The idea for the composition is inspired by our brain activity during meditation: It is about the behaviour of brain waves in terms of their intensity and variable duration during an active or passive state of consciousness, during concentration or disturbance, but also in other situations, moods and sensations, and during pleasant or unpleasant perceptions. Glissandi and regular cyclic vibratos, but also disturbances – represented by different noise variations –, constitute the musical structure of the composition.
