1. LOW - HIGH

"While being in the midst of transition, it is almost impossible to recognize that transition itself"

First of all, please listen to the entire piece. It's 35 minutes of unremarkable sound that goes on and on. You will probably find some repose there, or perhaps you will subconsciously listen to this sound as you do your housework or desk job. But many of you probably didn't notice a certain change in the sound that took place during those 35 minutes.

After listening to the beginning for a bit, I want you to skip ahead and listen to the last five minutes or so. You will realize for the first time that the sound you have just listened to has actually changed over time without you knowing it.

What I wanted to emphasize here is that "Only by setting a certain starting point and an ending point can we clearly recognize the transition of time itself". Although concepts of time and seasons such as "Morning" and "Winter" exist, they are merely concepts that humans have assigned to themselves for the convenience of their lives, and they are endpoints from the perspective of counter-conceptual starting point such as "Night" and "Autumn". For example, when we look at images taken 30 years ago, we can clearly recognize that time has definitely passed. It is precisely because there is a starting point of "30 years ago" and an ending point of "Today" that we can recognize the passage of time itself. And there should not be many opportunities to recognize this clearly.

In these 35 minutes, you will realize once again "We are actually living under various conditions that are constantly and gradually changing". At the same time, I would like to present the importance of questioning various things that are now taken for granted.
