An electroacoustic audio piece that aims to challenge listeners to open themselves up to the development of a multi-layered and abstract soundscape, composed of  - partially digitally processed - fragments of acoustic and electronic pianos, field recordings, sounds from a Theis modular synthesiser and Korg MS-20, as well as digital synthesizers and tape collages.

HC – composition, all instruments, sounds from the artist´s archieve of tapes, field recordings and studio works.

No samples from other artists were used.
