There will be times of sadness. Accept it.
Pain will give you strength
Make it a part of you
Listen to my heartbeat in the darkness
Feel The vibration between every breaths
Our audio uses the musical progressive muscle relaxation technique, one of the music therapy techniques called Receptive Music Therapy methods.
In June 2016, star child Yu Xuan brought a rabbit doll to Pan Luo Min Charity Art Studio in Longwan Village, Wenzhou, where she started her art creation. "The rabbit is Yu Xuan's favorite doll, and it is the only toy she has. The rabbit is repeated in her paintings in various shapes and forms, and Yu Xuan's doodling and dressing of the rabbit symbolizes the externalization of her heart.
Things like gauze and thread are ordinary daily necessities in the eyes of ordinary people, waste and garbage in the perception of medical care, useless, and to be dismantled, they must be discarded.
But what does such an image mean for a patient? It is wrapped around the body, fitted to the wound, stitched by stitch on the operating table, gradually dissolved in the body, and unresolved, unspeakable physical and mental pain.
I always think that's important—the heavy gap between different identities, just like the presentation of the work. Everyone is busy with their own lives, how can they understand what you really think? That's why I use surgical sutures to illustrate and hide my voice in the gaps and edges of the gauze. Because this is a word that no one understands, no one cares, and does not want to speak. This is the distance that different people can't reach out the window—the last hope and yearning.

If they only could feel exactly how I’m feeling now:
how dirty, how out of breath, how incredibly close to death.
Millions of years spawning the Earth
and giving it life, millions of years taking life away too.
Everyone travelled through me, and everyone wanted to conquer me,
put their name on me as if I could be a possession.
I still hear their voices singing odes to me,
I still remember the heroes who praised and feared me,
I watch them murmuring the prayers exulting my immortality until this day.
But

пляшет человек.
На нитке, бедного,
таскают
А он,
калека средь калек,
за счастье
это почитает.
Игрушка:
пляшет человек…

Lutao sam galaksijama,
Tragao,
Za blagom izgubljenih civilizacija,
Ponekad bi ulov bio veliki,
Nekada bi drugi lovci bili brži,
Svaki od tih izgubljenih svjetova,
Imao je svoje rođenje i krah,
U ratovima i katastrofama,
I svoje bitisanje,
Iskru u tami beskonačnosti.
Put me doveo,
U galaksiju oblika kola,
Na živu, malu planetu,
Jedne zabačene zvijezde,
Sretoh nju,
Izučavala je kosmogoniju,
U njenim očima ogledao se svemir,
Poljubac joj bješe vulkan ljubavi,
Bio sam siromah,
Dok je ne zaprosih,
A, ona mi reče,
Da!

Music:‘til the end - Mitis
If you can, please feel every moment, listen to the outside world, instead of following the crowd. It It will help to love yourself, if you can accept honest self-examination. Keep the original intention in the face of changing things, and maintain patience in the impetuous atmosphere. We can take root in the turbulent tides, and find the inner sense of order in the chaos. Have a lawful heart and a peaceful breath.
Music:Tango to Evora - Loreena McKennitt
The blue sea of time is deep, how many vicissitudes. The rise and fall of civilizations, prosperity or decline, success or failure, let future generations comment. How many past events are rolled up by the waves, the youth that cannot be repeated, the hometown that cannot be returned, the old friends who cannot be seen again... Although I yearn for eternity, I know that I can't get there.
All I can grasp is this life, this moment, and this heart.
Music:Record player - Daisy the great / AJR
Because of some regrets and missed experiences, a percon can be constantly sinking into the quagmire of memories, constantly regurgitating the past, repeatedly wishing that everything was different. This kind of regret thoughts are addictive. Regret also makes people unable to see the reality clearly. It never happened and you can not help let the fantasy fill the whole space. The imagination and reality overlap, just like a daydream. But Life is a cyclical but full of random and unknown journey, if you are indulging in memories, it is because there is still a knot in the heart that has not been untied. Only by facing it directly can we solve the problem and save ourselves from drowning. Let go of the memories, move on, and fall in love with your future self.

This is a three parts of music.
The first paragraph wants to express a person who is psychologically melancholic and has a somewhat Lofi style in music expression. Time passes and the crowd becomes noisy, but the protagonist is immersed in his own emotional world. It may not necessarily be painful, but it may also be a bit enjoyable, or gradually getting used to interacting with one's own emotions. But unfortunately, it seems that he accidentally walked into the depths of darkness.
The second paragraph of the music wants to express that darkness is slowly devouring the threat. He seemed unable to make a sound, unable to open his eyes, as if he had entered a strange space. The music expression incorporates a bit of Dubstep style. With the sound of a cello and sound effects, it was like a thread of light passing through the darkness, taking the protagonist out of it. The clock rang again, indicating that he had returned to real life.
The third piece of music turns into a slightly brighter string in major, and the protagonist may still be feeling melancholic, but he has already accepted the light and chosen it.
During the creative process, I also thought of the state in which elderly people face illness or death in their twilight years.
Named "Twilight" because it is not completely bright or completely black. The flow of energy in the middle is more dramatic.
