Tuk Tuk ～ for Woodwind quintet, Violin and Violoncello ～
I had the opportunity to visit Bangkok, Thailand, to be performed my piece again which was premiered in Tokyo at the JFC-sponsored concert "Asian Tradition・ Asian Contemporary 2019". As one of the means to transport in Bangkok, there is a three-wheeled taxi called "TukTuk", which pulls a rear car with a roof on a motorcycle. I felt the wording cute, and while pronouncing many times by myself, I noticed that it resembled the shape of the mouth when playing staccato in wood or brass instruments, and I got a hint for writing a new work. This piece alternates between fast parts characterized by tanking and slow parts. I hope that the audiences will enjoy the process leading up to the tense voice "Tuk Tuk" at the end.
