about

This composition conveys the different emotional states that I have experienced during a very happy but difficult period of my life, trying to fulfill working and mothering commitments. My days have been full of contradicting feelings of joy and frustration, of exuberance and tension. These feelings are reflected in the different sonic elements generated from the single string of the đàn bầu [Vietnamese monochord].

All the sounds and effects were created on the experimental electric đàn bầu [Vietnamese monochord], designed and built by Mr. Phan Chí Thanh, an experimental instrumental designer in Vietnam.
