{"product_id":"murakamis-empty-chair-wahlund","title":"Wahlund-Murakami's Empty Chair-P","description":"Murakami's Empty Chair by Ben Wahlund is a percussion solo written to pay homage to the Japanese author Haruki Murakami. The title takes its name from a scene in the book The Wind-up Bird Chronicle in which a nightmarish chase sequence is happening through a mysterious luxury hotel. The main character is an almost offensively \"normal\" guy trying to find his wife, only to learn that she is part of this viscerally disturbing Murakami-world. He is petrified at every turn only to find himself locked in a room with plush carpet, low lighting, and one empty chair. After earlier pages of torture, \u003cbr\u003ehumiliation, and the most confusing of all - fear, the image of an empty chair in a room is simply terrifying. It is shocking how an otherwise simple image had been mutated into an instrument of terror, with no earthly reason why a person should be scared of it. Scored for wooden bowls, stones, and tom toms.
