A Mystic Journey (midi)

The piece is inspired by the photographs of contemporary photographer Xaris Demirzian. The 1st movement "Everyday" depicts the constant motion of everyday life which is characterized by repetitiveness and anxiety. The 2nd movement "Birds and Sky" describes a pleasant break from all the noise, like someone who manages to escape from the city crowdness and chaos and contemplates in nature. In the 3rd movement, the pleasant serenity is lost. The anxiety returns, but this time in a terrifying and mysterious frame, like a quest for the darkest places in our soul. Finally, the 4th movement "The distant light" is a gradual disengagement of the darkness, a weak attempt to reach the light from afar.
