The Twist

This piece has been revised for two times. You would hear the past me, and the present me. First Twist / Twister When I applied for the HKAPA, I wrote this piece without guidance. I composed with the idea of my own architectural design. My graduation project, 4 towers twisting into 1 tower, as if the sounds of 4 instruments morphing into 1 sound. Second Twist / Turn Seems like the piece wasn’t about architecture after all. I should not be twisting my past and present together. I twisted my piece with more refined techniques under the guidance of my teacher. And simply say it’s the twist of a towel or marshmallows. And I applied for competitions. Third Twist / Reversal I messed up the basic metre. One more time, one more time. Overlapping sounds mixing around, mixing around. One more time? Stop it’s fine. Aren’t you tired of doing this? This is an interesting piece. Twisting around for two years, transforming from a prelude to a postlude. How much have it changed? Thank you all for being with me for these two years. Please, let me twist again. I’ll be fine this time, right…?
