The piece is divided into 8 sections, which each time extends followed by a number sequence: 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, and 2. In this case, the last section becomes twice longer than the previous one, representing the effect of longing, which means Pratiksha in Indian language. The harmony is based on the chromatic transposition down of the chord of three pitches until it supplement the first chord (upper tetrachord) to the full Indian raga scale.
Also, I was inspired by gamaka’s definition that they are basically connective forces and the manner of travel from one note to another. There are 32 ways of gamaka’s, which are mainly responsible for the aesthetic enjoyments in the entire performance, differing from each artist. My intention not to represent gamaka's, but use them in such a way, that they could transform into microtonal ornamentation of the melodic cycles.
The work is commissioned by the Wigmore Hall with the support of André Hoffmann, President of the Fondation Hoffmann, a Swiss grant-making foundation. The world is dedicated to the ensemble Apartment House.

“So... Are you a bit happy here, at least?”
“What do you mean by happiness? It's such a strong word..."
“I mean do you have a bit of a life, too?”
“Like going to the movies or something?”
“Well, yes... just doing something you enjoy.”
“Lots of words around here: fun, happiness, life... We should sort it out. What do you think it's worth living for?”
“If you want to discuss the big topics... I can't say that off the top of my head. I really just wanted to know how you're doing.”
“I know that. But then you should have your own answers.”
— Maren Ade, Toni Erdmann

are you even human? (2020)
