By the associative-metaphorical title York Höller refers to the determinants of his oeuvre. These references change in various ways and are to be understood in terms of both space (the graphic development of the serial structures on the manuscript paper, called 'tonal figures' by the composer) and time (the real tonal development of the lines, here within the framework of isometric progression) and history (moments of music history appearing as quotations - the String Trio by Arnold Schoenberg in the case of the vanishing points). Virtually developing organically from an improvisation-like beginning via sketches and breaks to emotional conclusiveness, Höller's piece charmingly scored for winds, piano and percussion is a concise summary of musical thinking.
