about

I used a 5-note Japanese scale. With it, I created  a loop running at two different speeds (125 and 127 BPM). This, of course, is inspired by the work of Steve Reich. Over this sound background I added several licks using the same scale, these licks were played free, not following any of the two tempos of the background and were processed in several ways by a Yamaha FX900. Finally I found a Japanese voice in the public domain and I added it to the piece. Sometimes the voice is more clear, sometimes it gets lost in the background and between the licks, but I was not interested in using this as a “voice”. Rather than that I wanted to use it as part of the sonic texture. (In fact, I do not know what the voice is saying. I think it is poetry, but nothing more than that. The title of the piece “Kanashimi” means “Sadness” in Japanese. The photograph is a public domain image by S. Ogawa.
