This album features original pieces composed in 1970's. The discovery of Persian wine glass with their mysterious translucence in an old Shilla Kingdom (57 BC-668 AD) tomb prompted this composition. The pieces present a melody of mystical beauty on subtly changing rhythms portraying the Shilla fantasy of a remote west symbolizing the beautiful Silk Road.
