Program note
In this work, I am inspired by the long moving walkways found in many of the major airports. The moment you get on, you are moving at high speed toward your destination, even if you are strolling or standing still. The sensation of the slow motion of the body in contrast to the surrounding swiftness creates a fascinating duality that I have tried to recreate in the work: Swirling movements and fast markings that slowly forms melodic motifs as well as rhythmical figures in different tempos. Everything on top of a slowly falling layer of chords, which, in two approximately equal parts, leads us to an end in the same register as in the beginning of the piece.

Programnote
I dette værk er jeg inspireret af de lange rullefortov, der findes i mange af de store lufthavne. I det øjeblik du stiger på, føres du med høj hastighed af sted mod dit mål, selvom du måske bare slentrer af sted, eller står stille. Fornemmelsen af kroppens langsomme bevægelser i kontrast til omgivelsernes hastighed, skaber en fascinerende dobbelthed som jeg har forsøgt at genskabe i værket: Hvirvlende bevægelser og hurtige markeringer der langsomt former sig til melodiske motiver samt rytmiske figurer i forskellige tempi. Alt sammen ovenpå et langsomt faldende lag af akkorder, der i to omtrent lige store formdele fører os mod en afslutning i det samme register som i begyndelsen af satsen.
