A meditation on contemporary music. Today we easily cruise through 500 years of music history. And if we count the origin of melodies of Roman Turovsky, we can add another couple of hundred years.
We invite you to journey with us, be taken from one atmosphere to another and letting your mind create your own images. Because one thing all works have in common, is they are very expressive. And despite a somewhat restless cover, they all are tranquil at the core. If you find these, you can quietly experience the movement around you. In other words: let the music show and silence speak! You will music of Anna Backerra, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Worfram Buchenberg, Roman Turovsky, Pauline Oliveros and Nico Muhly. And a short poem by Erna Speek.
