> handwritten 180/g2 * DIN A4, Hvar Island, Croatia, August 2024
Direction sound desired such as Korean: String: Gayageum (가야금) / Geomungo (거문고), Wind: Daegum (대금) / Sogeum (소금) / Saenghwang (생황), Percussion: Janggu (장구) or Buk (북)
Japanese: String: Koto (箏)/ Shamisen (三味線), Ichigenkin (一絃琴), Wind: Shakuhachi (尺八), Sho (笙)/ Shinobue (篠笛), Percussion: Taiko (太鼓) or Odaiko (大太鼓)

Any other set of traditional or handmade instruments from around the globe or a mixture of these kinds are of a desire too.
(action-short): The score’s visual flow is guided not by harmony but by elements like rhythm, articulation, and its lively texture, which are shaped spontaneously by the performers' hands and minds through their moment-to-moment decisions. While some parts of the score are fixed, its primary intention is to enrich pure experimentation, offering a range of possible combinations and interactions among the performers. It invites a ritualistic and celebratory context, also supporting spiritual practice. This enables both listeners and performers to engage in unfamiliar forms of self-reflection and attention. The work suggests a way of being that is neither goal-oriented nor grand, but instead rooted in patience, and clarity with interest in how things actually are - simple, rich, and beautiful.
