Refined over many years, these stokus are deceptively simple. They are to be slowly savoured: a new kind of music is being played. They point towards a deeper truth, a more transcendent way of looking at our existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach tale is a tiny epic, a delicate world in itself.
