This work reveals its beginning and ending only as transient moments, without any sense of rest. The movements are slow and methodical. Sounds are constantly moving through space, continually multiplying, ceaselessly establishing connections between diverse gestures, elements, particles, and dimensions, a chain of varying speeds with accelerations, transformations, and changes in direction

The preceding text was inspired by some concepts found in Deleuze and Guattari's A Thousand Plateaux.
In this composition, the main sound sources were drops of water and other abstract sounds taken from previous compositions. Since my aim was to work only with abstract sounds, I processed the sounds extensively with a computer. It was composed at the Electroacoustic Music Studios in the University of Birmingham (UK).
