Abstract Details

2006, M.M., University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music : Composition.
The focal point of the piece is the alteration of communications. Through the communication of the two people, their relationship may change as times goes by: they sometimes become friendly or estranged depending on the environment. I imagined the two people from the stars are sending light signals between each other through the space. The vibraphone and violin are the representative signals. Since the two stars are distant, the time lag of the light signals influences their relationship severely. I can also apply this concept to our everyday life. Although the two people are talking to each other face-to-face, their invisible feelings (signals) may change their relationship. The timpani is used for dramatic climaxes when the violinist becomes estranged from the percussionist. {TranSpell}, the instrument developed by myself, spectrally and ethereally accompanies the two instruments.
