These pieces were composed with the intention of capturing the spirit of a photograph through music. The photograph was taken in a construction site; it describes the layers, textures, depth of its subject, without fully revealing it, almost like an abstract composition, with infinite meaning. A visual and later on an auditory feed were extracted from this: a grid of dots traced into a repetitive digital noise, which became the foundation for composing the pieces. It fades in and out throughout the composition to build up a nimbus of mystery. Infinitely melodic piano chords join the grid, drift with it, at times adhering and at times showing faint yet intelligible variation. Together they form a timely procession that traces back to (the meaning of) the image.
