Album Description

Japanese-style Indian curry, French-inspired Vietnamese cuisine, and Hakka salted pork with Mexican-style sauces… these culinary fusions open up a whole new world for the taste buds! For composer Chih-Chen Wei, who resides in the multicultural hub of Los Angeles, such diverse flavors have become a wellspring of creative inspiration. Drawing from this rich tapestry, she uniquely blends Indonesian gamelan music with jazz, creating the world’s first cross-genre Gamelan Jazz album - GAMELAN FLOWERS. “Being Sad”- when you're feeling down, there's no need to pretend to be strong. Truly acknowledge your sadness and allow yourself to not be strong. Go ahead and be sad! “A Brief But Beautiful Encounter” - The right person at the right time? The right person at the wrong time? The wrong person at the right time? Have you experienced such meetings? Whether it’s the wrong person, the right person, the wrong time, or the right time—every encounter is a gift in life that shapes who we are today. “No Answer” and “Doing Nothing” - do not mean Don’t do anything! or to give up everything. It says Don't blindly follow the crowd and rush into what everyone is competing for. The meaning of life lies in dedication—go wherever we are needed. “Finding Home”: Since the moment we grew up and left home, how many people, events, and experiences have we gone through to become who we are today? And is the person we are now still the same as who we once were? Perhaps our original self is also the one we ultimately find in the end. Life’s journey helps to blow away the dark clouds that once shrouded us, allowing the true self to emerge. “Be Happier”: With the bright timbre of the Gamelan and the inherent qualities of the major key, it delivers rich emotional value to those seeking to feel “a bit happier”! Each song expresses a distinct emotion and state of mind. Whether you're feeling joyful, calm, sorrowful, angry, wronged, or going through a rough patch, this music is like a gentle, refreshing breeze that softly soothes the soul.
