foggiphonie by Keitaro Takahashi published on 2020-01-13T15:22:05Z Performed by Ensemble Phoenix Basel on 2nd December 2018. Composed by Keitaro Takahashi I am fascinated by the gradation of a sound phenomenon transposing from a monophonic instrumental tone - a polyphonic chord and then again, to a monophonic timbre. This music starts with a single tone and gradually accumulates different tones to form a polyphonic sound until it becomes a timbral association. A chunk of tones represents sort of a tone cluster or acoustics as we are not able to distinguish individual note anymore but listen to the whole as a single timbre. The borders of these metamorphoses are ambiguous as fog as if we do not see clear boundaries of rain, drizzle, fog, and mist, and therefore, I titled this piece "foggiphonie". Genre Classical
