All compositions by Xiaofeng Jiang

as I drift off to a lucid dream (2023)
Into the Past with a Soul that's Less Mine (2023)
Once more I see you in a dream where even dreams feel false (2026)

intermission

I see my fragments in the crevice 
(2024)
The mirror where I once looked the same has shattered (2025)
notes, echoes, too, from that veiled realm (2024)
