Into the Fall (October Story)

"Into the Fall" was written in Fall 2018. The piece is based on my own encounters during that period. In this not-too-long piece, there are small portraits, either complete or incomplete, of people I met, street views of places I visited, and reactions and reflections of my personal life. Being both a composer and a writer, I love music as a medium for its abstractness, much like mixing ingredients into a dish, where the resulting stir-fry, while still closely related to the author, is, on the other hand, also able to bring something more intimate to the audience themselves. A music piece, unlike a story where every scene is more or less clear, is made up of murmurs of life, reflecting the deepest parts of everyone’s hearts…
