«But I do know that I want to seethe, I want the Sun and the sinew of my hand to tremble together.»:
The Idea, that every being in the universe is connected with one another is close to my spirituality. The image of a poet who resonates with the universe really inspired me to compose my piece. I attempted to create an evolution of words and sounds in which parts of the universe interacted to each other.
My piece starts from a point, the first word of the poem, «I» and then it grows in circles. The ensemble responses to every spoken word of the singer.
