This work marks the 3rd part of an intended series of works bound by a common subject of time, characterized with a quartet of instruments. This work looks back to the previous two works and meditates on the time for future.
Instruments that commonly associated with “Jiang Nan Si Zhu” for Chinese instruments are used in the original version but now transcribed to western instruments of flute, violin, viola and piano. What unfolds between them are timbre of sounds with a disquiet nature and micotonal rumbling, using aleatorical markings that are guided by chronometric time. What starts out as distinctive registral timbre for 3 instruments, with Piano coming in at a latter time, the disconnected registral slowly meanders closely in various combinations of the 4 instruments. The strict metrical passage that appears in latter half of the work conjures up a dense texture only to be reverting back to fairly distinctive registral timbre, ending the work on remnants of sounds.
