She is joined by Wang Xiao on the erhu, Dennis Lee on xiao and dizi flutes and Colin Alexander on cello for this session which was recorded outdoors at Real World Studios with a binaural head microphone.

Together they explore the sound of nature with their acoustic instruments in relation to classic themes of Chinese art: mountains and water, flowers and birds.
