Program notes

A musician's body grows to resemble their instrument, with fingers changing length or oral structures adapting, moving in harmony as if they are one with the instrument. Inspired by this, I aimed to explore the relationship between the sounds produced by the instrument and the body through this work. By expressing white noise, friction sounds, and more through both the body and the instrument, I intended to showcase their interaction. Furthermore, this work seeks to represent the dialogue between the audience and the performer, as well as between the performers themselves.
