- Program Notes
- The word Cumulus (from Latin) means “heap” or “pile,” and is most commonly used in a meteorological context to describe cumulus clouds. It is an apt metaphor for my composition. Clouds, driven by wind, touched by light, fragmented by air currents, are in constant flux. They merge, separate, dissolve, and gather again. In their shifting formations, new images continuously emerge—each seen differently by every observer, shaped by their own imagination. Similarly, the orchestral layers—each moving independently, pulsating, shifting form—at times converge into dense clusters, at other times disperse into fragile threads, gradually and organically transforming the overall soundscape. Cumulus is like a living, kaleidoscopically shifting body of energy, shaped by inner logic and external impulses. This reflects my view of art. I am drawn to in-between states—fragile, constantly evolving, rich with layered meaning. These states exist beyond our usual, concrete sense of “here and now.” Experiencing a work of art, we can briefly open a hidden door through imagination and glimpse what lies beyond. Perhaps even step inside—into a space where reality begins to dissolve, and imagination speaks its own language.
