In the fourth part, the story line is gradually coming to a climax and the protagonist is going through intense psychological changes and self-conflicts. At the same time, throughout the performance, the fourth part is the part that tends to show the dark line of the story most directly, i.e. the story of the carp living in the depressing waters and longing to cross the dragon’s gate, alluding to the fact that people in modern society are struggling in the crowded living environment.
Therefore, this part of the music was produced with a strong contemporary style and a lot of real-life sound samples, such as alarm clock samples, typing samples and loud vocals. At the same time, this part of the music is chaotic and noisy in general, using a lot of pre-produced piano tones and noise tones, trying to create a conflicting and dramatic aural effect with these dissonant musical elements.

The song expresses the theme of the story (including the metaphorical part) relatively directly, elaborating on the dark end of the story. And during the process of making the music in the project, it occurred to me that, as a form of performance similar to a stage play, it might be possible to write a song similar to the style of an opera to create an ending similar to the curtain call of a film or stage play.
So I produced the song and created subtitles with lyrics similar to the end credits of the film. Since it’s a live singing performance, only the backing vocals part was uploaded, and the vocals were not pre-recorded.
