N2 - It seemed to me in this final garden of pleasure, that artistic director’s Ye Xiaogang Confucianist lateral thinking and allowance for Daoist flow outside the mundane pot of life had born much fruit in Beijing. These sound and creative exchange gardens in Beijing had brought composers from over all over the globe together in boundary blurring creativity and cultural understanding between Asian-Pacific aesthetics and world new music cultures. I am thrilled that the World New Music Days Festival will return to China in 2021. Perhaps Chinese Mandarin should become one of the official languages of the International Society for Contemporary Music in recognition of the inclusive changing map of world new music cultures, as demonstrated in the Sonic Fire Gardens of Beijing?
