The title work by Hubert Zemler relates to a gradual emancipation of percussion sounds throughout the 20th century. From timbre ornaments in symphonic music, through discovering the beauty of sounds previously regarded as „non-musical”, to marriage of electronic devices with acoustic instruments. The album's programme is complimented by Steve Reich's iconic minimal music work „Music for Pieces of Wood” in Hubert Zemler's arrangement for a solo perfomer as well as beautiful and subtle Per Nørgård's „Waves”.
