Although sonically it contains almost opposite sound textures, from fast, loud free improvisations to (very) silent chamber music, it is still based on same compositional/improvisational strategies. The work is centered to main piece, as or another for piano and electronics, but starts with a collage of free improvisations by author. After both is two spectral compositions, based on previous piece: string quartet movement using free improvisation collage as harmonic/rhythmic material, and piece for sine tones based on spectra of as or another. A kind of four movement piece, where the last section contains also music from third part of the piece.
