— The sudden warm wind, following the small summer heat

As the saying goes: “small summer heat, big summer heat, steamed up and boiled down.” With the advent of the solar term, the hottest period of the year began. The scorching sun scorched the earth, the sultry was like an invisible curtain wrapped in the four fields, and all things in the world accumulated energy in the restlessness.
This song “Little Summer Heat” was created by me using a combination of 3/4 and 5/4. This irregular combination of beats, like cicadas singing in summer, is messy and without losing vitality, and also fits people’s anxious mood in the heat.
In the choice of instruments, I use cold-toned plucked instruments. The timbre of such instruments is clear and melodious, as if the breeze blows, bringing a touch of coolness and tranquility to the hot summer.
