Composer's Notes

“What especially fascinates me about a sound body's vibrations is the natural development of its individual partials. This phenomenon becomes even more interesting when the sound body produces not one, but several fundamental tones, the partials of which vibrate in asymmetrical proportion and melting into each other. Starting from here, through the new ordering of the individual tones, I try to form a sound texture that had previously existed only in my imagination.
For me, listening to music is not limited to the audible tones. Inaudible elements can change in certain relationships to each other, thus gaining even more meaning than audible ones. By reducing the material, I would like to enable the listener to contact and sense his own imagination, thereby experiencing the sound in an individual way.
The composition consists of three parts:
1: restless and full of contrasts, 2. fast and animated, 3. slow and illusory. In terms of time, the work is about the past, the present and the yet intangible future. The imaginary interwoven sound images are of different origins and apply to reality as well as to the world of fantasy.” (Xiaoyong Chen)
