It’s like, this almost 1500 year old experimental impressionist track, I have yet to hear anything else from this era of Chinese classical music that sounds like it. It includes a whole orchestra of various Chinese instruments, and during its course it keeps switching from slow ambient drones, a group people yelling madly, rhythmically advanced fast paced sections, switches from very low sound frequency to very high sound frequency and much more. At the center of it all is a high-pitched bone-flute resembling the sound of a bird, chirping together with various howling wind instruments and ‘’background effects’’. That is if you can call them background effects, they're as important to the composition as the main instruments, just as the silence is as important as the sound.
