work comments
The form of the piece has sort of a ’rondo’-like structure and divided into three sections.
The sections however is deliberately disordered and characters changes, where the related sections diminishes and augmentes in space of time.
The harmony as well, is also distorted by micro-intervals and feels like looking through broken windows. It starts with a reversed ’big-bang’ but suddenly the wandering begins between high and low ”coloured” instruments.

[…] ”hauntingly explored instrumental blends and colours, enhanced by those reflected
on the gleaming instruments from the blue and red stage lightning.” […]
