Music commentary
In the summer of 2006, the author traveled to the ancient city of Vannes in the southwest of France. I was impressed by the ten thousand-year-old fossils in the museum. I stayed in a small hotel overnight and had many strange dreams. After waking up, I still have a fresh impression, but I wrote this song to express my feelings. Many illusions in the dream haunted and finally stopped.

The whole song uses two sets of twelve-tone sound sequences as the main material, but does not use strict sequence methods, but adopts some similar to the format composition method (Formula Composition) commonly used by German modern composer Stockhausen, but still adds some of my own Views and design.
