Background

Programme note

What is a thought, an idea, an invention?
Where does the stream of developments come from, and what feeds it?
What is it, an idea? Where does it come from? Whose ideas have triggered mine? And whose triggered theirs?
When composing, one is an interface in an infinite and never-ending circuit of connections.

Thomas Larcher
