The Musician of Yesteryear

Coal smoke fills the sky, and steam roars without end. The world turns as it always has, prosperity within reach. Yet its people remain ignorant.

Only a rare few peer through the mists of myriad histories, study forbidden knowledge, unravel hidden inspiration, and harness unseen powers. They are called the "Knowing Ones."

Beneath the world's grimy facade lie chaos and truth, gradually brought into focus by a mysterious incident at a concert:

"Hidden Knowledge, Shifting Surge, Phase, Ritual Vessel, Lord of Witnesses"-this is the extraordinary path of the "Knowing Ones";

"Inspiration, Composition, Piano, Conducting, Symphonic Movements"-this is the sacred calling of the "Artist."

Two paths, different journeys, one destination. Where vision leads, fate chooses.

"The world is full of imperfections, yet someone will one day behold its radiance."

-Contemporary composer, pianist, and conductor Carlon van Ning
