about

Bonsai Modulation

Diverse sound can be heard from trees and plants. Sound can be heard when the wind rustles the leaves, when the twigs mingle with each other, when humans rub their hands against treebarks, and when branches fall. The trees also produce high frequency waves, much higher than our hearing capacities of 20 ~ 20,000 Hz. All sound materials used in the music of Bonsai Modulation were recorded, sampled and edited from different specimens of trees. Frequencies higher than 20,000 Hz were brought down to our hearing range.

Mimi Spelunking

From my formative years, I have been paranoid about water entering my ears. Learning that water can enter the ear through any exposure to water, I always wished that I could shrink myself to a size of a grain of rice and enter into my ear canals with a bucket to drain the water. During the initial stages of the composition process for this work, I revisited my imagination of entering, or spelunking into my own ears. Each section was carefully composed to accurately portray the spelunking experience with aural expressions. “Mimi” is a Japanese word for “ears”.

Shinkaigyo

“Shinkaigyo”, which is translated into “deep sea fish”, was written in fascination of the Mariana Trench in west Pacific Ocean; the deepest area of all seas in the world. I was always intrigued by the deep sea, which is still largely untouched and deeply mysterious to mankind.
