This new released CD album is the result of collaboration with four UK-based composers to allow the flautist to take a creative role by adding embellishments to the composed melodies. The embellishments are based on the hulusi style of the Dai people in Lianghe, China, transplanted and developed with modern flute techniques in line with Lin's aesthetic preferences. Flute melodies are transformed by being profoundly intertwined with personalised embellishments, leading the finished music into new artistic visions. All four new compositions are based on different aspects of Dai culture according to Lin's fieldwork research n 2016.
