This composition is a work which may be described as bio-music: with its story and images it is linked very closely to the respective biography of each musician (and of the composer...), as well as to the particular history of the trio.
The texts - partly pre-produced and recorded on tape and partly to be spoken 'live' in time with the score (sometimes in multiple layers) - are understood as prompt and proposition. According to the setting, state of mind and requirements, the texts always can, and have to, be adapted to reality (or what that is perceived to be).
