world premiere Luxembourg 1999

The piece aims at a balance between static sheets of sound and rhythmic/melodic impulse. The marimba carries the main part together with the accordeon, while the remaining instruments fall into an accompanying role. The resulting character is that of an eerie presence, and this is also due to the unusual combination of instruments, with the presence of a bass saxophone as the most striking single element.
