Rondo Duo -fortissimo At Dawn- Punyupuri Ff -ti... (2025-2027)

Listening to this imagined score is to ride a sequence of contrasts. The opening fortissimo is immediate, body-forward, a sound like a hand slapping a tabletop or the first hot coffee poured into bone-cool hands. It forces the world to orient. Then the PunyuPuri motif returns like a secret handshake: light feet, muted bells, the tiny mechanical joy of things that fit together. Between them, quieter episodes unfold — a sotto voce exchange where one instrument outlines memory (low, wooden, slow) and the other answers with bright, precise flourishes that sound like sunlight on a key. The rondo’s shape guarantees return: each time the PunyuPuri returns, it is a little altered, carrying new harmonic clothes, wrenched through new time signatures, strewn with brief improvisations that feel improvised but are clearly part of a practiced intimacy.
