Bushin Gokyu Ho


For Computer processed Cello sounds.

The aim of the author is to describe, through an original soundscape, a warrior's dream just before a decisive battle. In the dream the warrior faces his alter ego, by observing him with fear and running away from this vision. An atmosphere symbolically suspended between the inconsistent quality of the dream and the well known reality of the war horrors represents the situation. This is achieved by creating the contrast between extremely rarefied sounds and the sudden intervention of powerful transients and rough scratching timbres. The piece's underline texture is built upon a sonorous reference to the four fundamental elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Air) to which the metal of the weapons is added. The author makes an ideal connection to the emotional and onirical framework of the Daimio's Double dream scene from the movie "Kagemusha" by Akira Kurosawa.
