Calm The Mind (梦), released by ABC Records in 2012, is a soothing compilation of contemporary Chinese folk instrumentals designed to ease stress and invite emotional calm. This beautifully produced album—subtitled “Dream” in Chinese—is performed by a distinguished group of traditional instrumentalists, including Zhao Yi on guzheng, Chen Lingling on pipa, Xu Yun on erhu, and Dou Liting on yangqin.

The album blends classical Chinese melodies with a modern sensibility, using rich acoustic textures and delicate phrasing to create a meditative soundscape. It opens with “Futile Love In Face Of Ruthless Life,” a gentle guzheng-led piece that sets the contemplative tone of the album. “Moon’s Reflection On ErQuan,” one of the most iconic erhu compositions in Chinese music, is performed with emotional depth by Xu Yun, evoking quiet sorrow and nostalgia.

“Colourful Clouds Chasing The Moon” and “Sweet Words In The Beautiful Night” are more buoyant, with the yangqin and pipa providing brightness and sparkle. The album often evokes images of nature and classical Chinese poetry, particularly in tracks like “The Beauty Dancing With The Butterflies” and “Spring Comes Again,” where the melodies seem to flutter like petals or flowing silk.

Despite its soft ambiance, Calm The Mind is far from monotonous. Each track presents a unique emotional palette—from the romantic elegance of “Emotion Of Deep Love” to the playful grace of “Larking Girls In Boudoir.” “Wheat Waves Pleasing The Hearts,” the closing piece, leaves the listener in a place of quiet joy, as if watching golden fields ripple in the wind.

Whether used for meditation, relaxation, or simply to create a peaceful environment, Calm The Mind is a masterful collection that showcases the emotional richness of traditional Chinese instruments. It’s an ideal listen for those seeking a serene escape through the beauty of sound.
