She is a force of nature вЂ“ and her powerful presence and musical gift truly inspired me. Writing this piece was such a beautiful experience, and I think itвЂ™s because I had Evelyn Glennie as the soloist in mind. With that in mind, Ad InfinitumВ is a figurative way of contemplating a concept that can be so frightening for so much of humanity: The knowledge that everything eventually ceases to exist. The main message I hoped to convey is the journey of life itself, rather than its destination. I am simply a curious person with questions, beliefs and disbeliefs. This work does not reflect any of my creeds or faith. They contains some of the most dramatic and vibrant moments, when the soloist enters and leaves the stage. Birth and death are made of the same substance in this piece. It is the shortest of all movements, and stops almost abruptly, distinctly marking the end of this chapter and the beginning of the final phase:В Old age, death of physical body and rebirth through the release of the soul, back to its origin. Splashes of colors are used to craft an exotic soundscape fueled by a sense of constant motion over a steady, though odd rhythmic pattern suggesting the unpredictability of all things. PART III : adulthood | finale: death & rebirthДЄdulthood is about exploration, experiences, ephemerality. The childhood phase is characterized by the idea of growth and development through learning and play.

Infancy illustrates the nurturing, delicate and protective relationship between mother and child, delving into its symbiotic nature by journeying into the womanвЂ™s subconscious mind as she wonders about the future of her newborn. The conductor and the orchestra, the surroundings and events that happens throughout the life of this character.

The piece is filled with symbolisms, such as the calling of a gong to summon the descent of anima into material form while water and ocean sounds represent the beginning of all life as we know. It is followed by multiple phases of the life of a soul having a human experience on earth. The story begins in the womb, before a stormy, explosive birth. Ad InfinitumВ deals with the concept of life, death and rebirth on a spiritual and material level.
