- <p>Loading is the second movement of Project Storing on the CLOUD.</p><p>The movement is written for solo viola and dance. (Live Electronics optional)</p><p></p><p>This piece was premiered on Nov.4th, 2023 by Violist Mengshen Li and Dancer Avery Janenda at Moody Center associated with the Moody Exhibition Laure Prouvost: Above Front Tears Nest</p><p>in South on view through December 14, 2023.</p><p></p><p>Program note:</p><p>When I first saw this exhibit, I was attracted by this huge cloud. This reminds me of what we call our private storage devices Clouds, just like every cloud in the sky. We have stored our</p><p>emotions and memories on it. The fragments above are like transmitted data, which is transported vertically to the cloud, and the audience sitting on the cloud is integrated with it</p><p>while receiving the visual and auditory feelings spatially. The constant open D string creates a state of pretending to whitewash peace, but we, actually affected by the modernization</p><p>process of industrialization and digitalization, collided with it on another parallel line of anxiety.</p><p></p><p>At the same time, I invite you to forego set expectations and let the mind levitate in a space of boundless freedom.</p><p></p><p>Video</p><p>Excerpt: 3’20’’-3’40’’</p>
