The basic instruments of this piece are glockenspiel, vibraphone, xylophone, marimba and timpani. Percussions with indefinite pitch are also employed to add colors to the music. This piece starts off in a mysterious atmosphere that gradually turns into an energetically theme at the end.

這是我第一首敲擊樂作品。
創作敲擊樂非常有難度。
看似很自由,可以發揮很多不同的音效,
實則自由就是危機,音效太豐富容易令聽眾疲倦。
於是這首曲我選用了有音高的木片琴、
鋼片琴、鐘琴、馬林巴琴和定音鼓。
希望以和聲、旋律的補救,掩飾自己節奏感和音色控制上的不足。

這些曲創作時的基本意念是非常 “Theory” 的。
一開始就想到運用小二度、小三度和大三度的音程為主幹。
從這幾個音程衍生出 hexatonic system 和 octatonic system。
出來的和聲有點詭秘和迷幻的感覺。
Alfred 聽說覺得這首曲像哈利波特。
