Prog. notes: This work was inspired from the novella Mystery, written by Stephen King in 1980. Hand drum, with its ethereal and soft sound, was first played at the Frankfurt International Instrument Exhibition in 2001. The composer delved deeply into the skill of playing hand drum and the richness of its sounds, and has broken down the limitations of the form of sound by using four channels and treatment technology of electronic music. Besides, the composer also tries to create a special impression of space to make the audience feel like they are in the hand drum, so that they can have a better sense of its
mystery.
