The star of the album is niko", one of the traditional string instruments from China. There are many instruments in the lute category that are played with the bow rubbing against the instrument which produce the sounds, such as batokin" from Mongol, hegum" from the Korean peninsula and many others just from Asia alone. As for Europe, might not we say that violins are representative of string instruments there?

It is said that instruments were played initially to imitate the human voice. If that is so, niko is the perfect instrument to express the melodies of the Asian continent in the tones of this continent. From the lowest to the highest, the tones stretch expansively and they conjure up in the listener's minds, images of the broad and slightly red tinted skies and the green fields of the Asian continent and the people living tranquil lives there surrounded by the rich natural landscapes.

Of the songs contained in the album, only the six piece and the ninth piece are pure Chinese classics, these being, YUEYA WUGENG" and YUYEYE" and the rest are all original works created for this album. And despite the abundance of Western harmonies and Instruments such piano and guitar, the sounds produced by niko maintain the gentle and the sweet melancholy tones of the Orient and express the great openness of the pastoral life in the Asian continent.
