Summer Fantasy (from 'Justice Online')

Yu-Peng Chen’s album Fantasyland represents a turning point in his career. The multi-award-winning composer, pianist and producer wrote it after leaving HOYO-MiX “to summarise and review my creative journey... as well as to bid farewell to the past and welcome the upcoming new chapter of my life”. Recorded with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and Robert Ziegler the album takes the form of a symphonic suite. Its colourful soundworld features non-western instruments including Indian bansuri and sitar, Japanese koto and shakuhachi, and an array of Chinese instruments. Chen is known for the richly melodic and stylistically multifaceted music he has written for a number of film and game soundtracks, and earned global fame as the musical mastermind behind the open-world role-playing game Genshin Impact. The forthcoming deluxe edition includes four bonus tracks and a booklet with notes by the composer.
