Baroque chamber pop, French and Italian dance suite, harpsichord, string quartet (violin I & II, viola, cello), viola da gamba, theorbo, baroque flute, no drums, no synths, no electric instruments. Dry sly intimate Mandarin female vocal, close-mic, half-spoken, light ornaments and trills. Mood elegant, ornate, secretly funny, then genuinely tender. Ornate 18th-century counterpoint against 21st-century distraction: instruments play straight, the joke is only in the words. Tempo shifts hard movement to movement: allemande 4/4, sarabande slow 3/4, courante fast 3/2, minuet graceful 3/4, fugue with strict subject and answer entries stacking like unread messages, slight accelerando, gigue 6/8 rush hour, chaconne in minor on a passacaglia bass. One truly beautiful un-ironic minor movement near the end so beauty and joke blur. Terraced dynamics, harpsichord lute stop, sudden silences, clean crisp chamber acoustic, no reverb wash, no straight pop beat.
