Work introduction
Birds and trains is suggesting a metaphor of transforming denser energies into subtler ones, the movement of a train – representing the Earth, and the flight of a bird - pointing towards the Heaven. The unity of the work would like to be attained by the dynamic balance between the polarities clearly defined by the beginning and the end of the piece: Birds and trains is pointing to a slow process of transforming one polarity into it’s complementary force.
