This piece alludes to the mysterious quality of light in a forest which is dappled, flickering and mesmerising. The Japanese word “Komorebi” describes this phenomenon precisely but there is no satisfactory English equivalent. I find that the fact that it is undefinable to me, enhances its transcendental mystery. It is like getting glimpses rather than the whole picture, reality being veiled from human eyes and the light, playing tricks on the viewer. Thus, the piece frantically scurries and flickers between different fragmented ideas in a kaleidoscopic fashion, whilst traveling through different harmonic series and making use of natural tunings, with a blurry, misty timbre so that the material is never fully perceived.
