| Composer note | In traditional Asian ink paintings, we often discuss two complimentary aspects: brush and ink. Piano, in this composition, serves as the “brush,” and the percussion quartet, the “ink.” Following earlier works such as Brush-Stroke, Aural Hypothesis, and Harp Concerto, Inkscape continues to explore the relationship between ink painting, calligraphy and music. – Lei Liang |
