Convergence is a duet written for violoncello and voice, which is inspired by the fact
that the two opposite aspects of every contradiction coexist in one single entity. It is the real interactive
dialogue and communication between the violoncello and the voice; meanwhile, the two converge into one synergetic
integral. Convergence refers to confluence between the pressure and counterforce, pains and joys, human beings and
environments, individuals and collectivity, less and more, smallness and greatness, thoughts and actions, as well as
spirits and representations.
For the voice's text, I use different vowels to express various feelings and moods instead of using the detailed text
that contains the particular meaning. For example, the "u" and "i" hint dark mood, the "ao" and "an" mean brighter, and the "a"
means the brightest and happiest. The voice includes not only the regular singing, but also recitative, murmur, shouts,
and even cries.
