一首电子音乐作品。二十八星宿是中国古代的天文名词,也是中国传统文化的重要组成部分之一。作曲者想象着中国古人们对宇宙的幻想，在这个作品中有一种特殊的音色出现了二十八次，运用电子音色来制造宇宙环境、爆炸、黑洞等意境，而电子音乐中融入的中国元素让音乐本身更具独特的魅力。
Twenty-Eight Mansions is a composition for electronic music. Twenty-Eight Mansions are ancient Chinese astronomical terms, which is one of the important parts of Chinese traditional culture. The composer imagined the ancient Chinese people's fantasy of the universe. In this music, there is a special timbre that appears twenty-eight times and the music creates artistic conception of cosmic environment, explosion, black hole and so on. Chinese elements in the music can make the music more charming and unique.
