Escaping through the Inexistent Door

2020

    Ability of chanting while playing is needed.

  • In times that we need to escape from the external reality to ponder on our life, we often cannot find an exit to our own asylum. The composition describes this process of fear, of frustration, of disappointment and of despair. Circulated around a half-diminished extended tertian sonority, the trumpet would embark on a journey to fail attaining the desired major triad and with microtones to highlight the sorrowful lament.

    從現實中逃離至內心的避難所很困難。作品描述這個恐懼、憤怒、失落得過程。在這短短的作品裡,我圍繞著一個始終都沒有到達的和弦,記下屢試屢敗的途中經過的苦痛煎熬。
