Indigo Skye
for string quartet and electronics
Indigo is a series which comprises of several chapters with each, featuring a different instrumental setting. The word indigo comes from the Latin word indicum, which is a deep shade of blue. Amongst the many version of this shade, indigo dye has always been a defining visual within my life. From the coast of Phocaea to the fabric textures around Kansai, my memories have always been surrounded with this shade. That is why I grew up with a deep appreciation for this dye and whenever I encounter with it, it evokes serenity and has this calming effect that reminds me of home.
As a series, Indigo aims at a sound world that lives in between past and present, finds its balance within the clash of various aesthetics, just like the indigo dye that finds itself in between shades.
Indigo Skye is an homage to Ryuichi Sakamoto, one of the most influential figures throughout my composition career. He made me aspire to become a composer that connects different worlds while being unapologetic in their artistic vision, no matter how simple or complex the result end up being. With his memory and works, he constantly reminds me that music is deeply connected with our emotions. The more we believe in the ar t we create, the more sincere the results will be, which I keep on discovering to be the most important aspect of what we do.
