for variable ensemble
The instrumentation is free, the ensemble may consist of strings and wind instruments, percussion, piano, guitar, accordions and singers.
The score presents musical material to which the performers can make their own contribution.
It is an open form, the linear concept of time fades in this work, making time dissolve into space, space as musical space (score) and space as location, set-up of the instruments.
Five musical materials (melody, ostinato, arabesques, chords and pulsations) can be performed freely, even one above the other. All five of the materials should however be used.
The spatial set-up is also variable, it can be arranged closely together or spread out in the concert hall.
The performers can determine the duration themselves, between 30" and 15'.
