ZERO QUINTET

Kenta Masuda

 

This music was composed with the acoustic idea which takes advantage of the nature of brass instruments. In this composition, the ‘uncertainty element’ is movement of the musical line. Music advances by the acoustic motive. Rapid movements of the notes have almost unreasonable violence. Acoustic explosion as a whole becomes gasping of the beast. Physical senses of the human act like screams, laughs, roars, and shrieks are transmitted through the sounds of the instruments.

 

Five players make up the ensemble. The music has a three-part format. The first part is outbreaks of energy from the five players. The middle section is stationary and movable on the flotation of tone; this music is like a dreamer. The final part is the confusion and the synchronization of the power of the five players.

 

Synchronization is a primitive human phenomena. This music will be gradually closed by the primitive cause. The simplicity of three-part format helps evoke an entertainment characteristic to the audience. Entertainment which is a potential element of the human has both pleasure and sadness. This composition is a concept of pleasure and sadness which directly connects with our animal-instinct. Music locates in the animalistic attitude, in other words, point of zero.
