[Composer comment]

When I look at the sun at dusk, I sometimes get the illusion that the speed of sunset is changing. Although the speed does not actually change, there is fluidity in the speed depending on the perception of the viewer. And there, the drama of the condensation of the sun's enormous energy and the distortion of time unfolds.

In this work, six parts with different metrical sense repeat and transform passages at a strict tempo, causing distortion of the metrical sense and familiarity of auditory information, resulting in a blurring of speed ( In this case, it is the fluidity of velocity). This cannot simply be considered minimal music; the repetition and transformation of passages is used as a means of expressing a sense of speed, distortion of the time axis, and changes in the color of light. Through this work, I would like you to feel the ambiguous transition of time at twilight.
