Description by the Composer
«This piece was written for the Duo-Recital of Kenji Kobayashi (violin) and Toshi Ichiyanagi (composer and pianist) held in Tokyo in January, 1980.
«The title of the composition refers to the memory and influence of the New York Experimental Group headd by John Cage and the effect it has had on both Mr. Kobayashi and Mr. Ichiyanagi. In the violin part the soft sounds symbolize the unreal or imagined while the strong sonorities represent reality. The sounds intersect creating a surface that contains both of these elements but has a special character of its own. The piano part progresses through infinite variations of twenty-two soft sounds in a circular or spiralling motion.»
Maki Ishii, 1981
