Prog. notes: In western geometry, mirror image is a reflected duplication of an object that appears almost identical, but is reversed in the direction perpendicular to the mirror surface. As an optical effect it results from reflection off of substances such as a mirror or water. It is also a concept in geometry and can be used as a conceptualization process for 3-D structures. At above concept, I choose Clarinet and Cello to emerge it and add electroacoustic music to turn them into trinity. Moreover, I added eastern music technique “Embroidery figure” and “Chinese percussion rhythm” to develop and create the composition, as well as put each material to intersect and put together, making it can reflect and communicate each other that similar to the mirror.
