Prog. notes: This piece is commissioned by 2006 Shanghai International Electroacoustic Music Week. The work is composed for voice, pipa (a traditional Chinese instrument) and interactive electronics. The idea of the work comes from a ceremony of Lamas chanting. The live performance of singer and the pipa soloist is recorded, transformed, overlapping replayed, frequency-shift delay, reverb and spatialization through an 8-channel system, which creates a rich space full of various sounds where audiences placed themselves. It is worth noting that no pre-recorded sound effect is used in this work. I also expect to provide a structure to allow the dialogue between the performers and their multiple mirror variants produced by the live electronics and finally towards a harmonic.作品受2006上海国际电子音乐周委约，为人声、琵琶与交互电子音乐而做。2008年9月7日，作品的新版本在奥地利Ars Electronica电子艺术节上全球首演。
