This piece is semi-improvised and graphically notated using a notation system developed by Faidra, and involves process as a core element.

Through researching how contraforte responds to different intentions (pressure increases, changing internal space, micro-movements of keys, not listening/observing all sound and many other ways), these processes were organised to create a piece that explores the extremes of the Kontraforte.
