The piece was inspired by a poem called THE GUESTHOUSE is written by Rūmī, in which I am interested in exploring tensions, form(s), and its variations per se between stability and instability; determinacy and indeterminacy. One could embrace contingency while capturing a moment ‘before’ conceiving of a musical sentence or line(s) in relation to elementary components, yet open, unbounded, and contingent through fragment(s). For Proust, a fragment is a morsel of time in its pure state; it hovers between a present that is immediate and a past that once had been present.
