A mellow, Lydian-mode pipa × piano duet composed by Minqi and PolFrank during her 2023 residency in Spain.

“Peachwine” drifts between half-dream and half-wake—a place where time softens, worries loosen, and joy tastes sweet on the tongue. With lyrics drawn from Tang Yin (1470–1524)’s classic poem ‘Tao Hua An Ge’, the track lets you wander through falling blossoms with a warm, lingering buzz in your chest.

The pipa’s expressive, percussive quality lends itself to a wide range of musical styles. This album features reinterpretations of select tracks from video games and anime, chosen to highlight the pipa’s unique musicality and bold personality.

Each track was carefully selected to showcase the pipa’s distinctive character and versatility. Hope you enjoy the journey through its expressive voice.
