Monique Chao Jazz Orchestra - Time Chamber

Descriptions -

1. Hollow
For jazz musicians, the sun, air, and water are the stage. Without the stage, their lives are just empty like a hollow drum.

2. Hyperbolic Time Chamber
Inspired by Japanese anime Dragon Ball where the warriors train their ability. Inside the chamber, both time and gravity are different from the outer world. After training, warriors can upgrade directly to Super Saiyans. This song was written during the global epidemic to describe how jazz musicians isolated themselves at home, practicing their instruments.

3. Women and Gravity
What if there was no gravity on Earth? Things would float away, also the numbers.

4. Melting City
All big cities in the world are like hot, bubbling pot, cooking good and bad, black and white, right and wrong. Do you happen to find them beautiful like I do?

5. Whale Fall
After each whale dies, its huge carcass will slowly sink. As it sinks, it is eaten by living creatures and it completes the marine food chain. This process is called “whale fall,” also known as “The last tenderness of the whale”.

6. Trophy
What’s so good about being a teenager? 1) you’re about to start an adventurous life. 2) even if you lose the game sometimes, eventually you will win. Youth is your trophy.

7. Chakra Marching
“Chakra” (Indo-European language in India) means “wheel” and refers to your energy points in your body. Chakra in Japanese manga series Naruto refers to a vital component in ninja world. It could be used to perform “jutsu”.

8. Chester Is Boss
Chester Bennington (1976-2017), lead vocalist and composer of Linkin Park, RIP.
