Introduction

The piece thematizes vibrato, tremolo, trill, small glissando, intonation shift, shaded area and all nuances between noise and sound as an aesthetic basic material. Similar to the Aposiopesis, a tenor emerges as the tonal centre and various qualities of distance from it are set as independent formative aspects.
The repression of the different, its elimination and assimilation - which became so clear at the time of the composition in Hoyerswerda - as a component of one's own culture, makes it questionable to me. The piece searches for the still possible references to its own to sift through culture.
