“Shadows of an Uncounted Journey” is one of the pieces written for a large collaborative project “one thousand curves ten thousand colours”, a multimedia presentation bringing together interactive acoustic and electroacoustic music with computer-generated images. The initial spark for this project came from Marguerite Yourcenar’s story “How Wang-Fo Was Saved”, based on a Chinese legend.
4 moments: I. an uncounted journey, II. shadows (death of Ling’s wife), III. shattered dream (emperor’s distorted world), IV. a journey reaching beyond.
