This song envisions
the brilliant glow of the sky just before darkness descends in a
land not unlike that of Africa. The piece ends in the same manner
as it begins, with the faint percussive ostinato of the shime daiko.
A Buddhist bowl (kin), miya daiko, okedo daiko and vocal chants
are gradually introduced and developed over the shime daiko contributing
to the tribal nature of the piece.
Edge of Dusk
was featured in the National Film Board of Canada short film Showa
Shinzan by Reiko Loader.
