Crisscross-Break through the Darkness - Ya-Ming Hsu

Crisscross- Break through the Darkness / Ya-Ming Hsu This work is a dialogue between saxophones and electronic music. The composer tries to convey a common experience of facing temptation and a power of breaking through this chaotic world. The overall style is improvisational. The beginning section is a saxophone solo and expresses the conflict and distortion from the heart. The electronic music represents temptation from the world. Sometimes it interacts with sax in an ultimate and concordance balance, but sometimes in a conflict and isolated world. The place of crisscross is where a survival heart is. Ya-Ming Hsu is one of the most representative composers to come from Taiwan in recent years. His music and compositions have been widely studied and performed around the world, such as Paris, New York, Germany, Vienna, Hong Kong, Singapore and China. . He is also the core member of ISCM, Asian Composer's League and the board member of Taiwan Association of Arts and Humanity, Taiwan Classical Music Society.
