Christian Mühlbacher and Werner Dafeldecker asked improvisers to play one solo each. Out of those ten soli which were all played completely independently from each other the composers produced collages on the computer, the so-called 'diphtongs'. They selected, interrupted, thought, set different tunes together, decided on the dramaturgy, and thus formed pieces of music. Care and accuracy seem to have been the most important criteria. Each player is allowed plenty of space, the subtle interplay between foreground and background characterizes the individual parts.

Recorded between March and August 1994 at CSC, Vienna, Austria.
