Prog. notes: This work based on the “Dance of the Seven Veils”, which is an elaboration on the biblical story “Salome”. The seven layers of veil represent the imagination (dream), rational, passion, bliss (love, surprise), courage, sympathy, and knowledge (talent). You’ll see all the truth directly once opened the last layer of the veil.
This composition takes seven minutes, which contains seven different parts with specific emotions. Each minutely part applies seven variation techniques to create sounds and explore the mystery of the number 7.
