Program notes:

​

The piece is a reflection about life itself. The music acts as if the listener was inside the mind of someone close to death who is recalling important moments of his life such as childhood, sexual experiences, parties, work and death. The piece uses recorded and synthesized sounds to suggest all these environments, sometimes clearly and sometimes blurred, illustrating passages of life that almost everyone can relate with.
