Diastema of sleep and reminiscence --- from 《Parva naturalia》
Diastema of sleep and reminiscence was composed with an image of human consciousness, supported by the theory of placement, emptiness, space and movement described in Aristotle's physics. Rapid change of dynamics occurs frequently and the consciousness dives into the deeper level where we can't know it's the reminiscence or the sleep. This piece is the revised second movement of a piece for grand orchestra titled Parva naturalia.
