Images from the premiere at Porgy & Bess, Vienna 2002
 

About the shadowy omnipresence of future and past, the foreshadowing and the repeating.Within this 34 minutes long composition, 15 time windows of light and sound emerge. Acoustic instruments dissolve overshadowed by electronic sounds, performers (re-) appear as shadows of the spotlight. Musical shadings in an interplay of development and repetition, improvisation as the shadow play of composition.
