"Individual combinations of timbres, noises and rhythmic elements are used to create five 'states' of different character; improvisational actions and the resulting theatrical effects also play a role.

The composition consists of five sections that follow one another seamlessly; their interlocking is achieved by the fact that each section already contains the section already introduces the melodic, rhythmic and harmonic elements harmonic elements are introduced in each section.

The notation is supplemented by several graphic components; the improvisations in the fourth section are precisely described and draw on traditionally notated building blocks. ...

Hoyer's percussion piece brings out the different tonal qualities of the percussion quartet in a versatile way and also gives an important place to the visual side of the performance in the improvisational section which functions as a climax."
