(inspired by Anton Webern’s Variations for piano op.27)

Five experimental site-specific compositions on white noise, that were composed/played at five cities over the last five years, are reworked for the Free Arts Space – a unique space in a bomb shelter in Helsinki – and patched into a single new composition.
The five variations (in order) are dedicated to the following cities:
Karlsruhe, New York, Helsinki, Wolfsburg and Budapest.
