On his new album The Poem of Life, composer, pianist, and producer Yu-Peng Chen invites listeners to reflect on memory, emotion and the shared human experience. The project stands as a powerful cultural statement, blending Western orchestral tradition with the expressive depth of Chinese musical heritage.

Known to a wide international audience for his globally successful game soundtrack Genshin Impact, Chen has reached listeners around the world, with his works accumulating more than two billion streams.
