“Zhi Zhi”
For piano, visual and computer-generated sound.
"Zhi Zhi" means "Tireless", this term not only describes a state of relentless spirit but also implies an infinite love and pursuit of art during the creative process. In the world of music creation, this spirit is particularly important. Music, as an art form that expresses emotions and conveys thoughts, demands creators to continuously explore, experiment, and innovate to achieve a resonance of the soul and reach new artistic heights.
The tireless process of creation is a long and lonely journey that requires creators to find a balance between technique and emotion, demanding both a meticulousness for musical detail and a sensitivity to the essence of art. Though full of challenges, this constant quest is also enjoyable. In this process, creators can delve deeply into themselves and express their unique perspectives and emotions through music.
