Program note:
Cascading Lotus (2008) explores various complex combinations of individual parameters and physical movements of flute playing technique.  The composition works with various polyphonies of horizontal elements and musical materials to create vertical friction and sound world.
 
The musical character and ornamental nature of the composition are influenced by singing style of Japanese Enka – with concentrated energy, burning passion, and the sense of drama and destiny.
