It took me exactly another 5 months to translate it back to English properly by borrowing the idea from "The fire was ignited by glitch (sparks)".

Ignite

: to set something on fire

: to cause something to burn

: to give life or energy to (someone or something)

(Source: Merriam-Webster Dictionary)

1) First step, find a well-known phrase, for example:

星星之火，可以燎原

2) Get the idea, for example:

星星之火可以故障

3) Get it abbreviated, for example:

星火燎原=星火故障

This is the original version. It has NOT been revised for 11 year old children yet. However, I do NOT see much differences within current English version as a second language speaker. That could be a point for my research in the future!

注意，这里有一个固定的“节奏”

你可以用脚跟着它打拍子

这首乐曲的材料选自各种乐器的录音片断，将其裁截为细碎的片断之后结构而成

听，这些声音的“时值”相同，并且都是如此短小

在这些声音材料之中，彼此之间能够相互区分的关键就在于它们的“音色”

各种各样的音色加上多重分层处理，构成了即丰富又浓重的声音拼贴

作曲家削减了紧张度，制造出一个略显清淡的声响空间

声音少了，那么它们彼此之间的空间也就大了

节奏也随即变得不那么精确了

声音之间的结构变得松散，声响空间略显自由

如此一来，它与早先拥有“固定节奏”的片断形成了鲜明的对比

Notice that there is a fixed 'tempo'

You can tap your foot to it

The music is made up of micro-edits from a collection of instrument recordings

Listen how all of the sounds have a similar short 'duration'

One of the things that makes the sounds different from each other is their 'timbre'

The multiple layers of various timbres create a rich and dense collage of sounds

The composer has changed the intensity, creating a less-dense sonic space

There are less sounds and more space between the sounds

The tempo has also become less strict

The sounds are less structured and a bit more freer in the sonic space

Which creates a very different quality from the earlier fixed tempo section
