Product details
As someone who finds themselves frequently troubled by the intrusive and sometimes relentless buzz of anxiety, I'm often yearning for the calm and clarity that comes from being in nature. One of my favourite places is amongst trees, gazing skyward and listening to the gentle symphony of breeze and birdsong. There's stillness, tranquility, but also a feeling that everything is vibrating with life - branches swaying, leaves rustling, insects trilling. I look and listen long enough, and I lose track of my worries as they're replaced by a feeling of profound connection to the scintillating eternity that surrounds me. I particularly love it when the sun sits at just the right angle so that its light mingles and refracts amongst the leaves of the trees, creating a glittering array of greens mixed with gold.
The Japanese have a word describing this filtering of sunlight through the leaves and branches of trees: Komorebi. And so, this piece could be described as a musical impression of the beauty and fragility of this phenomenon, as well as the feelings of calm, curiosity, and wonder that it conjures. The world can be such a busy, challenging, and complicated place; the simplicity and poignancy of 'Komorebi' can be a welcome antidote. Just like music.
