We worked together step-by-step on the same vision, creating the music and art to complement each other and I drew upon my experience living in what was formerly known as Manchuria, I have also taken inspiration from video games such as Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Genshin Impact to combine traditional Chinese instrumentation with modern production techniques and sounds
The result is 3 distinct compositions that play seamlessly with BKVoxel's amazing diorama of Chinese village life across your real-life daytime, sunset, or night-time - no matter where on the world you may be.

STORY:
DAY (06:00 - 13:59)
The little robot is fishing while waiting for his friend. Running water flowing through the village evokes sunshine and a gentle breeze. As a wind instrument, the "dizi" or bamboo flute carries the lazy tune that floats through the air.

SUNSET (14:00 - 19:59)
As the moon begins to come around, villagers return home from work; children come out to play and kitchens get busy preparing for the night's festivities. Our little robot meets his friend by the bridge. The music in turn becomes livelier, with gentle percussion and a deep, drone bassline complementing those traditional sounds from earlier in the day.

NIGHT (20:00 - 05:59)
With the last of the sunlight gone, the soundtrack goes nearly all electronic with rich, retrowave sounds that wouldn't be out of place in an imagined future from 1980's Tokyo. Analogue synthesizers, airy reverb, and bubbling basslines that make it difficult to know whether you are in the moment or merely dreaming. In the echo of inspiring music, the little robot and his friend enjoy the night together.
