The middle part really sounds like war, a background of percussive and overwhelming firepower, then something machine-like, like circuits soldering, cogs and motors and rotors and what moving parts have you shifting and moving into place... all the while that clarinet plays, a somewhat carefree and soothing tune amidst said turmoil; I assume transitioning; fighting; figuratively figuring things out...
The piece is an interesting blend both of emotions and genres, melodical and: towards the end, so lossless and freeing... if you tune into the background and feeling this really is a special piece...
I was expecting some bleaker segments of sound considering the backstory, suicidal thoughts and all, but maybe the clarinet just cannot convey such a darkness... it does sound like an empowering melody. I like the fight it signifies, the overcoming of odds, the marching on no matter what. And by the end: the great escape, the truth, the setting things in motion and moving through, eggshells neath the blue..
Tis a visual and vibrant piece. Bright and dreamy too. It feels like something I could've heard in a movie like Laputa - Castle in the Sky. That wondrous; adventurous Studio Ghibli kind of spirit...
Beautiful tune; all the more powerful with the personal story to go along with it!
