Ukiyo is a highly visceral duo for vibraphone, marimba and digital audio. It calls for the use of two audio tracks which the performers operate and synchronise with their instruments. Psathas's inspiration for Ukiyo was the Zen monks and haiku poets who spoke of life in terms of a transient "floating world" (ukiyo), or of a dream that vanishes ‚Äì our corporeal existence is one in which happening gives way to happening, illusion follows illusion, and all is a phantasm void of substance.
