Oscillating Forces is a cinematic sample piece written to portray the feeling of being torn between two countries that are both home. The combination of both modern electric synth sounding instruments with the traditional orchestral sounds represents my two homes, Canada and Taiwan. The shape of the sounds is quite different in the attack, decay, sustain and release combining them gave a feel of a tug of war, pushing and pulling, like what I experience living as an expat overseas. The shifting tempo and time signatures also contribute to the fluctuating feel to the music.
