Verkkommentar
This was a commission from the Nationa Symphony String Quartet through their primarie Miron Kojan.
I started one which I then abandend since it didn't mach the idea in my head. The vision for the piece came as a reflection of a boat trip from Kavalla to Tasos in Northern Greece. The trip was in complite fogno land could be seen in any direction.
Reminded me about Odysseus when he left Troy and entered the thick mist just in this area of the Aegean See. Started a new with few weeks left before the deadline. It starts slow mysterious and develops inte clear presens to later return into the mist /fog.
