The piece is built on the concept of a solid silence and is therefore preferred to be performed in front of a live audience. With this concept the starting point of any sound; the silence is treated as a solid physical element. To produce sound within a solid silence one has to use a certain amount of physical energy to force this solid silence resonate. The score focuses therefore on a combination of gestures, actions that result in actual symbols of sound. The actions and gestures that the performer is required to perform are never to be simulated or pretended - everything that transpires on the stage must be real, indifferent to the auditive result or the lack of it.
We start in the gesture and move on to the sound.
A purity in sound is almost impossible to achieve within this solid silence luckily it is not the aim of the piece either. When the piece has reached a musical maturity the wanted result is to create a tangible tension in the sound - the physical gestures and the silence. All this so to create a space where a total focus on sound might be possible.
