#1078 — Smooth and green 青丝蛇 | Welcome the Year of the Snake with Toronto Symphony Orchestra

Hi everyone,

This three-voice guzheng piece was composed and recorded yesterday. I used all opening string harmonics in this song.

On Monday, I saw a small smooth green snake in the forest (photo below). I nearly stepped on it when I jumped over a tree trunk. The snake was angry and turned its head to be ready to defend itself, which you can see in the photo. That night, a little snow fell on Nashville, and it’s been cold since then. I hope this snake has found a safe place to hibernate for the winter.

Speaking of snakes, next year is the Year of the Snake, and I am excited to tell you that I will be performing with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra for their lunar new year concert!
