In the Waking River is a multimedia work for piano and computer, but it can also be performed as a musical work for piano and electronic sounds, or as a piano solo work. The work's title is based on the poem Green Night by Japanese poet Taku Nagashima, and begins with the following lines:

  In the waking river

  Vomiting corrosive landscapes

  On scorched earth burning sweat

  The flower of duty, utterly hated

  Embracing the covenant of night

  When hanging the portrait of agony

  The dream that strikes the horizontal coast carries inverted voices

  In the heavy womb of the primeval forest

  The scent of death sinking while trembling (...)

 The composer attempted to express the youthful impatience depicted in the poem and the sensibility of words freely traversing the five senses through nervous piano movements and sounds containing fissures into another realm.
