A song written in a language that I created.

This is my first time writing a song using SynthesizerV and Eleanor Forte! Hope you enjoy listening to it.

Suyäzome means "the same mountain", which is said when you bid farewell to someone, promising that you'll meet again at the same place.

Lyrics and translation:

Swan ssa, swan la,
Ezattomen endae lyman-indo kâla,
Eo he-näya anlan lettaygon some,
Inho-teza
(Someday and somewhere
Some touching scene in life would remind me
If I went to that mountain of sunrises,
You would be there)

Ssoe yule,
Milivayìn kakkèle mímilau-so fómen,
To-änottägoe swen ellelyvon muné
Awavin i-havinde
(Among hundreds and thousands
Of labyrinthian streets, I have settled
Being blessed with some hope that is just enough
From outside my window that opens low)

Talän-ke Nynnulagon leosýya,
Pemu-ke Tanolegon liynénda,
Lyyome syyo-twé nondo-tyyuzae
(Immersed in the solitude of the Nynnula sea
Blinded by the radiance of the desert sun
In my dreams I can grasp at nothing but emptiness)

Kweda-vynen twäda
Kkäla-vynen talimoe
Swéna ko-sodyve:
(Calls with no response
Journeys with no destination
Your voice echoes in me--)

Säl’-än-sala nove
Ahi säl’-än-seo suyäzome
Ye-nylasemmuve nilikän fesé
Mi onzo-ttylafilyyu
I-yolan säyadeza’n ssae
(No need to ask where to go
And no need to say Suyäzome
Just go and follow the wind
That soared above us with ardor and curiosity,
In those days when we’d meet and set off together)

Piläyae,
Lebogon sweséy lyyomvän ke-toela
Eo to-ättäda-he, tossollavin ttéla
Indo-tine
(As time flows,
Noises in the morning wake me up from my dreams
If I make myself escape from here, my soggy breaths
Will become clear again)

Lenalowegon
Fweyttenin yuttóa ke-mwazae-he sossamún
Lowäyan lettayízan pyná he-liynzaézan
Täa-holazae
(Early summer’s
Silver-white crescent moon carries away my regrets
I’ll shine my glimmering light against the rising sun
Without looking back)

So-konno yí?
So-tohattan yí?
Obe-sala-yon,
Indo-have tatí
(Is this enough?
Am I complete?
I turn aside to ask you,
But I only see myself)

Sânda soffe ne yí?
Monoténda sege-lysse he-osso
Swe fe-ttanamu pegagon yná
Fe-kattanu tanodakkegon ylá
(What is my reason?
Thus the world expects me to speak out
But I’ll learn the silence of the oceans
And I’ll conquer towards the eyes of sandstorms)

Ttefagon swayave inho-ttyyuzae
Kweda-sälen twäda
Kkäla-sälen talimoe
Swéna ko-sodyve:
(So I reach out towards the blueness of the sky
Calls that don’t need a response
Journeys that don’t need a destination
Your voice echoes in me--)

Säl’-än-sala nove
Ahi säl’-än-seo suyäzome
Ye-nylasemmuve nilikän fesé
Mi nodo-ttylafilyyu
Sso-toun fonädan lyyomendae
(So no need to ask where to go
And no need to say Suyäzome
Just go and follow the wind
That’ll fly in a dream of a summer far, far away)

Moe fe-sulanäyave
I-käla ttúdoweben kakké
(And in it I’ll go down
On my own chosen path)

This song is created using a lite version of Synthesizer V and Eleanor Forte Lite.

I used Sibelius sounds for all instruments.

Before Awakening

Onzo-selàn pola
Lazoyìn känàle
Ondo-ttela, to-luga fàn ssázan
Finalittoffàn fwässoga-ttuvyle
Lon-yana he-näya
Lavän ymodoùn pwetta-sanve
Fwelasyívan, swan ssàle
Nekke-hattine

It was our home
In a soundless autumn
We dwelled, and chanted to that time
Under and in a blanket of the flying leaves' light
Allow me to leave from here
To the east of that infinitely long bridge
The frigidness of that golden shadow, some day
Will be but the coolness
Of a coming breeze

Performed in December, 2017. This was a final project performance for MUSI 10300 at UChicago. Piano played by Professor Anthony Cheung, the super awesome instructor of the course, and viola played byJack Hughes, the TA. Many thanks for them performing all of our projects from sight reading!

A Home in Autumn (Live Performance)

This arrangement was created using Sibelius in September, 2017, when I didn't find out about Soundcloud

心做し (Kokoronashi) Orchestral Arrangement

Get wet with lighthearted beats and water sounds! :p

Water Story

A song written in a language that I created.

Basically a heavily dramaticized process of a traveller in an imaginary world getting over a crush.
