"This work was composed in memoriam to Udo Moll, a very good friend of mine, who was a member of the MJO from the very beginning. He passed away completely unexpected in January 2023. The analog synthesiser on the tape is played by Udo himself, recorded on a duo concert we played in 2022. I extracted Udo's part and composed the orchestra score around it."
