A Sudden Gust of Wind - Musical Interpretation

Originally, A Sudden Gust of Wind is a Japanese woodblock print by Hokusai (circa 1830), showing travelers caught by a sudden gust of wind. Everything appears frozen in a moment of imbalance. This moment is not merely a visual effect; it evokes the unpredictability of nature, human fragility in the face of invisible forces, and the fleetingness of the moments that make up a life. More than one hundred and fifty years later, Jeff Wall revisited this scene as a staged photograph. He meticulously reconstructed the real setting, the characters, and the light, capturing that same suspended instant. It is no longer just a stylized image, it is a fragment of life frozen in time. This music exists in that space between the frozen moment and the flow of time. It does not aim to illustrate the wind, but to make the listener feel what it represents emotionally: the passage of time, transformation.
