Sen VI

Sen VI

Sen VI is a percussion solo composed by Toshio Hosokawa (1955) in 1993. Hosokawa is one of my most admired Japanese contemporary music composers. ‘Sen’ in Japanese means ‘line’. As its title, this piece is composed of many aspects of “line” materials and motives. The line of strict time frame; the line of silent energy; the line of human arms; the line of the sounds of scratching/ rubbing/ voice; the line of interval distance.
