The Indo European root *ghed meant "to catch", and it is related to the inner sense of this piece. It is a challenge to the performer to catch all potentiality of it, through the expansion of his own potentiality. The music score was based on a graphical analysis of the centre of the Milk Way. And like other compositions of mine, it implicates a profound and creative involvement of the performer. The piece has ten minutes and it is divided in ten groups of one minute each. There are seven different colours in the graphical analysis of the Milk Way - each colour represents a complex set of tendencies. In terms of frequencies, to each colour it was applied an Indian raga series - from morning to evening. The day, the Universe, life that is present in sound.
