In a set of four vignettes, based on the four short poems by Taiwanese contemporary poet Hsiung Hung, the piece completes itself as a song cycle - both musically and philosophically. This is the first two movements, performed continuously in cycles: life-death-life-death-life. The poetic ideas in the text inspired the musical structure and evocates Gamelan music.

【鬼域】(Ghost Project) 由蘭韻中樂團的團長董籃,聯合藝術家亞麗桑卓‧杜麗、肯納斯‧紐比和瑟綷斯諾‧哈他納共同創作,和Roundhouse社區藝術中心共同舉辦,並由董籃製作。本著對生命結束後靈魂的歸宿的好奇,他們彼此分享著台灣、東歐、加拿大、和印尼等不同文化的背景。經由對民間傳說與信仰的審視,並透過音樂、舞蹈、多媒體藝術和裝置藝術,藝術家們在萬聖節的週末,將Roundhouse演藝中心的舞台,變身為ㄧ座鬼影幢幢的鬼屋。

這場演出結合了亞洲的審美觀與現代的映像科技,讓來自神秘世界的幽靈飄盪在舞台上。圍繞音樂家們的視覺動畫,運用古代神話和傳統民間藝術中鬼的形象,投影在迷濛的森林、中國書法、和現代抽象畫的多層次背景上,營造出一種詭譎的景象。

蘭韻中樂團成立于1997年,二胡、箏、打擊樂的樂器組合,以古典與現代結合,曲目豐富多樣並不斷創新,跨越中國傳統及現代風格、包含結合西洋作曲法及東方藝術思維的原創­樂曲,並嘗­­­試世界音樂、爵士樂及即興演奏。溫哥華The Georgia Straight 週報曾形容蘭韻中樂團是"世界音樂的百花中,綻放得最明麗的奇葩之一"。
