Just like the sounds of Ma Chang-sheng¡¦s chanted poetry and guqin in previous albums, the poetry set to music in this album elevates us high up into the clear blue where we may stroll in solitude in a boundless realm, all the while being calmly led to the innermost recesses of the heart for a lengthy reflection on life.
This album contains the romanticism of the poet, the freedom of the sojourner, and the contemplation of the Zen practitioner. Ma¡¦s new age interpretation to great works of the Buddhist monk Hong Yi and the poet Feng Nai-chao initiate a dialogue of the mind and spirit that transcends time and space.
¡¹The 2012 Poetic Mantras/Best Religious Music Album award at the 24th Golden Melody Awards.
¡¹The 2013 Chanting on the Pure Mountain/ popular album of zither music in the contemporary Chinese music world.
¡¹His 2015 album Auspicious Valley is widely hailed as a profound treasure.
An encounter with both the moment and eternity
on the most silent skyline,from a millennium ago, ten millennia ago;a rendezvous of shining radiance from any and all directions,looking upon each other, not to forget one another.
Within the faint rays of dawn, the eyes of the poet and the sojourner meet with a smile,with romanticism, freedom, and empty contemplation,welcoming the light blue emptiness in complete understanding of each other.
