雁過長空 – Across the Endless Horizon
雁過長空 – (Yan Guo Chang Kong) also known in English as, “Across the Endless Horizon” is an instrumental track by SIRIS. It was released on December 8, 2023.
“Yan Guo Chang Kong” takes its inspiration from the historical book of Chinese Zen Buddhism called “Wu Deng Hui Yuan” dating back to the Southern Song Dynasty in the year 1252.
The song title is inspired by an idiom that appears in the ancient text. Literally translated, it means “wild geese flying high in the sky without leaving any traces.” In the proper context, it’s a metaphor describing how the past is in the past; no traces or shadows are left behind.
SIRIS has implemented the use of the Chinese Erhu and Guzheng, which are both prominently featured on this track. Listeners will be taken on a musical journey that melds the modern beats and rhythms of the 21st century with the classical sounds of ancient China.
