The work, consisting of six parts, was composed as part of the “Composer's Commissions” programme implemented by the National Institute of Music and Dance. The source of inspiration for the composer was text The Prophet by Lebanese writer and poet Khalil Gibran. It is no accident that this work was chosen.

The invited guests are the British multidisciplinary artist Graham Lambkin and the Japanese sculptor Rie Nakajima, who combines architecture and sound. Both of them remain open to randomness in their work, so in the created sound situation, spatial interventions and sounds of third parties do not exclude it, but enrich it. Graham Lambkin will use electroacoustic sound collages from field recordings. Rie Nakajima will highlight connections with Hashtag Lab in this improvisation session, using a combination of various objects with mechanized devices.
