About Circle of Time EP

I am writing a short story about a woman falling into the circle of time – who was trapped in eternity, who experienced the reincarnation countless times, and who finally realized that all was nothing but an illusion and finally came back home in the end.

This story will be divided into 7 chapters and 24 pieces of music in the complete album. You will go through a story of life, death, time, and space with my musical experience.

I look forward to what you will hear, what you will see, and what ideas you will get.

In fact, the concept of time is from the reincarnation rooted in the Oriental culture.

In the East, people believe that with the real relief from the heart, as long as all illusion can be seen through, you can go beyond all limits to get real freedom.

Furthermore, some ideas come from the People’s Temple Cult. This is the history of the most well-known cult event, in which 900 people committed suicide together, including 200 children. Ever since I learned about this, I have been thinking: what exactly is that illusion,hope, and curse based on the specific religion that pushes people into such craziness?

In my story, there is a woman who wants to leave the cult, so she needs to find herself again. She thinks she could find a place to get rid of it all, but she is always inseparable from the cult. This is why she has been trapped in her heart and in the curse.

She goes to a town and a mountain, and experiences the eternal time. Eventually, she comes to realize that in fact she has never left, and the only way to get away from the cult is to face their greatest fear in the heart.

I hope you will enjoy the EP before the complete album is released.
