Slow Motion (Hosokawa)

Slow Motion is a composition for accordion by Toshio Hosokawa written in 2002 for Teodoro Anzellotti, who premiered it in Vienna's Konzerthaus on April 3 that year.[1] Lasting circa 13 minutes, it is a contemplative work inspired in gagaku and its integration of the dancer's bodies with the earth, with the accordion emulating a shō playing a nocturnal dance in the moonlight.[2]

gollark: <@151391317740486657> This is moronically dumb.
gollark: Wait, is this obfuscated bytecode thing just loading *more* XORed code from somewhere?
gollark: Huh, getmetatable, I did worry about that. Perhaps it is some sort of strange interaction between the nil/string metatables features and the potatOS core.
gollark: Oh, a pcall exploit, possibly. We had lots of those.
gollark: Well, this is... interesting.
