Sometimes I feel the time and space are one perception concentrated into a single dimension, or transcends the dimension of time and space, especially when I hear the music composed by Toru Takemitsu (武満徹, 1930 - 1996).
Here is "Family Tree (系図)" composed by Toru Takemitsu (Poems written by Shuntaro Tanikawa)
I love this composer... His music brings back to my old memories... I remember having the same impression 20 some years ago when I was a student... I feel his music transcending the time and space every time I think about it... I am no musical expert or anything but his music (not only this particular piece) appeals to me somewhere very deep inside... something that I have had since when I was 5 years old or something... "A String Around Autumn", for example, always reminds me of the time and moment when my grandmother (who died 25 years ago) took me out for a walk to a riverside one Sunday evening... The sight that I had perceived thru the 5-year-old's eyes still remains even if this little boy is now over 40 years old...
This kind of music can be called a "beauty", if beauty is something that touches our heart and makes us amazed over the decades. For instance, it is something that connects the 5-year-old and 20-year-old with the 40-some-year-old human individual, to share the emotions they possess across the time.
