The work uses findings from research into sound and emotion, in combination with regular composition techniques. This is used to make a kind of ‘script’ that addresses the non-verbal and non-expert appreciation of the music. The result is a composition that is at the same time strict with its inner construction, while completely extrovert in the way it carries itself. Performance features are extensively used in the last section, where several of the players cut them self away from the conductor’s baton, to achieve a special, simultaneous yet inter-independent rubato.
