The musical material consists of two levels: (1.) microphone-recorded sounds of everyday human activities, and (2.) musical material, which was produced with different means of electronic sound synthesis. The extensive electronic transformation of these items and their arrangement in larger musical units took place particularly on the basis of gesture criteria (i.e., the energetic process of human movement items, the rhythm of tension and relaxation, reflects itself directly in the musical structures and their combinations). The aim is to create by this means an electronic music, which is able to address the listener directly by this specific gesture or physical quality.
