Disenchantment

This piece was composed in 2022 for Mivos Quartet. Through the combination and conflict of different timbres, it expresses the sense of tearing and unknown confusion caused by the collision between the rational world and mysticism. By citing the theme of Tchaikovsky's Violin Sonata in D major, the most representative rhythm pattern in Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring", the music fragment of popular music culture after the second industrial revolution, the intention is To create an illusion similar to time travel. Just as the world is in the process of disenchantment, the rapidly changing process makes us feel as if we have fallen into the abyss. Do we still need the power of faith? Or a spiritual sustenance or memory?
In ancient society, people are "embedded" in the world, is connected with the world. In modern society, people are separated from that big "matrix" and live alone and without support in this world. The natural world was objectified, no longer divine and spiritual, but a physical world that could be explained by cold laws of cause and effect. So what are the consequences of this for the human spirit?
