Atempause (2021) 

Miniature for solo flute

2 min

“Atempause is akin to a ‘moment’ dwelling within a singular harmonic field, as if we’ve intentionally taken a deep breath (from abrupt initiation to gradual fade).

The flute was selected for this piece due to its brevity, as I aimed to emulate a purposefully extended breathing process. Among the woodwind family, the flute is the instrument that best embodies the essence of breath. I utilized various playing techniques to modulate the breath and construct the entire composition.”
