Story:
​
“Many insects’ life span is very short. They come and go silently, experiencing the body movement becoming slower and slower. In the end they may find an invisible spot, a piece of branch, a gap between the rocks, or a hole, and leave the world naturally and quietly. This piece of music is trying to express the indescribable “calmness” of mayflies’ lives. They don’t have to worry about finding the meaning of life, and they don’t have to cheat themselves or others, but just accept the nature and life itself, calmly, peacefully, and somehow a bit pitiful.”
