I believe that when something that is supposed to be there is missing, we become more acutely aware of its absence. This work takes that sense of loss and complementarity and applies it to music. By intentionally not making elements that constitute music -such as melody, rhythm, and harmony -explicit, the aim is to encourage the listener to focus on the sounds that cannot be heard.

本来そこにあるはずのものがないことで、より強く「ないもの」を意識することがあると思います。 そうした喪失と補完の感覚を音楽に転用したのが本作品です。 メロディやリズム、ハーモニーなど、音楽を構成する要素を明示しないことで、聴こえない音に耳を澄すよう促す狙いがあります。
