In 2012, He Yi began to study and explore the culture of guqin.
"I was overwhelmed when I heard the sound of guqin for the first time," says He Yi. "At the very first note, I felt myself at far, far away.”
Her research didn't go all the way smoothly though. "At first, I tried ethnic vocal and bel canto, but neither sounded right with guqin. There were conflicts between the vocal and the instrument. I had a concept in my mind, but I couldn't express it precisely."
