Equilibrium

"It’s the story of a trip I made to China many years ago. What I saw there was the great contrast present in Chinese culture: modernity and the past, chaos and calm, noise and silence, Yin and Yang. White embraces black and contains it at the same time, all included in a circle that creates infinite motion, in Equilibrium with the universe. 

"I mixed voices, electronic music and violin, slightly modified, to create that contrast: in the first part we find the chaos that then resolves in calm, but it is not infinite because everything starts again. In fact, the piece can be listened to in a loop because it ends just as it began."
