Work
Umi Sajin
for flute/alto flute/piccolo and koto/bass koto
About
Umi Sajin was co-composed with Mitsuki Dazai
Inspired by accounts of the Dust Bowl and the Great Garbage Patches in the Pacific Ocean, Umi Sajin expresses the ambivalence of our own survival in a destructive world. The score is mostly notated, with improvisatory parts, drawing from the Sawai koto school and jazz.
