Between the clouds
The piece is for string quartet, and its inspiration came from daily stargazing. The main materials are designed from the natural night scenery, such as stars, clouds, and moon. Using harmonic and vibrato changes to describe the clouds moving and somehow the starlights go through the clouds. The glissando is the wind which moves the clouds and makes it to any kinds of shape and turn it into a different mood. The double repetitive short notes are the subtle twinkling.
