Drift is written for the Rhythmic (躍韻) 2nd Anniversary Gala in the summer of 2016 in Hong Kong, performed by saxophonist Masanori Oishi and harpist Judy, Ching Man Ho. This piece is inspired by Chinese “Shan Shui” (山水) painting that traditionally depicts scenery or natural landscapes of the old China, using brush and ink.
 
The piece is then divided into five short movements, each capturing an impression of the drifting motion: drifting on downstream water, drifting away in the air, drifting in a steady tempo, drifting in irregular motions, drifting in unexpected currents, etc., as well as the actual movements of the “drifting” hand while painting in such style. The eventual subject of what is drifted away is left to the imagination of the listeners.

​52 Blue is said to be the loneliest whale in the world. First detected by sensors across the Pacific Ocean in 1989, they sing at an unusual frequency of 52 hertz, far above that of a typical blue whale’s singing at 10-40 hertz. These recorded tones usually last for 5-7 seconds, in groups of 2-6. The migratory patterns suggest that 52 Blue may in fact be a blue whale, but more likely to be a hybrid between two different species. Their unique song travels thousands of miles in the ocean. While other whales can detect this frequency, none has ever connected. Whales are deeply social animals, but 52 Blue continues to sing a cappella, alone and unanswered.
 
The music is about loneliness. The story of 52 Blue is used as a metaphor or symbol of being alone but in a positive way. Throughout the piece, the performer freely explores and interacts with oceanic soundscapes accompanied by rich synthesized materials; eventually, they experience a process of self-discovery.

A falling star has nothing to do with stars. It is caused by tiny bits of dust and rock called meteoroids that swipe across Earth’s atmosphere and burn up. The trail of light thus created is a meteor. Since the ancient times, humans have been fascinated by changes in the unreachable sky. Falling stars, especially, have motivated countless myths, the most common being that one’s wishes can be granted.
 
On the contrary, the “falling” of a star depicts the death of an important person in Chinese Mythology. In Ancient China, each emperor was accompanied with a professional “star interpreter” who served to predict the kingdom’s future by studying the messages from God. It all seems mythical today, where myths and legends are largely despised by modern science. But if the Moon can exert tidal force on the Oceans, whereas Man is composed mostly of water, a meteoroid approaching close to Earth’s surface must affect the living beings in ways we are yet to understand. Perhaps the creation of this composition is infused with hidden meanings from such phenomenon.

Time is fast and merciless...

​Double exposure is a photographic and cinematographic technique. It refers to the superimposition of two exposures to create a single image, resulting in something similar to the effect of audio convolution that captures aspects from both sources. An image that is exposed to light twice contains the subsequent image layered over the original. It is a visual effect frequently used to create ghostly images, or to add materials that were not originally present. Written for ensemble mise-en and its director Moon Young Ha, Double Exposure was premiered in Seoul, South Korea, on December 2017.

“I want to swallow you, have you melt into me and flow through my veins.”

"treading a line between states of flux" explores the way that two entities interact as they move in tide-like motions, and ultimately coalesce, becoming a single entity flowing together.

this piece was written for Ensemble Mise-En, and premiered in Seoul, at <incubating_001> in December 2017.

Pocket Electronic Symphony No. 1 is a smartphone symphony for a solo performer. The symphony is written as sound generating software which acts both as score and musical instrument. Using this software on their mobile phone, the performer changes the parameters of the sound generation process, navigates the successions of massive chords of synthesized sound and builds towering climaxes and suspenseful calm sections.
The work tries to create a new kind of symphonic sound for the mobile age and to find new space for passionate, dramatic and grand musical expression.

This recording is a solo concert by Andreja Andric in Musikhuset Aarhus, Denmark, arranged by DIEM elektro and the Royal Academy of Music. Composer: Andreja Andric (RS)

“Schönes Leben! du lebst, wie die zarten Blüten im Winter”
Friedrich Hölderlin

The winter flower (the image chosen by Friedrich Hölderlin as the beginning of his poem entitled “An Diotima”) has at least two meanings, in apparent contradiction, that inspired me for the composition of this piece. In one hand, as the poet puts it, the fragility and in the other hand, the resistance while being alone and facing the hurricane (“und in frostiger Nacht zanken Orkane sich nun”). The contrasting attributs within the very core of a single object are the central topic of this work.

We can find this concept at the beginning of the piece by the succession of musical fragments with different tempos and various intentions (intense, suspended, fragile, lively, etc.) then, while these fragments become larger and more stable, by accentuations, speed changes or timber variations.
Another way of translating this poetical image into a musical level, was the settlement of a discourse based on the overlapping, or the transition, of harmonic and in-harmonic sounds (from a spectral point of view). Thus, we can see different instruments proposing simultaneously various degrees of “harmonicity”, or just one instrument slowly modifying its timber by a certain extended technic, changing its harmonic composition.  
Finally, the conception and development of the musical material is also inspired by the idea of synthesis between fragility and resistance, using delicate and unstable ways of playing that, thanks to their persistance in time and micro variations, we can observe and understand from different angles.

The structure of …and see it vanish is highly linear in terms of pitch succession and rhythmic sequence. Bar lines are eliminated to give free flow to the music. It is meant not to have any clear and defined point of entrances and vanishing points for each instrument. They enter and interact freely with each other. When they vanish, they become transparent but still present, as if they have always been, and will forever continue to be.

...and see it vanish
