This work uses a technique of cuts between different musical ideas. All these ideas differ in their harmony, rhythm, dynamics, and timbre, whereas an overall directionality is still present. Exploring the possibilities of an accordion, this work makes heavy use of extended techniques such as air sounds and percussive elements to make the timbre of the individual ideas more distinct and unique.
