"Hibernation Season" for Cello Solo(2010)

Hibernation Season for Cello Solo(2010)

"But who can say what's best? That's why you need to grab whatever chance you have of

happiness where you find it, and not worry about other people too much. My experience tells me that we get no more than two or three such chances in a life time, and if we let them go, we regret it for the rest of our lives."

(Murakami Haruki, "Norwegian Wood")

"The world didn't stop. I could feel it in my skin, even sitting alone in my apartment. Though little did it compel me to show interest. It was like a silent breath of air, breezing past me."
(Murakami Haruki, "Dance, Dance, Dance")

These quotes were the starting point of my work. The year of 2009 was very difficult times for me and when it finished I was totally exhausted. It felt like I was in a long nightmare or mentally paralyzed. In Hibernation Season for Cello Solo(2010), I tried to illustrate the feeling of depressed period of life by using musical ideas and about regrets as well.
