Program notes:
In March 2023, I walked the streets of Shiogama for the first time in several years and visited Shiogama Shrine for the first time in decades. As I walked step by step up the stone steps, I thought about the sea. The sea, which brings blessings to people and sometimes engulfs us in a whirlpool of samsara with its mighty power. This image became the word “Kankai,” and I wished to put my reverence for the sea into music.
Each of the sound patterns is simple when played alone, but when they overlap with each other, they create a unique sound. This is partly due to the influence of Indonesian gamelan music. The piece can be played by three players, but the same part can also be played by several instruments. In the concluding part of the piece, the players united to draw a “circle” and attempted to express the flow of all things through sound and body.
(Mizuki Aita)
