Xiāng Lú for
violoncello
Xiāng Lú means an incense burner. Pale, white smoke endlessly rising from & colorful tiny pot - the sleek ascendance reminds us of the unfathomable time that passes by... What I depict in this work is the "in between" sound existing in the middle of "natural tones" and "noise". It feels almost fading but lingers on… it remains transparent. The smoke from the burner, unintentionally drawing a single stroke in the air once in a while, dreamily delays the lapse of time... These sounds, however, have been considered "vulnerable" and treated as "derivatives", haven't they? Stressing what you want to see in the way you like - this is the workstyle inspired by Katsushika Kokusai, the ukiyo-e painter. What is time? What dose "lapse of time" mean?... The piece attempts to answer such a fundamental question.
