The Music of Ink Painting: Breath

'The Music of Ink Painting: Breath' by Chang Jing

Stunning! Takes you away to some far off place that says... Quiet... Breathe... just Be. Lovely video, very interesting sound combinations. I love it!

Chang Jing, Song: Breath (音樂山水畫:呼吸), album: Open Music Li Xian 离弦 (2005)  Performed and co-composed by Chang Jing. Learn more and download the album.

The Chinese zither or guzheng is a traditional musical instrument with a unique ancient sound.

Chang Jing was born in Chengdu, Sichuan, at the age of 8 she began studying the guzheng. She attended Sichuan Conservatory of Music a middle school affiliated with the guzheng. From 1991-1995 she attended China Conservatory of Music and graduated first in her class, then joined China Song and Dance Troupe. I couldn't find an official webpage or additional information.
