White clouds rose from the distant mountains, swaying and drifting into the air. I am willing to go away with the wind like white clouds and end freely. The clouds are slowly dissipating under the sunlight, but have been shattered by the wind. They are weak and don't know where they are flying. The sky is so high, and the colors have faded. If only we could follow the dragon and take off, it would also nourish all things and help the vicissitudes of life. The work is written for Portuguese guitar and electronic music, with four-channel prerecorded voices and a lot of use of reverse bedding as the background layer, creating a romantic and swaying atmosphere.
