简介
Artwork to those who did not choose freedom This piece begins with the warm singing of a choir, a New Age music that portrays a somewhat melancholic yet aesthetic world. As indicated by the title, "Strings," the composition of this piece involves strings and thread instruments. Noteworthy in WasaVi's work is his use of sound to create scenery. In the opening section, where the cello takes the lead; the sound of strings warmly wraps around the listener. This section was created to evoke the image of being protected in the womb, in other words, by the maternal figure. In the following division, the sound of pizzicato portrays the innocence and curiosity of childhood. As the song goes on, it intensifies like the raging sea, immersing the listener in an illusion of being swallowed by rough waves. As stated at the beginning, this work is written with "freedom" as its theme. Does freedom mean happiness? Do all people need to chase what they want to be? The lyrics portray the anguish hidden within the hopeful word "freedom" in a raw and honest manner; which is a must to hear. As a concluding note to the introduction of the song; quoted the artist WasaVi himself: In this world, there are too few words that acknowledge those who have not chosen freedom. There are too few words that allow us to give up on what we want to do. We are already tired of struggling, unable to walk; yet we are still expected to keep fighting. We want to be released from freedom. We want to find relief. We want to forget about the person we want to become.
