The composer writes: The piece is in three movements: the first movement present three different types of music juxtaposed meeting in the end in a chaotic brutal sound. The second movement is the longest consisting of an expressive opening and a gradual build-up of an exstatic motoric motion until a climax; the opening then comes back and the music dies away. The third movement is a very short pianissimo echo. The primary focus of the piece is the element of sound. Polyphony is absent and the instruments are always 'packed together' playing in a very narrow register merging into a dense monophonic or occasionally heterophonic sound. The harmony is based on dronesand the tonality is G# modulating only once (in the climax of the second movement) and all the motivic material is derived from a kind of G#-Phrygian scale. All in all this gives associations to the sound-world of oriental ethnic music.
