The Cleaving of Chaos / 混沌之破
The ritual ambient track opens with dense layered drones and textured atmospheres, supporting spacious Xun melodies that weave tension. Verses add echoing chimes and intricate guqin plucks. Swelling bass and elemental noise build toward a vast, resonant sky drum-driven climax.

Lyrics
🐉 盘古开天地 · The Cleaving of Chaos
https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/盘古
一部关于混沌初开、宇宙诞生、人神未分的中国神话史诗剧。
☯️Act I – “Before the Sky Had a Name / 天未有名之时”
🌑Scene I – “The Cleaving of Chaos / 混沌之破”
🎼Style of Music: Primordial ritual ambient × percussion-driven archaic drone × Chinese guqin minimalism Tempo: No rhythm, driven by "breathing" , Tonality: Original five notes (gong, shang, jue, zhi, yu), low-frequency long sound extension
Instrumentation & Sound Design: Low-frequency pottery Xun reverberates in the left channel, representing the breath of chaos, he chimes ring deeply, and each line of lyrics rings, simulating the awakening of time, The guqin plays staccato, like the sound of the world breaking apart, The bass sings like a recitation, with the sound of wind whistling and stone collapse in the background, Occasionally, the sky drum (cloud gong) gradually sounds, like the sound of "the gate of heaven opening"
Verse 1 – Deep Xun drone begins
无上
无下
无形
无声
无终
Verse 2 – First bell strike, darkness breathes
暗非夜
光非日
动非行
静非止
气未分
Chorus 1 – Guqin enters, harsh strike then tremble
一念如斧
斧起混沌裂
声未成言
裂已成时
万象始动
Verse 3 – Wind rises faintly in left channel
其中有神
不知其名
不为人形
不为兽貌
其目为昼夜
Verse 4 – Second bell, wind turns to slow roar
其息成风
其骨为岳
其泪为川
其声为雷
其身裂而成天
Chorus 2 – Thunder samples over low drum strike
盘者上举
古者下沉
一身为二界
一斧为百物
万年一息
Bridge – Chant fades into whisper
「盘古之力
开天以形
立地以神
碎己为生」
（咒语回音，反复三次）
Chorus 3 – All instruments slow, rising drone on ancient fifth
骨成山
血成江
发为星河
气为青云
魂为日月
Chorus 4 – Guqin harmonics drift like stars
天地既立
不见其主
唯闻其息
万灵初惊
宇未有名
Outro – Everything silences but one final chime
混沌已破
神已入世
名——未可言之也。
