The piece is performed with the musicians standing in a circle around the audience. The inspiration comes from a traditional basque form form of settlement/village type called «circle of mountains». Important tasks in the village are divided between its residents based on ethno-mathematical principles, and I have translated some of the basque rotation patterns to sound patterns that propagates around the circle of musicians.
