Notes:

The composition is divided in two sections:
section 1: a fragmented catalogue of sounds creates a multi-dimensional relationship attempting to build concentration
section 2: an extended soundscape containing similar constructions within environmental stream of sounds stimulating associations
with previous sections, developing rather a calming flow - monotonous pulsation which encompasses a variety of textures and colours
as whole section unfolds, creating a meditative atmosphere, suspending notion of time.
