“Frozen Music” for piano solo was composed, drawing inspiration from the architectural design ratios of the East Pagoda of Yakushiji Temple. Based on the pagoda's height of 122 shaku (34 meters) and its triple roofs with mokoshi (skirt roofs), the tempo of the piece accelerates to 56, 84, and 112. While being associated with the 34-meter height, the 10-meter sorin (finial), and the Fibonacci sequence (Pascal's triangle) from 1 to 34, sound groups that divide the entire piano range into three, as well as rhythmic and metric structures, are manipulated. This work won first prize at the Audible Cities Composition Competition (San Francisco).
