The recording of a waterfall forms the basis of the full-length composition. However, more important as its function as acoustic material, it serves as an inexhaustible reservoir of forms and processes, which can be derived from it by means of varoious analytical methods. This material is complemented by a number of 'imaginary acoustic objects' - numerical oscillators (so-called physical models) designed especially for this purpose, which are brought to life by the actual sound of the water and its transformation.
"An island of clear, classical avantgarde - a forceful, precise work, of high technical, as well as esthetical competence"
