The whole picture is composed of 2520 neon tubes light up one by one in every 10 seconds which are controlled by the single note of Guqin (traditional Chinese musical instrument) during the 7-hours full process of displaying. Synchronous with the music, the neon light up when a note struck that last from 2 to 3 seconds, and leave it into a silence of 7 to 8 seconds.

The landscape brought by the light, the light is determined by time, however, the music is sounded by the landscape, which is harmonious with the light.

The whole construction and processing of the music is digital in form with a mechanized method, which is a kind of quantized designed music.
