about

The title may imply a traditional story-telling music, but I thought of this title as a symbol of the basic idea of the piece, which is to explore the four elements and their implementation in concepts of the zodiac, specifically the personalities of cusp signs. The mountain is where earth and sky meet. Eagle flies high near the sun, the dives to catch fish in the water. Eagle can also fly to the mountain. This story is eternal, without an end. Yet we have stories about how it all began. And this is how my music begins.
