on a rainy day

on a rainy day

“on a rainy day” was written for shō and electronics. Aside from the performance of the shō, it includes voice and the shō’s sonic materials in the electronics. This work was inspired by one photograph – a photo of a rainy day, with an emphasis of the light and greenery.
