A sound colage made of over 20 recorded sounds, this composition intended to mimic clasic japanies dace-drama music,Kabuki music can be divided into three categories: geza, shosa-ongaku, and ki and tsuke.

Geza includes music and sound effects played on stage, behind a black bamboo curtain called a kuromisu. Geza music can be further subdivided into three types. The first type is uta or song. Uta is sung accompanied by a shamisen. Typically there are multiple uta singers singing together. The second type is called aikata. It involves shamisen music without any singing. 
The third type is narimono. Narimono is played by small percussion instruments[4] besides the shamisen.

Shosa-ongaku encompasses music that is played on the stage and accompanies acting and dancing. Shosa-ongaku includes the Takemoto, Nagauta, Tokiwazu and Kiyomoto music styles. Takemoto accompanies acting. Nagauta, Tokiwazu and Kiyomoto accompany dancing in kabuki (dance drama).

Ki and tsuke describe the distinctive sounds made by striking two square oak boards. When the two boards are struck together, they produce the ki sound. When they are struck against a hardwood board, they produce the tsuke sound.

Wind is a state of moving air in which creates a variety of sounds by interacting with objects. The composition is based on repetitive loops followed by synthesized piano chord along with recorded double bass melody. Each cycle is accompanied by a distinct beat. Although these loops might be perceived as a repetitive cycles but fundamentally each has a unique characteristics. The goal of this composition is to indicate one of the fundamental attributes of existence that can be described by No-cloning theorem . The theorem states that it is impossible to create an independent and identical copy of an arbitrary unknown quantum state which means there is no state in existence that can happen twice although we humans might perceive many repetitive events and things in our life time.

I Have A Deram

Niflheimr the cold, dark, misty world of the dead, ruled by the goddess Hel. It was the last of nine worlds, a place into which evil men passed after reaching the region of death (Hel). Situated below one of the roots of the world tree, Yggdrasill, Niflheim contained a well, Hvergelmir, from which many rivers flowed. In the Norse creation story, Niflheim was the misty region north of the void (Ginnungagap) in which the world was created. (Britannica)
