The work was written during my postgraduate studies in The Hague. It was influenced to a certain degree by Dutch ensembles which often combine contemporary music with the elements of jazz and improvisation. I was also inspired by Stephany Grapelli's violin jazz improvisation. In its formal concept, the composition is based on a sequence of contrasting episodes: the tutti which follow the conventions of repetitive music and the solo sections in which the linearly-treated violin part is enriched by the use of delay.

Towards the end of piece, the tape part appears. It has the charakter of an epilogue and is a kind of commentary on the whole composition. The tape is in the convention of musique concrete. The remaining sound sources are Korg X-5, Lexicon LXP-15 and transformations (delay, reverberations, tremolando voce spin, ring modulator etc.). The work was commissioned by the Foundation of Warsaw Autumn Friends, with the financial support of the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation in Munich.
