Comment:
We, moderns, lose ourselves in our busy modern life.
We wish to recover our native selves.
Who take this wish in advance of us are persons who are called "psychosis",
I think, because they are free from common ideas and common senses and
carry their self-realization out through the freedom. That is, because
they are not infected with social derangement and keep their individuality,
they return to human nativeness. In this way, the paradox, that mental
derangement goes to normalcy, holds good. Behavior as their own rhythm
may give us primitive human pleasant sensation.
The whole work is monophonic to give expression to simplicity.
It is performed on a synthesizer, controlled by a computer through
MIDI. Each pitch of each tone is controlled on a cent (1/100 semitone).
It is apparently complicated, but according to essence of human, the uncertainty
of pitch is natural, because a man can never sing a tone on same pitch
again.
