Artist's Statement

 

My conception and goal for this piece is to use light and dark just like shading. When I created this music, I tried to make a story consisting many events. My piece is composed of ABA' sections. Basically my music has a melody and several accompaniments. First, you can hear a theme for this music with accompaniments and ornamentations, which is "A" section. I created a transition between "A" and "B." It makes a signal for the change to the next music texture. In the "B" section, I used famous classical pieces arranging it in my own way. Both pieces have major and minor keys. It should be interesting. In order to translate into the last section, which is similar to "A," the exact same instrument and accompaniment takes on an important role. In the "A'" section, although the theme melody is the same as before, there are several differences. At last, lingering sound makes a lasting impact on listeners. I often make use of the function of "Loop" that is useful to play over and over. Variation in volume, rhythm, instruments, and notes is effective on creating different impression. Through studying a creating music so far, I understand fluidity is important for music, and it has unlimited creative possibilities.
