I had so much fun writing this short musical moment, I used a very simple preparation on the piano, only to stop certain strings and let the violin “sing” on them. I’m kind of obsessed with the concept of “on|off“, the duality behind every vital process, so I decided to write some music to exorcise the mystery and somehow taking joke of it. Like two characters the instruments seem to have an argument but at the end….you will tell me..
