OrzbauⅢ

OrzbauⅢ is composed for cellist, Kei Yamazawa and voice and body performer, Motoharu Kawashima. I composed it as a sketch with two sound elements which are interjection in daily life and fragments cited from renowned cello phrases often seen in the Orchestra study. It would not start with any kind of link creation through cooperative work by each element. But at the moment of encounter and separation of the alien elements, so called musical cramps occur one after, and generate dramaturgy in a shot span of time.
