Lie Que (2025) ; 7:55

by Mengyi Liu

Sichuan Conservatory of Music

“Thunder is whipped by electricity, and where electricity shines, it is called a column of defects.” The word “lie que” is composed of the words “lie” and “que”, where “lie” means to separate and display, symbolizing the splitting of lightning; while “que” symbolizes the splitting of lightning; and “que” means the splitting of lightning. The word “Lie” means to separate, to display, symbolizing the split of lightning; while “Lack” refers to the gap, the fissure, representing the break of the sky. The work combines guzheng and electronic music to depict the magnificent scene of lightning traveling through the cracks in the sky and splitting the clouds.
