_________________________________________________________________

The piece aims to describe a diverse content within different sonic episodes. The musical roles are alternating between the performers in the framework of blurred and intense environments. The development and the combination of these different sonic environments result in continuous flux and energy, by creating multi layered textures. As heterogeneity and homogeneity are opposite words, it is logical that one complements the other by reflecting one another.
