Together they embody the proverbial principle “See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”. The three monkeys are Mizaru, covering his eyes, who sees no evil; Kikazaru, covering his ears, who hears no evil; and Iwazaru, covering his mouth, who speaks no evil.

As soon as (Paradise)

for horn and bass trombone „…As soon as I want to make this instant moment Perfect Paradise and real dawn by looking back myself inside.“ - Charles Olson (freely interpreted by Alisa Kobzar) The composition could be understood as a free fantasy based on Charles Olson’s poem “As the Dead Prey Upon Us”. Inspired by Olson’s poetic method, “As Soon as (Paradise)” explores the concept of inner listening, inner hearing and the connection between the poetic lines/verses and the length of the breath.

„S“ is short for Sanbiki no saru. Sanbiki no saru (literally “three monkeys”), sometimes called the three mystic apes, are a pictorial maxim. Together they embody the proverbial principle “See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”. The three monkeys are Mizaru, covering his eyes, who sees no evil; Kikazaru, covering his ears, who hears no evil; and Iwazaru, covering his mouth, who speaks no evil.
For me, this symbol means the desire to achieve inner and outer harmony state. All three voices are considered to be a unified sound-stream with periodical highlighting of the musical sounds, phrases, and motives.
