Drunken Ink

I used the flute and the pipa to project the image of "Drunk" and "Ink". The strokes and patterns formed by the ink from Chinese Calligraphy are extremely diverse; On the other hand, a "Drunk" person's mind appears with all kinds of unlogical thoughts and lack of control. The combination of the two creates an even more intricate and confusing image. The melodic materials learned from the lyrical writing from the traditional lyrical writings of the pipa, illustrate a linear gesture; Yet the violent sonorities used in this piece indicate the traditional martical techniques of pipa. I used the abundant textures of pipa with the flute projecting tones or noises, to project each kind of illusion of "Drunken Ink".
