A work for multi-track violin, processed alto flute and tape (1968-2009).
The piece incorporates two earlier compositions: "Chimyaku" for alto flute performed in May 1973,
and "Michi" for violin, performed in August 1973. Tape part recorded June-August 2009.
Special thanks to Anna Dolan whose interest in "Michi" helped get this work made.
"In memory of my brother Danny who took his life almost thirty years ago; and to my mother who found some peace of mind and solace observing the fauna and flora of nature; and to my older brother Steve whose own unique path continues to pass through nature".

Harley Gaber completed I Saw My Mother Ascending Mount Fuji, a work for multi-track violin, processed alto flute, and tape, in 2009, but it substantially incorporates music written and recorded much earlier, including a piece for alto flute from 1968 and a violin solo from 1972. Gaber uses two iterations of the violin piece Michi, a spare, abstract, almost Feldman-esque work that incorporates extensive silences to create an atmosphere of starkness and desolation, and Chimyaku, a similarly minimal solo for alto flute.
