Have you ever had the experience as a child, when you were absent from elementary school due to being in bed with a cold, that time seemed to move slower than usual, or that the ticking of a clock, the sounds of daily life or noise in home seemed to be louder than usual? Remembering this experience from my childhood, I decided on a musical time progression and the materials to be used.
To explain in detail, I composed the whole piece in such a way that it would have the musical time progression that would be making little progress. And there are mostly noises made by extended techniques. I also used the sounds of home appliances such as vacuum cleaner, etc., as materials, based on "daily life sounds," is one of the starting points of the concept of the piece mentioned above.
