Notes: 
I've had these windup toys for years. Purchased them, initially, for their bright colors and size to run tests on a program I'd built for a completely unrelated project. Though immediately their potential began whispering. 
The related soundscape between these toys and the piccolo is obviously a central idea to this piece, the clicking and the pitched noise, but there is also something very tangible about the relationship of the winding down/winding up function in the toys to that of breathing/the lungs of a flutist that became the underpinnings of this piece.

The first professors of The Department were Igor Piaskovski, Igor Stetsyuk, Alla Zagaykevych, Sviatoslav Luniov, who created their own courses: "Computer analysis of music texts", "Electronic sound synthesis", "Composition, synthesis and audio processing with a computer ","History of electroacoustic music", "Music technologies".
In the circle of contemporary composers initiated regular international projects with concerts and workshops "Electroacoustics" (since 2003) and "EM - VISIA (since 2005) (director Alla Zagaykevych), where the music composed by students and graduates of Academy is regularly performed.
