Written and Recorded in 1990
This is the 3rd Movement of my conceptual composition titled Impressions of a Day.
This composition is consistently written under a principle that each Movement basically accommodates three different ingredients, and the same principle is applied to this 3rd Movement as well.
The 3rd Movement is meant to depict the protagonist's daytime activities in a busy city. In the first half of this tune, he is supposed to take a train journey required from his personal or business duty. Tension and nervousness increase within his mind being confined in a train carriage and stopping at each station also irritates him. Such intimidated feeling of confinement develops into the recurrence of his dark emotion at around 1:50, where the lead guitar begins to play the theme of this second. The climax of this terrible anxiety comes at around 2:54, where the train plunge into the darkness of a tunnel. The composer is not sure what happened to the protagonist in this third ingredient after the rhythm machine leaves the ensemble in a state of chaos. He might have lost his control or might he has found a way out from the darkness? Who knows? That's where the 3rd Movement ends.
