Event horizon

From program notes~

Event Horizon brings many ideas up, but the idea of inevitability is one of them something that you can't control and something that is bound to happen something that just leaves you laying around vulnerable to the vast cosmos

This piece of music also types in with some personal experienceas well with falling in love with a four part structure
bliss , self denial, in love and the singularity.  "once you enter,there's no going back"

* extended technique, there is a lot of overpressuring bow control. This is to create subharmonics, which will sound an octave approximately below the fingered note*

Hi @Fruit hunter !

Quite an interesting work full of extended techniques and giving each section of the chamber orchestra interesting parts - including the Violas! My only gripe as a composer and listener of your work is that in this case it seems like there is no justification or musical reason for any of your gestures. The piece seems to be made up primarily of interesting ostinati and various syncopated gestures. This somehow manages to create some musical interest. But, for my own taste, I prefer the musical justification for a piece's existence to come from the themes/melodies which from my perspective, this piece doesn't have. Still, it does work - and I could definitely imagine it as programmatic music for the approach of a black hole. I don't see the "falling in love" theme as very fitting to this piece though. But an approach to a black hole definitely could work. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for listening. The analogy of crossing an event horizon is within love itself. The unescapable point of no return
