''When I encountered this unique instrumental structure of the Ictus Ensemble, the first thing that came to my mind was the juxtaposition of various scenes in an imaginary musical theatre. In particular, the main idea of this work is about various episodes of escape from the fixed low register, fixed harmonic fields, and repetitive figures.
